WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Repub- licans, if they control the next Con gress, will not need the advice and as sistance of a Tariff Commission; foi all they need do is to call in the ex- perts and attorneys of the Trusts. That is what they did in 1897 when the present tariff law was fixed up. What is the use of deceiving the tax payers, as Congressman Payne does, by declaring that tariffs have al- ways been made without anything like adequate information" MT. Payne and the other members of the Ways and Means Committee were fully ad- vised, when they were considering the Dingley tariff law, that the high rates demanded by MT. Carnegie ana the Steel Trust people would breed monopoly. When they allowed the Standard Oil Trust attorney to write the proviso to the oil schedule they knew they were protecting the trust and adding at least 50 per cent to the price of kerosene to the American people and the poorest people at that.
 When they accepted the Beef Trust schedule on hides they pretended to be protecting the American farmer.  Leather and Beef Trusts. When they accented the wool schedule of the Wool Growers association they knew they were adding 75 per cent, at least, to the cost of woo1en goods to those peo- pie of Northern States, who from ne cessity have to buy them and instead of helping the farmers, it was the flock masters of the great Western J4s- I,AN When they wrote the schedule that protects the Paper Trust they must have Known the newspaper owners would have to pay the tariff duty in increased profit to the trust Not a schedule, but was carefully considered and all with the same intent and pur pose of adding to the burdens of the people for the benefit of the Trusts
 The Trusts were we'll acquainted with the facts and in return have peey most liberal contributors to the cam paign fund of not only the Reuubll can National Committees, but also tc the committee who manages the cleo ton of Congressman. Millions have been paid by the trusts and protected monoDolists to secure the election Of presidents and congressman. both oI the senate and house, who were sound on the tariff"
 And now the same old show is te be played again with a different title and the excuse that there must be 7dded uravimun schedule rates tO nro- tect us from the DauDer labor of Eng lang whose workingmen are now iD better circumstances than our owp workmen are because their cost of liv ing Is so much less.
 The English workingman has lower wages, but the world to draw upon
 for bic nenNsri+ior for every country, including the United States, sells him its surplus products in competition with each other, with no tariff duties to speak of to add to the price. Here everything imported that is manufac tured is taxed and the trusts profit by adding the tariff rate to their owp natural profit The only difference being that the government collects the tariff tax on the goods importe6 and the trusts collect the tariff tax on their products produced here while the tariff protects them from foreigp comDetition. It Is now supposed te
 promise the people to revise the tariff after election" but whether the tariff is to be revised lower or higher is left to the imagination of the voter As the Republican leaders now declare they must enact 8 maximum tariD as well as a minimum tariff, it is eyt dent that some of the trusts want stiD higher rates and no doubt they wip
 be accommodated bv their friends
 the Republican politicians.
