Washington, Dec. president
Roosevelts recommendation on the
regulation of freight rates have

any other feature of the message. 1t
is noticeable that he has declared for
such additional powers for the inter-
state commerce commission as were
recommended by Governors Cum
Minis, Van SAINT and LaFOllette, e. P.
Bacon, chairman Of the legislative
committee of the interstate commerce
Law convention and others. There is
excellent reason to believe that the
pre- Sident's recommendations on this
subject are the direct outgrowth OF
the presentation of facts made when
Governors Cummins and Van SAINT
and Mr.. Bacon were here.

in 1898 and in 1901 took first prize at
the Wisconsin state fair helds at Mil

TRUSTS ALL POWERFUL.
They Completely Dominate tie Re
publican Party.


The "Iowa idea" has been over
thrown in the state of it's birth. as far
as the Republican leaders can do So
At the state convention to elect dele
gates to the national convention the
platform adopted was Of the stand pat
order, though there was a considerable
objecting minority. The same tactics
were employed as in the Republican
state convention of Massachusetts.
where Senator Lodge told those dele
gates who were demanding reciprocity
with Canada that their place was in
the Democratic party. If the propor-
ton of delegates in either of these con-
ventions that favored tariff revision
are backed up by the same per cent Of
voters, there are more than enough to
turn those strong Republican states
over to the Democrats if they elect to
do so.
The trusts are now competing in
many foreign markets against these
foreign products that the protection
lists fear and are evidently undersell-
ing the foreigners, or the trusts would
not export their products there. To
reduce or abolish the tariff on these
trusts products would not therefore
allow the foreign products to be i'm
ported here, for the freight and
charges alone would be barrier. Of
course the trusts under 10 per cent
tariff would have to reduce their
prices 80 or 40 per cent to meet these
new conditions, and the consumer here
would gain that much.
There may be some industries here
which would need greater protection
for a time and the tariff on articles
Of luxury would still be continued and
perhaps increased. For instance, the
tariff rate on diamonds is now 10 per
cent, there is no reason why it should
not be so per cent. The tariff rate on
refined sugar is about so per cen@.
there is no good reason why it should
not be reduced to IL per cent, except
that the enormous profits of the sugar
trust would be decreased. Would that
ruin the country or reduce wages?
The platforms of the Republican
state conventions adopted this year
show that the trusts and corporations
have more influence with the leaders
than the voters Of that party have, for
In every state except Idaho the plat
forms declare for protection and for
what has come to be known as "stand
pat" The Republican national conven-
don will make live declaration. There
fore those Republican voters who be-
lieve that the tariff shelters trusts
will, for their own salvation, aid in the
election of the Democratic ticket.

TARIFF AIDS PLUNDERERs.
Evidence That Trusts Sell Cheaper
AhrNad Thnn nj Home.

The mucS disputed question of how
much cheaper the trusts sell their prod
ucts to foreigners than to the people OF
the United States has been settled as
far as steel rails are concerned. The
evidence was produced by Senator Ba.
con in speech made in the senate
April %. He conclusively shows by
the evidence of Mr.. Wright, general
manager of the Macon, Dublin and
Savannah Railroad company, that fe
had paid 500 ton for steel rails for
his railroad which the steel trust Of
fered to sell for 500 if exported to
Honduras. Mr.. Wright, who is Re
publican, was quite indignant at being
thus plundered by the steel trust and
says:
Eve, American citizens. paid to this
American industry $4,000 in excess OF
what foreigners would have been com.
PEELED to pay" a bonus in excess OF
5000 mile is quite a stiff tax to pay
the steel trust. and Senator Bacon stat
ed that the railroads of the United
States have for the six years beginning
in 1895 and ending in 1903 used u.
544,242 tons of steel rails and paid fol
them S15O,5309N more than the same
rails would have been sold for to for
eigners. This enormous extra profit
from Americans is arrived at from the
testimony of Mr.. Schwab, who was
president Of the steel trust, that rails
| could be manufactured for S12 ton
| and sold at fair profit in this country
| at SIG ton. The average price during
the six years for which the computa-
tion is made was $2S per ton, which is
the price today. The difference be
tween SIG and $2S makes the amount
stated by Senator Bacon.
Most people would not be especially
| interested in how much the steel trust
plumbers the railroads, except that tho
high prices of rails undoubtedly add
to the rates for passenger and freight
SO that indirectly every one that uses
the railroads pays his share of that
| enormous bonus
The tariff duty on steel rails is $7.8l
ton, and this tax prevents foreign
rails from being imported and thus
keeping the price within reasonable
bounds. Mr.. Schwab also said In his
testimony that foreign countries could
not manufacture steel rails for less
than $40 ton, which, if freight and
duty are added, would make them cost
about $28, the price the trust charges.
/, With this evidence of plunder that
the tariff allows the trust, who, except
the "stand patters," will say that the
steel trust schedule should not be re.
vised? And the evidence that the same
tariff plunder is fostering other trusts
In like manner is the reason the Dem.
ocrats demand that all the schedules
that sheltee trusts should also be re.
vised.

resignation. but owing to the fact that
her plans had already been made it was
impossible to change her plans. Many
