Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1904-10-08

and there is Bailey the radical, the
iconoclast, the destroyer. One of
these Baileys says that until we can
obtain a constitutional amendment
authorizing an income tax and a di-
rect tax on all property we must stick
to the tariff as a revenue producer,
with incidental protection that shall
guard American manufactures against
foreign competition
Turn we now to the other Bailey.
Earlier in the same speech the Texas
Senator said:
"Our Republican friends seem to be
fiercely aroused because we have
dared to say that protection is rob-
berry of the many to enrich the few
Any law which levies a tax, not for
the purpose of raising revenue to sup
port the government, but for the pur-
pose of compelling an American citi-
he must buy, is a perversion of gov
eminent power and a downright rob-
berry.
IF Congress could raise revenue to
support the federal government by
levying an ad valorem tax of uniform
rate on all the property of this coun-
would become a debatable one But
as the constitution stands to-day-and
as it will always stand in this respect,
because it would be utterly impossible
to obtain a three-fourths vote of all
the states for an amendment to this
provision-we can never levy a direct
tax without such great inequality as
to render such a tax impossible ex-
cept in extraordinary emergencies
Here, we suspect, speaks the real
Bailey. Here we have the free trade
Bailey. Any law, mark you, which
goes beyond the purpose of raising
revenue and compe1s an American
citizen to pay for goods manufactured
at home a higher price than that for
which he could buy similar goods
manufactured in a foreign country is
l"a perversion of government power

WHAT Do THEY MEAN?
DEMOCRATS ARE sTRAEDLING ON
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Bailey of Texas Says Protection Is
Necessary, but Declares that 1t Is
Perversion of Government Power
and a Downright Robbery.

In his speech in Brooklyn Aug. 26
Senator Bailey of Texas said:
1T is the drivel of an idiot to talk
about any party in this country pro-
posing to repeal all tariffs and to es-
tablish free trade. With the expendi-
lures of the federal government al
ready SO enormous as to stagger the
imagination, and growing greater
every year under the reckless ex-
travagance of those now in power
they cannot hope to materially reduce
the present rate of duty.
Under the necessity of raising rev.
enue to support the government, the
Democratic party will continue to levy
tariff duties, and it perfectly under
stands that those tariff duties will af-
ford a protection to American manu-
facturers against their foreign COM
petitors.''
Standing alone, this would class as
a moderate, sane and reassuring state
ment of the Democratic attitude and
intention regarding future changes in
our tariff system. To be sure, it is
rather hard on some of Mr.. Bailey's
brother Democrats, like Champ Clark
and Bourke Cochran, who have in
fervid oratory again and again
avowed their hetestation of any and
all custom house restrictions or
charges. But that is another story.
Messrs. Clark and Cochran are told
that they have been talking 1.-THE
drivel of an idiot" and they must deal
with Joe Bailey accordingly.
We are, however, just now consid-
ering Bailey all by himself. There is
much to consider. There is Bailey the
moderate, the sane, the reasonable.

He Wished to Be Truthful.

The sour and surly looking visitor
called the little boy to him and took
him on his knee. 1t so happened that
at this particular time he wished to
make friends with him in order to
stand well with his parents.
81 like little boys" said the visitor.
The boy looked as if he doubted
it, but he held his peace
THAT Isl" explained the visitor, in
order that there should be no mistake.
Il like good little boys; and you're
a good little boy, aren't your"
"Wen," returned the boy cautious
", there are lot worse than me on
our street."
81 wish that you should like me,
too" persisted the visitor.
Again the boy was wise enough to
hold his peace, but he looked as if he
thought the job was a pretty big one.
The expression was not lost on the
visitor.
Don't you like me now" he asked.
The boy looked at the visitor and
sighed. Then he looked at his father
and his expression was one of great
doubt.
"Pop," he said at last, "does all that
stuff that you told me about never
telling a lie go or not?"
Then the meeting was promptly adj
tourned amid considerable confusion.

and downright robbery Proyec-
ton, according to Bailey, does that,
and hence protection is robbery
That being the case, what becomes
of the attitude of Bailey No. /? VIII
the Democratic party continue this
perversion, this downright robbery, so
as to afford protection to American
manufacturers against their foreign
competitors? 1t cannot do this, Bailey
contends, without compelling the
American citizen to pay more" ETC.,
without sanctioning and perpetuating
a downright robbery" No; that is
not what the Democratic party will do
when it gets the power to do any
thing with the tariff. 1t will recast
the tariff on purely revenue lines and
eliminate protection robbery. 1t will
reverse the existing order of things.
1t will levy a tariff on articles which
we do not ourselves produce. 1t will
levy no tariff, or, at most, very low
tariff, on articles of a competitive
character, because it will not do to
levy a tariff on such articles that will
compel our people to pay more" etc.
That is exactly what Bailey No. L
means and intends. 1t is what the
Democratic party means and intends.
obviously the cOHSeTNdliSe curve
taken by Bailey No. was an after
thought. Bailey No. 1 forgot himself
and was too radical. Bailey No. 2
toned him down. Which of the Baileys
is the real thing? No. 1, we feel sure;
the Bailey that regards protection as a
robbery, a condition to be endured
only until it can be replaced by a
Democratic tariff that will raise the
maximum of revenue with the mini
mum of protection. When the Sena-
tor from Texas gets through founder
ing and straddling on the tariff ques-
ton, when there is no longer any
danger of frightening business votes
away, then he will stand undisguised
as Bailey No. 1, Bailey the free trader.

TOOK WOMAN FROM HAREM.
Abduction Case Has Caused Sensation
in Cairo, EOypt.

III SdiTO, GSyPe'
A sensational abduction case involv-
ing a Eneal descendant of the proph-
ct Mohammed and a pair of real Arab
sheiks is reported from Cairo, In
Egypt Sheik Ali Joussef fell in love
with the daughter of Sheik ell Saddat.
The girls father, who is said to be the
sole living descendant of the prophet
Mohammed, refused his consent to the
marriage, as he did not think Ali JOus-
set was a fit person to be the hus-
band of a girl of such noble lineage.
Ali Joussef, however, abducted the
girl and placed her in his harem.
Her father appealed to the Egyptian
government, with the result that de-
tachment of armed police was dis
patched to Ali Joussef's harem. The
police made a forcible entry to the
premises and, in order to be sure that
they had taken possession of the per-
son wanted, they ordered all the fair
denizens of the harem to follow them
in a yelled procession to the house of
Sheik ell Saddat, where his daughter
was finally selected from the rest of
the women and detained.
Ali Jousself has now, it is said, be-
gun proceedings before the British au-
thorities, and has obtained the serv-
ices of an English lawyer.
