pxerss ON the free list, with President
Txss cutting every possible corner off
gQxEnment expense, and the margin
n<essusn receipts and expenditures
aAauzss too large, it is pertinent to ask
Hww much farther a reduction OF du-
txs# ar additions to the free list can
tss nsde, without issuing bonds to pay
vzrusang- expenses, as President Cleve-
xzzK did when the Wilson-Gorman
eGsmGeEatic tariff law was in opera
ssans The two schedules that re-
e3s5xAz the most criticism are the
wsnssen and cotton schedules. Do the
fasy4Slicans of Michigan want TO put

tzxsRfs have proven wise and brought

The Capital has often stated that
