The announcement that Senator Al
drich has yielded to demands for a
tarlff on oil and other products placed
on the free list by the Payne bill is not
surprising. The Eastern. tariff baron
is still to mnlct the producing West.
The whole tariff revision ia game Of
words. The sole object Is to hoodwink
the public.
The Payne bill, In its broader and
general aspects, was an: upward" ne.
vision measure. Remember that before
you accept the superficial statement
that the Aldrich substitute bill is d
downward" revision measure. Where
the Aldrich bill magnanimously lowers
duties that the Payne bill tries to In
crease, It takes good care that In most
cases the reductions are not made he
low the old Dingley standard. In other
words. the downward" revision fea-,
lures Of the Aldrlch bill are In the
main intended to deceive. They make
showing Of defense Of the peoples
interests that were wickedly menaced
BY the Payne bill. Yet ON closer analy-.
sis, 1t Is apparent that the real purpose
Of the Aldrich bill is to .'stand pat" as
far us possible, on the Dingley sched-
ules. W 8
Collusion between high tarin amos
ties in House and Senate Will not be
seriously denied. The Payne bill drew
the fire of protesting consumers. The
Aldrich bill seeks to mollify and CON.
ciliate. Glaring .robberies, like the
gloves and hosiery tax, are abandoned.
But always and this is the crux-the
people are asked to be thankful that
the new rates in the Aldrich bill are no
higher than the ones in the Dingley
act
It is an old subterfuge. Every pre-
vious tariff law. including the Dingley
act, the Mckinley act and the Wilson
act was the net result Of a jugglery OF
schedules. Where consumers got the
benefit Of reduction 1t was usually on
some Insignificant schedule. The real
beneaclaries, on the main schedules,
were the protected" trusts.
4 Neither the Payne bill nor the Al
drich bill reaches the marrow Of the
tariff issue us presented to the voters
In the late campaign. They are not
framed with a sincere purpose to ne
lieye the burdens of American consum-

The Leac;ng Paper of the County
Observation-Disclosures

We happened 10 drop into Her
Weathersby's store tother eve
while Wes Woodruff, our expert
hunter and trapper, was airing hi:
opinion concerning ex-President
Roosevelt going to Afriky on 4
hunting expedishiOn.
When Bingville first lernt some
time sinst that Mister Roosevelt
was going to Afriky, Yves he SET
down and TUX his pen in hand and
wrote to Roosevelt offering MS
! (Wesse's) services as guide for the
party through Afriky. Wes also
stated IN his letter that if Roose-
velt wanted him to he would also
cook during the trip, being as Wes
can make fine coffee and almost as
good flap jacks as YOU ever put
IHto your mouth. Wes he addressed
! the letter on to Washington in care
Iof the White House, and was so
sure that he would git the Job that
he told several that he had already
been engaged. Then he waited for
a answer, witch never come, and at
last Wes lernt through the news
papers that Roosevelt had left with
out him.
Ever sinst then Wes has been be-
lifting the Roosevelt trip to Afrikv
something awful, and tother night
when we dropt into the store he
was giving very free expression to
his feelings.
Deacon Snodgrass, in speaking
of the trip, said that he calkilated
that Theodore Roosevelt must be a
brave man to penetrate into the
heart of Afriky and hunt lions and
tigers to their layers and face
ellyfunts and rinocerhosses and
hipperpottamusses in bloody con-
flict. The Deacon said he wouldn't
banker much for job of that kind.
Then Wes he up and SAYS:
"The way you talk, Deacon. only
goes to show how ignorunt YOU be
about hunting in Afril1y. Lions and
tigers and ellyfunts ana rfnocer-
hoses and appropriateness amt
near so dangerous to meet up with
as you suppose becuz if they was
you wouldn't find Mister Roosevelt
hunting for EN-. Why, with nv old
muzzle loader shotgun I wouldn't
be afeared to meet in the woods
around here any hipperpottamusss
which ever wore hair, and as fer
lions and tigers and ellyfunts, ct
cetery, huntin them is Jest as tame
as shootin red squirrels. A hipper-
pottamuss," says Wes, els turrible
