business transactions and the
gains and profits of every corpo.
ration in the country"
But nothing more Is heard of that
feature of the measure now.
Senator Aldrich has held many
conferences with the amiable
president of late, and the latest
news from Washington is to the
effect that while the bill as it is
being drafted will require corpo.
raticns to make returns on their
gross and not earnings, there
will be no investigation OF the
accuracy of such returns 'unless
the secretary Of the treasury has
reason to suspect that . fslse
statement has been made"
President Taft rs not Q genius
as q compromiser. BY his com.
promises he has already sacri.
ficed q downward revision of the
tariff and the income tax. And
now. at the behest of 'big bust.
ness." it appears that he has
sacrificed the supervisory con.
troll of corporations" that was to
be q feature of the corporation
tax measure.

A Lazy Liver

May be only a tired liver, or starved
liver. It would be a stupid as well as
savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work. So
In treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
q great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver Is but an
indication of an ill-nourished, enfeeblcd
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
Quickly your liver will become active.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
has made many marvellous cures OF silver
trouble by its wonderful control Of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. It re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions of the bloodmak-
ing glands, cleanses the system from poi
sonous accumulations, and so relieves the
liver of the burdens imposed upon it by
the detection Of other organs.

PlL1NG ON HEAVIER BURDENS.

Eight months ago it was ad-
mitted by Republican newspa.
pers and Republican speakers that
the Dingley tariff rates were too
high; that under them the cost
of living had become an intoler-
able burden for all persons who
work for their bread at average
rates of reoompense. The Re-
publican platform declared for
tariff revision" and revision"
it was conveyed to the minds of
the public meant reduction. Mr..
Taft, the candidate for president
elected on that platform, in his
public speeches repeatedly as
serted that the Dingley rates on
many articles of general con.
sumption were too high, and ne
specifically pledged the Repub.
lican party to a reduction of those
rates.
But what spectacle is now
presented by the triumphant Re.
publican party at it's work of tar.
iff "revision !" Careful analysis
shows that in the Payne. Aldrich
measure rs per cent of the Ding.
ley rates stand unchanged, while
15 per cent of the remainder are
increased. Some of these in
cresses are frank and open; some
are not easily detected, but they
are there.
For example, the average tar
iff tax on cotton goods, figured
in sd valorem duties, stands at
A "a per cent in the Dingley bill
and at Al IA per cent in the AL.
drich bill. On silks the average
increase is 8 per cent. On wool.
ems the average tax proposed il
3d. per cent. This is almost 8
per cent higher than the proposed
average duties on ''luxuries. y
The flax and jute schedules, en-
bracing all linens, linoleum, bur.
lap and other ordinary necessi
ties, are similarly increased. The
agricultural schedules are in.
creased 2.26 per cent. The ''sun'
! dries'' schedule is 30 contrivsc
that it's total shows q decrease o.
.32 per cent, but the tables show
that the tax on many importan
4 items in the list is raised.
J, Thus is the cost Of living in
. creased. Thus is the tariff re-
vised upward in the interests o
, the consumers. Thus are tn
pledges of the Republican part,
and Of its candidate for presiden
flouted when the time comes {,

The senate has done just what

Free hides would have been q
boon to 900 out of every 1000
inhabitants of the United States.
It would have meant cheaper
harness for the farmer, cheaper
shoes for everybody. It would
have benefited and stimulated
the manufacturers of harness,
of shoes and of all other leather
products, who, as it is, are at the
mercy of the beef trust. But as
against the interests of the trust
1.-THE interests of the multitude
were as naught, and the Dingley
tax on hides is to stand.
