course the Democrats will put Just rate oil
duty on every article now In the free list, but
they will make no new free list out OF articles
that now pay duty. A tariff for revenue only
does not admit Of FREQ list. The now consti-
tutional tariff has to impose about 30 per cent.

by any Of the New York orators in Chicago
last Saturday was that of Col FELLOWS about
the age OF this city. 1t brought to our mind
the thought that New York must figure n. an
OLD place in the imagination Of those o, the

In that OF the other natives Of the newer parts
OF the West. Just as that city OF antiquity. Lon
don. is six or seven times as old az New York.
