But you, madam charged the same price
for them as for the absolutely pure Royal which
is perfectly combined from the most highly rehned

they are thrown together.
Do you wish to pay the price of the Royal

THE TARIFF.

TIE full text of what will be known as the Wilson Tariff Bill was given to the public through the press Tuesday morninp. It is substantially in accord with the democratic idea of reform, and covers the most sweeping reductions made since the war. It is step m the direction of free commerce and compe- tition. to which the principles or de- mocracy are intended to lead, and must lead eventually. The free list IS large ly augmented. Sugar remains tree' and the bounty is repealed oDe-elghth yearly. The boldest innovation or the hill is the large number of additions to the free list of, raw materials, among which is wool and other textile nDres' iron ore, coal, salt and lumber.
 The bill is not all that free traders could desire, but is bomb to protec- tionists. It will be passed substantially as reported Tuesday, the amendments, If any, We hope being ill the direction of lower duties. The measure IS one for revenue. and will reduce duties on q basis of 1892 about $50, 100000.
 Let us hope it will be passed al once, and that the country will receive q benefit. and that other sweeping reduc- tjons may be made before the expira- tjon of Mir. Cleveland's term.
