TARIFF INJUSTICE.
Rank Discrimination Against the Poor
and in Favor of the Rich.

Rank Discrimination Against tho Poor
and in Favor of the Rich.
The Republican party promised in
its National platform of 1884 to "cor-
rect the inequalities of the tariff" but
instead of redeeming this promise or
taking any step looking that way, it
has offered every possible resistance to
every attempt made in Congress to
correct those inequalities. Now, what
are the inequalities OF the tariff? We
think that most people will agree
that duties of moro than 100 per cent.
are cases OF inequality. seeing that
some other duties are as low as 10 per
cent The following articles in the
present tariff list are taxed 100 per
cent. or more, viz:
