WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPT. IL, 1905.

WHEN THE present tariff act was I'M
der consideration in the House OF Rep
rssentatiyes in 1897, Mr. Diugley, who
was the chairman of the ways and means
committee. said the schedules were pur-
posely placed too high, in order to leave
a safe margin for reciprocity treaties
that we're intended to be made and for
which the Diugley bill provided. But
now comes Speaker Cannon and de-
clares ~ have no hesitation In say
ing that the present revenue law known
as the Dingley law, all things consider
ed, is the most nearly perfect and just
customs law ever enacted" Consider
ing that the trusts and combines are pro-
tected by the 20 per cent. extra that Mr.
Dingley admitted was ''purposely placed
too high" and that the republican leaders
have refused to rstify the reciprocity
treaties negotiated by President Nc
Kinley, it must be confessed that Mr..
Caunon's statement is extraordinary.
This is carrying the standpat position to
the verge of defending the plundering OF
the people for the benefit of the trusts
and combines and allows them in the
future, as in the past, to extort such an
unreasonable profit, that the cost OF liv-
ing has advanced AZ per cent. since the
Dineley act became law. And yet
10 spite of this Speaker Cannon and the
other republican leaders have agreed that
if they control the next Congress there
shall be no tariff revision. Will the
voters, when they elect congressman and
and legislatures November 6 next, en-
dorse the republican leaders in this at
tempt TO continue trust protection and
resulting high pricesY
