Here i, simple question for tariff IcroImerS.
They propose to take Off all the duties on wool
and all the compensatory duties ON woollcn
goods. and insist that the home manufacture
would be- better off and better able - sustain
itself agains, focign competition than II i now.
Il must be assumed that some C. them honestly

C.lanulatcd sugar al { cents per pound. against
G.7J cents eighteen months ago, means some
thing for the working people. Perhaps n article
could be named which is none universally con
.lmed by the entire American people; certainly
not wheat bread, for in large sections com Is al
most exclusively used instead. The people con-
sumo more than 30 pounds of sugar for every
inhabtant. They have gained by single
change Of duty from - to - 81 for every per-
son from - to So - for every family. Do the
tariff rofCrmclS propose TO put this burden ba * ?

courage 10 suggest such thing. W hat are they

The Treasury Ina, no larger revenue now than
IL requires In fact. INST 81 The iclOrnclS in

Improperly depleted. and that bankruptcy is
ahead unless this Congress carefully reduces eX-
renditurcS. The official reports show but 4

if the sinking fund be di>rcgardcd and If no

The duties on wool during the last fiscal year
amounted to SG.552 2Gs, and with the duties

make free. t. S6.75S. 795. The duties on the
remaining wOolcn goods amounted TO S3i.-
