pub ished in New York city, is
th1] organ of the stand-patters.
1T IL issued by the "American
Pro sective Tari if League"
otherwise known as the asso-
ciated tariff barons, and speaks
with authority upon all re-
publican tariff matters. Th e
Economist says that the re-
publican platform means re-
vision of the tariff "upward," {"
and that the Prote ctive Tariff
League will fight the battle for
the republican party on that
grorud. In it's issue of July 8
the Economist says:
Upon the terms and con-
di,ions set forth in the republi-
eau pl a t,forn the League
stands ready to cooperate with
the movement for revision"
In the same article the same
paper says:
THE Tariff League stands
for tariff revision-upward re-
vision"
The same paper also quotes
with approval the following
from the Rochester IN. W
Chronicle:
"There is a radical difference
between reform and revision
The latter is what the republ;
cans h avs promised us"
So therefore the republicau
party does not intend to refor.il
the tariff, it merely proposes to
revise it--and revise it upward.
Which means only that high
er tax is TO be levied on the
people.

KERN WHO HE Is

"Who is kern?:" is being ast;
ed in the east, as "Who rs
Sherman?" is asked in the
west. John Worth Kern is the
son of a Virginia physician,
who einigrated to Indiana in
1886.
He was born in 1889, gradu-
ated in the law school at the
University of Michigan when
thirty years of age. began prac.
tice in kokomo, hia native
town, and at once went into
politics as demo crat.
In 1873 he was ei1cted city at
tory, in 1885, he was appoint
ed reporter for the supreme
court of the state, and ren1 we'd
to Indianapolis, and in 1882, he
was elected to the state cen
ate. He has been candidate
for other o fiji { e bly,
man, governor, United States
senator-aud, though defeated,
always ran ahead of his ticket.
He has for over ten years
been the head of the democrat
ic party i'll a repu blican state,
and an ind2fstigab!e advocate
of Bryan and his various poll
cies.
AS a lawyer he has compiled
and edited the Indiana SUI
preme court reports, and as an
orator he ranks among the
most popular spellbinders. He
was nominated for vice presi-
dent because of his intimate
relations with Bryan and be-
cause he is believed to be able
to pull more votes in Indiana,
a doubtful state, than any other
candidate.
Personally he is a great
favorite an Elk, a Free Mason

When he returns from the
Nountains of Siskiyon we may
kowu.
1t is evident that there must
be great business or political
per;(s imminent when the
dominating spirit of Hartman
has been humbled and he
seeks light on his perplexities
and has decided to help his fel.
low men and his country. He
plainly tells us that matters
have become tangled and il
has become necessary for some
one to try to make a bad situa
ton better.
Somewhow [ can hardly
picture in my minds eye the
insatiate Hartman as reform
er. He is master of Wall
Street finance; he is a Repub
iican politician; in 1904 lie
was a delegate to tine Couven
ton that nomination President
Roosevelt; his advice was
sought by MIR. Roosevelt at a
crisis Of that cana paign and he
raised the money, which assur-
ed us turned the scaie in favor
of the Republicans in the
pivotal State Of New York.
Since that embarrassing cpl
sode for President Roosevelt,

gated Hartman to member
ship in the Ananias Club,
VII ere many other men
of note have also becom@ =
Charter members. He now
detests Roosevelt and does not
banker after Taft and ",ny poi
icies."
1t may be concluded that the
political situation is the tangl-
ed skein that Hartman is
seeking 70 unravel. He evi-
leatly thinks more of Mr.
Bryan i!ian he once did, for he
says, "I am beginning to think
more of nay fellow man." He
will undou btedly ponder in the
vast solitude of the Mountain
whether the success Of the De
mocratic ticket is not more to
the advantage of the country
md of NIr. Hartman than the
success Of the corrupt and ex-
travagant party he has hither
to adhered TO.
Thus good may come out o!
evil and Hartman may be the
chosen instrument to tilwart
the powers of evil that for
twelve long years have op-
pressed the American people
The pilgrimage Of Hartman tc
the Mountain may result in a
change of policies for the Ma
tion. A word from him would
pull half the purse strings OF
Wall Street SO tight that the
demands of Treasurer Sheldon

Whether the exigeucies of
the presidential campaign will
require President Roosevelt or
Mr.. TAFT 10 call OH Mr.. Harri-
man tor financial aid is not yet
known. 1t is certain, however,
that My dear Hartman was
never more able to furnish the
Doodle than now. He is the
undisputed railroad king. He
controls 45,15l miles ,f the
railroads of ..the country and is
just about ready to gobble the
eastern Gould roads which will
give The railroads he controls
another entry to Pittsburg and
Baltimore, and has his hands
on others. The capital stocks
of the railroads he now domi-
mates amount to the enormous
sum of 81, ,627 55L', 10000 with an
issue of $l,333O,9 ,594.OO in
bonds. 1t fellows that all co,,l-
petition between there Harri-
man railroads is obliterated
and the people who reside on
them and the merchants who
| 10 business over them will
have to pay "all the traffic will
bear"
Is it good public policy to al
low this railroad magnate to
comhine competing railroads
at his pleasure:
President Roosevelt has been
hand and glove with Mr.. Har-
riman, vino ;s an ardent repub
lican, and the evidence of the
ardor of Mr.. Hartman for re-
publican success has been dis
closed by letters that have
been published and the fac,
that at The request of Presi-
dent Roosevelt Mr.. Hartman
raised. S260, 900 ir. TIE last days
of the campaign of 1904. That
money Nir. Hartman declared
was used to bay the voters of
the state Of New York, and did
have, be said. the effect of in
ducing 10000 Of them to vote
the republican ticket and save
the g. o. y. from defeat.
That transaction was a great
blot on the repu tation of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, almost as much
as the collection for republican
campaign purposes of the
trust funds Of the life insur-
ance companies was, tha,
should have been sacred to the
widows and orphans, for Mr..
Roosevelt was the direect ben
.iciary of the use of this pollti-
cal corruption.
If President Roosevelt was
really jn.eut that such "maIe-
factors Of great wealth" as Mr..
Hartman. should be controlled
or limited in plundering the
people through excessive rail
road rates and manipulation of
the enormous surplus funds of
the corporations he controls,
would he have been in politi
cal partnership with Mr.. Har-
riman? If Mr.. Roosevelt was
really sincere in eradicating
the influence of such malefac-
tors of great wealth as Mr..
Hartman in the republican
party, would he not be urging
the proper federal officials to
prevent the further combina-
ton ofrailroads under the dom
ination of one man?
When Mr.. Hartman was a
delegate to the republican ma
tional convention in 1904, he
was no better than he is today,
but the republican party has
allowed him to become more
powerful. Those voters who
believe tn al corporations

GONE TO TIE WOODS.

EopeCiai 10 lne ll!QeS.
Washington, D. G. Aug. G.
People, here who keep close
watch of politics and business
are asking what is going to
happen in the near future?
They we'll know that most OF
the talk of renewed prosperity
is for the purpose of bolstering
up the republican party and
the Wall street stock market.
Neither the g. o. p. or the Wall
street gamblers can exist with
out a bull market, therefore
Sunshine clubs and Prosperity
conventions have been organi-
zed, press agents hired and
wonderful tales told of the in
creased business being done.
Still there is trouble in busi-
ness and politics and no one
can tell what will happen.
The financial managers, of
course, are not deceived by the
rosey reports their agents have
set in motion. Far from it..
,s'hey are still cropping blindly
aiong trying to stay the flood
of liquidation that has contin-
led in greater or lesser force
s,.4ce last October when the
x,n.,ic overlook them. That
;.3:c is not ala overdrawn pic
sure of present conditions is
snown by the declaration OF
mat master Of finance, Edward
4. Hartman, that he is at his
wits end:
"In fact" says Mr.. Harri-
man. things nave become so
complex that j scarcely know
where I au,. So l am going
s,.,t to the Siskiyou mountains
t., think over the situation, and
when 7 come back J. may be
ssble TO talk intelligently con-
cegning the future"
Nnether Mr.. Hartman Will
:]1 able to gather his wits about
ain2 in the solitude. of the Sis
a,vou mountains and be thus
able to tell us about the future
is very doubtful. There are
some things shat even Harri-
man cannot do, although we
have been assured that he
stands upon d higher plane
than the best OF us. History
but repeats itself and ages
hence when the details Of his
torv become dim and transla
tors have warped the facts to
suit some Interior object, the
story OF Hartman $ visit to the
yDountain may show that he
was really the unseltish man

Still il is strange that Harri-
man should take q journey Of
5000 mites, or more, to a noun.
tain to silently commune with
him self when other mountains
are much nearer and easier 70
he reached. Is he like Saul of
old seeking someone to divine
what will happen, for there is
40 doubt he is in a dire strait
and as he says: II scarcely
know where [ am" AS in
Elijah's time, when he went to
the Mountain, great wind
may rend the rocks, or there
may be an earthquake, or q
fire, but the still small voice
the voice of conscience, always
comes after nature has spent
her forces and commands most
attention.
Will Hartman heed it? Will
he revise his past and reform
his future? His spirit is evi
IDENTIFY striving for change 70,
the better, for he says:
