" Say what people will the question of taxation is really of very great impor tance. It will never down And it is as insatiable as the "daughters of the horse leech." It comes and stays with the years, and is forever sucking the very life-blood of the people. The cry i3 from the demagogues, .the trusts. the remorseless monopolies more taxes for the people and more profits for us. The McKinley gang in - the house have not a word for lower taxes, but their one thought is to rob and outrage burden bearers of our country.- They seek to raid the pockets of the people. The McKinley-Dingley devil-trap is set for the toilers and already overbur dened. The new measure is very de fective, very absurd, very indefensi ble. It breeds trusts, it shields wrong, itplunders the people. The minority report showed up some of its excesses and inequalities and diflciences. The oonten'tion of the report was that it was a scheme to protect manufactur ers. and that it was in its details as bad as a bounty system. It said: "We rest our opposition upon the broad principle that congress was in vested with the power of taxation as a means of collecting from each cit izen his fair proportion toward the sup port of the government, and that it is a gross perversion of that sovereign power to employ it as a means of en abling favored classes to levy unjust charges upon the great body of the people. No man, however blind he may1 be, would defend a system. of taxation under which the government first collected the money and afterward distributed it among its favorites." This complaint is well sustained. It is. a . true bill against the robber drag net. The McKinley-Dingley monster is drawn upon a scheme based upon the insistence, that taxation is indeed a blessing, and happy and prosperous are any people who stagger under a daily load of high taxation. If the true road to prosperity is high taxes then what a huge mistake have the fathers made, and what a miserable sham and ab surdity was the opposition to England of the American people in the last cen tury. Says the report: .... "If this opinion is well founded, then . all; the struggles for freedom which .--have revolved around the question of f -taxation have proceeded upon a false theory, and the American colonists, when theyj determined that they would hot submit to taxation, without repre sentation, indulged in a mistaken zeal for liberty. The patriotic resolve of our forefathers not to use goods upon which Great Britain had laid an im port duty was wrong if the argument for protection is right, because accord ins that - arnumant. ttafifc. British im porters were really paying the tax over which the American colonists went to . war." . . -, Some 'years ago a political economist, whose work we read twenty years ago, stated that there were eighty works on s political economy then in the British library, the "Museum," and that all were against protection but"' two. The men who bfest understood the. principles involved were nearly an unit in oppo sition to national prosperity by grind ing taxation. The objection is-well sus tained that a robber tariff fosters trusts, and combines. The experiences of this country, so unfortunate and afflictive, all go to show that this con tention is Just and is true. The report says: - "We believe in the principles of com petition, and we believe that the people of the United States can successfully compete against all other people of the world, and we denounce as a crime against the '.best interests of our people any law which leaves the consumers of this land subject to the exactions of reckless and corrupt combinations formed to destroy competition, and con- ... trol prices." The most detrimental and unjusti fiable feature of the protection bill is that it aims a deadly blow at labor, while the advocates of it put up the same old deluding, false cry heard for the" last thirty years, that it was the labor- ers' friend, and was laid for-his ben efit. The condition of this country and of European nations with a high tariff is a living protest "against the truth of the plea. The majority are inconsis tent and contradictory in that plea of justification they set up. The report of the -minority punctures the bladder and makes it collapse in this wise. It says that "to sav in one breath that the welfare of labor depends upon its wages, and that its wages in turn de pend upon its skill and intelligence, and in the next breath to Say that the very intelligent and highly skilled la borers of this country cannot success fully compete with the ignorant and unskilled laborefirf the old world, fe , equivalent to saying that Skill and in telligence are not of great advantage to the laborers who possess them:" High,' unequal taxation has enriched New England and New York and Penn sylvania, but it has been at the ex pense of the other states.' The agricul tural states have been i the - burden bearers.;" They have been taxed to make rich the lords of the mills. The . wealth, by this process, has been con centrated in a comparatively small sec tion of our country. The profits have nearly -all been gathered there. Mr. McLaurin. of South Carolina, discussed this phase of the question of taxation. He well brought out the inequalities of results because of ' the system. He . sowed that nine states Indiana, lilt nois, Iowa, Nebraska, Louisiana, Mis slssippi, Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina, upon which the i country de pends for the productioh of wheat, corn, and other cereals- meat, dairy products, sugar, cotton, .tobacco, rice, etc., have 486.040. square miles, while nine of the manufacturing states Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mas sachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island New York, New Jersey- and Pennsyl vania have but 168.665 square miles, or about one-third. The population of the agricultural nine is 13,409,669; the pop i ulation of the second, the manufactur group, is 14,507,407. Now look at the monetary result, and behold how protection, enriches at the expense of ""the others. The agricultural nine gained in wealth between 1880 and 1890, $559,4441,974; while the manufacturing nine, with robber protection to help, gained $3.054,762,222, " or more than five ttme as much. New York alone gained In-the ten year more than the fifteen states gained, namely Indiana Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska,, Louisiana, Mississippi. Alabama.XJeorglav Florida, Kentucky, Kansas, Tennessee. North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. And now more robbery, a higher tax still Is asked for by McKlnley and his gang of Dick Turpins. Will the coun try longer submit to such open high way take all you can? . Some of the northern manufactures are to be excepted. Some oppose the proposed - increase. Some of the steel and- iron men In Pennsylvania do not wish the tax increased for them, but wish iron ore o be placed on the free list. There are several companies tak ing this view. Not all of the republican newspapers are defending or advocating the Ding ley robber. , The ; Chicago' Tribune, a leader in the west, does not like it very much. The Philadelphia Ledger, re publican, is for protection but pposes the McKinley-Dingley tax outrage. Even the rabid tariff organ. The New York Tribune, does not exactly approve of all the bill. It opposes "the 'tax on ideas, on arts. on laboratories, etc. Many northern republicans denounce the proposition to tax woolens, partic ularly clothing and blanketsi The Washington correspondent of The New York Dry Goods Economist writes this: i "I am free to say the bUl is far from satisfactory to the woolen manufactur ers. The chief fault is to be found with the raw wool duties, which is so high that our manufacturers will find them. selves sorely embarrassed. It is true the committee has provided compen satory duties hich are probably suffi cient to offset theduties on raw wool, but the difficulty will be, in my opin ion, that the very considerable increase in price which must be-made to caver the additional cost of raw material will have the effect of cutting down con sumption to an extent that will be dis astrous to the manufacturers." But there are some compensations in the rascally - measure of oppression, Sausages are on the free list, and some other precious articles dear to the American appetite . are favored. The bill la rascally in Its sugar duties to which we referred days ago. The New York Dry Goods Chronicle is not en tirely enamored. It says: 'It has many good points; - but the bad - outweigh the good, ana it is to be i hoped when the meas ure comes before the senate for its con sidration that body will call to its aid some tariff expert competent1 to frame & bill based on grounds at least sus ceptible of proper administration." That is bad for thehealth of the bill It is so sick at the start it must pe doctored. A live republican protection 1st is so disturbed over the bill he has written to Senator Cullom "that if the nroDosed rates were to fro into effect it would be impossible for him to op erate his mill. That looks like prohibi tinn. rather than nrotection. and no revenue withal." Republican and pro tectionist as he is, the new manufac furers bill is far too radical for him, and doubtless for many others. That sugar schedule is without Justification. It will tax all users of this now actual household necessity so as to add not less than $22,000,0p0 to the tax already paid. The bill is wrong, is oppressive, is unscientific, is robbery, and it will both throttle commerce and. in some particulars injure manufacturers while oppressing the great mass of tax pay ers. . ?

But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or if you -wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer's Hair Vigor. Assignee's : Sale - V-OF ' ' ".
