furs fur skins, fertilizers fruits, nuts Spices ETC.

all or not in sufficient quantity to supply our

If the Democrats ever really carry out their
pledge of Tariff for revenue only, they will be
compelled to tax some Of these necessities, such
as coffee tea, etc England and other countries
which have Free Trade approach to it have
found it necessary to do so, even in addition to
the death taxes" income taxes and other forms of
taxation. The Republican policy has been to raise
revenue without taxing those things which do
not produce, but must have, and by taxing the
things we do produce in order to protect the Amer

cheaper labor abroad. Under this policy there has

Just slash and cut away,
Said Democratic Congressman
"Tis rob'ry, you say;
So start to slashng right and left,
And up and down the line;
Reduce this Tariff on all goods,
Or course-eXcepting mine.
My people thoroughly believe
Protection is fake.
Excepting that which is upon
Some articles they make.
So go for all the other goods
And cut them to the bone
But as for my home industries
They must be let alone

The Sons of Greed Wen tame,

To let things stand the same.

And keep It up on mine"
