Should be Sold Cheaper.

In the Aldrich-Payne bill is pro-
vision placing a duty of thirty per
cent upon cash registers. There is
but one concern in this country tina:
manufactures these machines in any
quantity worth talking about. That
is located in Ohio. 1t has secured
a monopoly of the business by the
easy but sometimes expensive way
of buying up all the patents that are
valuable. and by forcing to the wall
by underselling all other competitors
who wouldn't sell or were not worth
buying out.
The monopoly character of this
company has been shown conclu-
sively by Elihu Root, now senator
from New York, for violation OF
the antitrust law. A half million
of cash registers have been sold in
this country, for about 5,00O,O00.
They have become business neces-
sity. The prices asked are very high.
There is another reason for this
other than the fact that it has only
a few small competitors.
That reason is that for years it
has enjoyed tariff of forty-five per
cent, which is high enough to keep
out of the American market all for
eign makes. While the government
is guaranteeing to this company full
control of the home market, it is
also enabling it to make such an
eXtortionate profit upon its machines
that it can afford to and does sell
them in England for nalf what it
charges here. There is no claim
made that the company is simply
selling its occasional surplus abroad
in order to keep its workmen en-
ployed, but it is the settled policy
of the company to make this differ
ence in price.
During the debate in the senate
on this schedule Photographic re-
productions of the American and
English price lists Of this company
were produced. These showed in The
publications Of the company itself
| that a machine that sells here for
$3.50 was listed in England with ali
freight. transportation and insur
ance paid, at S135. A $500 machine
here is sold for $50 in England. A
machine sold here for $175 is sold
| there for SG5. No. SOC sells here
; for 1925. but abroad it costs but
sos.
Can anybody give any good rea-
son why company that takes adj
I vantage Of tariff protection from the
American people to rob them in the
price of the product should be grant
ed further protection? asks writer
in The Commoner, who collated the
above facts. Many of these registers
are sold in this city and State. AS
will be seen by the above prices
every one of us who has bought one
of these registers has paid too much
/ for it. They can and should be sold
cheaper than they are sold. But
they will not be as long as the com.
pany that makes them has no COM
petition.

Given q Gentle Roast.

The News and Courier seems to
have a special grudge for Mr.. Bry-
an and every day or two it has
something disparagingly to say OF
him. Recently the Great Coom-
moner in his paper gives our Char
lesion contemporary gentle roast
in return for it's many slurs at him.
A reader of The Commoner asked
that a reply be made to a recent
editorial in the indianapolis News,
under the title Functions of a Rep
resentative.' The Indianapolis pap
er quoted Mr. Bryan as having said:
There are two schools of thought
in regard to the duty of an official:
the aristocratic theory is that the
people elect representatives to think
for them; the Democratic theory is,
on the contrary, that the people
think for themselves and elect repre-
sentatiyes to give legal expression
to their thoughts and to voice their
sentiments"
After making a defense of that
position, as the Indianapolis paper
had attacked it, Mr.. Bryan says, but,
the Indianapolis News quotes the
following with approval from the
Charleston News and Courier:
"'Mr. Bryan's theory is that a
public official should be the peo-
pies puppet, that when he accepts
Office he effaces himself as free
agent and that he reserves to him
self only the function of what he
conceives to be the peoples will"
Mr.. Bryan replies that the 1ndIa-
napolis editor ought to know that
the Charleston News and Courier
is not an exponent of Democratic
ideas. 1t calls itself Democratic
without being Democratic, just as
some legislators call themselves
representatives when they are mis-
representatives. The Democratic
idea of representative government
does not mean that the representa-
tive shall effact himself; it means
that he shall keep faith with those
from whom he derives power, but
if the representative has to choose
between effacting himself and effact-
ing his constituents, he had better
efface himself, for it is more i'm
portant that his constituents shall
have proper representation than that
he shall crafty himself by doing
for them what they do not want
done, or by doing in their name
that against which they protest.
While he acts for himself he can
act as he pleases, but when he be-
comes a representative he acts not
as an individual, but as spokes-
man for a large number of individu-
ais, each one as important as him
self and each one having con-
science, an opinion and right that
must be respected. This gentle roast
seems to have nettfed The News
and Courier as it replied to it in
a long editorial and fits headline
artist referred to Mr.. Bryan as the
Nebraska Joker. But all that does
not answer Mr.. Bryan's indictment
"that The News and Courier is not
an exponent of Democratic doc
trine."

that NEITHER Judge Sykes nor the To-

and the work was quickly but quitely
carried out before the arrival of the
