SPEAKER CRISP has evidenced his
%friendliness to free silver coinage by APP
pointing Bland, the Missouri champion
of silver, chairman of the committee on
coinage. The appointment of Bartine of
Nevada, another stalwart friend of the
white metal, is added testimony that
Crisp is with the west in it's war against
gold bugs. Crisp is all right, Bland is
all right, the coinage committee is all
right, and now what has our growing,
snarling, kicking republican contempt
raries in Montana got to say about it?

SPEAKER CRISP is a gentleman of very
equable temper and never gets in a pas
sion. This is evidenced by the fact that
the publication of bogus interviews with
himself provokes nothing more than a
smile upon his pleasing countenance. A
man who can thus stand of the army Of
Washington newspaper liars can stand
the fire of a score of pctulent house
members who all want to be recognized
or to speak at once without a frown or
showing the whites of his eyes. Crisp
will make Gear Reed very, very weary
if that gentleman get too fresh during
this term Of congress.

about it: II came away utterly in the
dark as to his intentions IN allowing or

that circumstances were of such a char
acter that Mr.. Blaine himself did not

THE TARIFF Il TAX.

The chief reason why the internal
revenue tax was retained was because
there is a large number of American pco-
pie who believe that taxes on whisky and
tobacco are q sort of castigation deserved
by those who use them. That the in
ternal reyenue tax is. and always has
been, a tax, there has been no doubt. and
the sentiment of the nation WAS almost
unanimous in favor of its removal from
g cry article excepting spirituous liquors
and tobacco.
The above is from the San Francisco
Chronicle. The admission is here made
that the users of whisky and tobacco pay
q tax las Il sort of castigatlon." The adj
mission is also made that the internal
revenue tax is, and always has been. a
tax. These admissions are made notice
able by the fac that the credulous AMI
unthinking are made TO believe, or
rather it is sought to make them believe,
that the tariff is not Il tax upon the con
sumer of the fairfield article, but
that the importer reaches his hand in his
pocket and pays the duty upon his goods
and the consume gets the articles with
out r%eembursing the importer. We say
that protectionists seek to make men be
lieve this. But at the same time they
admit that the consumer pays the tax or
tariff on whisky and tobacco because the
tax is added to the first cost of the arti-
cles and charged up to the consumer.
Now if this be SO IN the case of
whisky and tobacco it is also true of
clothing of all kinds, tinware, and crock
cry and every other fairfield article con
sumed by the people of the country.
Tho importer of wooden cloths adds the
tariff or tax, which he must pay for the
privilege of selling his cloths in an
American market, to their first cost.
When the consume or last purchaser
buys the article he pays all that it has
cost his merchant with profits added.
lie is placed in just the same position
that the last purchaser or consumer of
whisky and tobacco is placcd-.h he pays
the tax. Take any other fairfield article
and place it on the merchants counter
beside IL plug of tobacco and ii bottle of
whisky. All are fairfield or taxed. A
purchaser takes all three articles. Does
any sane man believe that he gets the
fairfield article minus the duty paid upon
it and the others plus the tax: Not one.
The onsum pays the tariff upon the
mi and the revenue tax upon the other
when he hands over his money for them.
revenue tax is a taxa tax which the
consumer must pay.
