FALSE PRETENSES, AS USUAL.

There is no room TO doubt that
the republicans ieel very nervous
about the result OF the congress
sional elections, aud they are eager
to lay hold of some issue on which
they can fairly hope to win. Re-
garding the president as the most
popular man in bis party, they are
diffusing the idea that the election
OF a democratic house would be a
serious blow TO President Roose-
welt. In view of the fact that hi,
most prominent measures received
their best support from the demo
Gratis, this plea is false aud hypo
critical, but Il now seems TO be the
best that the leaders can devise.
II is well known, too, that many
of these leaders are already very
tired Of Mr.. Roosevelt and willing
to thwart his designing whenever
they dare.
Another false pretense 10 that
corporations are not going to give
anything to the republicans, 30 an
appeal i. made 10 the seven or
eight millions OF the rank and file
to contribute a dollar each. In
this way it is hoped three or four
millions may be collected. When
these contributions are all in, the
corporations that favor the repub-
licans will supplement them with
large donations, and a great cor
ruption fund will thereby be Great.

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS

a letter has just reached us from the

SEVENTY IONS IN
CREASED PROFITS.

How the trusts and combines are
pluudering the American people Is
shown by the enormous profits made
this year by the Steel Trust. Every
one pays their share OF this vast toll
that this gigantic combination takes
from the grist run through the hopper.
"On March 3, 1891" says the New
York World, lust before the party of
high prices took possession of the gov
erument, and there was no Steel
Trust, American steel rails were selling
in the market at SIS to $50 per ton.
Foreigners can still get them for that,
but Americans have to pay the trust
at the rate of S2S, an increase of from
40 10 90 per cent. The trust has MAIN
tanned the S23 rate for home customers
without variation since it was organ
lied, representing a net increase of
profits Of over $4,000, 0OO,above a nor.
mai amount for that time. And Mr..
Morgan enthusiastically islands patti
for the retention in power ofan admin
istratiou that stands for so much pros
perity."
DO not imagine that because you
have no railroad stock, or even if YOU
never rode on steam or street railroad
that the price of steel rails does not
affect your pocket In fact everything
you buy is advanced in price by the
freight that is charged for we cannot
expect low railroad rates and expen-
sive railroad construction. Then lust
think of the large number of articles
OF steel or iron that you daily use, all
of which are greatly increased in price
by the extra toll that the Steel Trust
takes, because the protection from
competition the tariff gives the trust
allows it to extort these high prices.
This toll is nearly $40 year from each
family, from this one trust and there
are lS6 of them protected by the tariff
in like manner.

THE TARIFF AND COST OF
LIVING G.

1t is impossible for the Republicans
to disguise the fact that the trust
era is synchr nous with the present
tariff law, which 30 lavishly protects
those sp cial interests al the expense of
the American people No one ever
heard of our manufacturers selling
their products abroad cheaper than at
home until the tariff " as increased be-
You'd the high rates of the Mckinley
Bill, puipo=ely protect the manufact
urers from foreign competition. There
were some trusts before 1897, but they
were feeble infants compared to hose
vast combines that now control our
markets. There are now les trusts
that enjoy direct tariff benefits, and
there are IS other trusts that are ben
Gifted to some extent. To these giant
corporations must b. att'ibutei the
enormous Increase in prices, through
the protection grated them in the
tariff Jaw, so that the cost of living, ac-
cording to Duna's index figures, which
are publ shed in the United States
statistical Abstract, 1905, page SAL,
shows that in Ju y 1897. the necessasy
articles consumed on the average by
each individual cost S72 IS, whereas on
January l, 1905, those figures had it,

A REPUBLICAN MESS.

the German Ambassador has delivered
au ul'imatum to the State Department
on the tariff ISSUE aud threatens that if
the Germans are not given reciprocal
tariff privileges to snnul the favored
nation" tariff treatment to this coun-
try. That would place exports from
the United States on the maximum
basis which is virtually prohibitive
and would shut out our products from
tie German markets.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH
OUR ICE COMPANY?

There are many rumors in circula-
ton about our ice company. The con-
sumers are by no means satisfied with
their treatment. In many places there
have been serious charges against the
ice companies. The grand juries have
even been called upon to look after the
violations Of the law. In this COM
munity we are all living off of each
other, and there should be no:cause for
elimination or recrimination. Il If
consumer buys ten or fifty pounds of
ice, he should get that amount in fair
and honest weight, and we can hardly
believe that there is cause for so much
OF the talk that seems pretty general
at this time. The same may be said
about the farmers wheat. He is Ger.
tainly entitled to be paid for an honest
count of bushels or an honest weight.
so with his corn. If he brings one
hundred pounds of corn he should
have an honest return, and no com.
pany can afford to indulge in light
weights for the sake of a few dollars.
1t Is bound to be known. Like murder
1t will not down. Some one at some
time will tell how the short weights
were worked upon the people.

REGULATING RAILROADS.

The Canadians have gone long
way ahhead of this country in regu-
lating railroads, the Canadian Com
mission having been granted all the
power necessary to prevent unjust DIS
elimination or extorlionate rates. One
of the great reforms that the Cana
dams have accomplished is tie pre-
vention of ST, ok wa ering, so that the
people shall not be made TO pay tribute
on bogus stock as the people Of ;he
United States are compelled to do.
Our Harrimans, the Morgans, and
Nanderbilts and Cassatts and the other
manipulators that have issued ficli-
tions stock from their Wall Street dens
must be made to disgorge The rail.
road question like the Trust and Tariff
issue will never be settled until Justice
is done and we have only just entered
the opening wedge on regulating the
great highways of the nation.

DEMOCRATS WANTS DOL.
LARS TOO.
Chairman Griggs Calls on
Every Voter to Subscribe.

The Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee is adopting
the same course begun by Chair.
man Sherman, of the Republican
Committee by calling on all mem
bers of the party to send in 81
subscriptions to the campaign
fund in which they are in urgent
need.
The committee is sending out a
circular to the 80 600 Democrats
IN all parts of the country. aud
the result of this method of rails.
ing money is watched with un.
usual interest. Many Democrats
have been inclined to make light
of Chairman Sherman's subscrip.
lions declaring that their purpose
has been merely to draw off
attention from larger contribu.
lions from the trusts. But for
several weeks the idea that Mr..
Sherman's plan has been proving
a success has grown. 1t is de.
ciared that in the past, when it
was known that corporations or
rich men were contributing very
literally to campaign funds. the
ordinary voter did not feel inclin-
ed to contribute anything more
than his ballot. Many of them
felt that their contribution was
so small that it was of no con.
sequence, anyway. Now it is
said that the word is being pass
ed about over the Congressional
Districts that the fund must be
raised in small amounts of 81.
and the responses are more gen.
eral than they have ever been
before.
In the circular which is being
sent out by Chairman Griggs. #
is declared that if the Demo.
cratic party is to win a victory
and elect President in 1908 thew
must first elect a House of Rem
resentatives this fall.
"a Democratic House." saws
Mr.. Griggs. "can and will inves.
tigate every department of the
government. With all of these
honeycomed with gratis, the
edges of which have been touch.
ed by recent exposures and pros.
ecutions, there will be a revela.
ton of rottenness that will as.
found the country and create a
demand for a Democratic admin.
istrat ton to clean out the govern
ment workshop. To win the
House we need money to defray
expenses to get out votes. We
have no protected monopolies
from which to fill our Golfers. as
they do those of the Republican
party. We must, therefore. an.
peal to loyal Democrats for con.
tributions."
