How Tariffs Are Made.

An interesting editorial entitled
How Tariffs are Made" appears in
Mondays issue of the Chicago Trib-
une. According to that paper, the
debates in the senate were a sham:
the prolonged hearings before the
ways and means committee a farce.
This applies particularly to the wool
schedule.
The Tribune says that last Octo-
Der there met at Chicago the wool
growers of the west and the manu-
facturers of wooden goods of the
east and decided what they wanted
in the way of a tariff. Their wishes,
it appears, have been carried out
by congress.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1909-07-29
of the chief necessaries of life:


Voted to tax the material that
enters into a multitude of indus
tries, and thus to place an unneces-
sary burden upon these industries;
Voted to tax the people of the
whole country for the benefit of a
comparatively few owners of tim
Der lands: and
Voted to tax a majority of their
own constituents for the benefit of
thesminOrity of those constituents.
To cast such a vote a democrat
must have arguments that have
not yet been given to the public
and must be prepared to present
these arguments to his constitu-
ents to his constituents.
The Commoner will give space
Cup to two thousand words) to any
democratic senator or member of
congress who desires to present an
argument in favor of duty on
lumber, provided he will in his arti-
Gle answer the following questions:
First, Is a platform binding?
Second, Is it wise to encourage
the devastation of our forests?
Third, Will the country as a
whole be benefited by a tariff on
lumber, and if so, how?
Fourth, How many of his consti-
tuents produce lumber as compared
with the number of his constituents
who use lumber?
Fifth, Will he give the names of
the men who have by letter or in
person urged him to vote for the
tariff on lumber?-C Ommoner.

Senator Taylor, of Tennessee, re-
Gently enlivened the senate proceed
ings by telling this story: Our
country had been decimated by war
Inundated by reconstruction and
weighed down by the highest tariff
taxation this world has ever known
and we were in bad plight. We
were in the condition of the good
old praying member of the church
who was afflicted all at once with
every disease in the catalogue. He
had rheumatism and aneuriSm and
curvature of the spine and was
finally stricken with paralysis; but
after months of suffering ne got
better, and went shambling one
evening to prayer meeting, The
old preacher rose and said, Now,
brethren, l want to have a good
time here tonight. want every
one of you to get up and tell what
the Lord has done for you. There
is Brother Jones, God bless him; he
has been afflicted and hasn't been
with us for many months. Brother
Jones, get up and tell us what the
Lord has done for you Brother
Jones arose and hobbled out in the
aisle, and said: well, he's abOat
uint me-"

What Is Democratic?

The democrats who have voted
against free lumber have:
Voted to repudiate the national
platform of the democratic party;
Voted to encourage the destruc-
ton of our forests;
Voted to raise the price of one

When the government began eS-
tabIishinG rural delivery in Missouri
1t was clearly stated that where
nothing was done to make the
roads passable the experiment
would be dropped In some locali-
ties the people took the warning to
heart and began improving the
roads. In others nothing was done
the residents attaching no import
ance to the condition coupled with
the introduction of the service.
The government gave them ample
time, but they made no move. And
now the government is beginning
to cancel a route here and there,
where the people have not shown
the slightest inclination to do any
thing toward the improvement of
het roads. No doubt if this gentle
hint is not needed there will be
more cancellations, for it must be
evident that the residents who will
not help the government in this
matter do not really need and de-
sire the benefits of free rural deliv-
! ny. -LaBelle Star.
