A Tribute to Senator Aldrich.

The senate of the United States has
passed the corporation tax, just as the
Journal predicted.
Very evidently the personal income
tax was disapproved by the eastern
tariff barons, and very evidently, in
spite of loud asseverations to the con-
trary, the corporation tax, which can
by no method be considered tax on
wealth; met with their entire approval.
That the senate should unanimously
pass the ridiculous resolution submit
ting constitutional amendment for
income tax to the states, and that it
should seek to clinch the grip of the
eastern trust magnates on the Ameri-
can consumer by voting for a special
customs court are distinct tributes to
Senator Aidrich.
The senator from Rhode Island, as
agent of the trusts, displays calm
assurance that is magnificent. Appar-
emily he disregards absolutely the in
terests of the American people, pro-
ceeding entirely on the assumption that
the country will submit quietly to any
extortion he may see fit to propose for
the benefit of his clients.
One can not sympathize strongly with
voters who deliberately elected to office
men they must have known would rob
them. But it is interesting to imagine
the shock republican grand dukes are
going to get when the American peo-
pie, sweating under the Aldrich tariff,
awake to their betrayal Chicago

theft Of $1,000.

was very lame and sore, especially in
the morning when he first arose. He
became tired easily, and his general
health was run down. At last he pro-
cured Doan's Kidney Pills at the MILF
Drug Co., and after using them a
short time his back became stronger,
and his Kidneys were restored to q

has served to keep him in good health.

And that Congress May Adjourn by
Last of Present Week.-Payne
Anglers AIdrlch In Argument

Tafts Revision Downward Idea.

Tafts Revision Downward Idea.
In discussing the tariff with
callers the president took occa-
sion to explain his theory of the
principle of downward revision
from a protectionist point Of view.
His idea Is not to reduce duties to
the point of affecting home indus
tries or to admit imports to what,
from the Republican standpoint
would be unfair competition with
homemade articles. The presi-
dent is represented as regarding
downward revision as means Of
protecting the people from monop-
oily and excessively high prices.
He summed up the theory Of
tariff revision as not 30 much to
bring about Immediately lower =
prices to the consumer, but to
protect the consumer from exorbi- :
tant prices which might be posi-
BILE behind tariff wall maintained .
at an excessive height. .
Washington. July 26.-sunday has
brought no cessation of President
Taft's tariff activities. His confer
ences with house and senate leaders
covered practically the entire day.
Even the customary Sunday afternoon
ride through the parks was cancelled
Although he admitted frankly to
several of his callers that the situa-
ton was not all that could be desired,
the president expressed the hope that
another "a hours would suffice to
straighten out the tangle in the con-
ference and that the report of the
conferees would be presented in the
house on Tuesday night.
1t further ID hoped at the White
House that the report will be accom-
panied by definite plan Of action
which will be acquiesced In by the
house and senate and that congress
may adjourn by the last of the week.
Stands Pat az to Free Hides.
President Taft, it was learned. has
not receded in any way from his de-
mand for free hides. He Is authentic
ally represented as regarding free
hides as typical case underlying the
whole principle Of downward revision,
and If free hides should be lost little
of encouragement to the real revision
lists remains.
A compromise duty of 7 cents. q re-
duction from Is cents under existing
law, would be no benefit, according
to the presidents views.
Bitter words between Senator AID
rich and Representative Payne Just
before the close of an hours session
of the tariff conferees last night are
reported to have followed an attempt
on the part of the former to compel q
vote on a motion to make hides dutia-
BILE at ~ per cent, half of the existing
rate. The session was adjourned until
$3.50 p. m. today.
