democratic president refused 10 sign

tH-rhe consumption Of sugar 10 salt
In the United States is as seventy-fiye
pounds 10 one. So the democratic
congress taxes sugar and places salt

eB-Speaser Crisp imparts the impor-
tant information that the new tariff
bill twill add to the comfort Of mii-
lions OF our feilow-eitizens.r Mr..
Crisp's assumption is OF the same
cheerful sort that persuades man on

of his Numbering bed-feilow, insist
ing that the latter has too much cover

the desperate activity OF democratic

e8-The people Of the United states
consume sixty-two pounds Of sugar
per capita, which means that on the
total amount consumed In year
under the present tariff law, they will
pay forty million dollars more than
they paid for the same amount under
| the Mckinley law. This Is one OF
those plain and practical North Amer
lean political facts which tho average
citizen can readily comprehend. st.
Louis Globe-D Democrat.
E8-Democrats In isss wore Grape ON
their arms and ROSTERS In their hats
and actually seemed 10 believe they
were the most oppressed people on the
continent They have had several OBJ
ject lessons since that time. A careful
study Of the statistics for 1909 shows
that the entire amount OF duty coll
lected under the Mckinley law In that
grievous year amounted to just se.ee
per capita. Chicago Inter Ocean.

rB-There is a democratic tariff law
in force NOW. Il Is the intention Of
the democrats II they win at the up.
preaching election to pass still more
democratic one by cutting of some
more protection. II this Is done there
will be repetition Of the melancholy
scenes OF the last eighteen months and
further lowering OF wages. It
prophesies also that in the event
OF republican success in 1890 and re-
publican revision OF the present law
raising all the duties which do not
give adequate protection there will be
no panic, but an advance In wages and
increased employment The junior
organ should cut out these prophecies
and paste them In its hat Chicago
