compare the tax on the n~ccessaries of
life proposed in the Wilson Bill with
the duty levied on the same articles
under the existing Mckinley law, and
then judge whether or not the Demo-
cratic party is true to it's Tariff Re-
form Pledges" We select a dozen ar
ticlcs necessary to the life and happi-
ness of every farmer, which shows Il
remarkable difference in the ad vaIo-
rum per centum of the two bills:
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1894-05-25

Under the Mckinley bill, the aver
age tax Is 20 per cent. Under the
Wilson bill the average tax on the
same articles is about 32i per cent; a
of 42a per cent. That means
.forty-two and one half dollars on one
hundred dollars worth Of the above
named articles. Don't you think the
times will tighten up rapidly with
that saving directly into the pockets
OF the people? II it is saved it is lust
