Tho following arc the rates of duty unaer
and the new tariff laws. SEQ for yourselves
new rates favor tho farmer:

This is a strong appeal to the farmers OF Erie
and Niagara counties since they have had to com
pete with Canadian products In the markets OF
Buffalo The Mckinley Tariff bill will undouot-
edly increase the compensation Of the farmers VINO
sell their products in the Buffalo markets. Al
times the competition Of the Canadians with tne
Americans in this market has been Of o very severe
character. 1t Is safe to say that every farmer
who cherishes his own interests will vote for MIR.
Davis and against Mr.. Bunting. 1t is plain that
as the days pass tho farmers Of the two counties
are more and more perceiving that they have q
large pecuniary interest in the result Of the can
vass for Congressman.
Manufacturers also see that it Is to their in
terests that Mr. Davis should be elected. In Lock-
port there are large wood-pulp mills. The increase
in the duty on wood-pup is naturally largely to
their interest and that Of the workngmen employed
by them. The lumbermen ct Tonawanda also are
delighted over the fact that the Mckinley Tariff
bill has compelled the Canadian Government to
remove the export duty upon logs. This will be
greatly to their advantage.
Naturally, the Republicans are also calling the
attention of the voters of the two counties to the
fact that the Republican Legislature has largely
reduced the State taxes, and therefore that the
Republican candidates for Assemblymen are en-
titled to their support. The table given below
shows this reduction in both counties:

Both of the Assembly districts Of Niagara
County were represented by Democratic Assembly,
men last year neither Of them has been renom-
inatd. One Of them had s23 majority, and the
other only III majority. It should be stated d
that a Republican candidate for the Assembly had
over 400 maj0rty in SOS in the district which
gave Democrat 623 majority last year Both OF
tile districts in 1887 elected Republicans, and
both, therefore, are doubtful districts. The Re
pubhcans therefore, are making strong effort to
recapture them. They have nominated two farmers
as their candidates: the Farmers Alliance move
ment being strong this year. These men are
EDWARD Manning, of Columbia, and Samuel h.
Petit, Of Wilson. They are both strong candi-
dates and ought to be elected. The Democrats
have also nominated two farmers: Levi r.
Gillette and Garwood L. Judd 1t Is said that
Governor Hill has sent word from Albany that
the democratic candidates must BE- elected. H. II.
Guenther, OF Erie County, Democrat who repre-
sents the WITH Distict Of that county, was com-
PEELED to give up the nomination for congress
because the Governor sent word he must run for
Aasemblyman again, being regarded as strong
candidate for Assemblyman. One Of the Gov
errors agents said The Governor considers one
Assemblyman this year worth two Congressmen. y
Mr. Hill evidently hopes to be elected United
States Senator. But what will Mr.. Bunting
think of being traded of to- obtain votes for the
Democratic candidates for Assemblymen In
Niagara and Erie counties?
