and we have always adhered to tho
view expressed by Mr.. Taft. Our OBJ
lection to the principle upon which the
protective tariff is based is that 1t Is
levied not for revenue only, but for the
purpose Of helping American trusts to
swell their profits at the expense OF
the home consumer. and we do not see
how Mr.. Taft can reconcile his view
Of the income tax and the inheritance
tax with his advocacy of a protective
tariff tax. Under the operation of the
protective tariff the protected indus
tries in the United states are enabled
to levy a tax upon American consum-
ers It is a mischievous perversion of
the taxing power of government, and
cannot be justified by any Democratic
principle or precept. The Standard OIL
Company has been roundly abused by
ministration for selling oils in foreign
lands at a lower price than 1t sells In
America, yet 1t is we'll known that
every protected industry in the United
States does precisely that thing. II
the practice is to be condemned in a
corporation which is not protected b.
tariff tax. how much more is the gov
ernmenl to be condemned for protect
ing other Industries which are guilty
of the same charge?
All taxation should be for revenue
only. But aside from this, we denounce
every attempt of the government to
limit enterprise by taxation or by any
other means. Place q limit upon the
amount of money that man may hon
estly accumulate. and as soon as he
has reached the limit no matter how
useful he may be, you take away from
him all incentive to further endeavor
in the business world and rob the ma
ton of his services. 1t is a false prin-
ciple and a bar to progress. 1t Is
communistic and un-American, and
should never be tolerated in this land
of personal liberty,

A NAMING TO SHIPPERS.

The following statement has been
given out by the Standard Oil Company
The directors of the Standard Oil
surance of the company's absolute in
nocence of wrongdoing in any of the
prosecutions lately instituted against
it in the Federal courts. Particularly
is this so in the recent Chicago and
Alton Railroad case. This is no case
of rebate or discrimination, but simply
of the legality of a freight rate. The
verdict was obtained upon the most
hair splitting technicalities, aided b
rigorous exclusion of evidence that
would have removed all presumption
of guilt If the Judgment in question
be allowed to stand the company will
be forced to pay 100000 for every chr
load carried over the Alton road in
two years at an open six-cent rate, a
rate used over three competing roads
for from ten to fourteen years"
This is question of fact to be set
tied in court, and in spite of popular
prejudice against the Standard OF
Company, il 1t can establish its claim
the fine will be RENTED. But there is
a point involved In which all shippers
are vitally Interested When the gov
eminent fixes the rate the shipper mus
be sure that every freight bill which
he pays is the legal rate, or subjec
nor the railroad can plead Ignorance
for If such plea were allowed, i
would open the way to all manner o
rebates. Both shippers and railroad
agents must be on their guard.

that in the main he is in sympathy

And the dog In the yard and the bird on

Arc happy again for the coming OF him,
And the breezes blow sweeter than ever

And the sky seems brighter than ever be-

And the world is place in which troubles
are few.

He has rolled on the grass. he has played
in the hay,
His muscles arc strong and his laughter is

IIs has heard the wind passing through
acres OF corn;
Ho has plucked the sweet ears and is glad
he was born;
And the breezes blow sweeter than ever
they blew.
And the sky seems brighter than ever be-

And the world is place in which troubles
