At the end of two years the bounty on wheat could be reduced to 15 cents a bushel and the average duty on goods to 30 per of the present Two years after that the bounty could be made 10 cents and the duty 25 per the bounty always to remain at one-half the average duty on manufactured This petition is extremely and indicates how the principles of tariff reform are growing in popularity in the Ohio wheat district in by the Columbus is A Corry About Bro's well known men of j ti e wholesale ol Francis at and have succeeded in building up i a The first of March uf their in- terest in the Speaking of the change new firm is composed of T.
