OWE THE GOVERNMENT.

TwentysiN states, all of them lying
east of the Mississippi river except
Missouri and Arkansas, are affected by
Representative Murdock's bill direct
ing them to return the sums deposited
with them by the United States govern
ment out of it's surplus revenues under
the act of 1886. For thirty years they
have had the use of S2S,O00,0OO without
interest.
During Jackson's second term propo-
sitions for distributing the public lands
had been common, and were followed by
others to distribute the revenue from
that source. In 1885 it was estimated
that for the following eight years there
would be an annual surplus of S0,0OO,-
900. Calhoun was at the head of a
senate committee which submitted a
plan for the distribution of this surplus
revenue, proposal that Benton op-
posed on the ground that the money
should be devoted to national defenses.
Calhoun proposed that the sum be di-
vided into as many shares as there
were senators and representatives, ad-
ding two for each territory and the Dis
trict of Columbia, and that the shares
be allotted on that basis.
Nothing came of the Calhoun bill that
year, but in 1886 the senate passed a
similar measure. both Clay and Webster
supporting it. The house was unfavor-
able to it. but finally compromise was
agreed upon which provided, instead of a
distribution of the surplus, that it be de-
posted with the states in proportion
to their representation in Congress. to
be returned when Congress should call
fnp ~ no11oI 81
states, and the faith Of the states was
pledged FOR its return. Only three in
stallments were paid to the states as
Congress suspended the deposit system
in 1889, although it provided that past
deposits should remain with the states
until otherwise directed by Congress"
The Murdoch bill merely puts into eff
feet this last provision. The following
amounts approximately were deposited
with the states:
Maine, s956,O0O; Maryland, s956,OO0;
New Hampshire, 100000; Vermont
S669,OOO; Massachusetts, S1,S3S,OO0;

TARIFF REVISION is A JOKE.

We have come to the conclusion that
tariff revision is a big joke. Nobody
wants the tariff revised, except just
those who have to buy things, and those
who have to buy more than they sell,
and what rights have they that the
tariff barons are bound to respect?
Both parties talk loud and long about
tariff reform during the campaign, in
order to- corral the votes and then pro-
coed to forget that they ever said it, as
soon after the election as possible.
Anyway, you do not expect those who
are benefited by the tariff to reduce
lit, and that is what the republicans
propose and then they curse Joe Can
non because he sits on the lid. The
tariff is to be reformed, you know, by
it's friends and it is in the hands of it's
friends for certain, every fellow for
himself and the devil takes the hind
most.
The republicans try to make us believe
that tariff on wheat and corn and oats
and hay will help the farmer, and then
sssock" it on the lumber which he has to
buy, also to help US western farmers.
1t is enough to make horse laugh.
Republican newspa publishers clamor
for reduction of tariff on wood pulp
out of which print paper is made, to re-
duce the price of paper, and at the same
time, they are opposed to taking the
tariff off hides in order that the labor
ing man may buy cheaper shoes for his
family.
The tariff will not be reduced by the
pualicans, because the party is built
on the theory of special privileges
and we may as we'll set it down that
this is the case. And if there is moth
ing in our claim, that the tariff protect
ed industries will not allow the tariff to
be taken off, why is it that the big
trusts and protected industries are all
republicans. Such thing as demo
crat owning big trust benefited by
tariff is unknown and if democrat
does have hand on any such graft
rest assured that he straight way be-
comes protectionist, and we do not
discriminate between republican pro-
tectionist and democratic protection.
ist. The parties will evidently have tc
be divide into protectionists and anti.
protectionists. This thing will keep on
and tariff will be made football OF
politicians and shysters and trimmers
and time servers, till one of these days
the people will get awfully tired and
then they will become free traders
We are not at all sure that free trade Of
the kind formerly urged by the famous
Frank Hurd, of Toledo, Ohio, will not
be the solution, but at present, tariff
reform by the republicans is big joke
Washington Democrat.

"WoMEN COULD GET ALONG.

When in defending his tariff bill Mr..
Payne was trying to find excuses for
raising the duty Oh womens gloves to
81 dozen, with an extra fine for extra
lengths, he said:
Women could get along without the
kid gloves or fewer pairs of them, use
silk gloves and cotton gloves and all
that sort. of thing. They could keep
their hands warm, although they could
not cover their pride.
Could they? Wool is a good material
for keeping the hands warm; on knit
goods of wool a woman will pay from 33
cents pound duty up to Al cents a
pound and 55 per cent advalorem; if she
tries to economic by knitting her own
gloves and mittens she will pay from
27s cents pound and Is per cent added
up to 49, cents and 40 per cent.
Cotton gloves, Mr.. Payne, would not
satisfactorily warm either the hands
or the pride, but they are not too poor
to pay tribute. Silk looks better, but
silk yarn is to pay 30 per cent spun
silk in skeins from 20 cents pound and
Is per cent up to 60 cents and Is per
cent. The knitting needles pay % per
cent.
Probably Mr.. Payne would not speak
of stockings as luxury to "cover
women's pride though you cannot al
ways tell what man will say when
away from home influences and trying
to explain tariff bill. OF the stocking
tariff Marshall Field & Co., in circular
say:
A group of hosiery manufacturers
have received 20 per cent increase
over the 60 per cent rate, making a
total of 80 per cent against foreign
goods. This would exclude all foreign
25-cent hosiery and would enable do
nestle manufacturers to raise their
prices proportionally.
Women have been getting along
without" because of increased cost OF
living for some years, and they are tired
of it. Such taxes are not merely pro-
tective, but are almost prohibitive.
They do not mean revenue for the gov
eminent but privation for the consumer
and plumber for the combining manu-
facturers.
Reduce the cost Of living. Tax wealth
| not poverty. New York World.

WOMEN's STOCKINGS.

The Editor of the Des Moines News
ha addressed the following letter to
thu ladies':
Dear Madam:
Do YOU wear stockings? If so, you
are interested in this tariff bill.
The price of stockings, yours, and
those of the children-will increase at
least a third if the Payne bill becomes
law.
The cheaper the grade of stockings
the bigger will be the increase in price.
There are four grades of imported
stockings. On the first grade the tariff
adds 2l per cent. On the second grade
it adds II per cent. On the third grade
it adds Is per cent and on the fourth
grade-the highest priced stockings
it adds II per cent.
Last year there were imported into
the United Safes 100000 dozen pairs
Of the cheaper grade of stockings. On
the second grade there were imported
II .O52 900 dozen pairs. On the third
grade there were imported 965,O0O
dozen pairs. OF the fourth grade there
were imported l07 ,541 dozen pairs.
The Payne tariff bill seeks to keep
cut all these imported stockings and
make you pay tax to the National
Association of hosiery and underwear
Manufacturers (the stocking trust) big
enough to enable them to sell you this
number of domestic trust made stock
sings.
Ii you object to this, write to sena
tors who represent your state, to Presi'
dent Taft and to members of congress
