BLAMES OWN PARTY
SENATOR ALDRICH UNWlTTING.
LY CRITIcIsEs REPUBLICANS.
Senate Leader Shows Up the Criminal
Extravaganza Of the Majority
During a Time Of Business
Depression.

The hardest knock the Republican
party has received In many "A day Is
the assertion by Senator AldriCh, in
his opening tariff speech, that the last
congress appropriated out of the treas.
uIy S5U.O0O,OUU more OF the peoples
money than was necessary.
Sparing his party, Mr. Aldrich does
not add that this was done in a time
of general business depression, while
thousands Of wagc-earucrs were out OF
employment and the receipts OF the
treasury were running behind It's OK
pcnditurcs At the rate OF some Sl5O0O,-
900 a month.
Senator Aldrich does not rub in
UPON his party the hard and hurting
truth that, while people OF all condi.
tons were forced to resort to many
unaccustomed economies and men of
large wealth were compelled to cut
their personal and family expenses in
half the Republican congress ex.
ceeded all previous records of extrav.
agance
A few years ago. ON the basis of
government recklessly administered n
billion Of dollars suflced for the ap.
preparations Of two years. The last
congress went beyond the billion mark
in its appropriations for one year, and
now comes the Republican leader of
the senate declaring, In n cold iinan.
cial statement, that full five per cent.
Of the sam was unnecessary, even un-
der the high pressure at which the
Republican president and the Repub.
lican congress were driving the gov
ernment at Washington.
Honest confession, we all know, IL
said to he good for the soul but in or.
der to bear fruit it must be accom-.
panied by repentance. But Of repent.
ancc for past financial sins against the
people there Is no sign In Senator
Aldrichs speech nor in the tariff
schedules with which he replies to the
wide public demand for less burden.
some tariff taxes. On many of the
staple necessaries Of life he leaves the
outrageous Dingley taxes untouched,
while In the complete list of things
classed as necessarics the reduction
from the Dingley rates is only a small
fraction of one per cent
Evidently the aim OF the Republican
senate leader has been to make the
new tariff as nearly prohibtiye as pos.
siblc instead of bringing it down to the
reyenue-producing level desired by the
president
With such financial policies II is
not surprising to hear from Mr.. Al.
drich the expression of belief that the
governments Panama bonds cannot
much longer be sold at par unless the
interest on them is raised from two
per cent. to three per cent. The credit
of no government could long survive
such financial management as the Re.
publican party has been giving It. In
Senator Aldrich's speech the Repub.
lican party is bitterly, though not In.
tentIonally, damned by It's own leader.

Absolutely Without Excuse.

The only excuse for tariff tax
which does not pour revenue into the
treasury of the government is Lnat It
shelters an American industry which
could not flourish II exposed to allen
competition. In the case of stockings
and also in the case of gloves. this
excuse for higher duties does not
exist. for both manufactures are well
established and prosperous under tie
lower duties imposed by the Ding!ey
bill.

The tariff manipulators do not act in
the interest of the producers of wealth
They frame tariff laws In the interest
OF the parasites of wealth. They make
consumers pay not only the intrinsic
value OF commodity. in a natural
market, but an excess value that is
wholly artificial This excess in the
price of commodities is absorbed in
the main by eastern holders of trust
