The most significant utterance In the
tariff debate so far was that of Senator
Mills when he said, al come to speak
for the forgotten man-the taxpayer
from whose labor and sweat this vast
fund Is to be wrung by legislative ra-
pine for distribution among favored
beneficiaries.
1t is high time some one interrupted
the tariff grabbers to call attention to
1.-THE forgotten man THE taxpayer, at
whose pockets the tariff barons are so
eagerly struggling to get, says the st.
| Louis Post Dispatch. The forgotten
man" is grimly looking on, conscious
that he will have to furnish every dol
| lar demanded by these un-Amerlcan
vampires to add to their ill-gotten
| boards.
But tariff plunderers and their agents
| 10 the senate will do well to bear in
| mind that 1.-The forgotten man" Is not
dead or helpless simply because he is
| forgotten. He has been extremely pa
tIent under the burdens heaped upon
him for the benefit of others, but there
Is a limit to his patience. He was very
patient in France during the first two
thirds of the eighteenth century
When at last he decided that patienc'
had ceased to be a virtue, the throne
crumbled, the mobiles were sent int
exile, church property was ''sequester
ed for the benefit of the communit.
and the cutters around the Palace de Il
Concorde ran with blood. The forgot
ten man" had asserted himself.
In all ages the man who is so apt 1t
, be forgotten when taxes are being i'm
posed is very dangerous man when b
concludes that the time has come
, force himself into recognition by tn
powers that be.

Warming TO Gald Seekers,

San Francisco, July 19.-Joseph La
due. the owner of the town site of Daw-
SOP C,tv. Alaska, the nearest town to
the h endyke region, started yesterday
for his home in Plattsburg, y Y. Be
sides owning the town site of Dawson
City, where land is already selling for
50 600 a lot, Mr. L idue brought with
him enough gold dust to keep him IN
comfort for some time to come Mr..
Ladue stated to a reporter that there was
no doubt of the richness of the gold dug
gings in the klendyke region. He
thinks there is enough gold IN the
ground to keep all the miners who can
work busy for the next 20 years. Mr..
Lsdue, however, issues timely warning
to the thousands who are preparing to
rush to the gold fields this year. He
says:
There are at present about 8, 500 peo-
pie in the country, and that number Is
about all that can he accommodated this
winter. Provisions are high. as IL costs
10 to 10 cents a pound to land goods al
Dawson City, and it is impossible to get
more provisions in this year than will
supply the present population. If min
they take with them their own supplies,
they will suffer great hardships | ad
wise everyone going to take supplies suf-
ticient to last at least IS months. The
fare to Dawson City from San Francisco
is $50, and it will cost at least $500 tC
transport supplies for one man. The
steamer Excelsior will leave here fol
Alaska on July % and already all hel
passenger accommodations are engaged
This will be her last trip this year. The
Excelsior goes to St. Michaels, at the
mouth of the Yukon, and passenger:
and freight are transferred to river
steamer and carried 1000 miles to Daw
son City. Overland the route is abOu
800 miles from Janeau." Mr.. Lsdue
advises people to wait until next spring
before going up.

TIz friends of Speaker Reed, says the
Ha r!sburg Patriot, jubiIantly announce
that this great champion of the people
and enemy of trusts and corporations
aud purchasers of legislation has won
great victory for the people and against
most graspiug corporation. Mr. Reed
mas forced the senate to accept the house
sugar schedule
Ii Is indeed a great victory, worthy OF
,he noweress of this great statesman
The sugar schedule as 1t left the house
gave the sugar trust only what 1t wanted.
rhe senate. when it took the measure,
found in it great opportunity for specu-
Iation and Immediately began to ma
nipuIate the house figures for private
profit. The,profit was secured, and as a
matter of course the imposts provided by
the senate before final passage of the
bill could not be departed from on final
passage. The bill passed the senate con
tanning the speculative tariff figures.
The senate conferees complained that
Reed prevented the house conferees from
agreeing to the senate imposts. If the
senate had been honest in its tariff max
ing t would have adhered to its amend
ments and thrown the Onus of delay of
agreement upon Reed. Instead, they
abandoned their amendments after only
a short delay. This creates the Impres-
sion that the house is jealous OF the
rights of the people, will not permit
| them to be robbed and, by the patriot
ism of the house and the accommoda
ton of the senate the sugar trust Is de-
prived of everything except the smallest
possible protection.
1t looks like well understood and a
well played game. The sugar trust Will
get as much protection as 1t wants, and
the stern virtue of Tom Reed in defeat
| ing the senate amendments calculates
upon hiding the iniquities of the bouse
sugar schedule But they are there
| 1t is great victory for Reed, indeed.
