-t 1 t Protect American Labor and Business 1 stand for -the protection of American industries by the placing in effect of a scientific tariff which j will protect American working men, maintain the t high standard of wages, which formerly prevailed in America and at the same time give a Jair profit \ to the American manufacturer. I do not brtteve f in a policy which requires tlie imposition of a war j tax of 8100,000,000 in time of peace, which tax to } a great extent has been made necessary because of ^ the great decrease in our tairff income. It seems better to me to have the f reign importer

contribute to the deficit in running our' government, rather than we being compelled by this additional tax burden to make it up ourselves. (This advertisement paid for by John Estell Evans.

Instead of 45 cents on the $100 of valuation as ^ last year, it is 40 cents this year. The indications are that the Board will re- ■ organize on January 1st next with lit- ^ tie change in membership as there seems to be a disposition to . retain the services of those who are ex- ' pcricnced in the eouny- business.
