THE TARIFF II MASSACHUSETTS,.

Many evidences are coming to light that

many of it, manufacturers towards the pre-
sent tariff laws. If hides had been taken
from the free list. as was seriously proposed
in the first draft Of the Mckinley bill, there
can De little ground for doubt that the Bay
State would al the next election have gone
over 10 the Democrats.
Fortunately for the Republican OrganiIa-
ton in the state. the Republican members
Of the Ways and Means Committee decided
at the last moment, that IT would DE UNI

the Massachusett, manufacturers. to i'm
pose duty on this article Of commerce.
These manufacturers, however, are still
sore "Why should contribute to the Re

prominent shoe and leather manufacturers
in New England is recently reported 10 have
said ~ Republican Congress tried 10
bring ruin upon my business. What for:
Simply to make richer a handful Of million
aire beef men. 1t is the policy Of the party
in its later years 10 build mp the already
rich and pull down the ulddle class 10 the
lowest level. to make the rich still richer
and the poor so poor that they cannot de-
mand their rights. Il has fo>tored giant
monopolies to Cypress the people, but the
day of reckoning is not far on"
The wool manufacturers Of the state are
reported 10 bee thoroughly dissatisfied with
ihe present tariff laws relating 10 the article
in which they are especially interested, and
their views are rapidly growing into ac-
cord with the position which the Demo
cratic party has taken in connection with
it, The mon and steel manufacturers are also
displeased with the preference that has been
shown for those who are engaged in Penn
sylyania in the same general line Of manu-
features themselves Altogether, the grow
ing discomfort with the Republican party,
now to be observed among the most inhuen-

parts Of his eulogy the words Of the French
Bishop are adopted with little alteration
The whole eulogy, 80 far is it bears on The
question Of Immortality, d, practically an

In the general judgment Of booms, one

which finds IFS only support in the specuia-
tive spirit prevailing in that community i-

The remarkable material activity now
prevailing in So many parts Of Virginia
rests upon a more substantial basis than is
