One significant fact % the situation
described Is that the English people
cannot escape the tax by raising their
own tea. They must import their IA
vOrite beverage or get along without
IL. In the United States. ON the other
hand. tariffs are levied upon articles
which can be produced In our own
country, with the result that they are
produced - abundantly that the price
Is actually lowered in consequence OF
the duties placed upon them. Thee
retically, the tariff is a tax; practical
ly, II Is a tax reducer. More than that.
Industrial opportunities are credited
for the benefit Of wage earners and
10 the immense enlargement of nation
al and individual wealth.
Whatever may be the comparative
merits OF the two systems In England
IT is certainly well for the United
States 10 refrain from taxing non
competitive articles like tea and 10
charge other countries for the privi-
lege Of bringing their competitive ar
ticles into our markets. This Is the
Republican policy. 1t is not the Dem
ocratlc policy.

"A
CIeveIand's Last Term.
We have only TO go back TO the last
administration of President Cleveland

tary Shaw's proposition. The tariff
smashing bill knocked business sky

the people found employment. Prices
went down. or course they did. for

What was the use Of butcher shop

for him to be told that he could pur-
chase a loaf of bread for cent or
two less than in good times, for in good
times he would have had cents in
his pocket to pay for a loaf, but now
II bread was selling for penny he
could not procure it.
That is what Secretary Shaw wished
the workingmen of Wilmington to I'M
derstand. If they are all at work at a
fair wage they have the price of bread
and meat in their pockets, and II the
price is higher than in troublous times

THE EXPECTED HAPPENED.
Governor Cummins Broke Faith With
Republicans of Iowa.

The Cedar Rapids Republican is
right in the opinion that in going to
the Chicago convention and breaking
loose with about the worst connection
of ideas that he has yet devised Gov
ernor Cummins broke faith with the
Republicans of Iowa.
That is precisely what happened,
precisely what might have been ex-
pected. Although morally bound hard
and fast by the vote Of an overwhelm-
ing majority in the convention which
selected him as one Of the delegates
at large, and although he pledged him
self to stand with both feet right In
the middle of the platform and not to
60 lettering on its edges, Cummins dis
regarded the instructions and broke
his word by working with all his
might and main for the Incorporation
of his tariff tinkering and wide open
reciprocity heresies into the national
Republican platform.
Iowa Republicans made mistake
when they permitted Cummins to mis-
represent them at Chicago. He should
have been kept at home. He probably
will be next time.

CHAMBERLAlN'S PLAN,

he Makes the Mistake of Mixing Up
Protection and Reciprocity.
The London cable of July 20 brings
the news that as the result of its pro-
tracted investigation of industrial CON
ditions the tariff commission Of man.
ufacturers and business men appointed
by Joseph Chamberlain several months
ago has submitted report embodying
the conclusion that the decline Of the
British iron and steel industry is due
to the fact that the manufacturers Of
America and Germany have secured
control Of the home markets by means
Of high tariffs and an organized system
regulating their export trade; that they
are in position to dump their surplus
products on the British and other mar
kets irrespective Of cost, and that the
dumping could not be carried on except
for the British system Of free imports.
The commission expresses the opinion
that the situation can only be rem
edied by a system of tariffs arranged
as follows:
"a general tariff consisting of low
scale of duties for foreign countries
admitting British wares on fair terms
"a differential tariff, lower than the
general tariff, for the colonies, giving
adequate preference to British manu-
features and framed to secure freer
trade within the British empire
"A maximum tariff consisting of
comparatively higher duties, but sub
ject to reduction by negotiation TO the
level of the general tariff"
The report, which is signed by fifty
eight commissioners, is very bulky and
gives the evidence Of British manufac-
turers, the evidence given before the
United States Industrial commission
on iron and steel industries, the organ.
ization and working of German kartels,
vast amount of statistics, etc.
1t would seem that Mr.. Chamber
lain's tariff commission has taken a
narrow and imperfect view of the gen

CANDIDATE PORTER'S RECORD

Eli II. Porter, the Democratic nominee
Tor governor served in the legislature of
1892, 1900 and 1902, and in every
one of them has been ranked by the
reporters at the press table as among
the ten leaders of the house. In
lS9z he was on the committee that
framed and carried through the bill for
the town system of schools, and was
recognized as one of the leader. in that
hard fight. He also led the fight that
resulted in the defeat of the scheme for
the removal of the county seat-a
scheme in support of which Mr. Haskins
and the nearly solid Republican politi.
can phalanx of this county were
united. They were not thinking of Mr.
Porter as 'little fellow" at that time
Porter introduced at this session also the
bill, which passed. changing the hour for
opening the polls at state and national
elections. He and T. j. Bovnton pre.
pared and drafted the license bill of that
year which Porter got Mr.. Clement. as
Republican, to introduce, and for which
the latter has always had the credit.
When Porter reappeared in the house
IN 1900 he was made a member of tbn
committee on rules and also of the com.
mittee on banks. At this session he in.
PRODUCED his valued policy insurance bin
and carried it through the house. but
it was strangled in the senate. He was
the only speaker against the SALARY
grab bill and the Buffalo exposition bill
both OF which were defeated.
In the 1902 session he was chairman
of the general committee, as well as of
the committee on final adjournment and
the committees on rules and on banks.
Mr.. Porter's record at this session is foo
recent to need rehearsing; how he in.
PRODUCED the bill to increase state
revenue by additional taxes on corpora-
lions to the amount of Sl0S,O76.l5-
how by the aggressive fight made the
Republicans were driven to forego the
imposition of any direct state tax. for
the first time in history-how he vipor.
ously supported the Bundy bill for re-
duction of state expenses by 5000. 900:
two measures that if they had passed
would have made difference of from
S4 to SIS to each Vermont familv-how
he opposed the scheme of the bar associ-
alton and pretty much all the LAWYERS
to boost the salaries of the supreme court
Judges up to $4,000 year, and with n
telling speech defeated the bill-how he
re-introduced and made gallant fight
for his valued policy bill-how he
was member of the Democratic caucus
committee that framed and presented
the local option measure, which, except
ing for defects that were forced into IL
by it's opponents, is the present law.
and how he has always been on the firing
line.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
LOCAL OPTION
The Significant Change in the Republi
can State Platform This Year-The
Warning it Contains in View of the
Experience OF Two Years Ago

The Republican platform, as drafted
by Hon. O. NJ. Barber, a square and
straightforward man and an earnest be-
lever in local option, read as follows re-
garding the subject:
1--WE therefore recommend to the general as
sembly that, having been so amended as TO give
force and efficiency to the fundame ntal princi
pies upon which the law itself rests, THE
SAME BE FURTHER CONTINUED IN
FORCE"
In these words it was given out to the
press and SO printed in the Montpelier
Daily Journal on the day of the Repub-
lican state convention, with the evident
understanding that that was what the
committee on resolutions had agreed
upon. BY some process, whereof We
know naught, by the time the platform
was presented to the convention it read
as follows:
ave therefore recommend TO the general as.
sembly that this law be amended so as to give
force and efficacy to its fundamental princi-
pies"
That is, the promise that "the same
be further continued in force" was
deliberately and purposely struck
out.
For what earthly purpose-can any
one tell or concieve-except that the
Republican party does not propose to
continue the law, but to leave itself in
shape where the unthinking can so sup
pose until after election that 1t has prom
ised, but where it can claim, after cleo
ton, that it is free to resort to tricks like
those of the last legislature, with the
Battell bill, the referendum that it
planned to result in kick into the
empty air, the secret caucuses to lay am
bushes, and the series of amendments
designed to secure its rejection by the
people.
In future issues of this column we will
show by official proof how, but for the
Democrats and Clement men in the last
legislature, no local option law would
have passed at all, but If it had been left
to the Republicans alone, it would
have been killed by vote of two or
three to one at different stages Of its
progress.
Then the intelligent freemen of Yer
mont may decide whether a party that
so generally and so shamelessly violated
its solemn platform promise on this same
subject two years ago, is again to be
trusted with a promise that is no prom
Use, but on its face is proven to be a
tricky substitute for one.
