tall and smooth shaven. who has been
trying to swindle butchers and grocers
with bogus checks and forged letters.
Tuesday night he went into the district

carry note to William Winberry's
butcher store on Newark avenue. When

TARIFF ABSURDITIES EXPOSED.

Some Of our Republican contemporar.
les argue the tariff question in the most
jejune manner. Ignoring the past polit-
ical history OF the country, and the fact
that down TO the time when the enor-
nous expenses of our civil war made it
necessary 10 ramify the taxable re-
sources of the country, the entire fed
eral revenue was derived from duties on
imports, these papers argue al if tariff
reform meant an entire abolishment of
the custom house. OF course, state
ments or arguments based upon such
one would think, from the way in
which the Republican papers stick
to this phase of statement, that
there was something to be gained by it.
Whatever party is in power, revenue
must necessarily be raised from duties.
But the question Of degree is what makes
the difference. The Democratic policy
is perfectly defensible. 1t is that raw
materials necessary for manufactures
shall be admitted free, and that the
tariff shall be 80 revised as to protect
American Industries where protection is
needed, and to lay the heaviest duties
on luxuries. The man who argues that
sufficient protection cannot be afforded
to American labor and manufacturers by
collecting only the revenue necessary for
government expenses through the
tariff, forgets that we are in the
habit now of having billion-dol-
lar congresses, and that the public ex-
penditures are increasing every year.
The internal revenue taxes are not
enough to leave the tariff out of consid
Grafton in any scheme of finance that
could possibly be devised. and the Gus
toms duties will always be the main re-
source for raising federal revenue.
There is no difficulty in so adjusting a
tariff reform that the imposition will be
great enough to afford proper protection.
What the great mass of the people, led
by the Democratic party, are OBJ.
jecting to is the vice of the
Mckinley tariff, which discriminates in
favor of class, and taxes money out of
the pockets of the masses to put it into
the Golfers of the favored few. The
longer such policy endures the more
difficult will it be to get rid of it, for
