If the tariff tax paid was the
end of the matter there would be
the satisfaction of knowing that
the tax went to the support of
the government and could be
evaded by refusing to purchase
imported goods. But the trusts
and combines that control the
production Of similar articles
made in this country, are pro-
tected by those high tariff du-
ties in adding to the price at
which they sell, nearly as much
extra profit as the tariff tax
would be on the imported goods.
So the American consumer. who
cannot afford to buy imported
goods, is still obliged to pay
nearly as much tax to the trusts
and combines as he would pay
to the government. If the tar
if was reduced the trusts would
have to reduce their profits in
proportion, or the people would
buy the imported goods. This is
why the Democrats believe in re-
vising the tariff, so that through
competition, or the fear of it, the
trusts would have to reduce their
prices to a reasonable profit.

No attraction booked here this season will receive a more hearty welcome than Denman Thompsons famous play, "The Old Homestead. Remarkable, indeed, has been its history. Developed from a one-act sketch twenty years ago it was first produced at the Boston theatre. It at once jumped into popular favor. The quaintness, the homely manners, the genu- inc humor and the real pathos appealed to the public. and for a fifth of a cen tury it has steadily retained its hold on the affections of theatregoers. and today 1t stands as one of the most remarkable American stage products that we have. Opinions may differ as to its quality as a play, but no one questions it's virtues as an entertainment, clean, wholesome and elevatng. 'The Old Homestead" will be at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and tonight.
