TARIFF lind CORPORATIONS.
a Republican who Thinks its Time
to Turn the RascaIs Out.

James Wilkinson better knawn as
Jimmie" Wilkinson, Of Wilkinson Bros,
commission merchants 132-134 Dock St,
and known all over New Jersey as the lar
gest sweet potato dealer in the country,
contributed the following article to last
Mondays Ledger.
To the Editor Of Publie Ledger.
The speakers and opologists for the Re-
publican party are mostly certain United
States Senators and Rcoseyelt's Cabinet
officers The senators are doubtless in
terested in protected trusts or are literally
paid by them, and are the robber barons of
The present age. They are good TO them
selves aud their adherents. but are plum
derers of the people generally. The tariff
should be revised upon just basis, but
this revision will never be made by the
friends Of extreme protection. We need a
change politically occasionally, just as the
PHYSICAL system need dose of medicine.
Better turn the rascals out every once in
a while, even if a new set goes in; the old
ones are too sure of their places. See how
in Philadelphia firmly intrenched in pow
er, they think they can do just as they
please.
Speaking of United States Senators,
know of one protected article, which is
made by a trust largely owned by a Sena-
tor, that sells for S97 per barrel, which if
not protected could be sold for S32. 1t is
so dear that the sale is restricted, as a good
many people cannot afford to buy it.
Wages are higher and more people are en-
ployed than in some former years, but the
cost of living is so increased that 1t is just
as tight squeeze to get along as when
everything was on lower basis and range
of prices. The rich are richer in these
times, while the poor are no better of.
The Democrats have learned something
by experience, and now that Bryan is elm
mated, can be trusted to run the Govern
ment all right. Any party, no matter how
perfect it may be, requires turning down
now and then, because those whose party
and principles are graft viii attach them
selves like barnacles to the party longest
in power. There are, however, grave Teas-
ons why au implusiye and erratlc character
like Roosevelt should not be elected by the
people He is now President by accident.
Theodore Roosevelt no matter what he has
been or what he has written, is now a
friend of the Senatorial bosses and not
friend Of the people He never would
have been Governor of New York had he not
affiliated with Platt in New York and in
Philadelphia he favored Quay rather than
the independent citizens who were trying
to better things politically. While he may
want to do right he more wants to be Pres
ldent am a Republican since the days
Of Fremont but / can't stand for the graft
that creeps into the party after it has held
power for a long period.

BENEFITS OF EQUAL TAXATION


These benefits are involved in the sue
cess of the Equal Tax movement in New
Jersey this year =:
Relief from excessive taxation
Cessation of municipal bodybuilding and
reduction of interest payments in munich
pal tax levies.
Greater amounts of public income for
public Improvements, for the public schools
for public parks, for police and fire protec-
tion and other purposes.
The enlistment OF the railroad companies
on the side of good state and municipal
government by reason of their equal as
sumption of the burdens of government,
whereas they are now, because of their tax
exemption privileges, the supporters of bad
government and corrupt legislators and
public officials
The results of the operation Of these
benefits will be these
A lessened tax on property and individ-
ual enterprise win stimulate real estate inn
provements.
It will attract population.
1t will encourage manufacturers to To-
cate in the State.
It will increase the opportunities for
labor employment
1t will cheaper rents and the necessities
of life.
Politics will be made cleaner.
With the selfish motive removed, the
railroad corporations will no longer subsi-
die the political boss and lend to him its
power and influence to control nominations
and elections
There will be less interference by the
railroad interests in the selection Of Cover
nors.
They will have less to say in the appoint
ment of members of the State courts.
The State Boards will not be the mere
creature of railroad corporations as they
now are
With the opposition of the railroads re-
moved, the people viii be better able to
secure reforms in legislation.
They will be less hampered in their
efforts to procure necessary changes in the
State constitution.
All these benefits and advantages are de-
pendent on the success Of the Equal Tax
alton movement, and they are to be shared
by all the people III common and by the
State at large.
Can there be any doubt in the mind of a
voter as to how be shall east his vote in the
State election this year

EDITOR ALBRIGHT
DISCREDIIED

Eais solemn statement Proven False.
Two weeks ago we stated, on general
rumor about town, that Messrs. Watkins &
Avis were large owners Of the stock Of the
Constitution Company. Mr.. Albright came
back at us the following week with about
the foulest screed that has ever appeared
in Woodbury. paper. in which he posi-
lively denied that either Mr.. Watkins or
Mr.. Avis have dollar invested in the Con-
stitation plant.
In order that we might ascertain what
the official record contained, we addressed
the following letter to Secretary of State
Dickinson, under date Of Oct 26, please
furnish me with names of officers of Conssti-
tuition Company, Of Woodbury., n j., and
date of last report. " Under date Of Get.
81, 1904, we received the following report ::

THE ". c. |. j.

The members OF the W. G. T. e. at a
special meeting held Monday evening ex-
pressed much gratitude and appreciation Of
the cordial hospitality shown the delegates
to the recent Convention The society
wishes to thank most warmly every family
that was willing to receive these visitors.
The entertainment committee was
obliged to disappoint some Of the would-be
hostesses because the number of delegates
was considerably less than had been expec-
ted. Ii was impossible to do more than
guess at the number for whom to provide
(by referring to the attendance in other
years 4since some people who expect to come
fail to do so, and Others come without
sending word.
In our undue anxiety lest so small city
could not readily provide for so many visi-
tors we asked for more homes than we
needed
From Nov 20 to Dec the Convention
of the National W. C. T. T. will be held in
Phila. Each year this body meets in a diff
ferent large city, and when it comes close
to n. J. it affects the size of our State Con-
vention, since many women cannot attend
both, and so choose the greater one.
A good many of our delegates who live
near returned home each evening. Those
hostesses who wished to entertain special
people were first supplied so far as possible
and the homes nearest to the church were
much in demand.
The society is very grateful to every
person who in any way gave a helping
hand (
