HOW aProtcction" Protects.


The Republican text book says that
the Republican party has 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 S45 to their cost, protecting"
sewing machines adds from $40 to $50
extra to their cost. And so with the
carpenters tool box, the bricklayer's
trowels. the blacksmith's kit, in short,
the tools of every workingman's trade.
And not only does it make their tools
cost them more, but their beef, their
coal. their bread, everything that is
necessary for their well-being and
their happiness. They have to wear
shoddy clothing because the tariff
keeps out pure woolen goods. On a
thousand and one articles of every day
consumption the trusts. through ex-
orbitant profits made possible through
the tariff. force the money out of the
consumers pockets with which they
declare big dividends and grow strong
er in their oppression of the people.

The advice of Ralph Bullock. Of Fort

Way to Tariff Revision.

We refer to the earnest consideration
of the Iowa Republicans and Others
the decision of the Republican manag-
ers in Congress not on any account 10
change or revise the present tariff du-
ties. The position of the Iowa Repub-
licans and of Western Republicans gen.
orally has been that since the tariff
protected trusts have become so rapa-
cious the revision of the tariff that pro-
tects them Is an absolute necessity. but
1t should be revised by the Republicans
that framed it, and not by the Demo
Gratis We have now an authoritative
statement that the Republicans will not
revise it at ALL
The Western Republicans must be
right when they say that the tariff
should be changed in the interests of
the people to defend them against the
trusts. Since. therefore, 1t is officially
certified that it will not be SO changed
by the Republicans, the only hope for
tariff relief is with the Democrats.

A Quick Cure that Lasted.
CASE NO. 30,611-C. E. Boies, dealer
in grain and feed, sos South Water
Street, Akron, O., made the following
statement in 1896, he said: Ever since
the Civil War l have had attacks of
kidney and bladder trouble, decidedly
worse during the last two or three
years. Although consulted physicians.
some of whom told me l was verging
on Bright's disease, and l was contin-
ually using standard remedies, the ex-
cruciating aching just across the kid
neys, which radiated to the shoulder
blades, still existed. As might be ex
pected when my kidneys were in
disturbed condition, there was dis
tresSing and inconvenient difficulty with
the action of the kidney secretions. A
box Of Doan's Kidney Pills. procured
at Lamparter & Co.'S drug store,
brought such a decided change within
a week that continued the treatment.
The last attack, and 1t was particularly
aggravated, disappeared"
Three Years After.
Mr. Boies says in 1899: in the
spring of 1896 1 made public state
ment of my experience with Doan's
Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me
OF terrible aching in the kidneys. in
the small Of my back, in the muscles
of the shoulder blades, and in the
limbs During the years that have gone

experience of many others in Akron

An Iapotent 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-
tions from the public have heen enlarg-
ed and extended 10 most of the neces-
sites of life The coal combine and the
beef trust are eSa:nples 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
tect the combines. hut were actually
prepared by attorneys of the trusts ard
therefore were entirely in their inter-
ests. The trust magnates. finding
themselves securely entrenched ana
protected, then began series of great
combinations that staggered the COM
mercial world and have gradually rails
ed prices of most necessities to the
highest notch ever before known
Naturally the voters began TO kick
Mt these eNactions, 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.
but no notice was taken of this recon-
mendation by the Republicans in Con-
yress. 1t remained for n Democratic
Senator 10 propose an amendment to
the census bill on the lines of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendation. a
vote was taken and all the Republi-
cans present voted against it and all
the Democrats for it. but it was de-
feated. for the Republicans We're in
command of the situation.
The political situation became more
acute, and upon the close of the first
session of the Fifty-Seyenth 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
ely TO offer other than publicity of
trusts transactions, unless an amend
ment TO the constitution can be had.
but this would only be available 10 Il
future generation. and the voters are
clamoring for immediate relief. To
change the constitution requires two
thirds of Congress to vote to propose it
and three-fourths of all the States 10
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
one fourth of the States agreeing TO
the same. The corporations control
over one-third of the Senate was stat
ed by Senator Morgan. and 1t is doubt
ful If they do not control greater per-
centage of the present House of Rep
resentatives. Under these circum-
stances can the Republican party be
relied on TO control the trusts: 1t
would seem 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?
1t is useless to look for relief from
trust exactions from Republican
President or n Republican Congress.
They are bound to their idols.
