In President Cleveland's inessage lie
states that duties are collected upon
4, 600 different articles under the pres
ent tariff. Democratic papers are ring
ing the same cry in their eDdeavor to
convey the impression that this ''ini.
quitous tariff reaches In all directions.
Now the fact is, as the inquiring read
er may find by reference to the Com.
merce and Navigation Report for 1886,
the latest detailed figures yet available,
that the articles upon which duties
were collected during that year mum
Dered only yoz, or Iess Jnan one fourth
of the number elaitned. This is a
most significant showing. The num.
Der of articles on the free list was i'm.
creased by the tariff of 1888, repub-
ican measure, to more than 800, or al
most exactly one-third the number OF
articles that paid duty in 1886. The
Rep. party is the only party that has
been capable of revising the tariff, and
it has done so in a manner to relieve
The consumer without iDjuring the
wage workers Of the country. The
declaration of the president that A.. DOC
different articles pay duty under the
existing tariff shows that he does not
know what he is talking about, and
the fact that he EXHIBITS so little intel

In the Presidential election of 1872
there were eight States which voted the
Democratic ticket; in 1876 there were
seventeen Democratic States; in 1880
there were nineteen Democratic States.
and in 1884 there were twenty. In 1879
there were thirty States voting the Re
publican ticket, or rejected or stolen; in
1876 there were twenty-one thus cate
goned; in 1880 there were nineteen, and
In 1884 eighteen. This is the march of

as steadily as the hand of Fate, regaining
their grasp upon the Government and
