THE RICH PAY THE TARIFF,
SAYS ARTHUR J. DODGE

It is quite likely that we could do
without ninety per cent. of our i'm
portations-that is, we could get
Just as good or better things made
in this country If a certain class Of
our people did not prefer imported
stuff. The claim then Of Mr.. Dodge
that nearly all our impOrtations
should be classed as "luxuries," and
that the duties are paid by the rich
and well-to-do is well sustained. and
as a certain amount Of customs rev.
enue is necessary to be added to the
internal revenue to meet the ex-
penses of the Government. it is we'll
that the wealthy class should pay It,
and this they do almost wholly.
This fact should be well under
stood at the outset of the framing of
4 new tariff law which is to give ade-
quate protection to American labor
and industries. We should not only
protect our own people, but we should
lay such duties that if the wealthy
prefer the foreign-made articles and
an Indefinite amount of 'luxuries, Z"
they should pay the piper. That is
the Republican and the .Pr0tectionist
way of making a tariff law. and that
will be the way the next law is made
If Taft and Sherman are elected and
a Republican House of Representa-
tiYeS.

POLITICAL LEAGUES.

Prominent business men OF al
sections of New York State have OF
ganized and had incorporated at Al
bany the Taft League of the State
of New York. The object OF the
league, as stated in its article OF IN
corporation, is to promote the can
didacy of William H. Taft for Presi-
dent" This is the latest New 1orK
This is the year for Independent
political leagues in New York. They
are as thick as hops all over the
state. There is the Personal Liberty
Ieague and the Acorn League, the
Hotel Mems Political League, the
Business Mems Republican Club OF
New York City, Hearst's Independ-
ence League, the Socialist Labor Lea
cue. the Suffragette League, and, Ar;
Nathan Straus says, the Bryan ana
Kern Business Mems League. IheIe
has been great doubt about this last
named organization, but as MI
Straus has made a pet scheme OF IT,
tbe benefit of the doubt is duly ac-
corded to him. Most of these organ
izations have no connection with inc

and their dependents because it re
Heves the country of the necessity of
maintaining a large standing army.
The patriotism of the veterans IS ig-
nored. This platform does not favor
transforming widows and dependents Of
deceased veterans, only surviving
veterans and their dependents"
The Old Soldiers Friend.
The Republican party has kept its
nromises. Through its legislation
there has been disbursed in the pay
menf OF pensions on account OF the
Civil War to June 30, 1908, So 533,-
5q2 O25.95, and there were on the
nension rolls on the last date 633,33S
veterans of the Civil War and tOta!
of 967.371 pensioners of all wars and
classes. and on June so, 1905, there
were approximately on the pension
rolls C21,O00 surviving veterans.
All the civilized nations of the
Garth combined have not equaled the
limited States in liberality in grant
ing pensiOns. bounties, homesteads
ond land warrants, providing homes,
etc for war veterans. The appro-
nriatfon for the present fiscal year for
having pensions is S162, GOO, 900
more than One-ffth of the entire
revenue of the government.
No man who was not cid enough
to be a factor in that great struggle
could give his heart and soul more
completely to the welfare and well
being of the veterans who fought for
liberty and right in the days of 81 to
'65 than Mr.. Taft. He is the recog-
nized and distinguished friend of the
old soldier and is pledged to carry
out the Republican policy in a gener-
ous manner toward the Grand Army
of the Republic He has never been
too busy to see tie veteran and lis
ten with sympathetic interest to his
lust demands. Taft, as President,
will be an abiding fast friend to all
the survivors of al our wars.

has been passed by Republican votes,
and every pension bill defeated has
been defeated by Democratic votes.
Every pension bill vetoed, 529 In
number, was vetoed by Democratic
President except FIVE.
Pension PIanks in Platforms.
For the past fifty years the Demo-
cratic politicians have juggied with
the soldier vote and pension question
in their platforms. While giving
every evidence of being really hostile
at heart, they have thrown out bits
of political bait from time to time in
the hope of cajoling the veterans
into voting the Democratic ticket.
During all these years the Republl-
can platform has rung as clear as
bell on the pension question, as per
this plank in the 1908 platform:
"Another Republican policy which
must ever be maintained is that of
generous provision for those who
have fought the country's battles and
for the widows and orphans of those
who have fallen. We commend the
increase in the widows pensions
made by the present Congress and de-
clare for a liberal administration of
all pension laws, to the end that the
Deople's gratitude may grow deeper
as the memories of the heroic sacrt-
fee grow more sacred with the pass
ing years.

WHO PAYS THE TARIFF?

The Democratic free trade claim.
that import duties bear most heavily
on the consumers of necessaries, is
most thoroughly shattered by Ar
thur ]. Dodge, the Washington cor
respondent of the American Econo-
mist, in the current issue of that pa
per. Mr.. Dodge shows In the first
place that against s527. 100000 of
dutiable imports, we import goods
free of duty to the value of S454,-
100000. He shows that of the total
duties collected amounting to $751;
100000, $SO.00O,O0O- are collected
upon so-called '1uxuries." He shows
further that the average rate Of duty
on all dutiable imports is forty-seven
per cent, while the average rate of
duty on 1uxuries" is over sixty per
cent. But Mr.. Dodge goes further
and shows that probably all our i'm
ports or at least ninety per cent. are
goods consumed by the rich and we'll
to-do. Those people who prefer i'm
ported wearing apparel, imported
house furnishings and a thousand
and one other articles of importation
that could be made in this country,
are not the working classes who con-
sumo the necessaries. of life and who
come under the free trade claim that
such duties are paid by the masses.

GOOD TIMES.

had arranged with Mr.. Gompers TO
deliver the labor vote. =.
But Mr.. Gompers has found 1t
harder to perform than it was 10
promise. His activity in the interests
of Bryan, and his calm assumption
that "the organization under him =
"his" would vote as he tells II
to. have created dissension In the
ranks of labor.
Dissension Begins Early.
This dissension began to show it.
self almost Immediately after Mr.
Mack and Mr. Gompers had reached
an agreement about their" organ
izations. The first protest came
from the Western Federation OF
Miners. That Federation sent to all
labor unions a circular protesting
against Mr.. Gompers' plan to de
liver" their votes.
"Gompers has heard" the circular
said, THE censure that has come from
all quarters, and is up in arms to
rebel against the limitations that
have been made by many who ques-
ton the course he has taken in an
attempt to swing the labor vote to
the Democratic party. 1t is appar-
ent that Gompers has heard the rum
bling in the ranks of organized labor,
and men who are neither ''reneSades
nor outcasts in the movement have
voiced their sentiments in no uncer-
tain terms in opposition to the man
whose political declarations have
raised the suspicion that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is to be
made an annex of the Democratic
party in the pending campaign"
Vice-President Duncan.
Chief among those who object to
Mr.. Gompers' assumption of power
to deliver the labor vote to Bryan,
are two high officials of the Fedora
tion, one of them next IN command
to Gompers himself. They are James
Duncan, first vice-president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
Daniel ]. Keefe, sixth vice-president.
Vice-President Duncan, who is
president of the Granite Cutters
Union, says: "The labor movement
of our country is now, as heretofore,
Independent of parties. The labor
movement admonishes each organized
worker to cast his vote on election
day in strict accordance with his con-
aI4GAlIt do " mheAl MOuAu UC bhC DCob
for the whole people,"
Vice President Keefe.
Vice-President Keefe, who is a
member of the Federation's execu-
tive council and president of the
Longshoremen's Union, expressly re-
pudiates Mr.. Gompers' bargain to
"deliver" the labor vote, and says:
1.-THE American Federation of Labor
is not committed to any political
party, nor has any candidate for
President been indorsed by the ex-
ecutiYe council. Personally, / am
going to vote for William H Taft,
because as Secretary of War he did
more to enforce laws in favor of Or
ganized labor than any of his prede-
cessors."
Even Gompers' own union-that
of the Cigar Makers-from which he
used to hold a workingman's card,
before there was an Organization
under him." has condemned his
promise to deliver" the union vote.
Mr.. Gompers has undoubtedly sue
ceeded admirably in one thing. He
has affronted the conservative mem
bers of trades unions, who believe
that each has right to vote for HIM

self and that coercion of any kind
must not be exercised to influence
any mans vote.
Resolution Under Table.
This attitude was well demonstrat-
cd by the Hotel and Restaurant Mems
Union. when it substituted a motion
IN table Gompers' appeal for money
for Rrvan. with a contemptuous re-
soIution to throw it under the
table" Which was done.
The New York district organiza-
tion of machinists, Is, 900 strong, has
also assailed the Gompers delivery
plan.
New York Central Federated Union
from the Photo Engravers Union,
No /. P. E. u, though a close friend
of Gompers, says: 81 believe that in
advocating the support of Bryan,
Gompers has abandoned the first
nrincinles of the Federation. Mr..
RYAN declares that his union will
not contribute one dollar to the Com
pers fund.
Three Union Presidents For Taft.
TT. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, takes di-
rect issue with Mr.. Gompers on the
question of commanding the union
labor men to vote for Bryan. Presi-
| dent Lewis. in a circular to members
| Of his union, says: "The United Mine
Workers did not elect me interna-
! tional president to influence your
nolitical preferences, or how you
ebouId cast your vote on election day.
Fror what I know of our members,
Won are fully competent to decide for
Yourselves how you will vote on cleo
tion day"
Elevator Constructors National I'm
ion. has declared for Taft.
7. J. Dolan, president of the Steam
sbovelers' Union, has also declared
for Mr.. Taft.
Printers President Protests.
Norman e. McPhail, president Of
the Typographical Union says; ing
vote of organized labor will not and
cannot be delivered to any one party
bv anv one man or set of men.
r 7, Finney, one of the Organiz-
ers of the American Federation OF
Labor: "In endorsing Mr.. Taft's can
didacy for the Presidency l wish to
he understood as believing that Mr.:
Gompers is sincere in his support oil
Mr.. Bryan. I also believe that ne
has made the greatest mistake OF his
life" .4-,
Union labor all over the country
resents bitterly the attempt OF one
man to destroy the principles OF the
organization, hazarding its existence
as that of the Knights OF LABOR
was first hazarded and then ruined
by forcing it into politics.
Organized labor men can be trust
ed to deliver their own votes.

PROGRESSIVE GOVERNMENT.

The workman wants progressive
government which will understand
and protect his interests. 1t is ad-
mitted that the Roosevelt admins
tration has done more to protect the
interests of labor than any other
since the Civil War. The President
says that Mr.. Taft is one of the best
friends --of honest labor and has
helped the President in executing the
eight-hour law, in raising the wages
of American workmen at Panama and
in promoting other interests of or
ganized labor. Is not President
Roosevelt's opinion entitled to
