those which bear hcavieS- upon the

A Political Neathercock.

In his recent tariff speech Senator
sherman said hat the Scent revenue
tax on tobacco was burden to the
farmer and to the consumer. On
February 10, 1883, pending the consid-
Grafton of the clause relating TO in
ternai taxes on snuff and manufactured
tobacco, which the bill. as reported.
placed ut II cents per pound after July
l, 1888, Senator Beck moved to make
the rate s cents, which was agreed to
despite the fact that 5 nator Sherman
voted No" If the l2-ccut rate was
not a burden to the farmer and TO the
consumer in 1888, what makes the s.
cent rate so now? John Sherman is a
fraud and 3 wcathcrcock. On Fcbru-
airy 10, 1888, Senator Gplman moved
for the repeal Of the intcrhal-reyenue
tax on tobacco, snuff aud cigars His
motion was rejected by vote of Z
yeas to ~ nays, Senator Sherman vot-
in% "No," rs he did upon every prop
osition to reduce The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Sherman is a fraud and political
