This list ought to command the careful
consideration of every consumer who de
sires to reveal in the great boon sc
graciously bestowed upon him by the
Republican party.
He must to continue, for instance, tc
pay 25 per cent. on primer or Bible
printed in English, which he can read
but he can secure one printed in Russian
or Spanish, which he cannot read, free o.
duty. 1t is shrewdly suspected that thi.
tax was removed to encourage the study
ofVolapuk in order that people may bet
ter understand certain expressions utter
ed in the House of Representatives
whose full force cannot, or any rate has
not been conveyed in English text.
The consumer Of cat gut will be dc
lighted to learn that he has no more du
ties to pay on that article, provided h,
will agree not to use it On musica
instruments
It cannot be denied that the duty OF
potatoes has been increased 10 cents
bushel, but this is clearly offset by tn
removal of the burdensome tax Of twC
cents per pound on dandelion roots.
On all carpets, too, the duty has beel
advanced from II to so per cent, but thi
is of very little consequence when on
considers that hereafter he will be abl
to purchase Chinese mating withou
extra cost. .a NJ
Surely nobody having the interests o
his country at heart can with reason OBJ
ject to the increase of hay from So to s
per ton when he reflects that Mr.. McKin
ley permits him to import istle and Tam
pico fibre free of charge. .'
On linseed oil he must pay an increas
OF. seven cents per gallon, but for oil
aft only for such uses as soap maxim
and wire drawing" he need not lay dow
red cent.
twill cost him $50 to bring hors
across the Canada line, but if be will pu
up with the hair of horse" without th
animal itself no custom officer will distur
his reflections.
