ACCORDING TO the tariff bill OF the repuh-
licau Senate the only important articles on
which the tariff tax is reduced are sugar,
rnolasaes aud rice, all Southern products
But the bill increases the tax on such neces-
saries of life as backing, paints, medicine,
china, glass, iron, !io, pins and needles, ma
chinery, furniture, hops, thread, yarn, bags,
canvas, collars and cuffs, shawlA blankets,
clothing, hats, paper, clocks, and others too
numerous to mention. The democratic
House, acting upon the democratic principle,
that the good OF the many must be proVid'
ed for before that of the few, wisely refused
TO take the tax of tobacco, until that OF the
accessories of life should be removed, know
ing full we'll that if the tobacco tax were
repealed, the revenue would be so much re-
duced that the protectionists would offer
that as a plausible excuse for continuing
the tax on the prime, every day necessaries
of life.
