Fetters have been forged for the
striking miners by some who would
ravish right, who would prosecute
a principle. The denial OF just wage
to those who produce wealth will only
serve to strengthen their purpose. and
will arraign on their side the sympa-
thy of that vast army Of people who
believe in justice instead of tyranny:
and they compose 80 per cent of the
American people. There comes a time
in the affairs of men and nations when
the moral force of right cannot be in
closed in prison bars or subject to the
bayonets of capitalistic Hessians. The
brazen assumption that Republican
politicians can adjudicate the differ
ences between the mine owners and
the miners is fiimsy political subter-
fuge that would not be uttered only
by partisan who fails to comprehend
the difference between politics and
craftsmanship.

TARIFF REVISION
The President Must Look 10 the Dem
ocrats to Help His Administration
Reform the Trusts--No Help
From Republicans.

That was very adroit stump speech
the president delivered at Cincinnati
and considering that Speaker Hender
son had Just driven into the head OF
Mr.. Roosevelt the fact that there are
great many Republicans who favor
tariff revision he avoided committing
himself to one side or the other like q
veteran campaigner.
The burden OF the speech was that
the real evils connected with the trusts
cannot be remedied by any changes
In the tariff laws. The president did
not charge on this proposition in rough
rider style: he seemed rather afraid
of the tariff gatling guns at the tor
OF the hill. He adopted somewhat the
Indian plan Of making considerable
demonstration on one side to call on
the attention OF the tariff reduction
lists from the real point of attack. He
occupied long hour in telling very lit
tie that has not been thoroughly
thrashed out before and finished uI
with the same tale he had tried to be

ly. publicity and additional power
that is constitutional amendment.
At Logansport lie tackled the tariff
q trihe more definitely. but steered
clear OF committing himself to re
vision that would help the people
against the exactions of the trusts
He postpones the matter by proposing
Q commission to revise the tariff law
on nonpartisan lines. Why this ever
lasting procrastination?
1t will be impossible to pass a law
creating a commission at the next ses
sion Of congress that would throw the
matter over until the meeting OF the
Fifty-eighth congress, which does not
take place until December, 1903, and IL
would be far along into 1904 before
such law could be passed. Then the
slow ways of commissions are proverb
ial. They would have to take testi
mony and investigate and even after
they should agree upon a revision OF
one schedule IL would require the &C
ton of congress to ratify or remodel
1t. So no relief to the people from
trust exactions could be expected until
long after the next presidential cleo.

The trusts and combines them

mating proceedings.

gress might hasten matters, 1t certain

cratic congress could hold up Mr..

he would prefer a Democratic house
that would relieve his administration

How the People Of This Country Are
Paying the Penalty Of FeaIty to
an Unpatriotie Cause.
Some Comparisons Showing That the
Tariff Is the Prolific Mother
OF Trusts.

The following extracts from an edi
torial in the Iron Age of Sept. 4. 1902
indicates that the tariff is. in Germany
as here, the mother of trusts and
very unpatriotic ones:
The Germans are in the throes OF
a tarif revision, the imperial govern
ment having drawn up proposals after
collecting mass OF evidence. These
have been submitted TO a tariff com
mission appointed by the reichstag
which is overhauling and voting on
every item.
The German press summarizes the
discussion at the meetings OF the tariff
commission, which has a strangely IA
miliar sound. The Socialists, who are
free traders. are savage in their de
nunciations of the industrial syndi-
Gates which are fattening ON the con
sumer under the shelter OF the tariff
They point to the fact that German
manufacturers of iron and steel are
selling abroad at lower prices than
they charge at home. and argue that
ability TO export goods is proof that
protection is no longer needed.
I'VE observe that every one of the
defenders of the syndicates distinctly
disclaims approval of many OF the
acts of these organizations.
The selling at lower prices for ex-
port is justified by the fact that II Sc

for fun. but because the producers in

If they would only stop the Germans

tice. II this rivalry keeps up the con

syndicates are formed.

In this connection IL ought to inter-
