ROBBERS AND eEeeARs.

It is humiliatlng and disgraeeful that
honest and patriotic citizens are com
PEELED to attempt to argue gravely against
tariff-rob bers and subsidy grabbers who
wish to enforce their claims against the
people and the public Treasury. They
base their several pleas on false grounds
of public benefit when they are simply
robbing and begging for themselves. The
only reason that the pleas they
make gain a moments consideration is
that the robbers and beggars have the
respectability, without the patriotism,
which wealth gives.
Considered on their merits there is no
more reason why the people should pay
tnibpte to a rich syndicate of tinplate
manufacturers than to rich syndicate Of
quinine manufacturers. The same pleas
were urged by the quinine manufacturers
which are urged by the tin plate manu-
iacturers.
Qanine is cheaper; the industry is in
a more prosperous connition and wages
are higher than when the duty was on.
Every plea that was made 10 continue
the duty on quinine has proven false.
Every candid and sensible man knew they
were false when they were male
Every sensible and candid man knows
that it is against public policy now to
pay rich syndicate Of $20, 000, 900, a
bonus Of $iO,OOO,O 600 per aunum, for
manufacturing tin plate Nobody has
ever proved that bonus was needed, or
how much would be sufficient, or how
long the industry would be "an infant
Because the industry represents 800,
000, 600 capital-some Of that English
and German capital-it is taken for
i. .sranted that the pleas made for it are
truthful end that it must be pro.
tracted"
Such demands are shameless. They
are made with the same persistence and
for the same reason that the buccaneer
Lafitte levied tribute on all vessels
which entered the Delta'of the Missis-
sIppi river during the last century.
II these beggars and robbers were poor
and uninHuential their pleas would be
laughed to scorn. They are as false as
the pleas Of the tramp who begs and
threatens charity from defenceless
women.
1t makes a mans blood boil to be COM
PEELED TO argue against a robber and a
beggar no matter under how respectable
a guise he may appear.
