THE ALLEGED
TARIFF CONSPIRACY

We shoud like to know what new
light has been received by those sen
ators who protesting to be Republicans
are now clamoring for radical redue-
tions in the tariff on the plea that the
present tariff law is conspiracy to
dcspoil the poor people of the coun

already burdcned with excessive wealth.
L. was but few years since they were
champions of the protective principles
hut now they outdo the most radical

manding reductions.
it certainly was not a conspiracy
4aau the poor when the republican
party enacted the first protective tariff
law and thus erected shelter against
foreign competition behind which the
industries of this country have been
enormously developed and the United
States has become a nation of people
who do their own work and thus make
them elves economically Independent of
other parts of the world.
Under the benefcent influence of pro
ioctiou the industries of the country
have been mu tiplied over and over
again, and have acquired so many forms
that like the braces and girders in .
great bridge, they strengthen and sup
port one another in thousand different
ways and directions. They give EN-
ployment TO hundreds of thousands of
people who would have no employment
in this country if it We're not for the ex
istence of those industries. These peo-
pie would have to look abroad for the
employment they now obtain here if
.hore We're no protection, for then the
United States would have to depend
upon the labor and the productive en-
ergy of other countries for the supply
of numerous wants now supplied by
domestic industries.

1t is surely no exploitation of the

give employment to labor it also benz

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF

No one denies thar the business men
of Gleuwood and every other town or
city in the country should have pro-
lection not only from mail order houses,
but from the class of men, who enter
the city for few months while the
business is brisk and reap a harvest
and then leave for greener fields.
Glenwood business men have been
up against that sort of thing for years.
Each summer finds an array of outside
men coming in with small stocks of
notions which they seek to unload oa
the tourists while the home business
man who pays taxes and supports the
town. must take his chances against
these non-taxpayers. On strawberry
day each year there are many who
come for the one or two days OF tesT
tivities and all leave with snug sum
of money, which had they been com
PEELED to pay a license they would not
have secured.
Again has the plea been set mp by
the Glenwood business men that these
travellers should be forced to pay -
license fee, which is in nature tariff
for the protection of the local business
men. They should be forced to pay
the fee. They have no other interest
here than that of reapiug money while
Glenwood is filed with people. When
the snow begins to fall and the trade
falls off. the traveller moves on and
the taxpayer is thus left to hold the
sack.
No doubt our city council, which is
composed of democrats from start to
finish will grant tue wish of the bust
ness men and place a tax on the short
stayers. But in doing so they are
adopting the very principles for whie'
the republican party has fought all
these years and the principle which By
being adopted has made this country
the greatest on the face of the globe.
A protective tariff Is good for tho
country as well "a for Glenwood and
an ice cream man that has been IN the
business for ten years is no more en-
titled to. protection than is the man
that has been making other articles
for several years. Both should be pro
tected from foreign attack. The man
that come. from Denver to sell good
in Glenwood during the summer does
not paw a tax here. The foreign man
ufacturer that invades our markets
pays no tax in this country other than
the tariff he is forced to pay. Remove
the pro osective tariff from the Amerr
can business man and you are placing
him in exactly the same position a'
are the business men of Glenwood, who
are today elamoring for a protective
tariff in the guise Of a special license
fee.
After all the republicans and dem
ocrats are not so far apart. Both wan'
the American business man protected
The only difference is that the repup
1can saws what he believes to be right
and the democrat campaigns on ON,
side Of the que..ion and when he reach
es Washington votes to protect the
business man with special protection
offered on what are called trust made
articles.
