FOR JUST TAXATION
THE ATTITUDE OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC PARTY.
Stands for Revenue Tariff All Along
the Line, with Such Protection
Only as May Be Incidental
to the Raising of
Revenue.

In his communication to the Repub-
lie, Senator Stone stated a truth that
should be remembered In all tariff dis
cussion when he said that the impor-
tation duty free of raw materials used
in the manufacture of articles pro-
tected by a monopoly tariff is nothing
more nor less than a bounty to mo-
nopoly.
The Democratic doctrine that tariff
shall be levied for revenue does not
mean that there shall be free trade
in some articles and prohibitive tariff
on others. There would be no rev.
enue at all in a tariff like that. The
Democratic principle is that the tax
ing power of the government shall be
used to raise money for support of
the government economically admins
tered and that this power shall not be
used to Cypress the larger part of the
people while comforting special priv
ileges upon the minority.
The high protective tariff on blank
cts and wooden goods, for instance,
restricts importations and deprives
the government Of the revenue it
might derive from lower tariff taxes
on those articles. Purely as a rev.
enue measure, therefore, it is only
just that the manufacturers of wooden
goods should be required to contrib
ute to the treasury through the tariff
on raw wood to make up for the rev
enue that is lost by the prohibitive
tariff on their products and in COM
pensation for the privilege they enjoy
of taxing the American onsume of
wooden goods to the point of robbery.
There is hardly an article in the
schedules of the Payne act the manu-
facturer of which canot well afford to
pay revenue through a tariff tax or
the raw material he uses, and a tax
more just could not be levied.
But the Democratic party does not
advocate prohibitive tariff on manu-
featured goods and revenue tariff for
raw materials. 1t stands for revenue
tariff all along the line, with such
protection only as may be incidental
to the raising of The Demo
cratic party does not propose to ar.
range a tariff on wool and its products,
for instance, to put money into the
pockets Of either the sheep men or
the manufacturers of wool. If the
tariff on wooden goods is so arranged
that it yields a good revenue, the rev.
enue now derived from the tariff or
raw wool can be dispensed with. And
this is true of nearly every American
industry.
For a wonder this Democratic pol
icy was applied by the Republican
congress when 1t put hides on the
free list and reduced the tariff on
leather, shoes and harness toward the
revenue basis. The Democratic pol
icy is to act upon this principle with
respect to all manufactures.-St. Louis
Republic.

MIXED IN HIS STATEMENTS
Discrepancies In Arguments Seem to
Suggest That There Are Two
Tafts on the Platform.

We learn from Mr.. Taft's speech at
Winona that "the Payne tariff bill is
the best tariff bill that the Republic
an party has ever passed"
We learn also that the wool SEIZED
ule lis too high" and that it Ought
to have been reduced" but that a com
bination of the wool growers and wool
manufacturers was sufficiently strong
to defeat any attempt to change the
WOODEN tariff, and that had it been at.
tempted it would have beaten the bill
reported from either committee"
We learn also that through the tar
III board the president expects to OBJ
tain data upon which a new and proper
revision of the tariff might be had"
but that it will probably take the rest
of this administration to accumulate
such data.
We learn also that after the Payne
tariff (Which is "the best tariff bill
that the Republican party has ever
passed') has been in operation for
two or three years 1--WE can tell more
accurately than we can to-day it's eff
feet upon the industries of the coun-
try and the necessity for any amend
ment in its provisions"
The average reader is likely to be
hopelessly bewildered by the contradi-
lions and conflicting statements of
Mr.. Taft's speech, but it must be re
membered that there are two Tafts on
the platform. One Taft is the Repub-
lican party's lawyer. He has a bad
case and a sinful old client who has
been caught with the goods more
times than can be enumerated. The
other Taft is a straightforward, hon
est-minded statesman who is trying
to do his best and is having a good
deal of trouble with some of his asso-
ciates. When both of these Tafts talk
at once there is bound to be confusion.

many genuine testimonials, as has Lydia E. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound.
In almost every community you will find women who
have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every woman you meet has
either been benefited by it, or knows some one who has.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, are files con-
tanning over one million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health, in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have regained their health by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Ve1esable Compound is made ex.
clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is SO successful is because it contains
ingredients which act directly upon the female organism,
restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency Of this simple remedy.

When to Send Children to Europe.

Some people wait SO long before
sending their children to Europe that
the little ones are Inundated by others
who have already been there. Every
sel~f-respecting parent will be careful
not to subject his children to this evil
dent injustice; at the same time all
unseemly hurry is to be avoided.
Some people argue that as soon as a
child can walk well and speak a few
necessary French words, he should be
placed in a stateroom, next to a
private bath, and sent to Paris. 9th
ers feel that he must naturally lose
much at this age, and that the proper
time is between five and six, when
as an American-he has reached his
maturity.
Probably the ideal age is about four.
At four a child can easily do England,
France and Italy, and get home in
time for the first night at the opera

GOOD LAUNDRY BAG
PRETTY GIFT FOUND USEFUL
WHEN TRAVELLING.
Six Sheer Handkerchiefs, with Linen
Insertion, the Materials That Com
posed Ito Clean Wall
Paper.

An attractive bag to hold handker.
chiefs, neckties and other small arti-
Giles for the laundry, was made by a
girl for a friend, who was going abroad
on her wedding trip.
To make the bag dainty and at the
same time serviceable was something
of a problem. Six sheer ha~ndkerchiefs
with a graceful vine, in light blue, as
a border were picked up at a sale,
also some fine linen insertion that
washed well.
The six handkerchiefs were joined
by strips of the insertion, n strip run
ming l~engthwise and two across. This
put two handkerchiefs side by side
In each of the three rows.
The strip was doubled over through
the middle row of handkerchiefs and
the outer edges overcast together in
tiny stitches. The bag was lined with
lawn and color of the blue vine and
the ends were bound In an inch-wide
facing of the lawn, which was used as
a casing. A good quality of blue wash
ribbon was used for a draw string.
In the center Of the upper left hand
handkerchief was worked the initials
of the bride-to-be In a heavy padded
monogram.

is rubbed on the walls with a pad,
made by covering the end Of a mop
handle with cheesecloth. This pad
should be about six inches long and

""That's a fine horse, deacon, the

the other came nearer, he added:
"T bought him with my pickings

TAKE CARE OF GOOD HEALTH

ing for Bad to Come and
Then Coddlinq It.

If we would take as good care Of
our good health as we do of our bad
health we would have more of the
former and less of the latter. We set
our good health down in a draft and
let it get its feet wet; we infringe on
its sleep time and gorge it with IN
suitable food at irregular hours. We
load it with nerve-racking cares and
duties, and reply to its frantic ap.
peals for rest with, "You haven't
time" We squeeze it with clothing;
we distract its ears with noise and its
lungs with bad air. But we put our
bad health in a quiet room, On a soft
couch. We robe it in a comfortable
gown; we give it pure air at stated
intervals; We put ice on its head and
hot water at its feet; we feed it with
food convenient for it. We take
away all care and responsibility; we
give it a soothing draught to rest 1t;
and we pay a doctor two dollars to
come and leave it a scrap of paper
and say that it will better tomorrow.
One might think we preferred bad
health to good health. From an ar
