~May Be Reduced Fifty Per Cent"
On August 20, 1907. Mr.. H. e. Miles,
chairman of the tariff committee OF
the National Association of Manufac.
turers, wrote to Senator Foraker a
letter in which Mr.. Miles said:
About forty per cent Of all the
members of our association who have
by correspondence pronounced for re-
vision declare in their letters that
their own schedules MAY PROPERLY
BE REDUCED FIFTY PER CENT OR
MORE WITHOUT HURT TO THEIR
RESPECTIVE INDUSTRIES OR TO
THE COUNTRY AT LARGE"
How exorbitant must be this prec'
ious tariff fostered by the Republican
party when even forty per cent of its
benefciaries, frightened by the rising
tide of public sentiment, admit that
their own schedules may properly be
reduced fifty per cent or more without
hurt to their respective industries, or
to the country at large"
If the common everyday experience
of the consumers is not sufficient to
awaken Republican voters to the
iniquity of the existing tariff system
surely the confession In the letter re
ferred to ought at least to challenge
attention and invite thoughtful inves
tigation.

S7O,000,000 WAS GRATED
Representative Lloyd Shows New ne
Congress Gave Railroads That
Sum Improperly.

Representative James +. Lloyd, Of
Missouri, chairman Of the Democratic
national congressional committee, on
March. 10, 1908, exposed the fragrant
theft Of the peoples money through
the unfair weighing Of mails when Of
fetal tests were made to determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
Mr.. Chairman, in delivering my ad-
dress few days since on postal con-
ditlons, in discussing the interpreta-
ton of tie law as to the weighing Of
the mail failed to state the law on
the subject, and | wish to do so now:
"'The average weight to be ascer-
talned, in every case, by the actual
weighing Of the mails for such a num-
Der OF successive working days, not
less than thirty, Mt such times after
June 30, 1878, and not less frequently
than once in every four years.
Later the time was changed to
ninety days. Otherwise the law has
not been changed to this date.
Until March 2, 1867, the depart
ment required the mail to be weighed
for ninety days. Sunday was not con-
sidered, SO that the weighing covered
period Of one hundred and five days
instead of ninety successive days. In
other words, working days were con
q rho IN
ter General Cortelyou changed this In
depreciation which had been accepted
as correct for over thirty years and
issued the following order as his con
struction of the law:
"'1'hat when the weight Of mail Is
number of days the mails are weighed
shall be used as divisor for obtain
ing the average weight per day.
This required in effect, that, in
stead of dividing the number of work
ing or week days in the weighing
period, the devisor should be the num-
Der Of days on which mail was actual
ly carried during the period. If it
was weighed one hundred and five
days, tie divisor to obtain the daily
weight was one hundred and five, If
the mail was not carried on Sunday
the divisor would be ninety. This. as
you can readily see, would give less
compensation for carrying the full
week than for six days, for the ac
cumulated mail would be practically
the same whether carried in six DAYS
or in seven.
"The present postmaster general,
seeing this predicament. issued another
order of construction, known as order
49, which is as follows:
"'That when the weight of mail is
taken on railroad routes tie whole
number Of days included in the weigh
ing period shall be used as divisor
for obtaining the average weight per
day
"1f the construction up to last year
was right, then there has been with
held from the railroads this year over
81, 100000 that is theirs under the law.
If the present construction is the prop
er one, the railroads have received
over S70,000.000 since 1880 that be
longs to the people; so that whichever
view is sustained money has been
wrongfullv withheld through the. post

REPUBLICANS AND MONEY.

Golfers Weekly has a significant
editorial in It's issue OF August %,
entitled. THE Republicans and
Money" 1t is given herewith:
1.-THE election and subsequent death
of Mr.. Taft would mean the occu-
pancy of the White House by an Off
cial fat-fryer who has during sew
eral years past approached, with def
erential hat in hand. the president or
treasurer of most of the large cor
porations in the country. 1t was in
the course of this official function that
Sherman was profanely turned down
by Mr.. Hartman. with bitter denun-
citation of the Republican party and
reeking messages for the head OF that
party. that the party and the head Of
1t had not been grateful for the $780,.
600 which Mr.. Harriamn collected and
which Mr.. Hartman collected and
gave In 1904. Penrose, as one of tha
executive committee of nine which Is
to do the actual work of the Repub-
! lican campaign, is in error of taste
and Judgment but not great deal
worse. With T. Coleman Du Pont OF
Delaware, however. the case differs.
Among the combinations now being
prosecuted by the Federal Govern
ment is that aggregation Of compan-
les known as the Powder Trust. Mr..
Du Point is president Of the Atty mill
lion dollar Du Pont Powder Company.
president of the ten million dollar
tor OF the International Smokeless
Powder Company and vice-president
of the holding company, the Della
ware Securities Company, which owns
a majority of the stock of the Latin
& Rand Powder Company. Suppose
! that Mr.. Taft. being successful, should
be approached by Mr.. Du Pont thus.
I am one of the ten men. including
Chairman Hitchcock, who have put

| Department of Justice which IS seeking
| to break up my company. deprive me
| of some of my property, and declare
me a violator of the law Something
| analogous would have been the pres
ence of Harry Thaw two years ago
| on a committee of ten to collect funds
and promote the election of Jerome
| as district attorney. A minority
plank, calling for a statute providing
for publicity of campaign expendi-
| lures. was thrown out of the com.
mittee on resolutions by vote of SO
| to /, and was rejected on the floor
| of the convention by vote of $50 to
s4-Nebraska and Idaho and parts of
| Wisconsin and Indiana favoring 1t.
| The amount of Bourbonism still left
in the Republican party is far too
| large"
THE People do rule" says Sher.

1t is an old-time Republican cry that

nail on the head when in referring to
this cry he said If the tariff cannot
be revised when two-thirds O. g..
membership of both houses is Repub.
1ican, when is revision to Gomez"
Revision. through the Republican
party, is to come whenever the bene-

willing to surrender the enormous ad.

render will be made whenever human

The Republican Party's Own Answer.
In his address to the Republican ma
tional convention, Temporary Chair.
man Burrows referred to the Repub-
lican victory in 1904. and then asked:
I'm view of this Endorsement, 1t be.
comes pertinent and opportune to in.
quire, what has the Republican party
done in the last four years of govern.
ment control to forfeit public conf.
dence or create distrust In its capac.
ity for future administration?
For this question the Rochester
New York; Union and Advertiser
finds a striking answer. This is the
answer which the Union and Adver.
tiser takes out of the mouth of Sen.
ator Burrows own party as stated in
the Republican Platform of 1896: "In
the broad effect Of its policy it has
precipitated panic, blighted industry
and trade with prolonged depression,
closed factories, reduced work and
wages, halted enterprise and crippled
American production. Every consider
alton of public safety and individual
interest demands that the government
shall be rescued from the hands OF
those who have shown themselves in
cable of conducting 1t without dis
aster."
