Taxing the Unemployed.

In discussing the Dingley tariff bill
Governor Pingree, of Michigan, has
this to say of Michigan s Senator Bur
rows and Senator Mark Hanna:
Burrows and Mark Hanna will
hear from the people. The idea of a
lot of millionaire senators passing law
to tax the unemployed and people who
haven't any property That ism t
Republicanism, and it isn't Christ
ianity. The worst crack Christianity
ever received was when President Nc
Kinley signed the tariff bill, with its
tax on sugar and leather.
when a millionaire senator sits
down to meal, says grace and puts
sugar in his coffee, wonder how he
thinks the poor man is going to get
money to pay for his sugar. I said last
fall, wherever I spoke, that it is wrong
to support government by taxing the
people who have no property, and m
willing to repeat it on every corner of
every street in every city in this
country
The Van Buren press., 1897-08-07
Worse Than War Or Mckinley.

The new tariff according to our
Washington dispatches will be worse
than the Mckinley law, as that was a
worse than war tariff.
The war tariff in 1862 averaged about
80 per cent The average Mckinley
duty was about 40 per cent. The
Dingley house bill averaged So per
cent. and the senate bill averaged
nearly "a.
That is to say, thirty five years after
the war tariff was enacted our Infant
industries are to be given protection
more than twenty points higher And
in a revision pledged to moderation
the outrageous Mckinley tariff, twice
condemned by the people, is overtopped
from six to eight points. Not only so,
but nearly two thirds of the duties i'm
posed are practically prohibitive. And
this in measure ostensibly undertaken
to raise revenue to stop the deficit
1t is fortunate for the untaught
Republican Bourbons that there is not
a new congress to elect this year

lean Standpoint.

Hon. H. S. Pingree, Republican
governor of Michigan, wired the fol
lowing message in duplicate to Presi
dent Mckinley, Senator Burrows and
Congressman Corliss and Spaulding, of
Michigan:
81 regard the duty on lumber, hides
and sugar as unrepublican, unpatriotic
and unfair. The lumber now used
goes largely into small homes and farm
houses and to class already greatly
overtaxed The laborer wears twice as
many shoes as the millionaire and must
contribute twice as much for the tax on
hides.
He must use as much sugar and
pay as much toward the duty on sugar
1T is grossly unfair to make the
poor pay as much per capita as the rich
toward the support of the government.
Property and not human stomachs
should be searched. Property is pro
tected by our laws and should pay for
| its protection.

Senators Morgan and Quay viii Visit
the Hawaiian Islands.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, the leading
Democratic member of the foreign
relations committee, will leave Septem-
Der for Hawaii as a representative of
the foreign relations committee, to
make a report on the condition of affairs
in the island. He will report the re-
suit of his Investigation at the regular
session of congress in December.
Senator Quay also is going to Hawaii,
and it is not improbable that the two
senators will make the tripin company
1t is said here that Senator Morgan and
Senator Quay will make separate re-
ports, but as both are classed as annex
ationists it is expected that their reports
will differ only in text. Senator Quay
will be accompanied by a party of
friends and one or more of the members
of Senator Morgan $ family may go
with him.

Terry has the happy faculty of being

from some of its gems, crystallizing
them into such language that their
beauty and simplicity appeal to the
His Forty eight Propositions on the
money question were as widely clrcu-
lated by the national committees and as
greatly sought after by the people as
any document used during the recent
campaign. Senators Jones and Faux
ner considered them among the best.
Congressman Cochran of Missouri,
says. 1t is the greatest document
ever distributed to educate the people.
Hon. J. II. Turner, of the People S
party, is of the same opinion. The
writer used an immense number OF
them during the campaign, and when
the battle for silver is won in 1900 the
judge might forgive the writer if he
assumes the liberty to prophesy that
the Forty eight Propositions will live
in the hearts of the American people as
one of the two edged swords of truth
that cut the shackles which bound the
children of our liberty loving fathers
who founded this American republic.

the people will get an inning.

The advance will probably be in this
ratio: For workingmen 5 heavily soled
shoes, which now sell at 81 %, 40 cents
will be added for women shoes, now
sold at 81, 80 cents more will be
charged, where rs cents will now pur-
chase shoes for child, there will be an
advance of 90 cents, and farmers who
can get their heavy grain leather boots
for s. 90, will have to pay 81 so.

From the Little Rock Democrat
In assaying the individual mental
force Of our statesmen we find Judge
Terry. of Arkansas, deserving a more

his usual Partially in arranging them.
Brundidge, OF Arkansas, was not placed

Little got on two committees. OF
course the arrangement of the com

plants against the new tariff measure
are spreading to nearly every class of
interest throughout the entire country.
Returning tourists at Boston, Phila
delphia and New York complain bitter
ly at being compelled to pay tax on
their personal effects over 800 in
valuation. Several instances are re-
ported of persons going abroad with
extensive wardrobes of American goods
being compelled to pay duty thereon
when they returned.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt paid on
81 600 worth of home made and foreign

The tobacco importers will suffer
heavily. They must lose at least $500,
600 year because section 33 of the new
tariff law deprives them of the right to
pay duty on their tobacco according to
its weight at the time of its withdrawal
from bond. They will virtually pay
duty on the salt water the tobacco has
absorbed during its sea voyage.
Great hardship will surely result
from the increased price of woolens,
boots and shoes. There has already
been a substantial advance in the
former and the Leather Trust has
decided that, under the advanced price
of hides and the duty imposed on the
imported article by the new tariff. it
cannot sell its product at the present

officers believe it is entitled.
