The Republican text book says that
the Republican party mas increased the
wages of American workingmen by
protecting the product of their labor
from competition abroad. That is a
Republican campaign statement. But
let us see how well it grooves in with
the truth. Protecting typewriters
adds $45 to their cost protecting
sewing machines adds from $40 to $40
extra TO their cost. And so with the
carpenters tool box, the bricklayer's
trowels, the blacksmith's kit in short

And not only does 1t make their tools

coal, their bread. everything that Ia
necessary for their well-being and

a, Impotent Party.

For six long years the Republicans
have had control of all branches of
the government. executive, legislative
and judicial During this period the
organization and growth Of the trusts
has been most prolific and their extor-
lions from the public have been enlarg
ed and extended to most Of the neces-
sites OF life. The coal combine and the
beef trust are examples of the growth
of combinations during this period Of
Republican administration.
The opening of this era of Republican
rule was emphasized by the enactment
of the Dingley law. many schedules OF
which were not only intended to pro-
sect the combines, but were actually
prepared by attorneys of the trusts and
therefore were entirely in their inter-
ests. The trust magnates, finding
themselves securely entrenched and
protected, then began a series of great
combinations that staggered the COM
merciaI world and have gradually rails
ed pr.ces of most necessities to the
highest notch ever before known
Naturally the voters began to kick
mt these exactions, and attempts were
made by the Democrats in Congress to
reduce them. The present executive
in his first message to the Congress
recommended publicity as an antidote,
out 10 notice was taken of this recon-
mendation by the Republicans in Con-
gress 1t remained for Democratic
Senator to propose an amendment to
the census bill on the lines of Presi-
dent Rooseveit's recommendation. A
vote was taken and all the Republl-
cans present voted against it and all
the Democrats for it, but it was de-
feated. for the Republicans were in
command of the situation.
The political situation became more
acute, and upon the close Of the first
session of the Fifty-seventh Congress
the President determined to take the
stump and try and stay the tide that
was flowing in favor of controlling
these vast corporations. 1t appears
from his speeches that he has no rem
cdy to offer other than publicity of
q uSlS AAunSsttAAonor uAilCSo diA
ment to the constitution can be had.
hut this would only be available to Il
future generation, and the voters are
clamoring for immediate relief. To
change the constitution requires two
thirds Of Congress to vote to propose il
and three-fOurths of all the States TO
ratify such changes. Clearly this Is
an impossible achievement, if the pres
ent temper of Congress is continued.
besides the further obstacle of all but
onefOurth of the States agreeing to
the same. The corporations control
over 0ne-third OF the Senate YVES stat
ed by Senator Morgan, and :: is doubt
ful If they 10 rot control a greater per
centage OF the present House of Rep
Tesentatives Under these circum-
stances can the Republican party be
relied on to control the trusts? 1t
would seen to be unlikely and imprOb-
able. Granting that President Roose-
welt Is sincere In his frustrating. will
he be able to bring his party to the
same frame of mind?
II Is useless to look for relief from
trust exactlons from Republican
Presi,issit or a Republican Congress.
They are bound to their idols.

A "Good,' Trust.


The Iron Age gives the following IN
teresting item: Prosperity Lodge of
the Amalg&mated Association, COM
posed of employees of the La Belle
works Of the American Tin Plate Com
pany Of Wheeling, ". Va, have voted
in favor Of accepting reduction Of
wages when working on tin plate for
export. A former vote of this lodge
was against this proposition"
The facts in the case are these: The
steel trust has an order from the
Standard Oh trust for 100000 boxes
of tin plate TO be manufactured into
tins to export their oil in. Usually the
Standard Oil trust has bought the tin
plate they use in England, paid the
duty and then obtained a rebate of the
duty paid when they export it again.
The price for the English tin plate Is
$1.30 per box less than the price
charged by the steel trust, but the or
der has been given TO the latter If it
will meet the English price. Hence
the demand on the workmen to accept
% per cent reduction in wages.
Both the trusts make the same profit
as formerly, but the worknen do not
participate in the prosperity of the
trusts; they net only have to accept %
per cent less wages, but it costs them
40 per cent more TO live. The work
man who received So per day will get
$3.50, and If he formerly spest all his
wages to live, he will now have to cut
his expenses down by reducing the
quantity of food and clothes to him
self. his wife and little ones. Great is
prosperity and the tin plate trust.
