favor, to draw q heavy tribute from
the American people. This mons.rous
pcrversion of those equal %opportuni.
! ties which our political Institutions
were established to secure has caused
what may once have been infant In
dustries to become the greatest com
binations of capital that the world has
ever known. These especial favorites
of the government have, through trust
methods, been converted into monop.
olies, thus bringing to an end domes-
tic competition, which was the only
| alleged check upon the e~xtravagant
profits made possible by the protec-
tive system. These industrial combina-
tons, led by the financial assistance
they can give, now control the policy
Of the Republican party" That plat
form further declared: 1--WE denounce
protectionism as a robbery Of the
many to enrich the few, and we favor
a tariff limited to the needs of the
government, economically, effectively
and constitutionally administered, and
so levied as not to discriminate
against any industry, class, or section
to the end that the burdens of taxa
ton shall be distributed as equally as
possible. We favor a revision and a
gradual reduction Of the tariff by the
friends Of the masses and for the
common veal, and not by the friends
Of its abuses, its extortions, and It's
determinations, keeping In view the
ultimate end of equality of burdens
and equality of opportunities and the
constitutional purpose OF raising a
revenue by taxation, to-wit, the sup
port of the federal government in all
its integrity and virility, but in SIM
plicity."
These declarations of the Democ-
racy show 1t favors tariff reform. be.
cause so-called protection has fostered
the trusts which by high prices for
their products have increased the cost
of living over SO per cent.
The Republican tariff policy has
been to increase the tariff tax instead
of reducing it and the leaders still re-
fuse to revise even the most oppres-
sive schedules. Speaker Cannon but
a few days ago speaking to the Asso-
citation of American Potters declared
that the tariff tax on crockery should
be increased.
The attempt OF President Roosevelt
to convict and punish the trusts for
restraining trade" has been a COM
plete failure, and trust prices will re-
main %exorbitant until the tariff Is so
revised as to produce competition
from abroad, which will compel the
trusts to reduce the price of their
products or lose trade.

BOTHERED BY THE PANIC.
Official of Protective Tariff League In
Hard Straits.

The treasurer and general secretary
of the Protective Tariff league thinks
"the changes in the Dingley tariff bill,
for which the administration is re-
sponsible, have worked serious harm
to the industries of this country n
have cut down imports alarmingly."
AS the present tariff law was intend
ed to prevent imports. and thus pro-
tect the trusts from competition from
abroad, why this change OF front on
the part of it's subsidized chieftain2
He should be glad instead of regret
ting that imports are reduced. The
changes in the tariff law attributed to
the administration are the Cuban
treaty which reduced the tariff on
| sugar and other products 20 per cent.
AS & is the chief article Of i'm
port from Cuba and still pays over 55
per ZEN ad valorem, to protect the
sugar trust, which controls the HON
grown sugar, that reduction can hard

It is true the imports from Germany

Tariff League is in q tight place on
account of the panic and finds no way
to creep out of 1t, except by laying the
blame on those simple notifications
of the tariff enumerated above. Az

Farmers and Fertilizers.

W. w. Welch, State bushes manager
of the Mississippi branch of the Farmers
Union, has issued an address to the mem
bership relative to the use of fertilizers
during the coming crop year. In sub
stance, Mr.. WEIGH urges the members
to book their orders for fertilizers as
early as possible, in order that deliveries
may be made before a car famine delays
shipments from the factories. He also
urges the members to be very careful in
placing their orders, and to patrcnize
only those concerns whose fertilizers
come up to the required chemical test
and are shown to be in accordance with
the guarantees of relative values stamped
thereon.
