We Must Pay The Fiddler

There is general roar going up from
Maine to California over the fact that
the new tariff law is likely to take more
money out Of the pockets Of the consum-
ers than the old law. Senator Aldrich
admits this when he estimates that the
bill as it passed the senate based on the
amount Of goods imported last year, will
yield about 5 million dollars more than
the old law yielded. If it does then it
follows that the import tax must be higher.
It has been estimated that if the bill
becomes law as pushed through the SEN
ate it will add to the cost Of every suit Of
clothes WON by laboring men and increase
the price Of hosiery for every woman in
the United States. The estimate may
be correct.
We are making no apologies for the
Aldnch bill. We think that ifhas been
devised and pushed through the senate
m the interest Of manufacturers who have
already fattened at the expense Of the
consuming public and who have no in
terest in the pending legislation except so
far az it adds to their already swollen
fortunes. But 50 far we have not seen
where the recalcitrants have taken steps
to stop the cause for the collection Of
enormous national revenues.
1t is a fact so plain that any man who
has sense enough to entitle him to keep
out Of an imbecile asylum may see it,
that if we continue to pile on theburdens
of government we must foot the bills. IF
we insist on keeping up the dance we
must settle for the music.
Our annual expense for army and
navy is now more than four times what
it was 10 years ago and unless the pres
ent program is changed it will be double
what it is now within | 0 years.
The other day, Justice Brewer asked
treasury official why it was that the
national debt had not been reduced dur
ing the past 10 years. The reason is
that during the past 10 years we have
Increased the military burden of this
country as compared with the 10 years
previous by nearly 200 million dollars.
In other words, il we had kept our ex-
penses for army and navy down to what
they were previous to the Spanish
American war the saving during the past
10 years would have paid every dollar
Of interest bearing debt and 200 millions
over. That Is the price we have paid
for trying to hold and govern the Philip
pine islands"
Do not fool yourselves. If we hold
on to our island possessions there i. no
use to hug the fond delusioa that our
national expenses will grow less. They
will not grow less. They will grow
greater.
For 10 years we have sat on that
nest Of eggs over in the Pacific and have
hatched out nothing so far but expense
and trouble with worse and worse to
follow.
il we are to stop expenses we must
stop the cause.-T. A. McNeal IN

The politician is foxy cuss. He can
lead people around by their noses and
make them vote burdens on themselves
in order that the said politician may live
in the land Of luxury without rendering
the State, the people or the country any
service. II seems that the great majority
OF the voters will never get tired Of vot-
ing needless taxes on themselves.

The republican press is having hard
time Of it trying to figure out how the
new tariff arrangement reduces tariff tax
alton. But they are making an extra
effort anyway and there are many easy"
ones who will swallow the taGy and cal
it good, merely on the theory that what
ever the republican party does is right.

Senator Bnstow has declared himself
against the Aldrich- Payne tariff bill.
He says it does not fulfill President
Taft's campaign pledges and is, to say
the least. no better than the old Dingley
law. Coming from a republican, this
admission is refreshing.
