We are in receipt Of the COngTfssion

number fof pointers,
senator Vest OF Missouri, appears 10
excellent advantage ln THIS NUMBER
and We lerl justified in giving RnmHpt
| tbp subslaupt of bis remarks Ou the
peudiug taFIt bill For instance We
Take 40 the Queensware ana oloeAtly
schedules, These are articles OF gen
eral consumption, aud tho matter inter
cats ua all,
Mr Vest calls attention 10 the fact
that tho rates ar6 lowest on tho me
wares used by the rich, while the lower
goods, used by the poor bear q hlghlff
rate, When The manufacturer OF wares
WAS in its infancy the tarlit taxes were
10 per cent ad YalOrem, during theWar
lt went 10 iupeF cent aa II lannW pro
posed ~ make II bO per cent, Here We
quOte from senator Nesl
WIhe common plates or dishes on Mo
table ut the lahurer pay ile same lulY

covered with mHndarns and papOdas, o.
the freHCh shepherd and 6hrpheldehH lu
amOruus dallIauce Ot the mHulel pf NE
millionaire, When the farmers reflect
that under the census pf 1870 lhe whole
number 0t persons employed ln ihls husl'
ness la the United States WAS less Than
ton thousand, whose labor amounted %
sAgi,Hb annually, aud the consumers ut
this country paid in lhsH fi,h.1llNW iarllt

Trenton, N, I,, Hnd East Liverpool OHIO,
in the district uf Me- Mckinley they can

srualor Vest then takes up the cut
| lefy acheduuuud he shows IN neYefy case
that the heaviest duties are imposed on
| the cheapest artIcltRin other words the
poor man rs robbed IN every Instance,
senator Vest next takes ny
/ the schedules on cotton ana
w0Oen goods ana shows that the
cheaper article la every case ID made 10
bear the highest taxation by the Nc
! kinley blll senator Vest says
"l would be glad 10 know what inilu-
cnCc has raised this taIlil tax upon
every man, woman or child IN this
United States who wears q cull or col
lar, IN order 70 put more money INTO
/ tho pockets Of this monopoly greasy
and 6lOWed but yOraclOualy demand
ing more, This single item carries the
whole history OF tariff taxation, For
| twenty years lhrHe manufacturers pros
pered aud grew apacG without prOtec
| ton, but I'M 1857 after trouble with their
operatives, without knowing the
amount OF foreign competing Imports,
and simply because Harrison had been
elected, they conclude 10 put m q claim
| for their part Of the plunder, and gctit
Why uoty The robbery must go on
anyhow, and they are 40 much entitled
20 Il part OF the lafmerF, money Rs any
other member Of the gang
The best part OF Senator Vests
speech Is where no proves that these
same highly protected manufacturers
are selling their wares In foreign
countries from 30 to 10 per cent, less
| than they are selling the same articles
at home uere again we quote from
senator Vest
"No further conocnlmont N possible.
The truth iaut last revealed, aud we ilnd
that these manufacturers, who are per-
| ANoutly asking higher dutiCs 20 exclude
foreign compouion,orCuyill ihcmholya
ul the uuupoly given hy the exclusive
tariff 20 charge Tie people Of this country
for their goods from 20 tu 10 per cent,
moro than they can sell the same articles
for ln the unprotected markets Of the
world, II ia no longer projections but
pure, simple, naked lplundcr Mr.
President, it may be- that the people OF
