To people who know even the pri-
mary principles Of the tariff issue, the
"stand-pat" logic as enunciated in stand
pa" organs is amusing. With a regu-
larity equal to that Of clock work they
iterate and reiterate that the purpose Of
the present tariff is to create revenue to
meet the expenses Of the government.
Yet casual glance at the existing rates
shows that they are so high as to make
importation prohibitive and when there is
no shipping in Of foreign goods there can
be no revenue to the government. If it
is revenue that the republican party is
after, it must reduce the tariff sufficiently
to induce foreign manufacturers to ship
goods to this country. The tendency
has been to increase the tariff at every
session Of congress since the enactment
Of the Mckinley bill until it has reach
ed the point where the American trusts
have it all to themselves. They can FIX
the price Of their output at whatever
figure they desire, knowing full well that
the tariff wall is so high that competition
is not possible. while on the other hand
they are privileged to sell in foreign
markets in free competition with foreign
manufacturers. Thus it is that the
American consumer pays more for Amer
lean made goods than the foreign con-
sumner pays for the same goods and,
while being held up. the government
does not derive a single penny in the
transaction for the home manufacturer
pays no tariff to the government. 1t is
just that much money taken from the
pockets Of the people and given to the
trusts. This is so plain that any man who
can read pd observe can understand.
And yet there are thousands upon thous-
and' Of people who in other respects are
shrewd and intelligent, who go on year
after year voting this burden upon them
selves.

Of all the foolish, nonsensical and
untenable objections ever urged against
the principle Of guaranteeing bank de-
posts, the following taken from last
weeks Cresset. reaches the climax:
Suppose the wealthiest man in this
community should endorse the CONNER
cial paper Of all his friends regardless Of
their financial and moral standing, and,
after doing that, should indorse the paper
Of all the strangers who presented notes
mortgages, ETC., for him to sign, how
long would he be considered a sound
6nancier and where would his credit be
after he had got through signing for his
acquaintance let alone strangersa"
The bank that guarantees its deposits
endorses" for no other bank save its
own. 1t pays simply what it costs to
guarantee its own deposits. just as man
who carries insurance on his property
pays what it costs to carry his insurance.
The hatched-up theory that one bank
assumes another banks obligation is only
a speculative theory based on fancy
rather than good reasoning or business
sense. When put to the test these weak
fancies fade away ike dew Of the NOM
ing as has recently been demonstrated
IN Oklahoma. The ANTS are on their
last pegs. Bank guaranty is already
here, and here to stay. In the course
Of time the sleepy-heads will get awake
and L arm this.

Referring to the decision Of the feder-
al court, destroying the Nebraska guar
anteed bank deposits law, Professor
George E. Howard Of Nebraska Uni
versity says: 1T is a mistake in a SELF
governing democracy to vest court with
power to declare a law enacted by the
legislature void. With respect to what
constitutes good law the legislature itself
is representing the will of the people,
should be supreme. The law making
body should not be subordinated to a
court. No other federal government,
Australia alone excepted, has given the
courts this dangerous authority. Neither
Canada, Switzerland, nor federal Ger
many have done so. For more than
two hundred years the English courts
have been incompetent to declare a par
liamentary statute void. The parliament
is higher than the court. Moreover, the
tenure Of the English judges is depend
ent on the will Of the two houses Of par
lament, which may remove a Judge on a
joint address to the executive, that is in
reality, to the prime minister, who elways
represents the will Of the house of COM
mons. 1t was not positively known that
our courts could determine the validity Of
either a state law or Of federal law un-
I'll the days Of Chief Justice Marshall.
1t may be that the makers Of the consti-
tuhon intended the courts to exercise this
junction; but it is easily conceivable that,
with different chief justice, the court
might never have established it by prec-
edent. The personal equation has al
ways counted much in our judicial his
tory. 1t is almost certain that eventually
public sentiment will demand an amend
ment to the constitution taking from our
Judges thi: dangerous and anomalous
power. If this decision is good law, it
nevertheless discloses IN our jurisprudence
a social menace. But is it good lawp
To the lay student Of our legal history

What the Payne-Aldrich Tariff
is Doing

7. A. McNeal. in propounding the
following questions to Congressman An
thony in the campaign in the First Con-
gressional District. lays bare the iniquities
Of the new republican tariff measure in
forcible manner. We invite every read
er of this paper to examine these decla-
ratons carefully, and then be honest
with yourself and your fellowmen when
the next election is held:
|. Do you know, Mr.. Anthony,
that the people Of this country consume
Is pounds Of sugar per capita per year
and that, counting our present POP ulahon
at 90 millions, the total amount OF sugar
consumed in year is billion pounds?
Do you know that on all this vast
amount the price by reason Of the tariff
is increased practically 2 cents per pound,
or total of 40 million dollars. and
that OF this sum only little more than SO
million dollars goes into the United
States treasury while the rest goes into
the pockets of the sugar rehneries, in
other words, the sugar trusts? Are you
in favor Of making an annual donation
to that outfit Of thieves Of 90 million
dollars?
2. Do you know that Of that dona-
ton to the thieving sugar trust $4,000
is contributed by the people Of our dis
trict9 Are you in favor Of making the
people Of this district dig up that $2l2,-
900 and hand il over to that band Of
thieves?
3 Did you know when you voted
for the Payne-Aldrich-C Cannon bill that
it increased the duty on shingles by 66
per cent and sawed heavy timbers by
80 l-3 per cent? If you did know it,
are you satisfied with it?
5 4. Are you in favor Of increasing
the tariff on cotton goods by an average
Of 20 per cent as this law does?
5. Are you in favor of taking the
duty off hides which the western farmer
raises and still leaving the duty on manu-
featured leather for the benefit Of the
New England manufacturer? If you
are not in favor Of that. why do you
vote for the Payne-Aldrich- Cannon bill?
6. Are you in favor Of an increase
Of 40 per cent on the tariff on structural
steel which goes into the construction Of
the dwellings, business houses, bridges
and other buildings and structures used
by the people? If you are not, why
did you support the Payne-Cannon-Al-
drich bill?
7. Are you in favor Of increasing
the cost Of cheap hosiery worn by the
masses Of the people2 If you are not,
why did you vote for the Payne Cam
non-Aldrich bill?
8. Will you explain why you voted
to give the smelters Of lead duty of
$3.50 per ton when the difference be-
tween the cost Of reducing the lead ore
to pig lead in this country and any other
country in the world is not more than
$500 per ton?
9. If you answer generally that you
voted for this bill because it was the best
you could do. will you stale why you
did not at least vote to send it back to
the conference committee and try to
get something better than you did get2
