The Forgotten Man.

Senator Mills characterization of
the taxpayer as "the forgotten man, "
was timely, if not original, in view
of the course of events in the United
States senate. ''The forgotten man.
was again forgotten in the refusal of
the senate to reduce the sugar diff.
terential in the interest of the con-
sumers. The sugar trust, though,
was constantly in mind. It will be
sure ofits 100000 or $40, 100000
bounty as result of the senate's un.
forgetfulness.
The duty on lumber, on wool, on
hides, on sugar, on thousand and
one articles will all bear heavily up
on the forgotten man and pour un,
earned profits, into the laps of the
favored interests, trusts and syndi,
Gates. AS far as realizing any great
amount of revenue from these duties
is concerned, ut will be a forgotten
government as we'll. The proceeds
go into the treasury of private par
ties-the selected class, the cam.
palgn contributors. The protectee
is the remembered man.
The duty on tea and the lncreas-
ed tax on beer and tobacco, If allow.
ed to remain, would provide revenue
for the government. The consumer
would pay it. with the consciousness
that he is contributing to the sup
port of his government and not pay
ing tribute to a tariff beneficiary
But now we are told that it is a part
of the republican program to aban.
don these purely revenue features of
the senate bill to please the bee,
and tobacco lobbyists, and in lieu OF
it intlict q stamp tax upon the bust
ness Of the county.
The forgotten man is the taxpay
er who does not clamor for his share
of the tariff spolls or enforce his
selfish demands in the senate lobby
