PRICE OF LEATHER RAISED.
Tariff Protected Beef Barons Are
Squeezing the People.

Tariff Protected Beef III Are
Squeezing the People.
The great advance in the price Of
leather has been naturally followed by
an increase in the wholesale price Of
shoes until now those necessities are
20 to 25 per cent higher than a couple
Of months ago. "The increased price
Of raw material is the cause, and sole
leather that sold for % cents a year
ago is now 40 cents" The same au-
thority says, "Kid shoes seem to be
the only kind not affected" That state
ment shows that the tariff is the pri-
mary cause of this advance, for kid
and goat skins are on the free list,
whereas hides Of cattle, from which
sole leather is manufactured, are taxed
under the tariff Is per cent ad valorem
and when tanned 20 per cent. On skins
manufactured into patent leather the
tax is 80 cents a pound and 20 per
cent ad valorem.
So the beef combine, which controls
the hide and sole and calf leather mar
ket, has advanced prices because 1t Is
protected by the tariff in so doing, but
the tanners of kid leather, who have
free raw material, goat and kid skins
being on the free list, have evidently
not advanced the price of the leather
they produce.
If you are willing to pay higher prices
for boots and shoes vote for Republic
an congressman who stand pat on con-
tinuing to protect the beef combine and
other trusts. If you feel that the high
cost Of living is getting beyond your
ability to pay, you will be forced to
the conclusion that the Democratic
| plan Of revising the tariff is the best
policy, so that protection for trusts will
be eliminated or reduced. A vote to
elect Democratic senators and con
gressmen who will revise the tariff and
stop this plundering Of the people will
be the conclusion Of any sensible voter
who will take the time to investigate
the tariff and trust problem.

A GREAT
Political Events All Favoring the
Democrats.

Political Events All Favoring the
Democrats.
1t must be a great satisfaction to
Democrats to find so many Republic
ans coming over to the side of the PEG
pie and against the monopolists. The
Democratic contention that the tariff
law now on the statute books is rob-
berry in many Of it's schedules is in
dorsed by numerous Republicans, some
Of whom are congressman. The posi-
ton taken In the last national platform
for railroad rate regulation was in
dorsed by practically all the house of
representatives, and only the senate
and the railroad officials and their at
torneys appear to now openly oppose
such righteous legislation. On other
important matters that require legis-
lation the trend is all toward what the
Democrats have long contended for,
and the result Of the late elections
shows that the independent voters who
have had a fair opportunity to decide
on the tariff, OF railroads, on over
throwing bosses and political corrup-
ton are protesting against Republican
ism of the kind that has been purveyed
to them by the Republican bosses.
That the people at the coming con-
gressional elections will turn the ras-
Gals out" is a %foregone conclusion if
the Democrats take time by the fore
lock and nominate early in the year the
best candidates possible. 1t requires
considerable time for a candidate to
| get over a district and show himself to
the voters and inform them just how
he views the political issues. The Re-
publican candidates have a great ad-
vantage in nearly every close district
by being in congress and having time
and stenographers and postage fur
nished them by the government to
keep in touch with their constituents.
This handicap on the Democratic can
didates cannot be overcome in the usu-
nj two months given to the campaign;
therefore the necessity Of early nomi-
nations and a thorough organization Of
the districts and counties. The trend
is all to the Democrats. The people see
they are sincerely working for reforms
and will intrust them with power If
they will take advantage of the errors
and corruption Of their opponents.

The Republican Slump.

The Republican leaders are trying to
explain how the slump in their political
fortunes happened. Some Of them seem
to have had their eyes opened to the
fact that the people are insistent for
reform in city, state and nation, but
Speaker Cannon and those who control
congress still declare they will stand
pat. Perhaps when the avalanche
strikes them next fall their eyes will
be opened.

Much interest was shown in the peas

by the Norwegian National club Of
Minneapolis. It appeared that the cos
tunes were too gaudy and fancifM to

were imported from Norway and that
they were the real thing. At any rate,
the dancers made a pretty picture as
they moved in graceful measures to
the melody Of their own voices. This

many of the people remained until
