PROMISES OF cHEAPNEss.

Secretary Shaw went to the root of
the tariff agitation when he said:
Even the casual observer will bear
record that most voters are influenced
by self-interest The employer of la
Dor may be so short-sighted as to be-
lieve that a period Of low wages would
be to his advantage, because he would
thus be able to place his product upon
the market at less cost. Or he may
be so farsighted as to know that high
wages will increase the consumptive
capacity Of those whose needs he sup
plies, and will therefore improve his
market.
"The employer of labor is both a
consumer and a producer, and, there
fore may be appealed to from either
standpoint. The wage Garner also is
both consumer and producer. He
may be so shortsighted as to believe
that it would be to his advantage to
have cheap food, cheap clothing, and
cheap living expenses generally. Or
he may be so far-sighted as to know
that the market for his labor and for
the product of his labor is as import
ant to him as to his employer"
This is the exact root of the tariff
discussion. The free trader always
approaches men from the standpoint
of the producer only. They are ad-
vised to vote for cheapness, with the
implied promise on the free-trader's
part that all other things shall re-
main as they are. But they never do
remain as Lney are. If an era of
cheapness comes upon a country, ev-
erything becomes cheap, including
labor and the product of the manufac-
tories. The result is that while every
thing is cheap and theoretically with
in the reach of the poorest, the ability
to buy is so curtailed that the sum to-
tai of profits is reduced and poverty
ensues. We are to have another cam
paign upon the tariff and there will

THE ROUSTABOUT.

Roustabout hitched his kite to the
tail of the Iowa editorial excursion to
Texas and was glad the wind was in
the right direction to carry him along.
The Maple Leaf Route treated the
boys and girls royalty, and the Katy"
did the, right thing. 1t was a long
time between lunches to start with,
but when Mr.. Cookery of the NJ X. Q.
T. got aboard the suggestive name re-
lieved the situation some. However,
it seemed to be the general opinion,
that despite the courtesy of the rail
road official, dining car would have
been more acceptable. But all things
come to those who wait as did ST. JOS
eph, where the "ea.ens" disappeared
like wheat in the hopper. At Kansas
City, Ray OF the Grinnell Herald got
off and showed his bringing up by
starting cut in search for the town
pump. Rinehart of Newton, who by
the way is nearly we'll after the Bryan
banquet, tried to hide the embarrass-
ment of the occasion by assuring Ray
that Pabsts cow or Schlitz's milk
wagon were the only refreshment
sources in reach. The attraction was
sufficient, however, to detain one
member Of the party and even such a
boy of seventy summers as V. A. Bal
lou of Nevada, joined the party later
at San Antonia. 1t was a real sur
prise, if not genuine treat to go out
of the tropical climate of Iowa through
six inches CT snow in and around Kan
sas City.
Muskogee was really the first stop
and joy be to all who enter there. Sit
uated in the heart of country that
reminded Roustabout of the valley of
the Nile, when he walked to Egypt
last week, and filed with all the com
forts of home, including a brass band
and breakfast that would put Del
monico to shame, "the best town in
Indian Territory" left a kindly i'm
press on every member of the party.
Here Roustabout was especially glad
to meet his fellow townspeople, Hon.
and Mrs. Cyrus Beede. Mr.. Beede is
temporarily located here in his work
as Indian inspector, and his good wife
The Oskaloosa herald., 1903-04-09

and his works are source of pride to
all who enjoy his acquaintance. Talk
about Yankee push and Southern hos
pitality! We don't understand the ex-
preston but as it came from Rev.
Henry Wallace. the Farmer man, we
suppose it is all right, that Muskogee
"cOuld give cards and spades and beat
them out" The occasion was a genu-
inc holiday and the culture and re-
fnement visible on allsides, combined
with the cordiality extended at every
turn, made the whole party forget that
they were newspaper people, and
dream that for once the earth was
theirs. We promised not to tell the
leading attraction, but when we men.
ton the fact that it took five married
men and their wives to tear Shockley
away, the situation will be understood
Muskogee supports two representative
Daily newspapers, and magazine that
enjoys a national reputation. Not the
least attractive part of the publication
is the editor herself, Miss Ora Eddie

bright and charming as the Twin
Territories" is popular throughout the
country. THE Twin Territories" is
known as the Indian Magazine" and
all the articles are contributed and all
the mechanical work is done by In
dians. 1t is monthly publication and
enjoys clientage of ten thousand
subscribers. Muskogee is entitled tC
all that Joe Trigg could say about it
and then some, but if you want to
reach the hearts Of the business peo
pie of the territory you want to talk
statehood Every man, woman and
child are imbued with the idea, and they
have good reasons to expect a generous
government to crafty their wish. The
Roustabout is no prophet, but he has
no doubt that when the history Of the
future is written, the Indian territory
will occupy a position at the top OF

Erounded by pure reading matter.

TARIEE TRUSTS.

President Roosevelt in his speech
in Minneapolis Saturday pointed out
very plainly that the tariff is not a
shelter" for trusts and that the two
must be dealt with independently
that reduction of the tariff or its
elimination would be welcomed by the
trusts. Here's what the President
said on the subject:
One point we must steadily keep
in mind. The question of tariff re-
vision, speaking broadly, stands
wholly apart from the question of
dealing with the trusts.
No change in tariff duties can
have any substantial effect in solV-.
ing the so-called trust problem. Ger
tain great trusts or great corpora
tions are wholly unaffected by the
tariff. Practically all the others
that are of any Importance have as
matter of fact numbers of smaller
American competitors land of course
a change in the tariff which would
work injury to the large corporation
would work not merely injury, but
destruction to its smaller competi-
tors; and equally of course such
change would mean disaster to all
the wage workers connected with
either the large or the small corpor-
ations From the standpoint of
those interested in the solution of
the trust problem such a change
would therefore merely mean that
the trust was relieved of the compe-
tition of its weaker American COM
petitors, and thrown only into COM
petition with freight competitors;
and that the first effort to meet this
new competition would be made by
cutting down wages ,and would .nere-
fore be primarily at the cost of Ia
Dor. In the case of some of our
greatest trusts such change might
confer upon them positive benefit
Speaking broadly, it is evident
that the changes in the tariff will
effect the trusts for veal or woe
simply as they affect the whole coun-
try. The tariff affects trusts
only as it affects all other interests,
large or small, profitable; and its
benefit can be taken from the large
only under penalty of taking them
from the small also.

party to champion the peoples side in

His words will go on making con.
verts though he may recant rather
than leave his party. Governor Cum
minis calls himself republican but by
showing some sympathy with the peo,
pie as against the corporations he has
proven that he is much nearer the
democratic party than the men who
