Congressman Goldsborough. The
first speaker, stated that he always
ielt AT home in Cambridge for two
reasons, the first because his mothef
vas born and raised near Cambridge
and secondly because the people o.
Dorchester county and cambridge
had been SO good to him that he
knew they were his friends. Mr.
Ioldsborough devoted the main por-
ZION of his address to the new Tariff
bill which he stated was the highest
that has ever been passed in the his
tory Of this county and which was SO
ubiquitous in its provisions that many
Republican members and many Re
publican papers had denounced 1t
far and wide. The WAYS and Means
Committee of the House, which
framed the bill was composed OF
eighteen Republicans and eight Dem
ocrats and of these eighteen Repub-
lican twelve were multI-mllllonalres
so that a bill written by these gen
tlemen represented not the wage
earners. not the great majority OF
those engaged in business but on
~ the millionaire class who sought
20 wiring every dollar of profits they
could from the toilers of the coun-
try. The cotton schedules of this
bill alone will cost a total of $50 mil
lions of dallars. or $3.50 for every
family in the country. The sugar
schedule will collect 2 cents on every
pound OF sugar used and the bulk oil
this vast sum will not go to the gov
erment but INTO the pockets of the
sugar trust. The wool schedule in
the measure will cost the American
public 655 millions of dollars; the
clothing schedule will cost GIL mil
lions, the sugar schedule 5S7 mil
lion. the silk schedule 1872 million.
in other words the people of Dor
chester county, as the result of this
Republican tariff bill, will pay on an
average OF more than $500 per fam
lily than they should pay for the cost
OF actual necessities of life.
