MINE CONDITIONS AND PRICES

CORRESPONDENT Of the Copper, Curb and Mining Outlook. New York,
AZ in a lengthy letter to that publication, calls attention TO h enormous
4 decrease in the output IF the counnys mines during the past few
months and in view Of this decrease, asks if mining stocks are not in reality less
valuable than q year ago. The Outlook says in reply:
'sOm answe is that mining stocks of producing companies are distinctly

rAaIEE REVISION MADE EASY.
According to Chairman Payne, Only
Simple Question Is Involved.

Tariff revision has only a path OF
roses before 1t, If we may believe
Chairman Payne and some OF the other
Republicans who are telling Mr.. Taft
how easily the thing may be done. All
that is necessary is merely to follow
that infallible rule of faith and prac-
tice-the Republican platform. 1t
makes the way plain to the wayfaring
man when it lays down the two prin-
ciples that protective duties should be
based, first, upon the difference in cost
of production at home and abroad, and,
second, upon the need OF assuring 10
the American manufacturer a reason
able profit" How simple! Squaring
the circle would be child's play COM
pared with determining what is h
reasonable profit which the govern
ment ought to guarantee, and to de-
eide what is the exact difference In
cost of production would require
studies and expert investigation and
exhaustive comparisons which would
break the back and flag the brain OF
the most stalwart member of the
ways and means committee. Mean
while the untutored farmer OF the
west would recall such admissions as
that of Mr.. Schwab before the indus
trial commission, that American steel
makers can defy the world and do not
need a penny of protection.

AND NOW TO RAISE PRICES.
Trusts Ready with Spacious Argu-
ments to Levy Tax on Consumer.

After waiting until after election
railroad officials are announcing an
increase in freight rates, Their theory
is that when the volume of business is
heavy, freight rates should be raised
under the workings of the law of sup
ply and demand. When business falls
off and there are hundreds of thou
sands of empty cars, the freight rates
should be raised because dividends
cannot otherwise be sustained.
This is similar to the theory OF the
sugar trust at the tariff hearing. The
consumption Of sugar has increased,
which the trust asserts is proof that
the tariff is not excessive and If any
thing should be raised. If the con-
sumption of sugar had diminished, the
trust could likewise make the argu-
men that this showed the necessity for
more protection to pay dividends on
the capital invested.
The advance in freight rates will
be paid by the consumer. The tariff
on sugar is paid by the consumer.
Every increase in price is paid by the
consumer. 1t is his function to pay for
other peoples prosperity.

White House HEROES.

That is a heroic passage in the
presidents letter to Senator Knox in
which he says: II will do everything
in my power for the wage-workers of
the country except to do what is
wrong; / will do wrong for no man"
Here is incorruptibility itself, tried
and true, s~elf-confident and %self-appre-
ciative. Having in mind the memora-
Bile occasion on which M Edward H.
Hartman, a pretty smart man himself,
was handed a gold brick in Washing
ton, how are we to explain Mr.. Roose-
velt's conduct IN that occasion? Under
the Oyster Bay code of morals 10 it
right to wrong a man like Hartman?

The Journal Of the American Medi-

Modern civilization furnishes no bet

The building Of the Panama canal and
the sanitary record Of the Japanese in

Why the West Rebels.

Taxation from earliest history has
been the favorite weapon Of Special
Privilege. The old feudal barons taxed
their vassals direct, but modern spe-
cial privilege benef1ciaries prefer the
indirect method.
Taxation, through a customs tariff,
is as onerous in the United States to-
day as in the colonial policies of the
bygone King Georges. A misused tar
Tiff is a tax on industry-nothing else.
The only difference between King
Georges tax, that led to the American
revolution, and the modern high tariff
tax is that the latter is concealed in
the magical wand Protection" with
which Special Privilege attempts to
lull it's abject serfs to sleep.

Heavy Taxes Paid by West.

Eastern tariff barons talk grandilo-
quently Of protection to American
labor and American struggling indus
tries. Under this cloak they make
western producers and consumers pay
a tax on practically everything they
produce and consume. They make the
western farmer pay exorbitantly for
his implements and the western home.

Business, Not Politics.

The people who We're for immediate
tariff revision before election are now
for putting it off, on the plea that what
is wanted is deliberate revision-not
hasty changes in a few schedules.
There will be shifting attitudes due to
tactics. Tariff revision involves no
political principle, but as a matter OF
practical business, and as such must
be conducted fairly to all the interests
concerned, or there will be legitimate

A tariff hat imposes duties to the
extent of the difference in cost of pro-
duction in this country and in foreign

A tariff that goes beyond this is a
tariff for extortion from the American
