Is HE A DEMOCRAT

Maryland has two Senators elected
By abe Democrats party-lsadOr Ray
ner, The brilliant orator, advocate and
statesman. aud John Walter Smith.
While the former adhstes strictly to
Democratic principles. she latter has be-
come converted 20 the support OF the
Aldrich schedule Of protective duties on
lumber. The explanation Of the course
OF this brevst republican IL thus stated
In the Congressional Directory: He 1.
engaged In the lumber business In Mary
land. Virginia and North Carolina -
such being the case he Tears that Tree I'D
nission OF Canadian lumber might pos
sibly lessen his own bank account. But
this IL not the kind OF man to represent
the Democracy OF Maryland 1T The
present iuneture. He might probably
serve well enough when the public IN
terests and his own do not come into
collision -Phiiadelphis Record.
It IL remarkable coincidence
that so far no Democratic newspa-
per OF any prominence North or
South, so FAR as We have been able 80
ascertain, has endorsed the position
or the action OF those Democrats In
Congress who have desc rted their
party principles In order TO vote for
high duties on various products,
such ~ lumber, iron ore, lead, hides,
etc. The above criticism Of senator
Smith, Of Maryland. shows what sus-
picion falls on these representatives
and shows at the same time Demo
cratic newspaper sentiment against
their course. We donot charge that
Senator Smith is actuated by any
improper motives any more than we
charge such motives against Sena-
tors Martin and Daniel, OF this State,
who are said TO favor an Increase OF
the Dingley rate on lumber, but we
do charge that they are flying 10 the
face OF their party's declarations,
principles and traditions and shat
they are not representing the wishes
OF the vast majority of Democrats In
Virginia. AS matter OF fact we are
pretty well Disguised with she atti-
tude OF majority Of our Democratic
representatives In Congress on the
tariff bin. Following up the action
OF i've Congressman In voting a high
er duty on lumber. Senators Daniel
and Martin Thursday voted against
free iron ore and will presumably FOL
low this up by voting against free
lumber and free hides. Their only
possible excuse is she necessity OF
raising revenue. The burden OF gov
eminent is on the Republican party.
II We need more revenue TO pay for
It's extravaganza let she Republicans
provide an income or Inheritance
tax IL they refuse, let the people
settle the matter at the polls. IL is
our opinion that were not Senator
Daniel so entrenehed in the affections
OF the Virginia people as TO cause
them to look upon his course with
charitable eye, he would find himself
confronted with some difficulty in
his campaign this yearfor reelection.

some Glassware Figures.
But china is not the only thing about
which the senators are telling things
One OF them said glass water pitchers
which sell at the factory for 90 cents
a dozen retail at the stores for from
25 to 80 cents each.
Ordinary window panes cost at the
factory. or IN New York. cents each
and this price includes the duty and a
liberal allowance for breaksge. yet at
the stores they are retailed at p cents
each.
One western senator has discovered
that blue print cups and saucers. made
OF what he described as japanese
china. cost ga. cents pair to import
and the duty is only "a cents pair
yet the regular retail price is IS cents
a pair.
one statement which caused posi-
tive sensation among the good danes
in the gallery was 20 the effect that
tea set commonly retailing for $3.50
costs at wholesale only Al cents.
What the Men Pay.
Senator Smoot also shook up the
men folks when he asserted that even
the users OF razors were made subject
to the same kind OF extortion RazOrs
which retail at s. apiece. he said. cost
the jobber $40 a dozen. and be sells
them TO thhe retailer for 81 a dozen
and the latter then soaks the con
sumner for S34 a dozen
Men also get the worst OF IL when
they buy their clothes. according 70
the senatorial elucidation II was
charged during the debate that all the
material FOR a suit OF the best import
ed wooden clothes including cloth. lin
ing. buttons. etc. is only $3.50. The
duty is $3.50. making a total OF Sl2.Sa
and yet this suit % clothes. il custom
made. costs the wearer from $50 to
SIS. and IL bought hand me-down" not
less than So
The senators who make these reve-
latiOns do so in order to show that
the duty has not a thing 10 do with
the high price OF everything In the
United States. In fact they do not at
tempt 10 explain the reason for these
prices except that Il is an American
habit 10 pay them.
