The Cuban people asked a re.
mission of the duties on their sugar
and tobacco imported into the
United States to the extent of so
per cent. of the rates fixed by the
Dingley tariff, promising in return
"a libetal reciprocity on American
imports to Cuba, which are mainly
breadstuffs, machinery and provis-
ions. The Republican members
of the ways and means committee
on Saturday, after long struggle
with the sugar and tobacco protec-
tionists, reached an agreement fix
ing the rate of reduction of Ding
ley duties on Cuban imports at 20
per cent, with the addition that
Cuba adopt our immigration laws
restricting immigration in certain
ways and prohibiting Chinese i'm
migration. General Wood and the
President urged more liberal re-
duction of Dingley taxes, but were
defeated by Dalzell, Grosvenor and
other extreme protectionists
Whether the 20 per cent. limit will
be satisfactory to the Cubans or to
the Senate is point to be deter
mined hereafter. The gag will be
used to force it through the House,
but the Senate remains to be dealt
with-Pittsburg Post.

Henderson and the TrusIs


Henderson and the Truss.
Parkersburg Sentinel
Speaker Henderson who came
from agricultural Iowa has dew iop-
ed into the greatest ally and friend
the trusts ever had in the Speakers
chair of Congress. His rulings
stamp him as the ideal trust 5ade
official. He does their bidding
with ready Willingness and cheer
full effort. When he was seeking
honor he was a man of the people,
when he secured honor he became
a tool of the trusts.
The rapidly increasing surplus
in the treasury caused a demand
everywhere for the reduction of
taxation, and the question arose
whether it should be made through
lessening of the duties on trust
made articles, thereby redueing
the price to the consumers in this
country, or by wiping out the co.
called war taxes. It's ozs-r., ss<Il.
tobacco, tin, iron twine ond other
trusts that were fattened like hogs
on ths protective tariff demanded
that their methods of plumber and
pillage be uninterfered with, and if
the nations income must be re-
duced that the war taxes be re-
pealed.
Whereupon Speaker Henderson
put through the House of Repre-
sentatives. with the assistance of
other trust employees. the bill re-
peaaing the war taxes and leaving
the robber tariff undisturbed. The
crime that has deluged Speaker
Henderson with infamy is not the
bill itself, but the fact that no
member of congress was allowed to
offer an amendment to it. The
bill, whatever it was, was prepared
in secret and sent through the
House like it was fired out 4 cat
apult. There are four hunnred
members of congress, representing
as many different constituencies
throughout the United States. and
by the ruling of the Speaker not a
single one of them was permitted
to offer an amendment to the
measure.
The trusts demanded the passage
of the bill as it was prepared by
them and it went through as they
wanted it, without comma or a
letter being changed.
Henderson's constituency has
been asking for reduction of tar
iff duties for many years on the
articles that are needful to the ag-
ricultural communities, and they
were promised, before the election,
that when the time comes to reduce
revenues the taxes that were most
oppressive to the farming classes
were the ones that should be the
first to go. The time did come but
the taxes did not go. Henderson
is responsible for it.
