That the charge of the Light Brigade

iscences Of that day. First came the
attack of the Heavy Rrigade-npon

Turks by the Russians in their first ad-

Ivan Ivanovitch, a Russian survivor

were fine soldiers, and had such fine
horses. But the charge-it was tho
maddest thing ever done. We could
not understand it. had been In the
charge by the Heavy Brigade in the
morning, and was wounded. We had
all unsaddled and were tired Sudden
ly there was cry, The English are

Our colonel was angry, and ordered
the men to give no quarter.
Il was lying down with my wound
bandaged when saw them coming.
We thought they We're drunk, from tho
way they held their lances. Instead
of carrying them under their armpits
they waved them in the air. OF course,
they were easier to guard against like
that.
Those men were mad, and never
seemed to think of the tremendous
numbers against them, nor of the fear
fnl slaughter that had taken place In
their ranks during that desperate ride.
Then they ncared us. and dashed In
among us, shouting, cheering and
cursing. l never saw anything like II.
They were irresistible, and our men

Tax md Trust.Ridden.


When you hear Republican saying
there is 10 need to reform the tariff,
ask him why the rates in the Dingley
bill-the present tariff law-were
made so much higher thnn the Nc
kinley law, which was higher than
any other previous tariff. The fact
that the rates are higher now than
ever before would seem to demand re-
form. -
1t was. admitted by Senator Dolli-
yer, of Iowa, in speech in the Sen
ate, that the rates were purposely in
creased to allow for reductions that
might be made in reciprocity treaties
with foreign countries. Mr. Kasson
was selected by President Mckinley
to negotiate reciprocity treaties, and
he did SO with France, Nicaragua, Ec-
dador, Argentina and the British and
Danish West Indies.
But the Republican leaders in the
United Suites Senate refused to allow
those treaties to be ratified, and the
Dingley law rates have continued to
be paid by the people Of the United
States without the small concessions
that the reciprocity treaties would
have made on some articles. And yet
the Republican national platform of
1900 contained these words:
Reciprocity and protection are twin
measures Of Republican policy and go
hand in hand.' The Iowa State plat
NJ nd IN
policy of reciprocity rs the natural
complement of protection and urge its
development as necessary to the reali-
cation of our highest commercial pos
sibiliees." And that tariff plank closed
with this important declaration: I'VE
favor any modification of the tariff
schedules that may be required to pre-
vent their affording n shelter to mo-
nopoly."
Nearly every State Republican plat
form has declared for reciprocity, and
some of them declared for such modi-
fications of the tariff schedule rs may
seem to be required. The Idaho Re-
publican platform of 1902 declared out
spokenly for tariff revision and con-
tanned the most radical antitrust plank
that any political party has declared
for. 1t says: I'VE favor revision
of the tariff without unreasonable de-
lay, which will place upon the free
list every article and product con-
trolled by any monopoly and such 9TH
err articles and products as are be-
yond the need of protection"
In spite of these declarations and
promises made by the Republicans,
President Roosevelt and the leaders
in Congress have determined to not
even consider the tariff, or attempt to
modify those schedules that give the
trusts their monopoly of the market
for many of the necessaries of life.
The Republicans refuse to ratify the
reciprocity treaties of their own max
ing, and they refuse to reduce the
Dingley rates, although they purposely
placed those rates much higher than
the protected trusts asked. that when
the reciprocity treaties We're ratified
the trusts and combines would still be
amply protected. But the trusts con.
trolled the Republican, lenders and
have been strong enough to keep the
law intact, and the protectionists de-
clare it must not be touched.
Thus we are tariff taxed and trust
ridden. Ask your Republican neigh
Dor how he likes this do-nothlng pro-
gram of his party and II he thinks his
prosperity is enhanced by 1t.

..rhe STRUGGLING M;ddIe cla.se.. ),

1.-THE Struggling Middle Classes."
The New York Commercial whose
luminosity towards organized labor is
second only in intensity to its zeal
to the cause of the stand-patters, is
telling some important truths relative
to the situation confronted By many
people in New York and other cities.
1t asserts that in the metropolis to-
day uncounted thousands of managers,
accountants, clerks, solicitors, engi-
neers. professional men and small
traders are engaged in struggle to
make both ends meet" that the
marked and very general advance in
wages has raised the cost of living,
enormously, and that the salaries and
the incomes of these middle-class
workers have not been advanced at all.
Like most Republican newspapers
and speakers, the Commercial does not
put the blame for the increased cost
of living where 1t belongs-upon the
Republican party, which made the
Dingley tariff law, which is the moth
err of trusts, which now charge us mo-
nopoly prices-but upon that portion
of the strugglers who belong to trades
unions, and who, during the last two
years, made some unsuccessful at
tempts to have their wages increased
somewhat In proportion to the in
creased cost of living. Just listen to
this good Republican paper willie it be.
rates organized labor:
THE time is ripe for them to array
themselves against organized labor, to
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
employers who are now organizing for
resistance to the aggressions Of the
labor unions. Unionism is fattening
on their misery. How long will they
endure It'll"
II the workingmen know their own
interests they will this year vote with
the party that is striving to reduce
tariff duties and to thus greatly Grip
pie the trusts and lower the cost of liy-
ing. This will not only virtually raise
wages indirectly, but it will lead to
greater consumption and production of
goods. This means more demand for
workers and therefore higher wages.
Workingmen. think of these things
before you cast your votes this year.

working space will be provided for
Registrar Hapai and staff. Standing
room for the public with warrants in

clerk to go from one end of the Office
to the other. while the Registrar was
engaged at the pay wicket, without
causing interruption to business with
