TARIFF FOR
tn, Ideal Condition For Southern
f. Planters and nrmer

lnerc is no crop raised in the south
ern states that is protected by the tar
iii from foreign competition except a
little sugar and rice. There is a tariff
tax on tobacco, but it does not protect
the grower, for, like wheat and corn,
the price is fixed by the export de-
mand, there being Il surplus raised of
all those products which must be sold
In the markets of the world in CONNIE
tition with other countries which also
raise a surplus. The price of these
products for home consumption is,
therefore, largely fixed by what the
surplus exported will bring. Cotton,
the money crop of the south. is on the
free list, and there is absolute free
trade in that staple.
But everything the southern planter
buys is protected by the tariff and is
taxed from % to 175 per cent, which
prevents most people from buying the
Imported goods on account of this tariff
tax being added to the price the i'm
ported goods cost abroad. The trusts
n combines that manufacture similar
goods here AXE advantage of their tar
III taxation and add to the profits they
charge for their products nearly what
the tariff tax would be on the imported
articles over and above what would be
a fair profit. SO the American consum-
er, be he planter or whoever he is. is
compelled to pay he trusts and corpo-
rations pretty nearly the same tax that
would be paid on the imported goods,
the difference being that instead of the
and corporations collect it in increased
profit.
AS some of the border southern states
elected Republicans to represent them
in congress, the voters must have been
led to believe that the protective tariff
was an advantage to them and that
trust high prices were a blessing in
disguise. But with wheat. corn, tobac-
co and cattle all protected by the tariff
n yet selling at a low price, while
cotton, entirely unprotected, is selling
at a fairly good price, the Republican
argument that the tariff protects the
planter and farmer is shown to be but
campaign talk and not borne out by
actual conditions. The ideal condition
for the planter and farmer is to have
the unobstructed right to sell in the
dearest market and buy in the cheap
est market. That "a only be brought
about by the Democratic plan Of a tar
if for revenue only to produce enough
money to run the government when
honestly and economically admins
tered.

POOLING THE VOTERS.
Promises to Revise the Tariff Again
Broken by Republicans.

The trusts and tariff protected cor
porations are in high glee at the turn
political events have taken by the con
centration of public opinion upon rail
0 a rate legislation. Mr.. Payne, the
Republican leader in congress and
chairman OF the committee on ways
and means, which controls all revenue
legislation, has declared in a signed
statement that there will be no tariff
Dill reported ut this session of con-
gress. This Republican stand pat pol
Icy was agreed to last fall by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Speaker Cannon,
and the personnel Of the committee of
ways and means was selected by
Speaker Cannon, so that a majority
were ardent protcctionists. Thus those
Republican voters who favored the re-
vision Of the tariff that fosters trusts
and allows them to charge plundering
profits were again fooled after voting
for many Republican candidates for
congress who promised to vote to re-
wise those tariff schedules that protect
ed the trusts, prevented competition
and allowed the trusts to sell cheaper
abroad than here.
When those Republican congressman
who were pledged to tariff reform
elected Mr.. Cannon as speaker of the
house and adopted rules hat gave him
~autocratic power over legislation they
knew they were selling out their con-
%stituents to the protected monopolies
and giving the party machine the pow
er to defeat or pass such legislation as
it pleased.
The same conditions will obtain at
the election next fall. and the question
Is, Can the voters be fooled again to
vote for Republican candidates for
congress who will go on standing
pat and let the trusts continue to
plumber the consumers? Promises of
Republican candidates are Of no avail
unless the pledge is given to keep out
OF caucus and vote for a speaker who
will agree to give tariff revision the
right Of way. That Mr.. Cannon will
never accede to, for he is an ardent
protectionist. The membership of the
next congress will be more evenly di-
vided between the parties, and the re-
suit in any district may determine
which party shall control. The trusts
and corporations will pay money to
the Republican campaign fund With
the understanding that their interests
are to be protected, but none but the
voters themselves will furnish funds
or efforts for the election of the Demo
cratic candidates. That alone should
be their recommendation to independ-
ent voters if they measure up, as they
should, to the Jeffersonian require
mentS of ability and honesty.

Ship Subsidy and Labor.

measure. But noV comes President

WAITING.
Kansas Roads Playing Postum Until
Excitement Subsidies.

The railroad rate on oil from Kansas
points to eastern points was arbitrarily
raised by the traffic managers of diff
ferent railroads at st. Louis in June.
1901, from 10 cents to II cents a hun
dred pounds. and yet the railroad at
torneys declare that rates have not
been appreciably increased. This was
brought out at the hearings before the
interstate commerce commission at
Kansas City q short time ago. and evil
dence was also given by the general
freight agent of the Atchison. Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad that Mr.. Bo-
gardus, traffic manager of the Stand
ard Oil company, was at the meeting
of the traffic managers that raised the
rate. MI. Koonts. the railroad agent.
also testified in reply to the question,
"Why has there been no assault by the
railroads upon the Kansas rate?' by
replying that:
Largely in Difference to public senti-
ment the officials of the Santa Fe and.
l think. Of other Kansas roads. think
that the Kansas rates would have been
contested long before this. but in view
Of the agitation and inf1amed condition
Of the public mind the policy of the
railroads has been to submit quietly to
the unreasonable rates forced upon
them by the legislature Of Kansas"
There has, has there not" asked MI.
Morrow, been a great deal of agita-
ton, both in the press. at political meet
ings and in n way and another?"
Eyes. and because of this the railroads
decided to submit for the present."
So the railroads are playing possum
and waiting for the barking dogs to
depart before resuming their unreasCn-
able rates. The Democratic plan of
regulating rates by law is therefore the
only pertinent relief, and voters must
continue to agitate until that is ac-
complished.

The tobacco trust reports its profits
at $2,907, $50 more than last year. The
surplus, after deducting $9,9SS,99O for
bonds purchased and $S,04S,4SO for div
idends on American Tobacco stocks,
was $25,GS5,9 61. This trust is protect
ed by the tariff and aims to monopolize
the whole business Of tobacco manu-
featuring and has been fostered in so
doing by special rebates from the rail
roads, which have helped it to wipe out
competitors. There has been but little
effort made by the administration to
curb this trust, which may perhaps be
accounted for by it's liberal subscrip-
ton to campaign funds of the Repub-
lican party.

England Wants Fair Treatment.

Great Britain, which has Il very low
tariff on imports. and that only Oh
eleven articles. contends that she
should participate in the privileges
granted to other countries under the
Dingley act in return for the reciprocal
concession she has made on similar
representations to other countries
granting the most favored nation treat
ment. Great Britain also takes the
ground that having no protective tariff.
her tariff being specifically for revenue
only, she Of all countries should be
favorably treated commercially by the
United States. What do the stand pat
tiers say to that? Do they want to
force Great Britain to build up a tariff
wall against our products, or will they
down off their high stand pat
perch?

adopted a platform at their recent con-
ventiOn which contained this and moth
ing more: "Resolvcd. That we leave

in league With the trusts and combines,
but the voters have been kicking vigor-
ously for reform. 1t is only the other
day that the whole state was up in
arms about the Standard Oil trust and
the unreasonable railroad rates, vet
these Republican politicians resolve
that eve leave we'll enough alone"
Yes, leave the trusts, the railroads, the

public grafters alone. They pay the
Doodle to the campaign fund, and the
Republican politicians Of Trego coun-
ty handle their share of it, and they, Of
desire to be let alone, but the
taxpayers and the shippers and the
