TARIFF REVISION.


Let no one doubt that the tariff will be re-
vised. The republican platform declared for
revision, Mr.. Taft has ponderousy announc-
ed that the pledge must be carried out and
Mr.. Cannon has gl;lciOusly consented OF
course it will not be revised in the way that
the creduOus public has been led to expect.
Nothing will be put on the free list. but a
great many articles that now ''unprotect-
ed will be taken care of. No rates will be
lowered, but there will be an increase all
along the line. That's revision. isn't it?
Of course there will be Il shout of fraud
and trickery, Il below of protest from the
Common People who believed that the tariff
should be ''revised by it's friends, - and were
really Of the opinion that the rates would be
reduced. But it is hard to see where they
have gound for complaint. In fact, the less
they say the less foolish will they aDDear.
The republican party is and has been in
control Of the Privileged Glass, which, in
turn is made possible by the protective tariff.

Whereas, At the coming spring cleo

will be taken which will be on local

of Moline and Rock Island shall be
lanti-SaloOn territory; and,
Whereas, Should the said local op-
ton proposition carry, it would mean
the wiping out of existence the Brew

and would also mean the disruption of
the bartenderS' union of Rock Island
and Moline, and would sadly cripple
the cigarmakers' union. as a very large
part of the product of the local cigar
maker is consumed in saloons; ana
would also greatly reduce the number
of union employees in the following
crafts: Coopers, glassolowers, harness
makers, horseshoers, blacksmiths, ma

mentioned. Therefore, be it
