Legislative agents Of railroad labor or

lette bill represented their views and that
the knox bill ID unsatisfactory to them

clared Unconstitutional, and both con-
tended that to pass the bill would invite

is a dangerous experiment in a free
country and may incite revolt, but
there is a method by which you can
tax the last rag from the back and the
last bite from the mouth without
causing a murmur against high taxes,
and that Is to tax a great many ar
ticles of daily use and necessity so
Indirectly that the people will pay
them and not know it. Their grum-
bling then will be of hard times, but
they will not know that the hard times
are caused by taxation"
Since the days Of Pitt many genera
tons Of people in supposedly free
countries have backed up the truth of
his saying. They have grumbled at
hard times, not knowing that they are
paying many times 81 per cent" in
taxes on the necessities of life. In the
United States some people have long
seen the connection between the hard
battle for existence and the dishonest
and discriminating taxes collected
through the tariff, and there are indi-
cations that the majority are beginning
to see it. The promises of the stand
patters to revise the tariff are a little
louder and stronger than ever before,
and yet are they strong enough to be
remembered after election? If the
people are getting wise as to the eff
feet of the tariff, will they also be
wise enough to intrust its revision to
those who have a motive for remem-
bering, not a motive for forgetting, to
those who do not profit by the injus-
tice of tariff taxation?
