enteipiises and build up pmatc foi tunes , on
the lalse plea , now demolished by tlio haul
logic ot facts , that such legislation betters
business and i.iises wages. KOI n long pci led
Uioy have reduced this assumption to mat-
tlco by imposing heav ) taxes on articles
necessary lo ttio processes ol gicat domestic
industries , foi thu bcnclit of special interests
of voiy bnmll relation importance to tlio a- ;
cregato industiial Inteiests ot the whole
country. Tims , for ) ears past , our ttscal
policy has been practically dictated by the
nmnutnctuicrs of pig iron , and the gioweis
ot wool , although the aggregate value of the
an nud product of pl Iron and wool is not
equal to the \nluo ot the annual egg and
poultry ciop of the country , and not to bo
comp.ued with the value ot the annual
ciop ot either ha ) , wheat , coin or cotton.
I'mboldened by louif toleiation the de
mands of these special interests mcieaso in
audacity , as Is show n in recent piopositions
of baninel J. Kandall , theli representative , of
advance duties on tin ulnte liom 1 to 'J ) cents
per pound. 'Ihis aiticlo is used largely tor
preservation by canning ot an excess of our
meat , vegetable , liuit , lisli , oil nnd pioducc ,
widen without such tieatment could nut bo
marketed , but would bo wasted. Kandall
proposes In spite ot an ovei flow ing
tieasury to Ineieaso this tax Irom six
to an agjiegato ot eleven million dollais
and collect it by adding to tlio cost ol pies-
eivatlon ot meat , hsh .nut linit , and decieas-
Ing om expoit mniket accordingly ; the milk

and tlio construction ot eveiy dwelling house
and lailroadcnr In thecouiitiy. All this foi
the bcnclit ot the iron nianuluctiucis and
capitalists in Pennsylvania.
On Iho othei side , tlm piiticlples of the free

amounted to such enormous sums th it a eon-

He Admitted to Iho committee thnt ho sinned

that the contincts can bo can led out earlier

The purchase of supplies for the Indian
seivice Is no light matter , the goods needed
being of such a varied Umiactur that tlm
most experienced buyei cannot brcouio ex-
pen in tlio little details , and as n coiisequnnca
the most careful attention Is required that
the samples and the supplied iu bulk am
