A fair oalculatlon of the incieases ia prices to consumer3 causeil by the iipv tarifl law Is about %oM5 per year p,r famüy. That U to say, if the additional cost of articles in the tarifl schedules, resultant from increased dutie?, were spread over the cutiré populatioti evenly, it mi'jld amoxinl to that sum. On tlie most liberal estímate t could not amoiint to so lunch as $4. Hut the nciv tariff puts articles on the free-list wliicb last year were importe 1 to the amount of $365,000,000, and on which the people p:iid $85,000,000 In purely revenue taxes. The abolition of the sugar dulies alone will save nearly $5 per year to every family. la other words the remissiou of the sugnr tax more than oflsets the eutire increado in prices caused by the new law. Hut i u practica the law will opérate In thisway: The taxes it lias rumitted did actually fall on every family, and therefort by their remission every family profils; while the new taxes t itnposes will fall entirely upon the iMalthier classes, for they are taxes on fine goeds anil, thcrefore only those will be ealled upon to pay who can well afftrd to do it. It was the enterprise of our fellow townsman J. T. Jacobs, that effected the building of the ï. A. A.. & N. M. R. R. and that bas meant from 5c to 10o peí bushei on nearly every busliel of graii any farmer in this countj' bas had to sell Why ? Becau8e the road opened lip the Toledo market to them whicli Is the best marke in the entire west, graln always being higlier tbere than anywliere else, and I also gave to them the great buDclit of ; competition in rates. And now the gen tlemen so benefited have a fine opportu nity to ]iay Mr. Jacobs a compliment fo the trouble and expense he went. to a that time to secure those great benelils. Thcre is a concerted action all over the country by the Democratie Congressiona Commiitee to secure the defeat of all the soldier candidates on the republican ticket. They have the audacity to at tempt tbis ty the soldiers themselves henee hired deputies in their interest arn busy sowiug seeds of dlscord. The soldiers are beginning to catch on to tht sclieme and are decllning to allow themselves to be thus used.
