Solely In the Interest Of Monopoly,
Interview win senator Carlisle,
think that the tariff will be the most
prominent question for the consideration
Of the people, aa II affects the interest OF
all In every part OF tho country, and Will
greatly Increase the cost OF living. The
tariff bill which has just become law At.
fecta lnjurioualy not only the intereata Of
the consumer, but the interests OF great
many manufacturers, because many Of
the Increased rates Of duty are on articles
which our manufacturers are compelled
to use IN their industries. What Ia one
mans ilniahed product 10 In a great num-
ber OF cases another mans material, and
therefore, whatever inereaaea the cost
while II may help the man who produces
W increases the cost OF the product IN
which II In used, aud inoroaaeathe price Of
that product 10 the consumer, For In
stance, the Increase Of duty on wool made
II necessary, In order 10 preserve what
was called the "aymmeiryn Of the bill, 10
increase largely the duty ON woolen gooda,
And 30 Of the Increase In the duty on flax
which resulted necessarily ION the same
princlple) In making large increases In
the dutlen on linen cloths and clothing
and other articles manufactured from
that material The aame may be
said Of tho increase OF duty on
tin plAtea' aud Of the imposltion
OF duty on block tin, camel'slalr and
other materlnle that have boon heretofore
froe.S Camena'hnir, you arc aware, II used
In the manufacture OF underwear and Of q
great many necNanAry articles.
When you Increase tho prices OF tho
commodilca which tho people are com.
PEELED 10 have, the almost inevitable
elect ID ~ raise 10 some extent the prlcoA
OF all other artlclea. All the products OF
labor except such aa we produce In greater
quantities. Than we nood for domektlc con.
sumption, as In tho ceen with agricultural
products generally, will thus rise In price,
but wages oflaborefs and The compon.
aation OF persons With fixed salaries viii
not rlae. They are always the lasi 10 feel
tho effect of n general Increase Of prices.
No tariff can possibly affect the wages OF
labor In this country, because wages
always depend on tho law OF supply and
demand, and no artificial arrangement
can aifoct them bonciiclnlly. All tho
effect that such arrangement can have IN
70 Increase tho cost Of tho thing which tho
laborer has 70 buy with his wPRos--whlch
II precisely tho same thing 70 Tim as II his
wages were actually reduced.
THE ooEaoIyG RECIPROCITY FRAUD.
Tho species OF cocrclyo reciprocity, II II
can bo properly called reciprocity, pro-
vided for In the now tariff bill, Ia alto
nathan nau la Nhta nannNEtE IA not 40
be accomplished by either treaty or legls-
latlon, but by an executive ukase. The
President Ia ~ coercc foreign nations by
taxing our own cltizons. As Mr.. Eyarts
aaid, II ia an attempt 10 authorize tho
President 70 mako n treaty without the
Senate and 70 mako q tariff without the
House OF Representatives, Even II Con-
RreBs could conatltutlonally delegate such
power 10 him tho proposed scheme IN q
most transparent device 10 deceive the
people, for nothing will ever result from
Il. Before this campaign Ia over its folly
and injustice will be 40 thoroughly ex-
posed that Ia authors and advocates will
be ashamed Of II.

about A26,0O0,0O0 for expenditures OF the
