Mckinley Fallaciss.
y The Nc inley tariff bill advocates
in Congress will be disappointed if
they think that they can make the
Pacific Coast farmers believe THAT the
kind Of reciprocity advocated in the
bill will benefit them in any respect.
The farmers of the present time are
too shrey4l-snd well posted upon mat.
ters psfSning to cur government TO
be idisffd by such false assumptions
Is the reciprocity pretense of the Nc
Kinley bill.
1t is only put in to pacify the farm
ers, who are becoming very much dis.
satisfied with the heavy burden OF
9 taxation by way Of war tariff upon
everything they need. while at the
, same time they receive but low prices
for I'LL their surplus products, because
other nations. who need them exert
themselves to their utmost ability to
produce the same to get even with US
for our system of prohibitiye tariff in.
flicted upon them.
The reciprocity in the late tariff bill
il only blind to mislead the farmer.
- The South American Republics
need nothing the Pacific Coast farmer
raises, but need the manufactured
product Of the New England States,
already very highly pr9tested, 90 that
it is evident'it viii avail nothing to
our farmers on this Coast.
Another item in the pernicious bill
Is the sugar item. Raw sugar is
/. on the free Ast while . duty is placed
upon refined sugar equal to $50. 600 600
annual revenue. BY placing raw sugar
on The free list the national treasury
is deprived of an annual revenue OF
s5o.OoO.bOO. but as 4 duty is retained
-on refined sugar, the consumer will
be; compelled 10. pay the same old
prices for the sugar he buys for daily
use, while the refneries really buy
their raw sugar cheaper to the amount
Of fifty millions OF dollars annually,
thus transferring the enormous SUM of
$4,000, 600 yearly from the United
States Treasury to the Golfers of the
gigantic sugar trusts, who control the
entire business of that kind in the
country. Will, the American voters
stand such nefarious legislation in
in favor Of trusts and against the
peoples God forbidl The star Of
hope is rising in the east, and the
Republican hosts and tariff benefciaries
can already read their doom in the
setting sun.
That powerful weapon in the hands
Of the hosts of inyincible American
-fseemen; will lay low the unscfupuIous
tribes that prey upon the working
people who earn tlieie4 daily bread by
the sweat of the brow. Let them
!! take warming and guard themselves.
