Of the people will then demand some re-
lief, the President says he might give the
rest of the people the postal savings
bank. Uncle Joe is right so far as the
object lesson is concerned. \ great many
Republicans who have for years patiently
submitted to tariff exactions are very like
ly-in the face of tariff revisions for the
benefit of the newspaper publishers-tO
ask why not tariff revision for consum
ers generality"
And why not tariff revision? If it is
good for the newspaper publisher why not
give it to the consumers generally? And
how does it happen that this great po-
litical organization, whose leaders insist
that it is the party of the people, the
party of God and morality" al not be
persuaded to l~egislate in public interests?
1t can hardly be coaxed to give enough
in the way of remedial legislation to
which the Republican political managers
may point as IN excuse for the reelection
of their party to the control of the ma
tional government.

cause of the material benefits such legis-
latiOn will secure. but above all because
this federal action should be part, and Il
large part, of the campaign to waken our
people as a whole to a lively and effec-
tive condemnation of the low standard of
morality implied in such conduct OF the
part of great business concerns. The first
duty of every man is 10 provide a liveli-
hood for himself and for those dependent
upon him: it is from every standpoint de-
Sirable that each of our citizens should
pndeavOr by hard work and honorable
methods to secure for him and his such
a competence as will carry with it the
opportunity TO enjoy in reasonable fash
ion the comforts and reinements of life
and. furthermore. the man of great bust
ness ability who obtains a fortune in up
right fashion inevitably in so doing con-
fers a benefit upon the community as a
whole and is entitled to reward, to re-
spect and to admiration. But among the
many kinds of evil. social, industrial and
political, which it is our duty as a nation
gternly to combat, there is none at the
81 me time more base and more danger
Gus than the greed which treats the plain
and simple rules of honesty with cynical
contempt if they interfere with making a
profit: and as a nation we can not be held
g~uiltless if we condone such action. The
nan who breaches hatred of wealth hon
estly acquired. who inculcates envy and
jealousy and slanderous i'll will toward
those of his fellows who by thrift, energy
and industry have become men of means,
is a menace to the community"
This is a splendid illustration of the
manner in which the public is robbed by
private monopoly. 1t is time that the pri-
vate monopoly was exterminated, for its
determination, instead Of destroying bust
ness, will revive business and at the same
time relieve the public from one of its
greatest menaCeS.

FROM THE COMMONER
MIR. PAPER

man in a dispatch printed in the Chi
cagO Record-Herald says:
why pass a bill simply because The
newspaper publishers want it? The coun-
try will declare we have Disseminated in
favor of the newspapers and we will re-
ceive the righteous swatting of the voters
because we have done something for them
and not for the rest of the people"
This, in substance, is understood to be
the Cannon argument, or excuse, for not
yielding to widespread pressure anent
free-listing pulp and paper. 1t is an ex-
Cuse, however, that has been readily met
by the new plan of action at the White
House.
"If you want to do something for the
rest of the people as well, you have the
chance" That was in substance the an
swer given to Speaker Cannon to-day.

people, and the people, having studied the
matter. want the system established. They
want that just as much as the publishers
want wood pulp and print paper on the
free list. You alone stand in the way Of
both propositions. Act in both matters,
or get off the lid and let the House act
and then it can not be said that Congress
was discriminating in favor of any single
interest"
This must be interesting reading for
Republicans who yet believe that the Re
publican party intends to represent the
people.
Here the President of the United States
invites the Speaker to the White House
and pleads with him to give Republican
pubIishers-and, of course, publishers gen

combination which secured control of the
market. He says:

mittcd by Mr.. Nathan Matthews, chair
man Of the finance commission, to the
Mayor and City Council OF Boston, relat-
ing to certain evil practices Of various
corporations which have been bidders for
furnishing to the city iron and steel. This
report shows that there have been extern
sive combinations formed among the vari-
Gus corporations which have business with
the city of Boston, including. for instance,

ing practically all the firms and corpora
