Protection and Wages.

Republican conventions and speakers
who mean what they say about tariff
reduction should change their phrase
ology. They should demand reduction
of duties on the necessaries of life in
the interests of the consumer without
reducing the purchasing power of
American wages. The number of dol
lars man gets is nothing; what he can
buy for it is everything. To give him
four dollars instead of three and make
him pay two prices for food and cloth
ing, tools and conveniences, is to re-
duce his wages. To reduce his wages
one-third and cut the cost of living in
two is to raise them. American work.
men have been fooled by this trick for
generations. They only began to see
it in the dazzling light of the great
fortunes piled up under protection.
These represent the difference between
the raise of wages and that of prices.

Sham Battles.

The time is passed for sham battles
on the tariff question. The only victory
we have won on the tariff in recent
years was the victory of 1892, when we
attacked the PRINCIPLE of PROTEC-
TON. No real fight can be made UNI
til distinct line is drawn between the
opposing forces.
The progressive republicans can not
make successful fight against the
Aldrich element because both factions
in the republican party claim to be
protectionists. 1t is only question of
degree with no way of defending the
tariff for revenue only; they can not
state their position without borrowing
republican phraseology. Whenever a
democrat begins to defend protection
he throws away his arms and joins the
ranks of the non-combatants.
Taxation should be for revenue only.
Taxation of the many for the benefit
of the few is robbery under the form OF
law, whether it is invoked to aid the
manufacturer of the east or the pro-
ducers of raw material in the west and
south.
Aside from the objections made to
the principle of protection it must be
remembered that comparatively few
can be benefited by protective tariff.
A protective tariff that would distri-
butte its benefits among all would be OF
no benefit to anyone. To benefit those
for whom it is made, a protective tariff
must hurt the rest of the people.
The democratic party must take the
part of the WHOLE PEOPLE and
challenge the republicans standpat-
tiers and progressives alike-to defend
the protective principle.
Tariff reform by the friends of pro-
lection has turned out to be fraud
tariff reform by protectionists by
democrats would be just as disappo;nt,
Tariff reform by the friends of the tar
iff is impossible; tariff reform by the
enemies of high tariff is not only reas-
enable, but necessary.
Now for real fight between the tax

Deeds. Not Words.

Certain newspapers in the middle
west insist that President Taft shall
make some announcement concerning
the new tariff and his general policy in
tariff matters. The advisability of this
is not quite apparent
Of course, newspapers which deceiv-
ed their readers and stand discredited
by reason of their questionable atti-
tn lie on tariff revision may desire the
president to make their explanation
and try to excuse their double dealing
but no other reason for President Taft
talking tariff is apparent.

Rheumatic
Pains

"My mother is a great suf-

Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G.. DAVENPORT,
Roycefeld, N. ].
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try then? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
1t does not benefit he will return
