in rents and prices, SO that there is no
man, however poor, but shares the bur

he can surely get it by continuing to
help roll up Republican majorities.

WHERE TARIFF is A TAX,
In Free Trade Great Britain 1t Is In
deed q Burden.

deed = Burden.
The British tariff system differs from
the American tariff system in one i1u.
pOrtant particular. In Great Britain,
they impose duties "for revenue only
On articles not produced at home. In
the United States we derive the greater
part of our customs revenue from du-
ties on articles the like Of which are
the products. of domestic industries.
The American system Is called protec-
ton. The British system is called free
trade.
This difference is brought into prom
inence by the new British budget, with
Its increase Of twOpence In the tax on
tea, bringing the total tax up to eight
pence, or about 10 cents per pound
We take from the Boston Herald some
British commercial statistics showing
the effect upon consumers of this in
creased tax. Their annual consump-
ton Of tea per capita is over six
pounds, while the American per capita
consumption Is less than one pound.
Last year the British imports of tea
amounted to the enormous total Of
301, 618,464 pounds, Of which it is esti-
mated that 255,366,OOO pounds were
consumed by the British people.

ReverberatiOn,

An exchange remarks that Mr..
Cleveland may assure himself that the
country will not forget him as long as
Bryan lives. 1t is true that Colonel
Bryan is a pretty loud talker and that
he works his mouth on full time, but
the country would remember Grover all
right If Billy was to 60 into eternal
reticence. The wall of the tramp and
the rattle of the soup bowl Of 1893
will reverberate down through the
ages when Bryan's voice will be for
gotten.-Moravian Falls IN, g. Vel

THE DINGLEY TARIFF TRUSTS
Their Enormous Growth, Nine enths
of 1t Since the Dingley Enactment,
and What 1t Means for Each Family's
Living Expenses

Closely akin to these state issues are
the great and paramount issues Of the
National Campaign-the Trusts and
Imperialism. John Moody, author of
the manual of Corporation Securities"
and the recognized authority on such
subjects, in his work, ''The Truth About
Trusts" published last winter, reports
their aggregate capitalization as follows:
Franchise Trusts ........ 1895 ASCOT
Railroad Combinations %. 1897 ,363, 9O7
Industrial Trusts ........ 7,246,342 ,533
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1904-08-19
S2O,379,l62,5ll

This nominal capitalization is more
than fifth of the whole wealth of the
country; that of the Railroad Trusts is
more than three-fourths of the Rail
road capital; that of the Industrial
Trusts is over 70 per cent of all the capt.
tai engaged in manufacturing.

NOT DEFINITE AND CERTAIN.
The four gentlemen nominated for
the legislature by the republican rail-
road machine Of this county have come
ont in signed statement pledging
themselves to vote ana work for an
apnointive railway commission if
elected. They 60 not state whether
or not they will take the advice of
the republican state central commit
-aa and of the chairman of the county
central committee TO vote against a
railway commission if George Turner
should be elected governor. As they
are all strong partisans and loyal to
the machine organization, the pre-
SUMPTION is that they would follow
the advice of their party leaders.
Moreover, they do not state whether
or not they wilt do as the republican
county did two years ago-aid the rail
road lobby in capturing the organiza-
tion of both houses 50 that no legiSla-
ton disapproved by the lobby can
ran the gauntlet of hostile committees.
Altogether there are too many pos
sible ifs connected with the pledge OF
the republican legislative nominees to
make it worth much to sincere friends
of a railway commission. If the re
publican legislative nominees are in
deed eager to work for a railway COM
mission they should prove it by work
ing and voting against Albert +.
Mead. the Farrell GroSScup- railroad
anti-commission nominee for governor.
Their support of Mead. who has always
opposed a railway commission and
who lined up the Whatcom county
delegation against it in the last two
republican state conventions, is con-
elusive evidence that they are not Sin
cere advocates of an effective railway
commission.

PATRIOTS FIRST; PARTISANS AT
INWARD.

In opposition to the theory that a
bad republican is better than the best
democrat the Mcbride republicans of
this state hold that the party cannot
command blind obedience; that good
government demands higher ideal.
The individual conscience is above
party. When the party has made a Sc
rous mistake, the individual voter is
not bound to repeat and ratify that
judgment. The party's own welfare de-
mands that it be rebuked when it has
done wrong. The theory of blind de-
Votion to party is the delight of the
boss and the ring politician. It breeds
corruption and subservience to special
interests.
Who are they. by the way, that are
commanding all republicans to bow to
the fetch of party loyalty, and de
nouncing Independence as a crime
