THE GREAT TAX GATHERER.

The workings and results OF the tariff
we're eloquently summarized in a recent
discussion by Congressman Snow, of
Illinois. After an elaborate %presenta-
ton of facts and figures to justify his
argument he said:
In conclusion, Mr.. Chairman, this war
tariff is a tax eatherer that stands ever at
your side demanding his share of the pro-
Deeds of the farmers labor. of the miners
toll, of the sailo;'s danger. You can not
avoid him. Closer than a shadow he fol-
lows you. your wife or child to the mer-
chants counter. The shadow may leave
you ms you enter the door. But this silent.
grasping, terrible tax thug is ever with you,
holding out his itching palm and never
failing to collect. You may reap or SOW,
pray, but he Is there, silent bat inexorable,
you may wander oE the plains. delve in the
bowels of the earth, climb the snowy noun
talns or search the frozen north as far as
the limits of your country extend. but he IL
still there, still silent, still memorable.
Weary of being forever haunted. you
may seek the friendly auietude Of the
grave; but he is still there. perched upon
you coffin, demanding his tax upon ths
pick and mattock of the grave digger. the
rope and gloves and hearse of the under
taker and the paper upon which your last
Will L testament 10 written, and always
getting it. He stands beside the robed
priest and taxes his v%ssture. his prayer book
and bible. He stands, like n shadow from
hell, beside the agou,zsd widow a taxes
her very weeds of woe, the veil of sorrow
over her swimming eyes, the bonnet upon
her bowed head, the shoes on her feet and
the tear-atainsd handkerchief in her trem-
bling hand. He lays his sacrileQious hand
upon the sobbing child, hissea his hot
breath into her startled ear. and says: "A
tax of A5 per cent on the doll that comforts
aud p per cent on the blsck-bordered letter
to your absent brother; but tears, Rroana
anl anguish are IN the free list
This characterization is not too strong.
The tariff reaches in every direction
and taxes all but the bnrons. Out here
iii Montana we are forced to pay tribute
to eastern manufactures on the clothing
we wear, the machinery used, and, az
Congressman Snow says, for everything
imported into the state. The farmers
in the western and southern states are
in the same situation, but, what is
worse, they are forced to sell their pro.
ducts at English prices.
In this great onslaught against the
war tariff people are massing together
for the final overthrow IN November
and they will succeed.
