TIE TARIFF ON HOMES.
A Republican Editor Tells How the
Trusts PIunaered Him.

A Republican Editor Tells How the
Trusts PIunaered Him.
There is one Republican at least in
Kansas who through experience has
been forced to acknowledge that the
tariff fosters trusts which plunder the
people. This man Fortunately IS an ed
itor and is evidently an honest one, for
In his paper, the Coneordia empire, he
tells his readers:
I'VE recently have completed a house
at cost of something over $4,000, and
for every foot Of lumber, every pane Of
glass, every sack Of cement, every
pound of nails and, in fact, for nearly
every bit of material that went into it
we made a good, liberal contribution
through the trusts that control them,
and we guess we have done our share.
1t may be treason for Repub-
lican newspaper to talk this way, but
facts are facts, and 1T sort of relieves
OUT conscience to tell the truth about
the trusts once in awhile. Wen just
let the trusts, to which we have had
to pay unwilling tribute In the past
year, pay our dollar for u.s. we need
It, and they don't"
Yet this honest Republican, having
paid his tax TO the trusts, which on the
$4,000 expended mast have amounted
to many hundreds of dollars, seems
still willing to allow hrs netghboss to
be pfundered la HE manner, for he
does not deneunee this trust plunder-
Ing as robbery nor demand that the Re-
publican candidate for congress in his
district be pledged to keep out Of the
congressional caucus and to vote to re-
wise the taFaff 1t Is true he refuses to
contribute a dollar to the Republican
campaign fund, evidently feeling that
he is doing enough to perpetuate the
trust piundering by supporting the can
didates of the G.. o. p.
II this editor would investigate con
dEions In his town. county and state
be would discover how few citizens are
benefited by the tariff and, being an
agricultural community, how many
pay tariff taxes to the trusts on nearly
everything they buy, not by any means
confined to materials for building.
Still he is shining light compared to
most other Republican editors, who,
knowing the same facts, dare not dis
close them to the Republican voters
for fear it would hurt the party
