the present years taxes upon rail-
roads, street railway telegraph,
telephone and bridge property.
The valuation on railroad and tel
ephone property was increased on
an aggregate s., 900. 900 over that

Company came in for the largest
increase, its taxable valuation be-
ing almost doubled, the increase
being from $lL772,7 27 to $1,000, e.

the railroads of the State are from

So DUTY ON 81 SHAWL.

Rev. j. T. Nevins and Attorney
Grant Barker, of Montgomery coun-
ty, are at home from a trip to Can
ada. While in Winnipeg Mr.. Bark
er bought his wife a wooden shawl,
paying 81 for it. When he reach the
{. S. line he found custom officer
who informed him that the duty on
the shawl was s.. The manufac-
turers can produce the shawl for
the same money in the United States
as in Canada. But our tariff laws
enable the trust wooden mills Of the
United States to make $50 more
profit on the shawl than the Can
adian manufactures gets and still
undersell the merchant across the
line. This explains millionaire trust
magnates on the one hand and the
high price of everything you buy in
the store on the other. II you don't
like it, vote the Democratic ticket.
