On silks the average increase is H per cent. On Woolens tlie average tax proposed is 68.19 per cent. This is almost it per cent high er than the proposed average duties on “luxuries." The llax and jute schedules,.embracing all linens, lino leum, burlap and other ordinary neces sities, are similarly increased. The agricultural schedules are increased lies cent- The“8undiies" schedule is so contrived that its total shows a decrease of .3£! per cent., hut the tables shows that the tax on many impor tant itenws in the list is raised. Thus is the cost of living increased. Thus is the tariff revised upward in the interest of tlie trusts instead of downward In the Uiterets of the con sumers. Thus are the pledges of the Republican party and of its candidate for president flouted when the time comes to make good. . Wanted• A young ruan from the country who is willing to WORK.
