RECORD OF THE DEMOCRATS
What Revision Of the Tariff Under
That Party's Rule Brought
About.

There is one sure way to get the
tariff revised. Even the Republican
revisionists know well what II is. II
is nothing more or less than voting
the Democratic ticket. Here's predict
ing that II Massachusetts, would elect
a Democratic governor and a majority
Of Democratic congressman for the
next three or four years the tariff
would be revised in a hurry, even by
its friends. The way to get some
thing in this country is to vote for
it rather than NOPE for IT, The ballot
was made for exactly such a purpose.
There is only one way to revise the
tariff-yote the Democratic ticket. the
wicked Democratic ticket. II beats
the world as a protest.-Springneld
Republican.
Supposing all Of which to be true,
then of course history would repeat
itself, and history is always illuminat-
ing and instructive. A majority OF
the people voted the Democratic ticket
in 1892 and they got revision Of the
tariff by the congress they elected.
The first voters Of 1906 were not old
enough In 1S93-1s97 70 realize fully
what Democratic tariff revision meant
and would mean now. It's a long
story, a cruel story, but story with
which the new voters should famil-
iarize themselves before they cast
their ballots next November. Then,
there is the story of 1874 and the tar.
IFS Of 1876 and 1857. The history Of
that time is much like the history OF
1892 and the tariff OF 1894. IN
doubtedly the Republican is right
when it says the way to get the tariff
revised is to vote the Democratic
ticket-that is, for a majority to vote
II. But the more voters study his
tory the less inclined will they be TO
vote that ticket. The fact is, says
the American Economist. that only
few politicians, doctrinaires and self
ism people want the tariff revised. The
large majority of our farmers, our
laborers, our manufacturers. our mer-
chants and people In general are per-
fectly satisfied with the tariff as II is.
And incidentally II might be said that
Massachusetts,, even by going Demo
cratic, cannot make a tariff for the
other states. She would do better to
remain Republican and protectionist

The work OF the forest service in
gathering statistics Of forest products
for the last year has furnished the
basis for a provisional statement OF
the wood consumed in the manufac-
ture Of paper pulp. Returns from 1853
firms, controlling 232 pulp mills. give
over 100000 cords as the total
amount Of wood used. The wood used
was divided among the various proc
esses as follows: Sulphite, 1,53s,O00
cords; soda, 10000 cords; ground
wood, 1.O6s,000 cords. The total pulp
production by all processes by the
firms reporting was 100000 tons.
According TO the census of 1900. the
consumption of pulpwood was then

after shall be dismissed from the service.

general order No. II, in relation to the
matter. 1t sets forth:
1.-THE government printing office will take
no cognizance of a debt complaint against
an employee so far as the creditor is con-
cerned, beyond acknowledging the receipt
of his communication.
while this Office will not permit itself
to be used as a collection agency, 1t will
not harbor any employee who contracts
debt on the strength Of his official position
and then, without sufficient excuse, ne
elects to make payments.
Upon receipt of debt complaint it shall
be referred to the proper chief of division
for report in writing from the employee
concerned, which, together with notation
of the conclusions reached by the public
printer in the matter, shall be made part
of the official record in his case.
