A TARIFF FOR DEFICIT.
Hon. Eli Perkins Criticises the
New York Sun.
PROSPERITY THAT RUNS US IN DEBT

About $500, 10000 In Three Years Is
Not So Good rs the Randall Tariff For
Revenue of the Last 80 Years, Which
Trebled the Value of Property and Re-
duced National Debt So, ,OOO, 100000
want to expostulate against the polit-
ical course of The Sun. The Sun is
Democratic paper, but it is not standing
up for the Wilson tariff for deficit bill
like our noble Republican Times, our
strictly independent Herald, and our
always sure-fire World.
While the tariff for deficit papers
pride themselves on our increased inn
portations of foreign goods, The Sun
says, thoughtfully perhaps, it were bet
ter to make these things at home.
When the patriotic World boasts that
the tariff for deficit has let in cheap
labor goods from Germany and reduced
calicos cent a yard, The Sun says that
this Wilson tariff for deficit bill has in
creased the national IAbt $500, 900, 900
in three years, and Rho is going to
pay it?
When the smooth tariff for deficit
papers talk about cheaper kid gloves and
Havana cigars and champagne, The
Sun says that $500, 100000 deficit in
three years means that every man,
woman or child who reads newspaper
will have to pay $4.30l later on.
When the truthful free trade papers
say wages have been raised 10 per cent
just as Cleveland goes out, The Sun
sighs and says: But they dropped 90
per cent just before Cleveland came in;
and, maybe, the shrewd people are dis
counting the good Randall times year
ahead as they discounted the bad tariff
for deficit times in 1892.
When the hopeful World and Herald
says we are capturing the European
markets, the rigid Sun says: Yes, but
when we ship knife or piece of pot
terry to Europe we will have to have their
low wages less the freight; and when
we lower our tariff and wages so as to
sell few million dollars worth of traps
to Europe, we will have to throw open
our S11 900, 600, 900 home markets to the
starving laborer ON the other side. We
will throw away $11 200, 900, 900 for a
bare chance to sell $500, 100000
When the tariff for deficit papers talk
about free trade prosperity, the thought
full Sun says the prosperity that runs us
in debt 100000, ,000in three years is not
so good as the Randall tariff for revenue
prosperity of the last 30 years, which
trebled the value of property in the re-
public during that time, paid all running
expenses, and paid off $4,000, 900, 600 of
the national debt
When the tariff for deficit papers say
prosperity is coming in '95, The Sun
says that darkness and death have been
with us since '92. The people discounted
coming poverty, bankruptcy, silent
Wheels low wages, and $500, 900, 900
deficit i'll 81, and now they are discount
ing new tariff for revenue which will
bring the prosperity of 1890 back again
in 1896.
| When the tariff for deficit papers say
we are more prosperous than in 1894,
The Sun says 1893 and 1894 were not
good old Randall tariff times. We were
sick unto death in '93 and '94 with your
tariff for deficit, but a year ahead. in
1896, we see the good old Randall tariff
for revenue again. Now we see our
wages go back to 81, see our $11 ,O0O,-
600, 900 home market protected and then
see the 100000, 900 deficit paid off and
the republic prosperous again.
wish The Sun would stop thinking
and stop saying these things and come
out square for Grover and his noble
tariff for deficit, which makes us buy
goods in Europe, runs us in debt and
cuts wages or stops our wheels l do
wish so.
