the Standard Oil was the absorption by

The fair structure of bold and origin

the oil king had built up in order to
prove that his concern owed its ascend

scrap heap by the merciless fire Of the
examiner.
One by one, the crafty old man was
forced to disown the first pipe line, the
first refinery, the first tank steamer,
the first barrel factory These had been
the work of the true pioneers of the oil
industry. The main initiative Of the.
Rockefeller crowd lay in gobbling en-
these fruits Of legitimate enterprise and

Radicals and Reactionaries.

Providence journal Ind.
Fresh evidence is daily afforded Of
the existence within the Republican
party Of two factions, between whom
there is as slight sympathy rs there is
between the party as a whole and the
Democratic organization. This is mere
ly another way OF saying that the old
party boundaries mean little or nothing;
the real division is inside the parties,
Democratic as well as Republican. The
radical Republican is in harmony with
the radical Democrat, and the reaction
airy in one organization with the reac-
tionary in the other. President Elect
Taft and Speaker Cannon are further
apart with respect TO their ideals and
purposes, than President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan are; and first or last there
must be clash between the hostile
wings they represent There
is a Cleveland-like quality in the presi-
dent elects reputed attitude Indeed,
il seems reasonable to think that he
win prove 70 hc a president of the
Cleveland rather than the Roosevelt
type. And if he shows the stubborn
resistance in the face of opposition
that the last Democratic executive dis
played, he may wake up some morning
to find himself as popular as Mr.. Roose-
Welt has ever been Already he may
count upon public sympathy and APP
plause in his fight with "Uncle joe
The Illinois representative is not popu-
lar, though a certain charitable view
has always been taken Of his faiings
because of the picturesque element in
tcrwoven with them. Nor has the
country any liking for the reactonary
cronics he has gathered about him.
That is why. whatever the result Of the
first skirmish may be, a final victory
for the Progressives under President
Taft may be anticipated

fruits of their labors, at times even
driven to self-destruction by the opera
lions of the Standard Oil company?
Yes, Mr.. Rockefeller has work to do
and at this minute. Let him refresh his
memory and tell Alright the history of
his enterprise, and then stand for TIE
consequences like a man. That way
alone lies the rehabilitation he so ear
nestly seeks.

II does not look on the tariff as party
question. Neither does Representative
Clark of Florida, who appeared before
the committee on ways and means To
plead for duty to protect sea island
cotton. He, Democrat, said that, IN
view of the recent election and others
preceding it, the tariff should be re-
moved from the domain of partisan
politics and treated as a business prop
osition. 1t should be dealt with by
commission or other proper tribunal.
This is one of the signs of the steady
movement of the Democrats of the
south toward the acceptance of the pro-
tective principle and the disappearance
of the tariff as party issue. the
Democrats some time ago became
friendly to internal Improvements,
which they once fought bitterly. They
might as well concede the point that
the protective principle has been per
manently established and that all which
remains TO be considered is the degree
of protection which should be given
where protection is required.
That is a matter which can be deter
mined more inteligently by commits
sion of unprejudiced experts than it
can be by members Of ways and
means committee. Some Of them are
likely to be affected by 'entangling
alliances" with captains of industry
who have plants in their districts. Pro-
ducers are tempted, as the hearings
now being held Indicate, to ask for
more protection than they need. They
would not make the same impression on
commission that they would be likely
to make on congressman.
1t must not be forgotten, however,
that nothing was said to the voters
during the recent campaign about the
creation Of a commission to revise the
tariff. They were told that congress
would revise it carly next year. Com.
missions do their work slowly. Even il
one to revise the tariff were to be Sc.
lected now it might be a year before il
could agree on a report. When it hac
reported the committee ON ways and
means might disregard many Of its
best recommendation
At this juncture the interposition OF
a tariff commission would mean delay
of revision. That is not what the Asso.
citation of Commerce wants. 1t woulc
prefer an early revision which removed
or minimized many of the defects Of
the tariff to waiting a year or so for q
revision based on the report of com.
mission If the 'standpat" men in
congress were to suggest commission
it would mean that they saw in it q
postponement 80 revision. To that the
consumers are opposed, They insist OF
having revision next spring, when il
was promised them.
