pirate as much for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1, 1909. That would
give our present Republican Congress
the unique record or being two bill
lion dollar Congress. Every dollar
the government expends Is paid in
some way by the people and voters
should remember that this year they
will pay $12 in taxes for each menu
ber of their families-a total tax OF
about 660 or each average family OF
five persons.
During the last four years of Re-
publican extravaganza there has been
appropriated $S,42S, 900 900 or S,9OO,-
900 more than the vast expenditures
during four years of civil war, so
that during that period each head of
family has paid, In national taxes
over 5000 and what has he got for
It?
Under Republican policies the tax
paid by the poor man Is as great as
the tax paid by the rich man. In
fact, in some cases the tax paid by
the poor man is greater. For in
stance, when Mr.. Rockefeller or any
other rich man. buys flannel for
underwear valued above 20 cents per
pound, he pays tariff tax of S6.39
per cent, but when a poor man
buys a cheaper grade of flannel for
his underwear, valued at not more
than 40 cents per pound, he pays a
tariff tax of 143 81 per cent. These
figures are the actual duties paid on
"fannel for underwear" as official
ly reported by the government for
the year 1907. AS the present Re
publican Congress refused to consider
any revision of this unequal tax, or
the many other like cases which the
present tariff law imposes, the high
rate of tariff taxes on flannels and
everything else that is included In
the tariff law still continues.
Yet many business men, farmers,
and those who have TO rely upon
wages still vote the Republican ticket
which is virtually to endorse the Re-
publican policy of taxing those with
small incomes more than those with
large incomes.
Surely 1t Is time for retrenchment
or reform, and experience shows that
neither can be expected from Re-
publican politicians.

THE COST OF LIVING

The average price of all commod-
tiles has advanced LIZ per cent from
June to July /, but the decline
since July l, 1907, to July /, 1908,
has been 1874 per cent, Eighty
seven cents therefore buys as much
now as one dollar did a year ago
Thus the Republican, panic has added
l3 per cent to the incomes OF those
who have as large incomes now as
they had a year ago, but to those who
are out of work, in consequence OF
the Republican panic and have no in
come, 1t spells disaster.
