of various grades Of wool by his side,
gave.a lecture on the woolen industry

tors focked about him to examine the
samples. Most of the day was occu-
pied by Senator Dolliver, whoN propos-
ed, among other things, an amend.
ment to assess duties on woolens on
an ad valorem basis according to the
shrinkage of the wool. Senator

before this country" When the
chair called Mr.. LaFollette to order
because Of his personal allusion, the
latter said he. had not noticed that
the rule forbidding personal illusions
had been applied equally to all Sena-

voted down, as also several amend
ments by Senator Bacon and one by

REVISED BY IT'S FRIENDS"

Not long ago Senator LaFoIlette
called on the department of Com
merce and Labor for information
relative to the value of goods i'm
ported into the United States. the
amount of duty paid on such imports
under the DINGHY act and what the
duty will be should the pending tariff
Dill become a law. 1907 is the last
year for which reports are completed
and in that year our imports amount
ed to 6S6 million dollars, not count
ing goods received from the Philip
pine Islands and Cuba. The effect of
the Payne-Aldrich bill, should it pass.
will be to either leave the tariff on
so IL per cent. of these imports UNI
changed, or to increase the rate,
while on 9 IL per cent. the duty will
be decreased.
The following facts are worthy of
note-that the duty on 621 millions
of imports will be unchanged or rails
ed-in some instances as much as 70
per cent. above the Dingley law, while
the rate on 65 millions will be de-
creased about 81 per cent and that
the rate of increase on all imports
amounts to more than 4 per cent.
above the present rate.

electoral votes for President upon
the Peoples Party ticket. This large
vote frightened the oppressors of the
nation. Something must be done to
stay the tide of liberty and virtue
from rising any higher, so in 1896
the conspiracy was carried out with
General Weaver as the chief con-
spirator. Had Weaver remained true
he would have been President of the
United States long ere this, and the
many reforms which the people are
ever demanding but never getting
would have become the law of the
land before now. But he, traitor
like, preferred to cast his lot with
wealth, cunning and rascality to that
of standing forth as a champion
(Which he had been before his recre-
ancy) of poverty, intelligence and
virtue. General Weaver is now APP
preaching his last milestone and he
can justly look back and see, with
great disappointment, what might
have been. Whenever he hears the
name of Tom Watson he should hang
his head in shame and humiliation,
and when he passes away he will
leave behind him an object lesson in
his own political life for the rising
generation to view with adherence,
for he was a great teacher, and after
teaching the great principles of JUS
tice and equality he deserted his pu-
pills and went, unblushingly, over to
the element he had been so vigorous
ly denOuncing. Thus he stands be-
fore the world today with $50 much
glory, and so much shame. THE

Public Opinion Throughout the Union

the Senate increases the tariff on
metal imports rs per cent over the
present law. Our imports of metal
goods in 1907 amounted to only
million dollars, but a high tariff on
that class of goods enables our manu-
facturers to increase their prices to
the amount represented by that Is
per cent. tariff increase, before for
eign competitors can come in, and by
stopping the price Just short of the
rs per cent. they can keep out all for
eign competition, thus continuing the
present trust monopoly. The same is
true Of every other item Of the bill
where there is an increase in the rate.
1t will thus be seen that our tariff,
revised by it's friends while it will
not produce an appreciate increase
in government revenue, will enable
the trust to increase the price of their
wares to the consumers, who have no
means of securing relief. Our tariff
is being revised by it's friends" but
it is going to be hard on the people

GENERAL WEAVER THE TRAITOR.

General James B. Weaver, the trail
tor, is here in Seattle occupying great
space in the traitors organ. General
Weaver has been in Seattle before on
worthy mission to which he betray-
ed his trust. When he was here be-
fore the editor of The Patriarch was
on the reception committee to receive
him in becoming manner as the
standard bearer of the Peoples Party
He led on the hosts of this party I'M
til victory was in sight. He then be-
trayed them to the enemy, the Bryan
ties of the Democratic party, the chief
conspirators in this conspiracy being
General Weaver, w. J. Bryan and U.
S. Senator Allen, of Nebraska The
Seattle Daily Crimes does not, in the
long, conspicuous prominence he
(Weaver) occupies, tell the public
that this traitor to one million and a
quarter of voters was ever here in
Seattle before. Nay, nay; "discre-
ton is the better part of valor' with
them, as the infamous transactions
with which they were mutually con-
nected will not bear the light of day.
The muckrake must not be employed
by them Or the 'mucksters'' would
have to meet the scorn of honest
men. AS guilty conscience needs no
accusing" their silence gives consent
to their infamies. The Patriarch
echoes the sentiments of a MILLION
AND A QUARTER OF VOTERS who
voted for General Weaver in 1892,
and it reaches, directly and indirect
ly many thousands of them now in
different States of the Union, and
they have all declared in their heart
of hearts that the Democrats shall
never win so long as General Weaver,

national leaders of the Democratic
party.
Here is a song" I now write en-
tirely from memory which [ wrote
and published in The Peoples Call in
Seattle in 1892. I used to sing it at
conventions and it aroused the fol-
lowers Of Weaver, for it echoed their
sentiments, and it is fairly descrip-
tive of the conditions, both then and
now Here it is:
[ bear the name of Benjamin, though
some may call me Ben,
[ represent the barons bold of the
Wall street Upper Ten
For four long years I've held the fort,
supported by the gang,
But the People say I've had my day
Midst spoils and trusts pro tenn
The People cry they've labored long,
for years and years in the past,
But now they rise up in their might,
and shout their lOudest blast,
That they no longer slaves will be as
in the years just past,
But virtue once again will shine de-
spite the banker class.
The Barons bold now all declare
they've formed strong combine
Of railroad trusts and syndicates;
they're feeling quite sublime
But Weaver bold and gallant Field
will knock them out of time,
On the eighth day of November next
oppression must decline.
The BarOns all, both great and small,
have had the upper hand,
With mischief bent and bad intent
they all can do the grand;
Now don't you see the G. O. P. are
ruined heart and hand,
For the People say they've had their
day and they'll force them to dis
band.

went from place to place all over the
country organizing reform party
clubs, declared this to be the best po-
litical song anywhere in America of

air to it, and the song took like light

the purchase gives it all the western helf

The board will look over plans for the

that the building will be ready for use
when the schools re-convene in Septem-
Der. after the summer vacation. The cost
will be $4,000 approximately, besides $500
for the manual training building There
will be a covered concrete and steel bridge

forcing easy means of communication
With the completion of this addition
the Wasatch school will be one of the
