SHOW THIS TO YOUR
REPUBLICAN NEIGHBoR.

In the making of tariff law, one
would naturally suppose that those
least able to bear the burdens Of
taxation would not be Disseminated
against in favor of those best able
to pay the tax involved in any tariff
levy.
But what are the facts?
The man who imports 81 900 worth
OF diamonds pays tax of but 500
10 per cent. II he imported thous-
and shirts worth n dollar each he
would have to leave at the customs
house and tack onto his selling
prices S60l .60-G0. III per cent.
If he decided that he would bring
! in 81 900 worth of champagne, one OF
! the items upon which there is n
large increase, the tax levied by the
, tariff is 5000. If he brought in ST.
600 worth of blankets he would pay
u tariff tax of 81 ,645.42.
If he brought in 1000 worth of
paintings and statuary, all he would
have to pay ns customs duties would
be S20e, but il it were sugar ne would
pay S7sS.7 tax on 81 900 worth.
II he brought in 81 600 worth OF
jew"lry he would have to pay $500
tariff tax, but If he brought in l,0W
worth of wool dress goods he would
pay 81 ,0j0.92 tariff.
If he imported 5000 autOmo-
bile the tariff takers would relieve
him of 81 80. II it were 81, 900 worth
Of yarns the tariff tax would be &c.
$50.
II the importation were $1,000
worth Of furs the tariff tax would be
81 $50 but il it were 5000 worth of
clothing that tax would be 81 $3.50.
If some New York millionaire
brings in u 100000 ocean-going
yacht the tariff would be $50 900, but
II the importation were stockings
the tariff collected would be $751;
$50. &C. q. d. In The Commoner.

TAFT DEMocRAcY's BEST AID
Champ Clark Declares Next House
Will be Democratic Through Re-
publican Factionalism.

puDnCau cuCtiOHhhblH'
Pittsburg Pa, Oct. 16.-Congress-
man Champ Clark of Missouri, tread
er ofthe Democratic Representatives
in Congress, announced In Pittsburg
| this morning his intention to be-
come u candidate for Speaker Of the
House Of representatives, and, in-
cidcntally, delivered broadsidc of
condemnation ut the Payne NJ
drich-Smoot" tariff bill.
every time President Taft opens
his mouth he aids the Democratic
party, nasscrted Congressman Clark,
upon being asked If he intended
making mention Of President Tafts
speeches in his campaign for the
speakership.
Continuing, Mr.. Clark said:
"Since Congress adjourned i
have been pretty well over four or
five States, and have been through
six more, and everywhere there is
intense prejudice against and dis
gust for the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
tariff bill Even the major Repub-
licans are not enamored with 1t.
"Presidcnt Taft's speeches, par
ticularly his Winona speech, will
help the Democrats win the next
House. The influence OF the AL
drich-Cannon stand-patters over the
President seems To he increasing.
"In the short statement which he
gave out when he signed the bill, he
claimed only that it was partial
fulflllmcn: of Republican promises /;
but in his WinOna speech, he pos
itively asserted that II Is the best
tariff bill ever put on the statute
books.
"As the average rate in the Payne
Aldrich- Smoot bill Is about per
cent higher than the average of the
Dinglcy bill, President Taft =
Winona statement Is absolutely pre-
posterous, unless he has come to
believe that the higher the tariff the
better the bill.
"His Winona speech has been an
epochmaker. Perhaps ii is the
epoch, being that In which the Re
publican party got squarely on the
toboggan
"Besides the tariff question, the
personal feuds among the Republic
cans will help us to long extent.
The Cannon Fowler feud and the
Cannon Parsons feud are only
symptoms of the disease now affect
ing the Republicans.
"While there Is nothing certain in
this world but death and taxes, !
believe that the next House will be
Democratic. expect to he candi-
date for Speaker II ! am member
of that House. At any rate, 1t will
be good thing for the country to
have n Democratic House once

That the travelling public may
know their rights in the matter of
misunderstanding, and that auto
mobile managers may be reminded
of their duties, we publish below
the sections of the automobile law
as passed by the last Legislature
bearing on the subject:
Section Il. Every person operat-
ing motor vehicle on the public
highway shall, Mt request or upon

otherwise, from person riding or
driving IA horse or horses, or lead
Ing horse or horses or other draft
animal on the highway, shall cause
the motor vehicle to stop and re-
main stationary, and shall, II re-
guested, stop the engine of such mo-
tor eehicle so long as may be neces-
sary to allow the said horse or
horses or other draft animal to
pass: and II shall be the duty Of
any male auto driver or driver Of
any motor vehicle, and other male
occupants thereof, over the age OF
IL years, while passing any horse or
horses or other draft animal which
appear badly frightened, or upon
the request of the person in charge
of such horse or horses or other
draft animal to give such personal
assistance as would be reasonable
to insure the the safety of all con-
cerned and to prevent accidents.
The provisions Of this section shall
apply to motor vehicles going either
in the same or in the opposite direc-

IN behalf OF the mightiest and most
dangerous trust In the land. i have
reversed my views. The money has
been well invested. 1t probably Will
lead to the defeat OF MIR. Taft by
Roosevelt, LaFollette, Cummins or
some other progressive Republican,
or else by II Democrat. AS between
Roosevelt and TAFT, i confess that /
prefer the former. OF course, If
Roosevelt did not sway, he did not
serve, Aldrich and Cannon.
"The present tour of the Presi-
dent has been comedy of errors
tragedy of blunders-eyer since
the curtain went up, and probably
will be until the curtain comes
down"

MRS. sURRATr's cAPToR DIES

The sad and tragic fate Of Mrs.
Mary Surratt, an innocent victim of
the Lincoln assassination, who
was court-martialed and hanged as
one of the conspirators in that de-
plorable tragedy because Booth and
some of his companions made her
home their abode when in Washing
ton, is again brought to attention by
the death of her captor, the last of
those concerned in the trial, all OF
whom 1t Is said met with tragic
deaths. Ponghkeepsie, n. Y, dis
patch OF the 18th inst. says:
Another link in the chain of those
connected with the capture, conyic-
ton and hanging OF Mrs. Surratt to
pass away In tragic manner, VIII
liam Il. Farrell, 20 years of age, who
arrested the woman, charged with
conspiracy in assassination Of Lin
coin by Booth, died nj Hudson Riv-
er State Hospital on Thursday. Mr..
Farrell's end came suddenly, closing
an unfortunate life and adding an.
other grim chapter to the tragedy of
Ford's Theater.
Farrell, Lieutenant in the Union
Cavalry, was stationed in Wash.
ington on the night of the assassina.
ton. He got clew that led to his
arrest of Mrs. Surratt.
He took an important part in
Mrs. Surratt's trial, and was re.
warded by the Government with n
gold medal. But the Nemesis that
has pursued every one connected
with this historic case, as the re-
cords show, was on his trail, and
twenty-six years ago Lieutenant
Farrell became insane, as n result
of fall from his horse. At that
time he was bookkeeper for the
Burden Iron Works in Troy, his ma
tive city.

Fred Ostner of Diehlstadt was
severely injured last week while us
ing dynamite to blow out some
stumps on his farm. His eyes were
so filled with dirt from the explosion
that 1t was feared he would lose his
sight, but that proved to be all right.
1t cost George Rhodes OF Butler
county $500 to catch some fish by
using dynamite. This enforcement
of the law may prevent others from
following his example.
