on the tax. The people have stood thu
tariff long enough W lere itbreeds trust
The tariff is not alone the remedy. In
deed we might take off tariffs and hell
the Trusts.
England has no salt tariff but sh'
has a salt trust. That is why the inter
national salt trust can be formed. The
American and British salt trust simply
loin hands across the water and put the
screws onto the people on 10th sides
Let the people wake up, Let RepubIi-
can politicians quit iooling with the
breeder of anarchy. When you run q
millionaire factory out of the common
necessities OF the millions it is time for
all who are not in the pool to howl and
kick and fight the battle to a finish
The government must either go into the
salt trCst business or it muat put the
salt trust out of business. The trusts
are growing bigger than the government
because the government has laid still
and done nothing. 1t has not exercised
its powers over them. The government
of the "peeps" can smash them when II
starts in, and it better be getting move
on. The way to stop anarchy in this
country is to weed out the mushroom
fifty-million fellows, who will prove the
wholesale manufacturers Of anarchy and
general disloyalty unless their skin
games are knocked in the head. They
are not even capitalists. They are bun.
co.men, skingame promoters, and the
destructive policy of taxing them out Of
existence is the only remedy unless you
want the government to 20 into the
trust business itself. To tax trusts for
revenue would be to go into partnership
with them. That would strengthen
them just.as it strengthens any great in.
iquity for the government to get back OF
it. They must be taxed TO death, taxed
out of existence, taxed out of the
conntry, stop breeding plutocrsts, stop
multiplying millionaires, do it deliber-
ately do it legally, do it with calm
forethought, but do it as Coolly and
effectually asyou would stamp to death
viper that threatened TO bite your
children. Honest citizens who love our
free in Institutions must awake and face
this issue brought into prominence by
the International Saltlick or they will
be licking the shoes Of the Lords and
Arstocrats of the Money Power before
another generation comes onto the stage
of action. This is not Populism, or
Partyism of any kind. 1t is the judE.
ment OF thinking men Of all parties, and
the American people are going TO move
in a body as they never moved before
and they are not going to be diverted by
any party claptrap from any source
whatever, They are going to lick the
siltlick off the face OF the earth, Free
institutions will have to go or it will
have to go, and it better be 1T.
A Salem store advertises that it's man
agement has changed and that hereafter
ladies from Salem, and it is presumed
the same applies to ladies from other
places, may 20 there with perfect assur-
ance that they will receive the most po-
lite, civil and considerate treatment.
They are furthermore asked to remem-
ber the place. The assurance of polite
and civil treatment in future is such
novelty that is has attracted every
body's attention. People did not be-
fore know there was place OF bust.
ness whore ladies were subjected TO in
civilities and are naturally anxious
to avoid being kicked or jost-
led when they come 10 the
Capital City to spend their money. AZ
rule all Salem places of business are
conducted by the most perfect ladies and
gentlemen, and II any other style Of
treatment is adopted to draw trade it
will be found to have been some one not
really worthy of the name of Salem
business man or woman. The people of
Oregon are not accustomed to such an
nouncements, and it is, strictly speaking,
one of the imported novelties of the
season. II would be- interesting to know,
however, who was insulted in a Salem
store, and who did the insulting, and
who runs that kind OF stores.
