FREE LIST.
The reader will notice that many
luXurIes and articles used only b1
the rich which, according to Demo
cratic doctrine, ought to have tn,
highest tariff on them, pay less take
, under the Wilson bill than under tn
| Mckinley bill. Now the things pu
on the free list are as striking. W
give the following as sample:
Bacon and hams, beef, muttoI
and pork, cabbages, tallow, cottoI
seed, peas, &c. These are thing
raised by the farmers. Why no
raise some revenue by putting 10,
tariff on these articles and giving tn
farmer as well as the manufactur
the benefit of the ''incidental pro
lection :" On the free list are ais
such luXuries as fine oil painting
Meerschaum pipes, silk worms, ,musl
&c, which ought certainly to pay
part of the tariff tax. On the FIRE
list We also see b!adder5. cat gu
old rags, junk, .Jalap, moss, st
weeds, sauerkraut, &c. Who wi
1 rejoice over this is more than "
: know.
The free list also includes near
J all the raw materials used by tt
: manufacturers, such as wool, iron or
lumber, hides, coal, &c. They are, I
doubt, delighted at this, for with tt
IS 30 and 10 per cent. protection whiC
r they get under the Wilson bill tn
0 can now make big profits. The IN;
who produces the raw materials pa
the bulk Of the tariff tax and &c
no incidental protection.
y The government used to own t
t. first mortgage on the Union Paci
t. it now holds the second, or, p'
baps, to be more explicit, holds t
II; bag.
