THE TARIFF.

We are told that the Democrats and
certain Of their allies among the in
surgents are going to make the cam
paign on the tariff that they are 60
ing to tear up the ground in their at
tack on the president on that account.
Well, thay must say something. It
might as we'll be the tariff as any
thing else and the old rule applies
here THE less man knows about
a subject the more he can talk about
it, - But there is one bit of advice
which Mr. wayne gives which we
would repeat here. It is this:
4 advise every ultimate consumer
in the country to ask his member of
congress for the comparative state
mont Of the Dingley tariff and the
present law, soon to be published !;
and when any retailer dares to base
his claim for a higher price because
of higher rate of duty, that he show
MIN the law and confound the rascal
who is trying to get his money ny
false pretense.
That is good advice. Get the book
and see for yourself what the differ
ence is in the rate of duty under the
old tariff and the present one that so
much silly bowling is being made
about A shoe dealer was heard the
other day to delcare that the high
price Of shoes was caused by the in
crease Of the tariff rate under the re-
cent Jaw. He hardly knew what to
say when told that the duty was de-
creased go per cent by the Payne-Al
drich law. So it will go in thou
sand other things LaFollette, we are
told, will base his campaign on an
attack on the tariff. Well, he GER
tainly did as little as anybody to help
pass the bill and maybe he feels at
perfect liberty to attack it. 1t is easy
