which it is selling at IS cents. When
the tax was put on tin plate, and the
tin plate liars We're getting in their
work. there was good deal said about
the tax on the poor mans dinner pail

suffering on account of 1T.

collections from the boys and girls and

and dimes is unnecessary. to say the
least. In fact. it is impossible to teach
