One would suppose from reading dem |
ocfatic papers that the Mckinley bill
makes an increase in the duties on many
OF the necessafies of life and makes no re-
ductlon In duties on these articles. Now,
I am a republican and a protectionlst, and
would like to have you name few articles
Of necessity upon which duties have been
Increased.
