Reciprocity Juggling Added Twenty
Per Cent to the Peoples Cost of
Living-RensonnbIe Revision Will
Compel the Trusts to Reduce Their
Exorbitnnt Profits.
There are several ways proposed of
revising the tariff, for there are Re-
publicans who feel so kindly to the
trusts that they would revise the tariff
higher. That Is openly the purpose of
the Protective Tariff league, and the
plan Of authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to increase the present
high schedules in retaliation for for
eign countries raising their tariff to
keep out our goods probably emanated
from the league. Other Republicans
favor a maximum and minimum tariff
plan Which would provide a constitu-
tional way of providing for reciprocity
that is, those countries that imposed
a low tariff on u products would be
allowed to import their products at
he minimum rate, while those coun-
tries whose tariff was too high to al
low us to export to them would be met
by the maximum rate here.
That plan would be protested against
by some of the protectionists, as the
reciprocity treaties were, and as the
protected interests had influence
enough to prevent those treaties from
being ratified by the senate it would
seem that such q bill would be de-
feated by the same senator's. 1t will
be remembered that after the present
tariff bill was prepared in 1897 the
reciprocity feature was added, and the
protected interests were so powerful
with the Republican politicians that
the rate Of duties was increased 20
per cent so that the protection granted
the special interest would not be de-
creased If reciprocity treaties were
made with foreign countries, the bill
providing that the duties should not be
decreased over 20 per cent in any reci-
procity treaty. Treaties were duly ne
gotiated by the Mckinley administra-
ton, but, not having been ratified by
the senate, have never gone into effect,
so the high protective duties, with 20
per cent added, have been collected
ever since the passage of the tariff bill
in 1897.
The people of the United States,
every man, woman and child of them,
have been paying this high tariff tax
on nearly everything they consume,
and the trusts having no competition
from abroad have been vastly fostered
and fattened at the peoples expense.
To overcome this debauch of trust high
prices a reasonable revision Of the
tariff schedule is necessary. On those
trust products that the combines are
selling cheaper to the foreigner than to
our own people the tariff should be
greatly reduced or in some cases abol-
ished altogether. All the tariff taxes
should be reduced to a reasonable rate
which would compel the trusts to sell
their products at fair prices, or COM
petition from abroad, under reduced
tariff rates, would compel the trusts to
sell cheaper or lose part of the home
market.
No tariff revision that does not ac-
complish this will be permanent and
satisfactory, and reciprocity and other
lodges for reducing the tariff would
not help the American people by low
ering trust prices.

A STRONG WARNING.

M att Stapleton, mayor OF Rhine
lander, is crying out like voice In
the wilderness, warning young men
and boys against the evil Of the sa-
loon habit. Here are some extracts
his latest contribution to the Milwau-
kee Journal:
There ARE few boys growing up that know
IL but nevertheless IL IL So that young man
applying for position Of trust has to be rec
commended by at least three business men who

STREET IMPROVEME NTS.

The people OF Monroe are doing
what the people of every town ought
to do, namely: improving their
streets. Here Is an item from the
Monroe Times, which shows how they
are going about their work:
John Il. Icke, city engineer Of Madison, Is
In the city making survey Of the street
from the southwest corner OF the square 10
the Milwaukee depot for the purpose OF lay
ing IL out for merchandising lie Will also
survey two blocks at the foot OF the Illinois
Central hill which will be brought to grade
and permanently lmprov, d. Mr., ICke's work
on the streets here has been highly satisfnc-
tory, and the street committee has learned
that work left TO him Will be properly
handled
How much longer will the citizens
of Mineral Point neglect this import
ant matter? AS move towards a
real Improvement in streets, the coun-
ell ought to change the policy OF the
city In regard to tho payment OF the
cost of sidewalks and permanent street
improvements They are now all paid
for out OF the general fund. In al
most every other town In the state the
greater share Of their cost Is assessed
against abutting property. Fellow
citizens OF Mineral Point, we have
long pursued the wrong course In this
matter, and we ought to change about
Immediately.
Good streets cannot be made by
dumping loose stones and dirt on
uneven ground. 1t Is n shame for IL
progressive community to tolerate
such work on the streets. Recently
the council was petitloned to purchase
u heavy roller to be used In mac
adami2ing; but 80 far no action has
been taken In the matter.
IT the Same progressive spirit dis
played by Mineral Pointers In indi-
vidua enterprises were applied to
street work, the so.called cutters on
High street would be pulled up ut
once and n proper cement curb and
gutter laid along both sides Of the
street for its entire length, Besides,
there are many resident sections Of
the city which would petition for such
curb and cutters and macadami2ed
streets If each section were only re-
CURED to pay for It's own improve
mcnts As it Is now, with everybody
expecting the work done at the OK
pcnse of the entire city, the little inn
provements which are made each year
are generally offset by the loss Incl
dent to rainfalls and general wear
and tear. Counclmen, take up this
matter ut once Don't put 1t off until
next year. There will be n great deal
of this kind of work to do next
season, oven If all that II Is possible
TO do il done now Give the town
better streets, and IL will be To your
lasting credit.
A very wrong impression prevails
among many Of our citizens, namely:
that the steep grades augment the
work of improving and keeping in
repair our streets. ltoadmnkers of
great experience who have looked the
town over say that the reverse Is the
case, that II great deal of the engin-
eoring usually required to secure
proper drainage has been done 10y
nature here; which fact, together with
the abundance OF good material vt
hand, makes the work comparatively
easy.
