The Infamous Tax

Wilmington (N C) Messe -ger CThe tin plate tax in the radical scheme of plunder is au infamy. It is proposed to increase it ; It is without semblance ot justification, and for the following reasons: Eirst, everybody uses tin plate in some way. Second, no plate is made in the United States. Third, the tax paid by home users amouts to 16,000,000 a year now. Fourth, the increase of ta‘J proposed will

make the annual tax $14,000,000. Fifth, this tax and increase of burden is sorely for the benefit of a set of sLarpers and robbers infesto ing the lobbies in Washington. r T?hey do not make any tin plate, rUAikey will doit if the Congress sheßdare to put this great tax uoon the universal consumers. Nqw every householder, every farmer, every canning manufacturer, everybody who eats canned goods or uses cans, etc., is indeed a very great outrage that is sought to be fastened upon the people by a set of devourers and blood suckers. The first city 10 protest is Philadelphia, in tli highly protected state of Pennsylvania. Why buy a cheap made over-all when you can buy C. B. Cones’, best made in the world, at same price as cheap ones. Chicago Bargain Store-
