ey deposited in his bank, Walsh in-
vested one million dollars in the Chi
cago Chronicle and changed the pa-
per, which was Democratic, into a
rsnk Republican sheet. and fired
broadside after broadside at Bryan
and his followers. He used the money
for widows and orphans in specula-
tion for the promotion of his own per-
sonal and selfish interests, and though
he was found guilty he has not yet
gone behind prison bars. Walsh is
only one of many who have taken adj
vantage of the lax system Of banking
now in vogue, and the Irish STANDARD
merely refers to him ito point a NOR
al and adorn tale.''
We are honestly of the opinion that
in spite of all the power of the pluto
cratic interests and the influence ex-
erted by the President, Bryan will
win the day. We have nothing to say
against Taft. He has been unfortl-
nately made the standard bearer Of
his party by Roosevelt, and will suf-
fer for it at the hands Of independent
Republican voters. The American
people want no dictation from tile
President in their choice of chief mag
istrate Of the greatest republic on
earth.
Taft. whether justly or unjustly, IS
antagonized by the labor leaders Of
the various industrial organizations,
and is likely to be defeated in his own
native state of Ohio. Through tue
Presidents impetuous assault on Sem
ator Foraker, Taft has suffered enor-
mously in his own state Roosevelt
showed in published letter from 1aft
that the latter was acting the double
part with Foraker, and that he looke
upon the negroes with disdain. yIe
will suffer for Roosevelt's imprudenre
in publishing his letter on Foraker
ard the negroes, without careful edit
ing of the same. Taft is contending
bravely against many opposing forces
and if he gets elected it will be a great
surprise to the Irish Standard.
The Republican party has outlived
it's usefulness. Its great statesmen are
dead, and the living ones are discred-
tied and corruptible. The party wants
more La Follettes and fewer Forak-
ers. Congress. under the control of
Cannon, has accomplished nothing III
years. The people have cried to it in
vain for relief from commercial roo
berry. The President asked it time
and again to do thus and so, but Joe
reviled and resented his dictation. II

change of congress is no less bensf,-

THE INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN,

Gov. John A.. Johnson addressed 4
meeting of 5000 enthusiastic citizens
in Minneapolis last Saturday nigh:,
and his opponent. Jacob f. Jacobson
spoke ten miles away in st. Paul.
johnson charged jacobson with being
a different man now from what ho
was In years gone by. Then he was a
strenuous opponent of the predatory
interests while now he let's them
alone, and is receiving their support
and backing in his contest for the gov
ernorship. Jacobson, in his st. Paul
speech, vehemently denied the charge,
and declared he was the same man
now as he was in the legislature. and
that if elected he will give everybody
square deal.
Johnson's charges, however, are too
strong to be met with simple de-
are true CT not. johnson is forci"'e
pleasing speaker who presents his
facts and figures in a convincing man
ner. jacobson commenced his cam
paign by charging Johnson's adminis-
tration with extravaganza. and there
is where lie made a mistake. John.
son is fully justified in refuting the
charge. and this he does to the ap-
parent satisfaction of his audience
judging from the applause elected
Not only does he vindicate himself
from the charge of extravaganza made
by Jacobson in his opening speech Of
the campaign, but he vndicates the
Republican legislature who made the
appropriations.
Jacobson, by his injudicious charge
which he has utterly failed to prove,
has given Johnson an opportunity to
appear as the champion and defender
of the Republican legislators, and,
needless 20 say. the Republicans in his
audience applaud him to the echo, and
will vote for him on election day.
Without the slightest intention Of
drawing clious comparisons between
the two candidates, we unhestatingly
assert that Johnson is the ADLER man
and that Jacobson had better keep ten
miles away from him during the CAM
paign when replying to the structures
OF extravaganza.
johnson shows that the apparent ex-
travagance in a growing and progress
sive state like Minnesota is no extrav-
agance at all, and that through his
eXertions the steel trust. the gas and
electric companies. the street car COM
ranics and other corporations have
paid many times over for the expendi-
lures made during his administration
from increased taxation, and that the
burden of taxation on individuals has
been greatly lessened thereby. There
is no doubt in our mind that Johnson
will carry Minnesota this year, by a
much larger majority than he received
previously. He will get the united
support Of his own party and draw to
himself many thousands of independ-
ent Republicans who admire him for
his charming personality. Everybody
is proud of Johnson. and men Of all
parties agree that he ranks high
among the governors of the various
states. He has served Minnesota
faithfully and we'll, and despite Jacob.
sons talk of divided responsibility"
the people will give him a third term
to carry on and finish his good work

American industries and to contribute

American industries and to contribute
to the revenue for the support Of tue
government.
On receipt of the foreign goods. the
importer adds the tariff to the invoice
price and his profit on top Of that. and
then proceeds to sell the goods in COM
petition with the American-made arr
ticles. He generally sells under the
price Of the American made articles
so as to dispose Of the foreign goods
as rapidly as possible, even at small
profits; but when he finds his profits
too low he quits the importation from
foreign lands and the revenue Of ths
custom house drops off to the loss o:
this government.
Mr.. McCleary may say that it is not
necessary for Americans to buy for
eign goods at all-that they should
patronize their own industries. first,
last and all the time. That kind of ar
gument appeals to American patriot-
ism. but it is fallacious and mislead-
ing. The American manufacturers
take advantage of the tariff and de-
stroy competition by organizing trusts.
They pay not one cent for revenue to
the government and charge the Amer
lean people more-a great deal more
than they charge the foreigners. They
pay no duty on exports; for this gov
ernment Of ours imposes no duty or
tariff on goods shipped abroad. The
high tariff enables them to charge two
prices to the American people who
must pay the prices whether they like
IT. or not.
No wonder the trusts are stigma
tized as predatory" the quoted word
meaning. according to Webster,
"plundering," characterized by plum
dering'' and SO forth. The predatory
interests, because Of the tariff, have
plundered the American people in &C.
cordance with laws, made by their
representatives in congress. With
their Swollen fortunes acquired in
this way they can we'll afford to .oay
campaign contributions to the party
that champions their cause, and they
are now secretly paying into the Rs-
publican campaign fund thousands Of
dollars for the election of Taft ma
Sherman and Republican candidates
for congress.
We believe, however. that Mr.. Nc
Cleary is not influenced by the trusts
and other predatory interests. He has
been a standpatter on principle, but
second defeat may open his eyes to
see the tariff question in it's true light.
The Irish Standard has friendly feel
ings for Mr.. McCleary, notwithstand-
ing his attitude on the tariff, for he
was instrumental, while in congress,
in obtaining an appropriation for a
statue to John Barry, the intrepid
Irish hero who was the first commo-
dore of the American navy, though his
name is not mentioned in the school
histories of the United States for sea
sons unnecessary to mention at this
time.

HAMMOND. .MecLEARY DEBATES

| In the debate between Hammond
and McCleary at Pipestone, Mimi, the
other evening, the latter is reported to
have said that the tariff on imported
goods to the United States is paid ny
the foreign exporter and not by the
American importer and purchaser and
consumer of the goods. If that is So,
what does it matter to the American
people whether the tariff is high or
low? If the foreigners only pay the
tariff on exports to the United States
why should the question enter into
American party politics at all?
Take Great Britain, for example.
Does Mr.. McCleary mean that the
British shipper pays duty at the GUS
toms house in Liverpool on goods con-
signed to his agent or customer in
New York? If he thinks so, he is la
boring under a delusion, for Great
Britain, like the United States, inn
poses no duties on exports.
What, then, does he mean? He prob
ably means to say that the British ex-
porter allows the American importer
for the duty paid at the New York
custom house. That is exactly what
lie does, and in that sense only does
he pay the tariff.
! In order to enable the American inn
porter of foreign wares to enter into
competition with the American manu-
facturer, the foreign shipper must not
only allow for the tariff on his wares
at the port of entry, but must also al
gin of profit to the American imporr-
er. The lower the tariff. the higher he
can charge for his wares, and the
higher the tariff, the lower he can
charge for them. If the tariff is so
high that after allowing for it he
makes no profit. he will not ship at
all. but seek other markets for his
goods.
But does Mr.. McCleary believe that
the purchaser of the imported articles
and the consumers thereof in this
country do not pay the tariff? They
certainly do. or else there would be
no occasion for demand by tho
American people for "a reduction" or
"a revision" Of the tariff schedules.
The American importer of foreign
goods pays the duty on them at New
York. Boston or Philadelphia. On
woolen goods, for instance, he pays
two kinds of tariff, namely. ad valor-
EN- and specific. the former being ac-
cording to the cost or invoice price #
the article taxed, and the latter with
out reference to the value or invoice
price. but on account of the materill
OF which the imported article is made.
And at this point. we desire to say 20
Mr.. McCleary that the tariff paid u,,
imported articles is tax. and that the
American people pay it for a two-f lid
purpose, viz, to afford protection to

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

For the past month the Minneapolis
school board has been subjected to
considerable criticism by the daily
press of the city. The Journal under
the new management, on the eve of
the primary election, was the first to
cast suspicion on the integrity of three
members Of the board who were can
didates for reelection, and the voters
defeated them at the polls next day.
Some days afterward, VIM. K. Hicks.
the secretary of the board, was in
dicted by the grand jury Of Hennepin
county on the charge of receiving a
bribe from teacher who sought j
position III the schools, and of taking
was detective in disguise. Hicks
was arrested, furnished bonds for his
appearance in court, and is now await
ing trial before jury Of his peers.
After tile arrest Of Hicks, the re-
porters Of the, daily papers published
q lot Of sensational news about tho
other members of the board and did
their very best to make mountain out
of molehill; but their charges were
so far fetched and insignificant that
the high character of the officials suf-
fered no injury at their hands. The
public has acquitted them of any will
full intention te do anything improper
iii the discharge of their duty as MEM
bers of the board. Judge Steele, in his
interview in the Tribune, challenged
the critics Of the board to probe things
to the bottom and charged there was
q conspiracy on foot to destroy the
character and reputation of honorable
men who were serving the public with
out fee or reward. He offered to give
the names of the conspirators to the
grand jury If called upon to do so.
The most serious charge made by
the Republican papers against the
members OF the board was that they
held too many secret sessions and ex-
cluded reporters from the meetings.
The members contend that they are
fully justified in holding executive ses-
sions and they intend to hold them in
future. whenever they deem it neces-
sary for the good of the schools.
Many matters are discussed in execu-
tive sessions that the public should
not know. as for example the purchase
Of property for school purposes. tho
charges against teachers, the com.
plants against pupils for a breach of
discipline. or for misconduct and i'm
morality. They consider 1t their
bounden duty to keep such things from
reporters who may publish them to
the world for sensational effect.
The charge has been insinuated in
the daily press that some of the men,
bers of the board are under the infiu-
erce of .he American Book Company
trust. and that too high prices are
being paid to it for books and other
re quisites. Why not probe the mat
ter to the bottom and find out for a

If the tariff is such a boon to .he
laboring men of this country, why IS
it that they find 1t necessary to or

and lockouts, SO many shutting down
of factories so many short hours ct

from whose effects the country at larg,

schedules are at the highest notch and

1t was the contention Of the advo.

of the necessaries of life would be

the American manufacturers; but the
manufacturers are so kind and good
natured to one another, that instead II
entering into competition they organ
