DUBUQUE, Iowa, Sept. 16.-Dayid b. Hen
derson, Speaker Of the House of Representa-
lives, this afternoon announced his withdrawal
from the contest for Congress in this, the
Third Congressional district of Iowa.
Mr.. Handerson's campaign manager said
that the decision to withdraw was reached
after deliberation extending over period
dating from the recent State convention of
Iowa Republicans, which adopted platform
advocating the removal of those "duties that
afford shelter TO monopoly"
The Democratic nominee against Mr.. Hen
derson is former Gov. Horace Boies.
Although two years ago the speaker had a
majority in excess of II 200, his campaign
managers this year claimed only 5000.
The impression is common here that the
withdrawal was Influenced by fears of defeat.
The speaker vigorously opposed the incor-
poration of the shelter plank or "the Iowa
idea'i in the State platform, and stood, with
all the Iowa delegation, against Governor
Cummins and Senator Deliver, who won in
the convention, and thereby precipitated the
schism which has compelled the speaker to
withdraw.
Tn this district tie demand for tariff revision
comes from every corner, and particularly
from Black Hawk county, where, on next
Saturday night, the Republicans were to have
amass meeting to ratify the nomination of Mr..
Boies, the Democratic nominee.
During the last session of Congress 100 of
these Republicans addressed petition to the
speaker requesting him TO work for tariff re-
vision. His reply, that the administration
could be trusted to create the party's policies,
angered most of them who have joined with
the Democrats, besides attacking him on his
position on the tariff question.

President Roosevelt's Frequent
Change of Opinion

We have not seen it stated, and it is proba-
bly nota fact. that Mr.. William Tyler Page
is the adviser Of President Roosevelt in his
speeches in his swing around the circle Mr..
Page, SO he told the newspaper reporters was
appealed to for advice by Mr.. keifer, when
he was Speaker Of the House Of Representa-
tives. Mr.. Page at that time was only thlr-
teen years old, but we do not recoilect that
Mr.. Keifer was inconsistent in his rulings.
President Roosevelt has different view for
every section he visits. In the North ne IS
intensely Northern and rabid Republican
In the South he expresses great admiration
for Southern blood, bravery and chivalry.
How often he has changed his mind on the
Trust question probably no one knows. When
he attacked the Trusts he was regarded as
politician hunting for votes rather than as
sincere statesman dealing with very import
ant public question. Certainly he has ex-
pressed several opinions as to their evil et-
fects, ard he has dropped the word Trusts,
and speaks of them as aggregations OF capital
and large combinations Of business interests
The President was quite bold for Repubf-
can when he took up the question OF Trusts
last Js,ly. but he has found out since that
without the aid of the Trusts the Republican
party would not exist. 1t was organized to
free the Negroes. When that object was &C
complished there was no excuse for the or
ganization. 1t lasted for some years by the
cohesive power of public plumber. Wendell
Phillips, prominent Republican when the
party was born, said 'The men who made the
Republican party are in their graves. The men
whom the Republican party made are in Con-
gress. And they are there as Trust repre-
sentatives by votes controlled'by Trusts.

export price was considerably lower than the
price in the United states. Would you give

vary with each article.
Q. Suppose you take the case of steel

about $23 per ton."

A ''At the same time.'
When it is remembered that the freight rate
between Pittsburg and Liverpool is approx
imately SIS per ton, and that the $23 price in
England includes the freight--in other words
that the Steel Trust pays that freight to Liver

Tariff for Revenue VS.. Free Trade.

The Republican campaign managers real
izing the precariousness of their position and
their helplessness ON the question of Tariff
and Trusts, are trying to gain strength by mis-
representing the attitude of the Democratic
party on the question Of tariff for revenue
and the abolition of the tariff ON Trust
made articles that afford no revenue to the
Government in any form. A story is going
the rounds Of the Republican press TO the
effect that the Democratic camp aign book
declares in unequivocal terms for free trade
The Democratic campaign book declares
for nothing of the kind. What it does de-
mand is the placing on the free list OF all Trust
made articles that are manufactured in this
country and sold at from forty to two hundred
per cent. cheaper in foreign countries than
they can be obtained at home. Every one of
these Trusts, operating under the provisions
of the Dingley tariff law, afford not one pen
nv of revenue to the Government, but by
virtue of that law they mulct the American
consumer to the extent of hundreds of mil
lions annually The Democracy stands on
the Tariff and Trust questions where it has
always stood, namely, Equal rights to all
and special privileges to none"

The annual output Of four million barrels
of Texas oil is mostly used for fuel as no
economical process for refining it for illnmi-
mating purposes has yet been discovered. In
view of the strike III the anthracite coal re-
gions of Pennsylvania, experts have been in
vestigating the merits of the oil for domestic
fuel purposes, in comparison with bituminous
and anthracite GOALS. The railroads of the
Southwest use the Texas oil extensively, and
it is purchased at from twenty-five to thirty
cents a barrel. If it can be used for domestic
purposes, the demand for anthracite coal will
diminish and the present gloomy outlook for
the winter will be greatly alleviated
