He then continued; "The republicans
say that the duty is not paid by the con-
sumer, but by the foreigners aud import
ers. When the importer pays IL he charges
so much more 10 the wholesale dealers.
They charge extra 10 the retailers and
they 10 the consumers. In this part OF the
country we get little benefit from the
tariff for we have nothing 10 lay Il on eX-

tendency Of the tariff is higher and to
benefit the eastern manufacturers. The
Mckinley bill put larger tarir on wool,

lie then instanced the case Of the rise
In the price Of goods at all stores and

He gave the history Of all the legislation
on silver coinage up TO last summer

With that he left the subject aud spoke
as follows: think there are entirely too
many political questions in congress. To
my mind member should look after the
interests Of his constituents and state
rather than his political policy. Eastern
men get bill introduced, and members
from the northwest, instead of standing
together and getting their rights, split on
political grounds and let their interest be
trodden under foot by high tarilf or gold
men,
