The Old Guard and the Tariff.

Never before in the history of the
Republican party have the leaders of
that organization in congress been
subjected to such a fire as is now
concentrated on them from within
their W ranks.
There are some facts that the Old
Guard of high protection cannot evade.
They cannot get away from the
pledges of the party to make the tariff
practically equal to the difference be-
tween the cost of production at home
and abroad. They cannot get around
the fact that such an adjustment
would mean a general downward re-
vision. They cannot ignore the fact
that the demand for tariff revision has
arisen from the excessive cost of liv-
ing. They must, therefore, face the
fact that any revision that does not re-
duce the cost of living will not be the
/ n OF revision that the people de-
mand, have been promised and have a
right to expect.
That is to say, these things cannot
be done by the Old Guard without
putting their party in the position of
flagrantly breaking faith with the PEG.
pie. Neither can they do these things
without going contrary to the pledges
or President Taft.-Kansas City Star.

BLAMES OWN PARTY
SENATOR ALDRIcH UNWITTlNG-
LY CRlTlcIsEs REPUBLICANS.
Senate Leader Shows Up the Criminal
Extravaganza of the Majority
During a Time of Business
Depression.

The hardest knock the Republican
party has received in many a day is
the assertion by Senator Aldrich, In
his opening tariff speech, that the last
congress appropriated out of the treas.
ury $50, 100000 more of the peoples
money than was necessary.
Sparing his parry, Mr.. Aldrich does
not add that this was done in a time
of general business depression, while
thousands of wage-earners were out OF
employment and the receipts Of the
treasury were running behind its ex-
penditures at the rate of some SIS, 000,-
900 a month.
Senator Aldrich does not rub in
upon his party the hard and hurting
truth that, while people of all condi.
lions were forced to resort to many
unaccustomed economies and men of
large wealth were compelled to cut
their personal and family expenses in
half, the Republican congress ex-
ceeded all previous records of extrav.
agauce.
A few years ago, on the basis of
government recklessly administered a
bihiGn of dollars sufficed for the ap-
preparations of two years. The last
congress went beyond the billion mark
in it's appropriations for one year, and
now comes the Republican leader of
the senate declaring, in a cold finan.
cial statement, that full five per cent

Honest confession, we all know, is
said to be good for the soul, but in or.

panied by repentance. But of repent.
ance fer past financial sins against the
people there is no sign in Senator
Aldrich's speech nor in the tariff
schedules with which he replies to the
wide public demand for less burden
some tariff taxes. On many of the
staple necessaries of life he leaves the
outrageous Dingley taxes untouched,
while in the complete list of things
classed as necessaries the reduction
from the Dingley rates is only a small
fraction of one per cent.
Evidently the aim of the Republican
senate leader has been to make the
new tariff as nearly prohibitive as pos
sible instead of bringing it down to the
revenue-producing level desired BY the
president.
With such financial policies it is
not surprising to hear from Mr.. AL
drich the expression of belief that the
governments Panama bonds cannot
much longer be sold at par unless the
interest on them is raised from two
per cent. to three per cent. The credit
of no government could long survive
such financial management as the Re-
publican party has been giving it. In
Senator Aldrich's speech the Repub,
lican party is bitterly, though not in
tentionally, damned by its own leader.

COST COUNTRY MUCH MONEY
That President Roosevelt Neglected
His Duty in Important Matter
Is Conceded.

The speech on the senate tariff bill
made by MIR. Aldrich in behalf of the
Republican majority of the finance
committee makes very plain these
things:
During the Roosevelt administra.
ton there was not adequate supervis-
ion by the president of applications to
congress for money made by the young
men and old men in the several bu-
of the several departments.
They We're ~extravagant and made
without due care or regard for the
p%ecuniary condition of the govern
ment. 1t was Roosevelt's special duty
and business to examine each applica-
ton, He did not do it faithfully, or if
he did examine he was reckless and
misleading in that which he approved.
He probably had no time for the work
because of his occupation in outdoor
performances, travelling, talking, writ
ing speeches and letters and denounc.
ing corporations and business e
Mr.. Aldrich also makes it plain that
Roosevelt did not enforce the revenue
laws or levy and collect the Dingley
tariff sites. The finance committee of
the senate estimates that Roosevelt's
neglect cost the country a loss of I'VE
$4,000, 900 a year.
Roosevelt never made mention of his
defective revenue methods and of the
treasury neglect. He did not tell on
gress or the country of the losses to
the revenue by smugglers, makers of
false declarations of values and quaint,
ties and inefficient customs officers.
He probably was ignorant thereof. He
did not point out that excessive tax
rates always stimulate the venal. He
said nothing of all those revenue mat
tiers. He was too much occupied in
playing politics. making speeches,
travelling, causing panics, and doing
everything besides enforcing pc
cuniary economy and the laws.
1t is to be hoped his successor will
take warning from the speech of Mr.
Aldrich.

her stateroom with a Mrs. Graham, also

a mania for sailing. They were intro

the girls of a robbery of jewels at the
