La Toilette Declares AIdrich Had Lost
the Confidence of Republican
SetTstors Which a Leader
Should Have.

Washington, d. C.-The income tax
tention of the senate during the days
sitting of that body and after discus
sion of an hour or more its further con
s"ideration was postponed until June Is
by a vote of As to "a. This action was
the result of a motion made by
| Senator Alrich, which followed a
charge by Senator Bailey that undue
influence was being brought to bear
against the proposed income tax
amendment to the tariff bill. Mr.. Aid
rich declared that he knew of no such
effort but pleaded for the postpone
ment OF the question until the
schedule should be disposed Of.
Mr.. Bailey accepted amendments to
his income tax provision suggested
by MIR. Cummins by which the rate of
tax was decreased from 8 to 2 per cent
and exempted all income under $4,000.
On Mr.. Aldrich's motion, Senator's

Piles voted with the Democrats.

Senator Aldrich had lost the conf
dence of other Republican senators
which a leader should have. MIR. La
Toilette made a determined fight to
compel the adoption of amendments to
the wool schedule of the tariff bill
which were presented by himself. They
went down before the majority which
right along has stood Sor the finance
committees work, the vote being A
against the amendment to 80 for them.
1t was after this vote had beer
taken that the Wisconsin senator
made his assertion that by his course
with reference to the wooden schedule
Mr.. Aldrich had forfeited the position
Of leadership.

Shoes and the Tariff.

w. L.. Douglas, former Democratic
governor of Massachusetts, adds his
word to what Judson Harmon and
John A. johnson, Democratic COVER
nors of Ohio and Minnesota, have said
to spur Democratic senators in con-
gress to be faithful in their tariff at
titude to the principles they profess
AS a manufacturer Of shoes Mr..
Douglas says: II would gladly swap
any doubtful benefit from the duty on
shoes for the certain benefits of free
hides and leather" He ~foresees as a.
result of a tariff on hides "a gigantic
trust controlling all the beef-packing,
leather and tanning shoe manufactur-
ing industries of this country" No
higher authority than Mr.. Douglas can
be cited.
A tariff on hides for the beef trust;
a tariff on iron ore for the steel
trust; a retaliatory tariff on Russian
oil for the Standard Oil trust; no con-
cession to reduce the cost of living;
no movement to tax wealth, not pow
erty. That is Mr.. Aldrich's idea and
the idea Of Democrats and Republi-
cans who follow his leadership!

MONEY BUYS SECRECY
Suppression of News as to Ruiz Sui
ciGe Said to Have Cost
Sum of $4,000.

London.-The authorities formally
refused to reveal the contents
Of the dispositions taken in con-
nection with the suicide of Mrs. Marie
Ruiz, friend of Alfred Gwynne Van
derbilt, around whose death an effort
was made to throw a veil of secrecy.
The coroner declared the cas- was
closed, that there was absolutely no
evidence of foul play and that it would
serve no good interest to expose the
motives that prompted the suicide.
One of the two reporters who OBJ
tanned possession of the facts of the
case admits he was paid a large sum
for su%ppressing the story.
1t is estimated that the mysterious
American" who attended to the work
of sealing up the affair spent $25, 600
in his task.
This is a greater sum than any
member of the Ruiz family is sup
posed to have possessed and is consid-
cred proof that the person or persons
most interested in the affair were
wealthy.

People Ultimately VIII Triumph.

Senator Cummins scored a strong,
point on the bogus tariff revisionists
when he declared that it was not the
manufacturer, or the lumberman, or
the coal man, or the iron or steel man,
or the cotton or wool men that insist
ed upon tariff revision. These peo-
pie never demanded that the tariff be
revised, The demand came from the,
people who are paying too high duties
on life's necessities. And these are
the people who will see that the tariff
is revised to suit them, even if they
must shatter political parties to do so.

RELIEVE THE POOR
EASTERN JOURNALS IDEA OF
THE TARIFF SITUATION.
New York World Sees in the lmposh
tion Of an Income Tax the Least
onerous Method Of Rails
ing Revenue.

The income tax" said Senator AL
drich to Senator Bailey, sis an oner-
Gus tax" This he seems to consider
a sufficient reply to the growing de-
mand for its imposition.
All taxes are onerous to those who
pay them. But an income tax with a
generous exemption limit would not
apply to nineteen American families
out of twenty; with graded rates it
would fall most heavily upon the.
strongest shoulders. Excepting a SINH
larry graded inheritance tax 1t is the
least onerous known.
Mr.. Aldrich prefers the most oner-
Gus taxes to those least onerous. He
prefers taxing the poor to taxing the
rich. He prefers indirect taxes that
confer advantages upon monopoly to
taxes open and above board that pro-
duce revenue.
The most onerous taxes in the civ
ilized world are the American retalia-
tory tariff on kerosene, which enrichesi
the Standard Oil Company and robsl
the consumer; the tariff on meat and
cattle, which aids the beef trust to put
up prices; the tariff on iron ore, which
gives the steel trust an advantage
over the Independents and, with the
tariff on lumber and other materials,
makes homes costly; the tariff on
woods and wooden clothing, which
makes New England millionaires and
let's poverty SILVER; the tariffs on a
thousand direct and indirect necessi-
ties of life which feed a thousand
trusts and make costly the living of
eighty million people. Mr.. Aldrich
stands for all these. The Republican
party stands for them. The me Too
Democrats in the senate stand for
them.
When will American voters insist
upon the imposition of the least oner-
GUS taxation and the abandonment of
material reduction of the most oner-
GUS? When will they insist that their
congress shall reduce the cost of living;
tax wealth, not poverty?-New York
