Shall Restitution of Funds Misused
BE orthcOmi


Proceedings have been commenced
In the circuit court at Akron, O., to
cancel the franchises held by the Mu-
tual Life Insurance company and the
New York Life Insurance company to
do business in that state. The court is
asked to appoint receivers ito take
charge of all Of the funds collected rs
premiums paid by policy holders Of the
two companies in the state and that
the receivers collect all premiums due
and hold the funds in trust.
ut is alleged that the companies have
during the past five years misused
their franchises, now hold contracts
that are in direct violation Of the in
surance laws Of this state and that
both companies in their annual state
mentS to the insurance commissioners
failed to disclose a large and SubStan-
tial amount which was contributed to
Cornelius n. Bliss, one of the mem
bers of the national Republican com
mittee. the amount of which is said to
be in excess Of 100000.
ut is also alleged that the companies
paid out under the guise Of fees $780,
600 to lobbyists to influence the legis-
lature in this state and other states
and that the funds Of the policy hold
ers in this state are being wrongfully
expended and to that extent wholly
dissipated and s%quandered for illegal,
criminal and fraudulent purposes"
The papers in the case do not allege
the payment Of money to j. w. Bah
cock, chairman Of the Republican con
gressional committee, because they
were drawn before the exposure Of
that scandal, but will perhaps be
amended to owe it. President Roose-
welt has not yet decided whether the
Republican committees shall make res
tltution to the widow and orphan fund,
although, it is said, the treasurer Of
the Republican national committee had
100000 on hand when all the expenses
Of the Roosevelt campaign had been
settled.

Honest Voters Overthrow Bosses and
Demand Reform.

The Reorganization Of the Republic
an party in spite Of its control of all
branches of the government is the most
extraordinary spectacle ever seen in
American politics. When other par
ties have become disorganized it has
been after defeat and disaster. but the

millionaire.
Party prosperity has bred tyrants-.
political bosses-to the disgust of the
rank and file.
In New York city the Republican par
ty almost disappeared as a factor in
the contest. In Pennsylvania the hon
est voters left 1t in disgust and Joined
with the Democracy in defeating its
candidates. In Ohio thousands of Re
publicans openly declared their loath-
ing of bossism. and other thousands
secretly bolted their party nominations
as a rebuke to their leaders. In Mas
~sachusetts 10000 Republican voters de-
cided against their party on the tariff
issue alone.
The partisan Republican members of
the house of representatives and the
senate will hold caucuses and try to
maintain party lines intact. but q
measure Of independence may be ex-
pected from those whose constituents
have broken down the party machine
and disorganization may prevail In con
gress also. The Republican bosses in
the senate, i%ntrenched with wealth and
power, will be more tractable. and
those who are candidates for re-elec-
ton which the legislatures elected next
year will vote for, will have to vote
for reform measures or they will be
succeeded by others who are free from
the faint Of corporation s~ubserviency.
Rejoice, o We people! The day of your

GERMAN
A Kind of Live Wire That Scares Re-
publican leaders.


President Noosevrit's new secretary
of state is handling Tho German proio-
sition for reciprocity With AS much
caution as he would Il stick of dyna-
mite. There is no doubt that it is dan
gerous, politically, TO the adlninistra-
ton to arrange 10 open our tariff door
for the admission OF German products
when Il trust controlled senate. that
has refused to ratify former r%ccipruci-
ty treaties, is still in power. The propo-
sition may be turned down to the cha
grin of our diplomats. Senator Lodge,
who had Il good deal to do with the
virtual rejection of the reciprocity
treaties negotiated by President Nc
Kinley, is being prodGed by the boot
II shoe manufacturers of his state to
help hold open the German market for
them, and he has attempted to appcase
them by agreeing to It for free hides.
his political future having forced him
to a straddle on tariff revision. The
new German tariff on boots and shoes
will be increased on March / next from
$7.02 to $19.47, and that is where the
shoe pinches the most important man
ufacturing interest IN New England
and why they are demanding tariff re-
vision and reciprocity.
A reciprocity treaty with Germany
for the benefit of the boot and shoe
manufacturers will have to admit some
German product in return OF there
would be no reciprocity. AS there are
no favored interests protected by our
tariff that will be willing to be sacri-
| feed by seeing similar German prod
uets to theirs admitted without paying
duty or at even 20 per cent discount,
how can reciprocity with Germany be
arranged without some protected in
terest losing its present advantages?
That is what Secretary Root is consid-
ering so carefully.
Those Republicans who want reel
procity will be forced to the Democrat
tc position Of a reduction of the tariff

tered. Germany and other countries
will be glad to arrange their tariff tc
meet such a fair trade proposition, but
a Democratic congress will have to be
elected before tariff revision that viii

ed, for the Republican leaders are com
bined with the trusts and protected
combines against revision. When the
voters nominate and vote for congress
men and legislators who will elect sen
ators next year they will have to de
eide upon which side of the tariff issue
they will stand.
If the voters are satisfied with the
enormous high cost of living. if they

REFORM TRiUMPHS.
Voters Rallied to the STANDARD of
Democracy.

Democracy.
The Democrats were generally sue
ccsSful at the late elections wherever
the party had declared for the reforms
the voters desire and nominated friends
of the people who were heartily in
sympathy With reform and good gov
eminent.
in some Of the states, and there is no
doubt that il Il congress had been
elected it would have shown Il Demo
cratic majority. Many Of the Republic
an voters see that their leaders and
party machines are corrupt and oppoS-
ed to the reforms that the Democratic
party stands for and that President
Roosevelt indorses, in part at least.
The people want railway rate legisla-
ton, tariff revision, popular election Of
senator's, municipal ownership, anti
pass legislation and other reforms. The
people are Disguised With the graft
and corruption of the Republican par
ty. They have an honest aversion to
Republican leaders that Used vast sums
Of tainted money to buy elections. They
are opposed to ship subsidy, which
many of the Republican leaders are
advocating. They dislike government
by injunction. They have a lively an
tipathy to the evident combination of
the Republican leaders in congress
with corporations and the Wall street
element. In fact, the independent
voter continued his raid on rings and
grating, as he did last ycar, when
voting for five Democratic governors
in otherwise Republican states.
These expressions Of the voters, if
indirect, offer plain instructions to the
Democracy to continue it's honest eff
forts for reforms and to boldly declare
what it believes to be right and thus
invite the independent voter and hon
est Republicans to join with it.
In the present congress the Demo
Gratis have no power to enact into law
the reforms above outlined, but by
standing firmly together for what the
voters have declared for or Joining
forces with reform Republicans they
will exhibit to the country an honest
party to rally around and will be in
trusted with power as far as a major
ity of the house Of representatives cal
give it to them at the next election.
Meanwhile the Democrats must or
ganize and thus be prepared to fight thu
power of money, graft and corruption
Every man can do his share toward
curbing trusts that are plundering hin
by virtue Of the Republican protectiv,
tariff that protects the combines Will,
robbing the consumers through the in
creased cost of living. Every voter cal
watch the vote of his Representative,
and senator on railroad rate Legislation
and call him to account if he fails tn
people and invite the attention of hi!
Republican neighbors to the monopo
listic tendencies of Republican con
gressInen and lay plans to defeat then
for reelection.
The tide has turned toward Denloc
racy, and what is now needed is to in
crease it to a hood that will lead on t
a complete regeneration Of the Who'll
country.

Demand Fnir Rates..

The attorneys of the Armour car
lines. aided 10y the railroad attorneys,
have deiied the Interstate commerce
commission and deny its jurisdiction to
regulate the rates charged for refriger-
ator cars. The opposition of the beef
trust magnutes and the railroad barons
to the commission is because it cannot
be bought or lullied to sell out the PEG
pie. Therefore urge your senators and
congressman to stand by the commits
sion and give 1t the necessary power to
establish II reasonable rate IN place Of
Il rate that has been decided as unrea-
Gonable.

A Failure.

The railroad corporations have for
months had their literary bureaus es-
tablished to EDUCATE the people to op
pose the proposed law to regulate rail
road freight rates. Their educational
campaign appears to have been an ut
ter failure as far as the great mass Of
the voters are concerned, for the people
are almost unanimously demanding
that the interstate commerce commits
sion be given power to regulate rates
OIL the lines laid down by President
Roosevelt.

Nothing In 1t.

The railroad stories Of enormous pur-
chases of new equipment and improve
ment Of the right of way and the predic-
ton Of disaster that will overtake the
railroads if rate legislation is passed do
not hang together. If the managers
really feared the reasonable legislation
proposed by the Democrats and Presi-
dent Roosevelt they would reserve their
funds instead of expanding so freely.

crease Under High Duties and De-
crease Under Low.
The new tariff theory of the protec-
tionists is that, "paradoXical as it may
appear, importations increase under a
high protective tariff and decrease I'M
der low tariffs for revenue
That is the declaration Of Secretary
Shaw in his speech at Youngstown, O.,
and may be taken as the protection
law and gospel until another new theo-
ry a be invented to prop up the high
tariff wall. But if the new theory was
true, would not the trusts and com
bincs, which aim to control the home
market, be clamoring for a lower tar
if? Tho protection theory has been
that the tariff rates on importations
should be so nigh that it will be un-
profitable to pay the duty, and thus
foreign products are prohibited from
entering. The new gospel, according to
Shaw, declares that high tariff in
creases importation. Why therefore do
the protectionists so persistently refuse
to reduce the tariff, which, according to
Shaw, would reduce importations and
thus give the trusts and combines a
more complete monopoly of the home
market than they nov have? They
might even twist the screw a bit tight
er and press out of a long suffering
people a few more millions Of extra
profits.
The attempt Of Secretary Shaw to
| prove this new theory by the decrease
Of imports after the passage Of the
tariff bill of 1904 and the increase of
imports under the tariff bill Of 1897 is
based on estimated averages of per
capita imports that do not agree with
the reports of his department and
throw discredit on his whole argument,
but it is only fair to state what he
says:
"For the four fiscal years prior to
the operation Of the Wilson-Gorman
law, after giving credit for the cessa-
actment and the date on which it went
into effect, we imported for consump.
ton an average Of $12.21 per capita
During the fiscal year of 1891 we i'm
ported for consumption S13.3S per cap
tia, while we imported only $9.41 pei
capita during the year Immediately be-
fore the lower rate went into effect
Still the average was 1921 for the
four years. During the next four years
giving credit for the great influx Of
goods, Immediately following the op
GRAFTON Of the lower rate, and another
influx in anticipation Of the higher
rate, we imported only $10.S1 per cap
tia, a loss of over 81 per capita"
Now, the facts as published in the
statistical abstract Of the United States
are here given with Shaw's estimates:
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1905-12-14
Imports per
Shaw estimate.

1t will be noticed that under the
Democratic tariff the amount of i'm
ports was steadily increasing, thus dis
proving MI. Shaw's new theory. The
Wilson-Gornlan act was received by
President Cleveland Aug. Is, 1894, and,
not having been returned to congress
within the time prescribed by the con-
stitution, it became a law without his
approval Aug. 2S, 1894. Whereas Mr..
Shaw says the Wilson-Gorman bill
went into effect July 1, 1894. He also
carefully skips giving any estimate for
the years 1S99-1901, when the present
Dingley law was failing to produce the
average revenue that the Wilson-Gor-
man act did.
Secretary Shaw also Intentionally OF
unintentionally deceived the people
when he claimed that the rich are pay
ing the tariff taxes on account of the
increase in the amount of luxuries in
ported. The rich pay but a small pro-
portion of the tariff tax, for under the
schedules many articles-the cheaper
goods-pay the highest percentage Of
duty, and diamonds, for instance, are
on the free list, and if cut and polish
ed only pay 20 per cent, and pearls
only pay 10 per cent ad valorem. Only
the rich or well to do buy diamonds
and pearls, and the tariff tax theys pay
is infinitesimal compared to what the
poor pay on sugar and other necessi-
ties,> which are taxed under this pres
Cnt Republican tariff from so to 100
per cent and ever higher.

Democratic Doctrine.

The newspapers OF the southern
states heartily indorse the policy Of
President Roosevelt for railroad rate
regulation, especially SO since his south
