FORDNEY PATRIOTIC
AND STATESMANLIKE

The American Economiss says edi-
torially:
Democrats are like to be at their
very wits ends in providing sources of
revenue in order that the government
may raise eight billions of dollars by
taxes on this years business. Evil
IDENTIFY, though, they had determined
that not an additional cent should he
raised in the easiest of all revenue
raising ways-through the Tariff.
Maybe they will stand firm in oppos-
ing any increases in Tariff duties, es-
pecially if advised so to do by the Adj
ministration.
The Administration will be extreme
ly unwise, in respect to pure states
manship, in refusing to impose any
additional taxes on imports from for
TIMES SIX C
eign countries, in order to increase
the revenue. To stand before the peo-
pie during a political campaign and
say to them that every resource pos
sible to extract taxes from them-the
American people-must be worked to
the limit, but that nothing must be
done to compel foreigners seeking to
enter our markets with their COMPETE
tive products to contribute additional
revenue, may be courageous but it
will not be wise nor statesmanlike.
These figures, used by Representa-
tive Fordney, should be most carefully
studied by the American people. They
are reliable and accurate. Read them
thoughfully:
The Payne law in the last year of
its operation yielded $33,00O,000 in
revenue on imports Of 1882, 00O, 900.

His Excuse.
One Camp Custer rookie claimed he
should have a deferred classification
and to substantiate his allegation re-
ferred to Deuteronomy 24-5:
"When a man hath taken new wife
he shall not go to war, neither shall he
be charged with any business, but he
shall be free at home for one year and
shall cheer up his wife which he has
taken"
"Well," said one of the army clerks
after sizing up the bird making the
claim, II guess she would need cheer
ing up If she picked off that lemon"
