rice, beer, watch movements and
mica. On all these the duties paid
for exceeded 100 per cent.
Mr.. Williams introduced a bill
at the beginning of the present
Congress to amend the tariff law,
so that no rate of duty, adding the
specific rate per pound or yard, to
ad valorem rate on the value of the
goods in the country from which
exported, should exceed 100 per
cent. He did not expect the bill
to pass hnt to show the people of
the country that the Republican
majority of Congress refuses to
even consider such palpable plund-
ering of the people, which evident
ly will continne until the voters
see it is to their interest to elect 2

III the tariff tax paid was the
end of the matter there would
be the satisfaction of know.
ing that the tax went to the>sup
port of the government and could
be evaded by refusing to purchase
imported goods. But the trusts
and combines that control the pro-
duction of similar articles made in
this country, are protected by those
high tariff duties in adding to the
price at which they sell, nearly as
mnch extra profit as the tariff tax
would be on the imported goods.
SO the American consumer, who
canuot afford to buy imported
goods, is still obliged to pay near
ly as much tax to the trusts and
combiues as he would pay to the
government. If the tariff was re-
duced the trnsts would have to re-
duce their profits in proportion, or
the people would bny the imported
goods.
That is why the Democrats be-
lieve in revising the tariff, so that
through competition, or the fear of
it, the trusts would have to reduce
their prices to reasonable profit.
Uncle Joe Cannon is having all
he can do to hold the Republican
colts Of the House of Representa-
tives and prevent them from kick
ing over the traces. On the other
hand the Democrats are working
together for the good of the whole
country and the benefit of united
aud victorious Democracy

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN SCANDAL.

The exposure of the scandal O.
the shameful doings of our Con
su!s in the East is further proof ot
the degeneracy of Republican pol
itlcians. When President Roose.
welt appointed these counsels on the
accommodation Of Republican
Senators and Representatives. he
knew they were political strikers
for those Republican leaders. He
was on notice that they were most
ly grafters or the Republican pol
ltlcianS wOnld not be urging them
for appointment. The only palIia-
ton for the Administration is that
Mr.. Pierce, Assistant Secretary of
State, was detailed to make a spe-
clal investigation of the Consular
Service in the East, and his private
report made to the President and
lately called for by the Senate ex-
poses the scandals. Some of these
cOnsulS are stated to be drunkards.
others grafters-men who accepted
office merely to fill their own pock.
cts legally or illegally.
The President has, no doubt, en-
deavored to cleanse and improve
the service by forcing the resigna-
tion of some of the grafters for "the
good of the SERVICE" but many
worthless incumbents still remain.
'While there haa been much prog
ress," says the New York Post,
"there are many consuls who do
not reflect credit on the country.
There was the one at Coburg, for
instance, who turned the consulate |
into disreputable resort and made
every exporter contribute a "sam-
ple' for use in furnishing the con-
sulate, or to be disposed of for the
benefit of the consul's pocket.
Careful investigation would have
shown the mans unftness for office
before his appointment. The State
Department removed him for the
good of the service, but Mr..
Roosevelt, in the eyes of the Co
added intained unenviable
lotoriety by trying to defraud the
State of Pennsylvania when serv-
ng in its Legislature, andwho was
denounced by the Cover
Tor. There are plenty of othol
Iases on record in which the Presi
lent or the State Department con-
lived at the appointment OF unfit
men,"
Their records and the disgrace
hey have brought on the country,
make the ears of every American,
when travelling abroad, tingle with
he remarks, of foreigners, who
,oint to the official representatives
,f this country as typical citizens
u the United States The demor-
llization of the Republican politi-
,ians seems ubiquitous, yet there
ire plenty of honest Republicans
who would do us credit but they
,eem to have no chance in the race
'or Office as they do not generally
belong to the political machine.

THE TARIFF TAX.
BY W alter Parker


Republicans refuse to consider
the bill TO emf the tariff all over 10C
per cent A partial list Of articles
on which the tax exceeds that rate :
That the present tarln tax on
many articles exceeds 100 per cent,
Of thsir cost, although it has been
denied by Speaker Cannon and
other Republicans that should
know better, was conclusivelv
shown by Hon. John Sharpe Will
llams, the Democratic leader, in q
speech in the House Of Representa-
tlves on March 9th. He enumerat-
ed the following articles on which
the dnty is greater than 100 per
cent: Chalk, such as tailor's,
billiards, lead and French LOG per
cent duty. There were $34 900
worth of importations and the duty
paid was 5000
On boracic acid, which is an art
icle of ordinary use, two of the
greatest borax. mines of the world
being in this country, the duty is
122 per cent. We imported $780,
900 worth and paid a duty.
On tamic acid or tannin, the duty
is 103 per cent.
On nitric spirits of ether, $50
per cent duty; on sulphuric ether,
236 per cent duty; cotton duck,
over s square yards to the pound,
III per cent duty.
Manufacture of cordage, cables
of fiber of seven lea yarns, los per
cent duty; another size 12S per
cent; still another, $50 per cent;
a fourth, 23G per cent, and fifth, |
300 per cent. As a matter of course
We did not import any cordage of
that kind, because the duty is so
high.
Gill netting, five lea yarns, l04
per cent Even with the duty
ere were 81 $50 worth imported,
and the duty paid upon this was
81, $40. -
"FireeESafkers,, I ~. surely the
little children 0ugh, not to be taxed

Fourth of Jnly, l16 per cent.
"Cheap spectacles" that the poor
people wear, 1l6 per cent.
Common window glass, which is
the kind ordinarily used, "a by 80,
107 per cent duty. We imported
$55, 900 worth, and the duty paid
was $4,000. Size "a by Sc, 125
per cent duty; there were $50, 900
worth Of imports and $S5, 900 was
the duty paid. Size 80 by 40,
120 per cent duty above 40 by so,
265 per cent duty.
hooking glasses, "a by 80, 130
per cent.
Plate glass, "a by 60, l42 per
cent duty.
Pocket knife blades, 103 per cent
duty.
Stocks for double barreled guns,
3S9 per cent duty.
But not content with this evidence
of some of the great burdens and
of the present Republi-
can tariff law, Mr.. Williams added
a list of actual importations with |
the appraised value of the same by |
the custom house authorities and |
the specific and ad valarom duties
collected. 1t would take too much |
space here to give all the details of |
the description, the cost and the |
amount of the compound duties
paid on each importation, bnt il
can be fonnd in the Congressional
Record OF March 6, 1906 on page |
3507. The articles include WOODEN
and cotton faGnels, dress goods, |

sThe right of women to vote at the

OF much recent controversy. There new
er was any question but that the right
ought to. be given by law,
81 advised the state superintendent

der the present law, such right was not
given: Many able attorneys think,
