A Bill, of Aboninations.

The tariff bill, as i. passed the SEN
ate, is estimated to carry with it an
average duty Of 81 per cent on cuti.
able imports. This is 4 per cent
greater that was imposed by the
Mckinley bill, aud IA per cent.
greater than was imposed by the
Wilson bill.
Senator Teller, republican and
protectionist. refused to support the
bill on the ground Of its monopolistic
features Senator McEnery. demo-
crat from Louisiana. supported the
bill Some popnlists and free silver
republicans in the west voted against
it. But, in the main, it was voted
for and against as party measure.
The bill,put q Tax of two cents q
pound on sugar. which was on the
free list, that will inevitably make the
cost of living higher for every poor
family in the union. It may proper
" be termed bill of denominations,
or a bill in favor o. trusts and monop-
