Tax on Millet Seed.

The tariff bill, with its known
conditions, is bad enough, but near
ly every day some Joker which
slipped through unnoticed, is dis
covered, which makes it evident
that the fullness Of the iniquity of
this Republican measure is not
known.
For instance, it has just been as
certained that millet seed was TAX
en- off the free list and tax of 10
cents a pound, or 5000 a ton plac-
ed on it.
Immense quantities of millet
seed are imported into America ev-
cry year Hundreds of thousands
of pounds are used to manufacture
what is techinally known as little
chick feed which is, as its name
implies. feed for baby chickens.
Many farmers are also sowing
millet for feeding purposes. Every
time they do so they have to pay
Tor that little Joker" that some
tariff tinker was responsible for and
which was able to slip its way
through quietly. owing to the great
er enormities of the Payne-Aldrich-
Cannon-Taft measure covering
it up.
The tariff bills passage was char
acterized by deception and fraud
on part of its trainers and sponsors
from the first, and this little millet
deal. on which the farmers and
poultry raisers will have to pay the
duty, is but an incident in the
game Appeal.
