Honest voters turn to the demo-
cratic party for leadership in the
fight against the tariff and the
trusts. They have taken up the
issue forced upon them by the
republican party. Conslstent de-

7HE great prosperity of the
country rebounds most to the bone
fit of trust propristors, she manu-
factors who are combined in trusts
with tariff which gives them vast
profits on their products and to
corporations transacting business
in violation Of the national aad
state antitrust laws. The pros
psrity is abundant, but it is con-
fasd to few. 1hs great mass Of
the people of the country live on
stated wages. All the money cara
Cd by the vast majority comes 70
them as wages or salaries, which
cannot be advanced as the cost OF
of living increases day by day. The
result is obvious. The man living
on salary or wages fiads his daily
expenses for himself aud family
much greater than formerly, while
his wages or salary remains about
the same. The men living on fixed
wages-and they compose nine
tenths of the male population
have no share in the national pros
perity. On the contrary, they are
worse off relatively than they were
before the tidal wave Of prosperity
swept over the country. The cost
Of living-the daily expenses OF
live in every homa-can be stated
at an average Of rs per cent moro
than the cost before the prosperity
arrived. Every householder can
estimate for himself the prosper
ity he has gathered. There arc few
neoessa ries of life that have not
advanced at least l0 per cent in
cost within the past two years.
Many Of the necessaries have ad-
vaneed 40 or so per cent in cost.
Some necessaries have advanced
from 20 to 80 per cant. The aver
age is at least Is per cent.

OVER PRODUCTION can be easily
traced as the prime cause of the
general inequality of conditions
in the various avenues Of life.
There is an over production Of
palaces and novels and not enough
homes. There is an over-produe
ton of millionaires and paupers
and not enough manhood. There
is an overproduction of luxury
and not enough comforts. There
is an overproduction of political
fools and not enough thinking

A POLITICAL CRISIS.

A POLITICAL CRISIS.
There are evidently strenuous
times ahead for the president of
the United States. That official
has been challenged by his party
friends in the national house Of
representatives, and with their aid
his expressed wishes have been re-
pudiated by the majority of that
body. Now a corresponding stu
alton evidently oonfronts him in
the senate. The message just
transmitted to congress on the
subject of reciprosity is the result
of this situation.
A large proportion ofiatelligent
readers of current public affairs
have failed to keep IN touch with
the situation which has been call
ed into existence through the de-
mand for reciprocity with Cuba
and hence the merits and dement's
Of the prevailing discussion are
not as widely understood as they
should be. Stated in brief the stu.
alton is this: Some weeks age q
body, claiming to represent the in
telligsnt sentiment of the Cuban
people, asked that the United
States should reduce prevailing
sugar duties so per cent With re-
ference to the importation of Cab
an sugar through the adoption Of
q plan of reciprocity, whieh vas
stated in outline. This reqasst re-
ceived the concurrence of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Who sent a special
message to congress recommending
that reciprocal arrangements be
entered into. In pursuance of the
Recommendation the ways and
means committee of the house re-
ported, only after yielding to the
pressure from the White House, a
measure which provided for q
twenty per cent reduction. 9hs
measure was beaten by coalition
between the democrats and the in
surgents, and, afterwards, by re-
publican votes, the house passed
the measure now before the senate
providing for rebate of the duties
on Cuban sugar imports to the s1-
tent of twenty per cent.
The issue could not be palmer
between the president and con-
gress. Roosevelt is entitled to the
credit Of facing squarely critical
situation in his own political ca
reer. There can be no avoidance
and no evasion. The republican
majority in both houses must sus-
tain the president or throw him
down. If he is thrown down, the
conclusion is inevitable that he is
at war with the most powerful
influences in his party, AID that
war will inevitably be carried into
the next republican national con-
vention in opposition to his claims
to succeed himself.
The demand for some revision
Of the existing tariff Is as insistsnt
today as it has been at any time
since the enormities of the entire
system Of government bountiss for
the sustainment of the trusts be-
gan to break with true force on
the Intelligence Of the country.
With wise and united democratic
councils at this juneture the day
of the restoration of the democra-
cy to power in national affairs is
already at hand.
