A Canadian sergeant, for instance,
enters upon his service with a wage
of one dollar per day, which increases
according to the provisions OF the lon
gevity laws to $1.25.
The American sergeant gets $1S a
month at first, and the expenses are
larger than the Canadian non-commis-
stoned officer, because of the consider
able difference in the scale of living
and the lower tariff rates upon the
necessities of life in Canada
Even Cuba pays her soldiers three
times as much as the American pri'
vate. The Cuban rural guard gets
the pay of a New York policeman.
Other countries than these two ex-
coed America in the pay allowed their
soldiers, and data is being gotten to-
gether to make up a strong case to
demonstrate to congress that the real
reason for the lei assertions
from the American army Is not dissat-
isfaction with the hard work, or dis
like for some particular officer, nor
even the lack of a simple and well reg
ulated canteen, but the small wage
paid to the soldier compared with the
compensation in civil life.

CRAZY P~RoTscTIoNlsTs.
Would Add Fifty Per Cent to Present
Tariff Rates.

The maximum and minimum tariff
rates that the Republicans are talk.
ing Of imposing is a system copied
from the European nations, like Ger.
many and France, that are always
fighting each other. It is retaliation
pure and simple. for such q tariff no
titles the world that unless special
advantages are given for the sale OF
the products of the country imposing
such a tariff that the maximum rates
will be exacted. These highest rates
OF duty are, of course. placed SO high
that they are prohibitive on such
products as the country imposing
them can produce enough Of to supply
the wants of its own people. Compe-
tition in such products is thus abol.
ished and very naturally the prices are
advanced to all the piundered consum.
ers a afford to pay.
The proposition is now being dis.
cussed here in ardent protectionism
quarters to adopt excessive maximum
rates, and the San Francisco Chroni.
Gle goes so far as to say that, "Our
executive and congress" have been
"lost to all considerations of national
dignity" and but for this ~mollycoddle
spirit a bill would have been passed
providing: THAT the products of all
countries should continue to be adj
mitted to our ports on equal terms.
except that in case any country should
discriminate against our products
either with or without consideration,
all products of those countries should
pay so per cent more than regular
rates" The American Economist.
the subsidized organ of the tariff pro.
tected trusts and monepolists, en-
dorses this so per cent addition to
the present high tariff as maximum
tariff rates, so that it may be taken
as certain that this high tariff mania
is to be persisted in as far Is the
St~and-patter Republicans are con
cerned.
Fancy adding so per cent to the
present enormous profits of the Steel
trust and so per cent to the profits OF
the Wooden Goods trust, already pro
tected by a tariff tax averaging loo
per cent, to say nothing of the other
trusts. Is not this protectionism gone
mad? And yet that may be the outcome
if the Republican party is allowed to
elect the next president and the next
congress.

Let US not be deceived; WI are go

their power-until we begin to fight
them with the only effective means

as prohibitive tariffs exist men can
organize completely to control the

All the talk that 'the tariff will be

Gus, for it is evident that the stand

Judge Parker's Timely Warning.

The address of Judge Alton B,
Parker before the North Carolina Bar
association on July IL clearly indi
Gated that the common law principles
can solve every problem in civil life
il permitted to do so, and that the
Capitalization of power in the federal
government which is now being at
tempted will destroy the local author
ity of the states. "The campaign
against the governmental plan of the
fathers is on" said Judge Parker
and has been for several years. II
has for it's leader the most accom-
plished politician of our history. Be
hind him and backing him stand these
great corporations of the country,
which are engaged in interstate com
merce and insurance. Their reason Is
that it is easier to deal with one gov
eminent than with many"
The corruption fund of the life in
france companies which the Repub'
lican campaign managers, Cortelyou
and Bliss, solicited and received; the
acknowledged request Of President
Roosevelt to the railroad magnate
Hartman that he collect more cam
paign funds which the president de-
clared were needed in New York,
were no doubt in the mind of Judge
Parker, when he now charges that the
president is backed by the great cor
porations of the country in his effort
to centralize their control in the gen
eral government and thus release the
railroads and trusts from state laws.
AS the charge of Judge Parker, before
the election of 1904, that the corpora
tons had contributed large sums to
the Roosevelt campaign, has been
fully verified by later official disclos-
ures, although denied by President
Roosevelt; there can be no doubt
that the proof will be forthcoming in
due time of the present connection
between the corporations and the
president.
Alton b. Parker, the honest and
fearless judge, vas denied the presi
dency by the people, but those voters
who supported him must nov feel
more proud of their position than
those who voted for the winning can
didate.

A move il on foot to increase the
pay of United States soldiers and sail
ors, which was fixed more than SO
years ago, and it was expected that
when the increase is granted there
will be a rush Of recruits.
1t has been generally assumed that
Uncle Sans soldiers were by far the
best paid in the world, and that belief
has in large part been the cause OF
the failure of attempts made in the
past to secure increases in pay.
But now, in connection with the sys-
tematic preparations that are being
made to lay the subject of something
wrong in the army" before congress at
the next session it has been discover
ed that this belief is founded in error
and that several nations are much
more liberal in the treatment of their
soldiers than is the United States.
The fact will be brought to the at
tention of congress in connection
with the subject Of q general In
crease in the salaries Of both army
and navy.

band of the daughter of Mrs. John A.
Logan, who is now stationed at Chi
cago, will not be contaminated on
the charges preferred against him by
his wife.
This Is the opinion of army officers
who are familiar with the contents
of the report which has been made
after a full and careful investigation
of the charges. The inspector general
of the army has had several of his
best inspectors at work on the case,
and testimony has been sought upon

forwarded to Secretary Taft, who is
at Murray Bay enjoying a vacation.
1t Ii expected that Secretary Taft will
act upon the report before starting
for the Philippines.

ton to know the substance OF the re-

no found sufficient evidence to war

The Money Power in the Saddle.

Did you ever hear n word from
President Roosevelt against the
money power, and yet the money
power controls the trusts and the
railroads and is the power behind the
throne of all the monopolists? The
secretaries of the treasury appointed
by Mr.. Roosevelt have all given the
Wall street f%inanciers everything they
have demanded and this action has
been endorsed by him. Secretary
Shaw fell all over himself to do the
bidding of the Wall street bankers
and Secretary Corteiyou, who found
means to fry the fat out of the
frenzied fnanciers in the last cam
paign, is following in Shaw's foot
