Bill, and Other Meas
ures.

greeted Hon. j. j. Browne ut Con-
cordia hal last evening. The speak.
er was in good voice, and spoke for
nearly two hours, substantially as
follows:

ton, 1 believe the citizens of the United
states should not be subjected 10 un-
necessary and burdensome taxation.
The Mckinley bill, recently become
law, in teriercs with, ana arbitrarily re'

on 1000, and 6o,oo0 on every 100000.

market this year 10000 bushels of
wheat. Now, while selling his wheat In
