THE object of the spy census now to
be taken is plain. It's foreordained that
all the statistics are to be twisted and
warped so as TO make case for protection.
Men are to be pumped to make showing
of large wealth all along the line 1t is
declared beforehand that manufacturers
must put on a poor mouth. The census
must show that they are not making large
profits. Then The tanners and laboring
men are to be shown up rich, pursy in
paunch and pocket This will show,
don't you see, what protection does. 1t
will be made as clear as barrel of figures
set up in columns, can make it, that pro-
lection helps everybody but the manufac-
turer; and he is kept out Of the poor house
only by the hope of higher tariff.
