We know what the Sugar Trust got
and is yet TO get out Of the new tariff,
and we know what several other Of
the host of trusts received for their
support of the Republican ticket in
the last campaign. The Leather Trust
was not behind it's neighbors in secur-
ing bounues while they were being
handed around, and in this schedule.
leather. is brought to view one Of the
most glazing inequalities and injUstices
Of the law. which is full Of them.
1t requires a fine sense OF discrimina-
ton. based on superior knowledge OF
technical details Of tariff legislation, to
see the difference between calfskins and
cattle hides for purposes Of import du-
ties. CalGskins are used in the manu-
facture of boots and shoes. So are
hides. Just why. therefore, a Republic
can Congress should see fit TO impose
a tariff tax Of Is per cent. ad valorem
on hides and place calfSkns on the free
list. an ordinary and plain sense OF
right and justice fails to disclose. Yet
this is what the Dingley-Aldrich law
does.
The secret probably is concealed in
the motives which lie at the very Dos
tom of the niquitous measure. The
American Leather Trust is one of the
numerous concerns which contributed
largely TO the success of the Republican
ticket last fail In the language of the
Chicago Tribune. a Republican organ
that cannot stomach the Dingley bill,
just how much money the Leather
Trust contributed TO the Mckinley
campaign fund, or how much profit it
was promised in return. the trust alone
can tell CerAin it is. however, that

shoes in this country. The poor man,
for whom the trainers Of the bill profess
such thoughtful regard, wears only
that quality of leather in the form of
boots and shoes which. before it has
gone through the hands Of the tanner
and manufacturer, is known as hides

Is per cent. ad valorem for the benefit
Of the American Leather Trust, while
his rich neighbor is not compelled to
pay similar tribute as duty to 'in-
FAINT industries"
But perhaps the Mckinley organs
can show the poor man that he is
fool who knows nothing about the "sci-
ence" of tariff legislation, is densely
ignorant as to technical details Of the
science" and, therefore, must hold his
peace.

BELMONT COUNTY SITUATION.
Miners Preparing to Bring Out Weegee

miners preparing W DEihS Oub
and Belmont Men-BelIaire News.
If the plans of yesterday afternoon
remain unaltered large delegation OF
Franklin miners will march to Wegee
this morning, headed by brass band,
and attempt TO bring the men who
are working in that district into the
general strike. All previous confer
ences with the men have proved Of no
avail. and yesterday afternoon the
miners at Franklin determined on this
mode of action.
Mr.. Gaseoe, who is at the head of
the Belmont county miners, is ar
ranging for a mass meeting which will
take place in Bellaire some day this
week, and will be largely attended by
the strikers of this district. They Will
meet to devise some method to get out
the men employed in the Belmont
mines, who have refused to join the
present movement At the miners
headquarters yesterday provisions
were still pouring in with the same
profusion as Saturday Charles Bam-
ford, Dora Petticord and l.. McGileher,

have collected from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred dollars. Last
night Mr.. Glascoe was undetermined
as to what sort of demonstration
shall be welded in order to bring out
the Belmont miners.

is to be administered for the benefit
Of monopolies and trusts. Government
is supposed to be for the good Of the
governed. not for the purpose Of ex-
acting tribute from 95 per cent. Of the
people for the benefit Of the other .
per cent. Tribute is one thing and
taxation for revenue is quite another.
In the old days of tyranny, when kings
could not collect enough money by
ordinary taxation they sent armies to
levy tribute which they exacted from
the people. There was no indirection
about such a process. When a small
army or a squad quartered themselves
around a castle or a place Of business
and demanded given amount Of
money from the owner in the name of
the government, both parties knew
what it meant. If the owner did not
pay the money he was arrested, thrown
into prison, his estates confscated, or
he was put to death. In these more
modern times, under,the guise of tax
alton. tribute is exacted not for the
government but for the benefit Of
privileged class Of people, and the
masses, by the strong arm Of the gov
eminent, are compelled to pay it, and
in an indirect manner mOnopohes and
trusts are created and fostered by the
government under the sanction Of law,
and all the people are compelled to
pay tribute to these great monopolies
who have absolute control of making
and selling many Of the necessities of
life. Untold millions are thus as
sesSed. Where perhaps 5 per cent.
may go in the name of duties into the
treasury Of the government, 50 per
cent. is collected for the benefit Of the
owners of monopolies and trusts. That
is the way tribute works; that is the
way prohibitive tariff creates mon
oDolies and assists their owners in
gathering tribute from the masses Of
the people.
In the name Of all that is good, why
should the American people be COM
PEELED to pay taxes Is per cent. higher
in these piping times Of peace than
we had to pay while carrying on the
great war Of the rebellion? These
are pertinent questions from terribly
pertinent facts.

The Dingley tariff gives ar average
Of 5466 per cent. and the Wilson tariff
1910 per cent. and the old Mckinley
bin 1859 per cent, according TO the
figures Of the tariff expert C. II.
Evans. The calculation is made on
the basis Of values Of 1895.
The wooden schedule under the VIII
son bin was 1852, under the Dingley
bin it is S654. al. increase of 100 per
cont Earthenware is increased from
50 to 5247 per cent; metals from SSH
to 1924. and sugar from 1904 to 74I6.
The man who wears woolens must pay
about 100 per cent. more tax than ne
paid under the Wilson bin, but it is
not quite fair to state that such an
increase in price is a tax paid 70 the
government. The wooden schedule is
so high that in all lower grades. such
as the masses of the people wear, il is
absolutely prohibitive and therefore
any increase in price goes not TO the
government as a tax but into the
pockets Of the manufacturers as a
subsidy levied by law from the many
Tor the beneht Of the few.
Take the metal schedule. Under the
Wilson bin it was IS. -; it is now I'M
der the Dingley bin 1924 or an aver
age increase Of close to so per cent.
All who eat sugar must pay an in
crease Of from 1924 TO 7Al5. or an in
crease Of close to so per cent on tax.
is it any wonder that the sugar trust
is a friend of the Republican party?
IL is in such schedules that the Re
publican party has oyerleaped itself
A reaction is as sure 90 take place
as the wheels of time are TO roll
round. If the government needed this
revenue. and could collect all of the
increase which the people win pay
there would be no great objection.
When it is well known that the gov
eminent viii not collect one-6fth Of
the increase In prices produced ny

that the people whoI pay the money

In America woman is freer than she

men have been exceedingly good ma
tured in surrendering TO her, without
any fuss, many privileges heretofore
sacred TO masculinity But the aver
age man win not take kindly TO see
ing wom2h drink like a man" that is,
rs men 30 when they are said to drink
like aNsh.
N Louis physician, supporting the

out the country says that the

ID women. BY the drink habit
The habit Of excessive tip
le intemperance that Develops
Epso snia and makes necessary the
restraining attendance CT medical men
and the soldering seclUson of sanitar-
iums. In support of this assertion, he
says further that he now has on his
professional visiting list the cases Of
many women who have grown TO be
excessive drinkers.
This is certainly a startling an
nouncemeut Posterity was previously
enough handicapped by the drinking
habits sulI prevailing among men
the fact Of inherited tendencies being
we'll recognized. But what ghasCly
prospect is that opened by the POSSIBLE
ity Of q generation Of hard-drinkiEg
