The tariff comes to the front in
all sorts of ways and at all times,
for it is a pocketbook question,
concerning the whole American
people. The recent extortionate
advance in the price of beef, which
has aroused the EASTERN cities,
has been followed by a demand
for the repeal of the tariff taxes on
that necessity of life. This country
is great exporter of beef. as it is
of breadstuffs., yet to fool the
farmers protective duty was put
on beef as well as on wheat, corn
and potatoes.
