The Thirty-Nine INDIGNANT Thieves.

If one of the famous Forty Thieves
had suddenly reformed and announced
his intention of applying for an injunc-
tion TO restrain the other 80 from ply
ing their larcenous trade the cOnster-
nation would be something like that in
the ranks of the specially privileged
since Mr.. Carnegie began to talk free
trade or something like it.
The feeling among his comrades is
one of disappointment and resentment.
He's got his is their choral ode.
Now he wants to prevent us from get.
ting ours" In polite society the cry
would be treason" and traitor" 1t
is expected that the Democrats will
cry for tariff reduction. They are out
siders with outre ideas, overcome by
sentimentalism, incapable of appreci-
ating the stern and practical things of
business and of life.
But Carnegie is a canny Scot, q
rich man among the rich men of the
world He has been the unblushing
beneficiary of tariff since steel su.
perseded iron. That he should turn
against his fellows, and, with some
thing like s3O0,000,000 tucked safely
away, enter the forum of unselfish
economy and cry for fair play-it is
too much. 1t is no wonder that the
other "39" are indignant, hurt and re,

MAY AS WELL ABANDON HOPE.
No Proper Tariff Revision Can Come
from the Standpatters.

Note, if you please, the main argu-
'Gent for the reorganization of the
ways and means committee on con
scrvatiye' lines. The clans are being
rallied because a large number of low
tariff Republicans have been elected
TO the house of representatives from
the west and middle west. High tariff
Republicans have been sent to the po-
litical discard.
To the average mind, this would
imply a powerful undercurrent of ap-
proval for an extra session of congress
and immediate tariff revision.
To the average standpatters mind it
merely implies more seepless Wig
ilance in the interest of eastern tariff
monopolists. The most experienced
politicians in congress are in the re.
dictionary wing. Their fighting abili-
ties will be concentrated on a post
ponement of such genuine tariff re-
vision as the country demands.
The tariff will be revised by the
ways and means committee and con
gress will pass the bill recommended
by the committee. Serene +. Payne
has said so, and he knows.

The Tariff and the Farmer.

How does the tariff help the farmer?
Not one thing that he has to sell is
protected--eyen his wool being con.
trolled by a wool trust which de.
presses prices. On the other hand,
everything he buys is heavily taxed.
In view of all this, We are not so sure
that the farmer vote is as solid as it is
supposed to be for the party of protec-
tion. The farmer reads the papers,
and he is in close touch with the
great world through telephones, the
rural delivery aud the interurban
railroad. He knows what is going on
as the letter of our friend very clearly
proves. High prices which he does
not get, do not help him. And Ger.
tainly the high prices which he has
to pay do not

Tribute Levied on Consumer.

The consumer pays so much tax to
the protected tariff baron as the baron
secures by right of spoliation under
the tariff. The consumer cannot bene-
fit.
United States concerns make steel
for less cost than the manufacturers
of any other country in the world
Yet the consumers of any other coun-
try can buy American steel for the
lowest prices, while steel users in this
country pay the highest,
The high tariff cannot increase the
wages of labor Germany, France.
Spain and China are all high tariff
countries. Why is not labor in those
countries paid as good wages as here ?
Manipulating the law of value to le-
galize plunder is a losing game. Pa,
ternalistic protection to preferred
class destroys the rights of the citi-
zen. And high tariff is the means to
that end One of these days the
American people will discover it, and
high tariff will be banished forever.

Labor at the White House.

Mr. Roosevelt expressly omitted
Samuel Gompers from the list of
guests at the labor legislative dinner
at the White House. The dinner was
the occasion of a conference with rep,
resentative labor leaders. At such
a conference the president of the
American Federation of Labor, wheth,
er he be Gompers or somebody else
belongs by reason of his office.
But Gompers made the foolish mis-
take of imagining that he could swing
the labor vote TO Mr., Bryan. That ac
counts for Mr., Roosevelt's studied
slight in not inviting him. To leave
Gompers out was equivalent to an
nounoing that labor must vote the Re
publican ticket to receive recognition
at the White House.
