INFIRMARY NOTES.
PooA. March 10th, 1888.

we never expect TO enter the political
arena, yet if the st. Louis or Chicago con,
Yention should place me or my friend jim
Donovan at the head of either ticket, We
guarantee not to do very much kicking. We
are not partizan, and promise to do the best
we can for the people, the whole people
north and south.
We are not free traders but anti tariff men
or in other words, we are in for low pres.
sure tariff. Should our nomination and
election prove fortunate, we propose to
engage brains in all departments of state
But as brains are sadly at discount in the
republic, we propose to employ Murai
Halsted to thump their heads against the
wall, whenever they are deficient in this
staple article. We also have our eye on our
friend Joe Halter and intend to reserve a
portfolio for him. mo Irish need apply. J
We also think Sam. Haag would make good
Postmaster General, but we are Distressing
or diverging. Now for the tariff. The chief
aim in q revision of our present tarff is to
adjust the inequalities of conditions. We are
still groaning under the old war tax. We are
about sixty millions of people, the present
revenue is about one million per day or five
dollars per capita, in the aggregate three
hundred millions year. AS great as it was
any time during the war, added to this the
profit of dealers, middle men and east of
| transportation and the purchasing power of
your dady dollar ranges from 45 to 70 cts. In
expending your dollar for the necessaries of
life, you get about this much of your hard
earnings in the way of support. We want
the tariff cut down and thus enhance the
power of the dollar in the interest of the
wage workers and bread winners. We want
to see the masses better housed fed and
clothed, this can be done by giving them
cheaper articles of consumption. Knock out
the tariff and we shall have it, let the wealthy
pay more and the laborer less. Adjust this SO
| the laborer shall have the benefit, and not
| always be granting bonus to wealthy cor
porations, individuals and syndicates. The
consumer must in the end and is paying this
enormous tax, while our representatives and
senators at Washington are fooling the time
away upon fine spun technicalites. The way
to reduce the tariff is, to reduce it and be
done with it.
Sam Lowry, of near Florida, is now a
boarder in the Poga. This is the second
time this gent has been here, says he ran out
of grub. Too much machinery and life
insurance done them up, the old man fails to
die. Good health at this writing. GAINS.
