The Old Guard ard the Tariff.

Never before in the history OF the
Republican party have the leaders OF
that organization in congress been
subjected 10 such fire as is now
concentrated on them from within
their own 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 tarin
practically equal to the difference be-
tween the cost OF production at home
and abroad They annot 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 Ifv-
ing They must. therefore. face the
fact that ans revision that does not re-
duce the cost OF living will not BE- the
kind OF revision that the people de.
mand. have been promised and have a
right 10 expect
That is TO say. these things cannot
be done BY the Old Guard without
putting their party in the position OF
nagrantly breaking faith with the peo-
pie Neither can they do these things
without going contrary TO the pledges

COST COUNTRY MUCH MONEY
Tna. President Roosevelt Neglected
His Duty in important Matter
Is Conceded.

The speech on the senate tariff bill
made by Mr. Aldrich in behalf OF tbs
Republican majority OF the finance
committee makes very plain these
things.
During the Roosevelt adninistrar
tion there was not adequate supsrVis-
ION by the president OF applications To
congress for money made by the Young
men and Old men in the several hu-
reaus Of the several departments.
They were extravaEant and made
without due care or regard for the
pecuniary condition OF the govern
ment n was Roosevelts special duty
and business to examine each applica-
tiou. He aid not do il faithfully. or II
he did examine he was reckless and
misleading In that which he approved.
He probably had no time for the work
because OF hts occupation In outdoor
performances. travelling. talking. writ
ing speeches and letters and denounc.
ing corporations and business men
Mr. Alirich also makes IL plain that
Roosevelt did not enforce the revenue
laws or levy and collect the Dingley
tariff rates. The finance committee OF
the senate estimates that Roosevelt's
neglect cost the country loss OF over
s. 900 0o0 a year
Roosevelt never made mention OF his
defective revenue methods and of the
treasury neglect. He did cot tell con-
gress or the country OF the losses tn
the revenue By smugglers. makers Of
false declarations OF values and quanti-
ties and inefficient customs officers.
He probably was ignorant thereof He
did not point out that excessive tax
rates always stimulate the venal- He
sail nothing Of all those revenue mat
ters. He was too much occupied In
PLAYING politics. making speeches.
travelling. causing panics. and doing
everything besides enforcing Pc
cuniary economy and the laws.
II IS TO be hoped his successor will
take warning from the speech OF Mr..
Aldrich

The hardest knock the Republican

Spartng his party. Mr.. Ahlrich does
not aid that this was done in a time
OF general business depression. while
thousands OF wage-earnerS were out OF
employment ami the receipts OF the
treasury were running behind its ex.
psnditures az the rate of some ST.. 900.

senator Ahlrich does not rub IN
upon his party the hard and hurting
truth that. while people of all cunali-

etaI statement. that fulI nvs per cent.
OF the sum was unnecessary. even IN

Honest confession. We all know. is

anee for past financial sins against the
people there is no sign in Senator
Aldrich's speech nor tn the tariff
schedules with which be replies TO the
wide public demand for less burden

staple necessaries % life he leaves the
outrageous Dingley taxes untouched.
while In the complete list OF things
classed a uecessaries the reduction
from the Dtngiey 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 prohibitfve as pos
sible instead Of bringing il down to the
revenue-producing level desired by the
president
With such financial policies il is
not surprising to hear from Mr.. AL
