TO MR.. TAFT
WILL HE STAND WITH PEOPLE
AGAINST STANDPATTERS?
At Present 1t Looks as If Clique OPP
posed to Tariff Revision Is in
Control of the Repub-
lican Party.

1t would be interesting to know
whether William Howard Taft or a
clique headed by Cannon and differed
by Payne, Dalzell, Mccall, Aldrich and
Burrows is to carry into effect the
solemn promise of the Republican
party to revise the tariff. From pre-
liminary statements made by Cannon
and Payne it is very plain that their
ideas of revision are out of accord
with the popular Interpretation of the
promises made by the party both in
its platform and through its candi-
date for the presidency,
1t may be conceded that the adjust
ment, revision and correction of the
tariff schedules will take account of
the unprotected condition of some few
articles of domestic production; but
the demand, Republican as we'll as
Democratic, for revision had no foun-
dation in such oversights if there are
any of them. From all sides the un-
partisan clamor has been for the re-
peal of the extravagant Dingley sched-
ules, which may or may not have fitted
the conditions that existed at the time
of the enactment of the law. How"
ever that may be, the business con-
ditions of the country have changed
more since 1897 than in any previous
ha%lf-century of the nations existence.
Dingleyism was obviously obsolete six
years ago.
Thousands of believers in protection
have indorsed the demand for the re-
vision of the Dingley law and by re-
vision these thousands have meant,
not a mere change, but a general
reduction which would remove in
large degree the opportunities for
levying tribute on the domestic con
sumer. So far in the official progress
of the movement the consumer, help.
less and ~unorganized, has not been
mentioned. We hear that the ways
and means committee will give hear
ings to both sides, but there is only
one side that can and will make itself
heard. The consumer looks to Mr.
Taft for the aid he wants, and Mr.
Taft seems, so far, at least, to be the
merest cipher in the scheme. How
vigorously he may assert himself
later we may not say, but it is plain
that if he doesn't, the tariff will be
indeed revised by its friends-and the
friends of tariff rates that are pro
hibitive.-St. Louis Republic.

TAXING THE FARMERS HOME.
Illustration Of the Inequality of Pres
ent Tariff Rates.

If II tariff ~iniquity more than
another bears with extra weight
on the farmer and the working
man as contrasted with the rich it is
the protection which has enabled the
lumber barons to roll up their millions.
The rich mans house stands on a
foundation of stone, which can be ia
ken from the nearest quarry at little
cost. The poor mans house stands
on posts and every post must pay tax
to the lumber kings.
The rich mans house has walls of
brick, from the nearest brickyard, I'M
taxed by the tariff. The poor mans
house is framed of scantling and
walled with boards. Every scantling
and every board is taxed by the lum-
Der barons through tariff protection.
The rich mans house has floors of
tile and wainscots of marble. The
poor mans house has floors and
wainscots of wood. The thing and
marble are not taxed, as they should
be. Every inch of flooring and wains.
coting pays tribute to the lumber tar.
if barons.
The rich mans house is rooted with
untaxed slate, The poor mans house
is rooted with shingles. Every sep
arate single pays it's part of an I'm,
just tax to make millions for the lum
Der barons.
The frame" house of the farmer
the w%orkingman, the dweller in vii
lagos and small towns pays for the
brick and stone and marble and slate
of the lumber tariff baron's splendid
castle. 1t pays through the tariff. Il
pays because it's owner is foolish
enough to believe Republican prom
ises of tariff reduction and elect Re
publican presidents and Republican
administrations.
How much longer will the poor MAJ
vote to tax himself for the benefit o
the rich when it lies in his power tt
give himself a fair show by reducing
the tariff?-Chicago Journal.

Glow of Health Speaks for Postum

It requires no scientific training to
discover whether coffee disagrees or
not.
Simply stop it for a time and use
Postum in place of it, then note the
beneficial effects. The truth will appear.
six years ago l was in a very bad
condition" writes a Tenn. lady, II suf-
fered from indigestion, nervousness
and insomnia.
Il was then an inveterate coffee
drinker, but it vas long before could
be persuaded that it was coffee that
hurt me. Finally l decided to leave it
off a few days and find out the truth.
THE first morning l left off coffee I
had a raging headache, so decided l
must have something to take the place
of coffee" (The headache was caused
by the reaction of the coffee drug
caffeine.)
Having heard Of Postum through a
friend who used it, I bought a package
and tried it. / did not like it at first
but after I learned how to make 1t
right, according to directions on pkg,
l would not change back to coffee for
anything.
When | began to use Postum I
weighed only III lbs. Now I weigh
ITO and as | have not taken any tonic
in that time ! can only attribute my
recovery Of good health to the use Of
Postum in place Of coffee.

, vertisement for Postum. / am glad to

friends to use Postum, too"

l~eague-long ranches under Mexican
rule. William Anthony came west
with the first rush, found and claimed
his nephew, mined, traded and grew
enormously wealthy; though he lived
always in the wilds, visiting cities only
as compelled.
"On the bleak side of a Washoe
mountain he built a palace, the won
der of the decade; sen for his daugh-
ter, and reared the two children in
an isolated luxury that was the source
of many Aladdin-like tales. But failure
came, removal, wandering; and the
Anthonys were lost to the world that
had known them. Later the father
was killed by Indians; and the chill
dren, by this time man and woman
grown, drifted, unknown and unknow-
ing, into the needless stream of hui
manity.
1.-The sequel proves that William
Anthony never forgave his brother;
for the boy grew up as a dependent,
called only Gideon Ingram, and never
knowing his right to his uncle's name,
Senior Guerrero died some years ago
willing his estate to his grandson and
providing for a search for him. Yet
it is probable he would have remained
undiscovered had not the agents pur
chasing right of way for the Southern
Pacific Railroad company needed his
signature. His identity was discov
cred some time ago, but his story i:
now for the first time made public"
Here followed the interviews.

and hastily prepared, eager for the
out-of-doors, for motion.
She was taking up the reins when a
card was brought her-Gideon's. She
started back and would not touch it,
till penciled words caught her eye.
"Stella, I have wronged you; but If
you have read the morning paper you
know how your father wronged me.
Blood makes us cousins. must see
you a moment, must a little atone
How could she see him? Yet she
must. Childhood memories, the in
justice he had suffered, his sorrows,
all pleaded for him. Yet not in the
narrow c~loseness of a room. 1t would
be easier out in the open, away from
her own house.
TELL him I'm driving" she said to
the maid. ASK him to step to the
front door,"
Esther drove around the house to
find him standing, bareheaded, on the
graveled road. He was haggard and
thin, his shoulders stopped, his eyes
gloomy. His clothes were handsome
and we'll made; but they had a bor-
rowed, misfitting look, that was pitt
full to Esther. He did not speak, but
stood waiting, slightly bent, only his
somber eyes pleading.
"Will you drive with me, Gideon?'
she asked quietly.

and by way Of trading OF the capital
his brother had made, told her, in the
poor Spanish he could command and
in the scant English she could compre-
bend, the story of his life, home and
friends, a story that included a certain
delicate maiden, his brothers be-
trothed, who embroidered intermin-
ably upon her trousseau and wept be-
cause her lover came not.
1.-THE fiery beauty carried the situa-
ton with a high hand. More than n

Guerrero in escorting William An
thony out of town And from that
hour the younger man raj swept for

adroitly exercised, SO imperious, that
had his heart not acquiesced he could
hardly have escaped standing at the
altar in his brothers place and taking
to wife the woman who was to have
been his sisterin-law. The spell she
wove was deep and lasting. He loved
her, endured her hasty temper, for

Though she called it hate), and died
a heart-broken man when, two years
later, the birth of their child cost her
life. The last written word of the
young husband was a plea to his broth
er for forgiveness and a request that
Lolita's child, Gideon ingram Anthony,
might find a second father In his uncle.
"But William Anthony, melancholy.
resentful, was wandering I've the I'M
peopled wastes of Alta California,
vainly seeking relief from a sore
heart. And Gideon's grandfather, not
trying very hard, 1t Is suspected, failed

New England found him, however;

early love was slowly fading away.
Conscience-stricken, he FASTENED back,

apparent success to nurse her to

their only child was born"

An Old Trick.

The country must earnestly hope
that the ~disgraceful policy of promis-
ing during national campaigns that
the tariff shall be revised for the re-
lief of the American public and the ex-
tension of American trade and then
breaking these promises after the cleo
ton is now a thing of the past. The
tariff question looms up prominently
and must be met on the reassembling
of congress. In any event, the con
vening of the new congress in extra
session next spring to deal with tariff
matters is to be expected If the new
president lives up to his party's obli-
cations.

e "Nowhere''-and of many other
remarkable and suggestive books, is
now more read than during his life

notebooks he tells this incident, which
must have amused the great Charles
Darwin:

Effect of the Tariff,

A great statesman, Edmund Burke,
said more than a hundred years ago.
that "a small wealthy class is much
less quickly and seriously injured by
the consequences of disagreement
than the great individual community.
1t may be even benefited by a policy
which is very injurious to the country
at large" Do not these two sentences
accurately describe the condition pro-
duced by the existing tariff, with a
comparatively small class of wealthy
trusts and monopolies preying upon
the mass of the nation?
