We Need Relief for the People,
not Tariff Tinkering and
Bond Issuing,

EDITOR HERALD In the last weeks
HERALD, you close your comments on
the topic Financial Legislation" with
the following paragraph:
It is q little difficult to see just how
increased tariffs will give greater rev.
enues and at the same time give more
work to home labor.
That was time when you spoke a
truth which no sophistry such as tar
if advocates use can gainsay. A tar
if for revenue only, (waiving the fact
that taxation by means Of tariff is
wrong intoto), can not keep out for
eign competitors, and only results in
the consumer paying it in the end,
while a protective tariff must be pro-
hibitive tariff, else it is a misnomer
for cannot the foreigner still come in
with his products, and does not Our
experience teach us that all manufact-
urers combine and fix prices, and is it
not fOct that the consumer finally
pays oil tariffs? Further, the history
of the past twenty-five years tells us
Of our most serious labor strikes and
riots, while our "tramp" is purely a
product of the abuse which has been
made of our boasted protective sys-
tenn" coupled with our vicious social
cd, financial legislation.
With such resources as we have in
this country, yet undeveloped; with
such a demand for the bare neces-
saries of life unsstisfed; with such
vast wealth upon which to base sup
Elementary currency; with vast aggre-
cations of capital sapping the life out
Of the nation, and reducing its yeom-
amy to condition which, unchecked,
will finally eliminate IN serfdom, it
would seem that there is plenty Of
room to do work which will be for the
good Of the people, and not spend val
liable time tariff tinkering, and pro-
viding for unlimited issues of bonds
on which posterity will be expected to
pay interest to plutocracy for all time
to come.
A shipper in this city told the writer
Of this only few days ago, that the
new freight rates which become effec-
tive January l, will add one dollar a
head to the cost Of shipping every
head of cattle that is for the marked
in Kansas. Has any one heard that
with this increased price for their SER
vices, the rail roads have increased
the wages nf their men? Does any
one think that the shipper or the
packer will pay this extra cost2 Rath-
er, does not every one know that the
producer tUsU pay lt7 !''
Well, 1t seems that the demand for
government ownership of rail roads
may yet receive more careful consider.
alton at the hands of the people, and,
though the lesson seems hard to be
learned by many, I believe that a
few more such measures will create a
sentiment on that line so strong that
the people, irrespective of party, will
rise up and bring it to pass.
What I say in relation to the rail
road corporations, can be said of all
others, viz; That il is their disposi-
ton to rule-even though they ruin
and it stands the people IN hand to
teach them that they are only creatures
Of, and subject to the same law that
rules common individuals.

TO continue the committee, with the re-
