Where the War Tariff Pinches.

• We boast of striking the fetters off from 4,000,000 slaves, while this is the condition of 8,000,000 farmers and 4,000,000 mechanics and laborers. We talk about high wages, when half of those wages are confiscated to sordid avarice, and no equivalent return is permitted. It is time we stopped bragging about prosperity and took steps to seoare to industry the crust it has evened.— Milwaukee Journal.
