extracts from an article written by
Mr. Sargeant about the decision by
Judge Taft that was grievous
wrong:

strike which has aroused such in.

"May Be Reduced rlfw Per Cent"

"May BE Reduced Fifty Per Cent"
On August 23, 1907. Mr.. II. z. Miles.
chairman of the tariff committee OF
the National Association OF Manufac-
turers, wrote to Senator Foraker a
letter In which Mr.. Miles said:
about forty per cent OF all the
members OF our association who have
by correspondence pronounced for re-
vision declare In their letters that
their own schedules MAY PROPERLY
BE REDUCED FIFTY PER CENT OR
MORE WITHOUT HURT TO THEIR
RESPECTIVE INDUSTRIES OR TO
THE COUNTRY AT LARGE"
How exorbitant. must be this prec-
ious tarin fostered by the Republican
party when even forty per cent OF its
beneticiaries, frightened by the rising
tide OF public sentiment, admit that
their own schedules may properly be
reduced fifty per cent or more without
hurt to their respective industries. or
to the country at large"
II the common everyday experience
OF the consumers is not sufficient to
awaken Republican voters to the
iniquity OF the existing tariff system.

ferred to ought at least to challenge
attention and invite thoughtful inyesr

Since Senator Hanna's death
Mr.. Guilbert has found it to his
political advantage to form an alli-
ance with George B. Cox, the Cincin-
natl boss repudiated by Mr.. Taft at
Akron three years ago and now chair
man of Mr.. Tafts local advisory COM
mittee in CINCINNATI also with Wal
ter F. Brown, the Toledo boss and
lobbyist. These three constitute the
triumvirate" of which the Toledo
Blade (Rep.) and other Republican
papers have had so much to say since
the state Republican convention.
With these three bosses are linked
a number Of local bosses, through the
strings Guilbert has been able to
work by reason Of acts he has lobbied
through the state legislature raising
the Office of state auditor from a cler.

power to make and unmake numerous

or more officers; gives him strangle-
hold on corporations through the
boards which assess and equalize cor

Such is the evolution of the political
power Of State Auditor Guilbert until
he IL stronger than Cox or Brown
and all the local bosses combined.
