How Tariff Increases Cost of Living

now pending has a direct relation to
campaign funds.",- .
That the Republicans do rot seriously
intend to revise the tariff dOwnWardS.
where such revision would hurt their
friends, the trusts, is evident from the
preliminary report of the special COM
mittee which has been investigating the
tariff on paper and wood pulp. After
taking 1000 pages of printed testimo-
NY the majority report gravely in
forms us that the entire removal of
the present tariff would not have any
great immediate effect on the prices
of paper. Thus has the Republican
mountain labored and brought forth a
ridiculous tariff mouse. This is all the
satisfaction given to the thousands of
newspaper publishers who asked con-
gress to free them from the paper
trusts by the removal of the duties on
paper and pulp.
The tariff plank in the Republican
platform just adopted at Chicago is as
shifty as expert political juSelers could
make it, 1t gives a stone to those who
asked for bread. Instead of promising
plainly to reduce oppressive tariff du-
ties, il discusses maximum and mini
mum rates and favOrs such duties as
will equal the difference between the
cost of production at home and abroad,

Perfection Not Expected.


The Democratic party is not expecting
10 bring the millennium through a Demo-
cratic administration. Those who repre-
sent that party understand that govern
ments are administered by human hands
and that all things that mans hands
touch do not attain 10 perfection. We
do not expect our nation will be free from
fault when il is intrusted in the hands OF
those who call themselves Democrats
But IL is the purpose of those who are
called Democrats 10 secure a better ad
1ustment of rewards of service, and they
believe that this can be done by re storing
the government TO the ancient doctrines.
They believe il can be done by making
II more responsive 10 the will Of the peo-
pie. and IL you will read that platform
there you will find that there are several
specific reforms that are asked for. One.
for instance, is the election of senator's by
the direct vote of the people Why is that
desired? In order that the senate may be
the servant of the people; In order that
Its representatives may speak for the peO-
pie and reflect the sentiment of the peo-
pie. II desires reduction of expenditures
Why? Because the people who pay the
taxes are overburdened and the appropri-
ations are larger than they ought to be
II desires the reformation OF our system
of taxation. Why? Because we believe
that the present system lays too large a
portion of the burden upon the struggling
masses and collects too small a part from
those with large fortunes and large in
comes and the income tax is suggested
not as thing that is going TO bring abso-
lutte perfection, absolute justice, but as n
thing that will lead to a nearer approach
10 justice in the distribution of the bur
dens of government
Democratic Purpose
"And so i may take I'D different nlanks
and show you how they are all tending
TO one end, one purpose. and that is 10
make this government Just TO the whole
people. But / have taken as my text the
last clause of the platform because n
presents in a few words that which is
presented more literally in other blanks
Our aim is TO adjust the rewards of So
ciety TO the people honestly and SO that
every one will feel that there is some
thing to strive for. The best way to make
people strive Is to assure them that their
rewards will be proportionate TO their en-
deavor, and we are anxious that the
American people shall have the highest
possible Inspiration to great endeavor
We want them to have the assurance
that when they have given 20 the world
the best they have. that the world will
recognize their effort, and | have taken
your vocation. your calling. as an H.
lustration. ! have wondered why teach
ers of this country would go year after

monopoles. when the teachers themselves
