MAKING A
GRAND STAND
EXHIBITION

New York, oct. 11.-Within the
next two weeks scores of new in
dictments, amounting, very prob
ably 10 more than 100, will be re-
turned by the United States govern
ment by persons for swindling the
government out OF tariff revenues at
the port of New York.
with this idea in mind, Collector
Loeb has had out his drag net for
these swindlers ever since he as
sumed office last spring. With a
large corps of special men from the
treasury department at Washington,
assisted by inspectors and detec-
tives, the work has been so quietly
conducted during the last few
months as to have kept the majority
OF the victims. who are now about
TO be indicted, in the dark as to
what was going on.
Some of the indictments will be
returned this week, and It is stated
that the government has secured
sufficient evidence 10 break up the
system, and TO punish scores of the
awindlers.
II is said that the government has
been swindled out OF millions OF
dollars, and that Collector Loeb is
determined to put n stop TO II.
IL has been authorltatively an-
nounced that Loeb's men have traced
at least 200 sleeping trunks" that
contained fine millinery which should
nave netted the government at least
q, 600, 900 In duty.

ion downward than they will in what
Mr.. Depew said about revision up
ward, but when the votes of the re-
publican majority are counted, it will
be found that the Aldrich-Depew
forces have played out their trust
hand and made a revision upward.
They have reversed Mr.. Taft's declar-
alton on the tariff problem; they have
thrown his tariff professions in the
gutter, and left unfulflled his tariff
pledges. And Mr.. Taft is wholly at
fault in that fact. Instead of swing
ing his presidential Office for revision
downward, as he had promised, he
sits idly by while Mr. Aldrieh fills up
the tariff bag and carts the plumber to
Wall Street. Mr.. Taft has left to
him the power of vetoing the tariff
bill when it finally leaves congress. A
veto will not give the people the de-
sired relief. They want a new tariff
schedule. The business interests of
the country want this tariff question
settled. Our tariff reform president
has allowed to slip by the opportunity
to say to Mr.. Aldrlch and his servil
followers in the senate, as he said on
q nreviouS occasion:
at would be better to have no re-
vision at all unless We are going hon
estly and fairly to revise the tariff
on the basis promised by our party"
The party promised a revision
downward.

Senator Lodge on the Platform.

Senator Lodge interprets his party
platform as a strict constructiOnist
and says: "NobOdy ever pledged me
to revise the tariff downward or to re-
wise it upward. What We are pledged
to is a revision, and l suppose we are
here to revise in view If the inter-
ests of the whole country. If it is
wise to reduce rates. then reduce them
if it is wiser to give greater protec-
ton. We should do that, and if it is
wise to keep them as they are, then
that should be done"
This has fine, frank, manly sound,
but We are forced by it to the con-
elusion that the statesman and schol-
ar from Massachusetts, is disingen-
uous. Not only was the tariff plank
in the republican platform adopted
because Of the pressure for a revision
downward, but the agitation for
downward change in certain schedules

was particularly loud in the senator
own state. Not person in the entire
country could have believed last June
that the plank was the result of a de-
mand for increased protection. The
stand patters were willing to stand
right where they were, to let we'll
enough alone, as some of them ex-
pressed it. That was the state of
affairs when the convention said:
The republican party declares un-
equivocally for revision of the tariff
by a special session of congress. i'm
medlately following the Inauguration
OF the next president, and commends
the steps already taken to this end in
the work assigned to the appropriate
committees of congress-" There was
to be a special session not to re-enact
the Dingley law, but to make modif-
cations In that law owing to public
dissatisfaction over its schedules, and
the complaints were practically all of
one kind and were directed against
excessive rates.
1t is true that a principle of revi-
sion was announced, and that under it
increases might be made, but the tar
III plank itself speaks of preserving
without excessive duties" security
against foreign competition, and it
has been interpreted as the people

no reason why the water power in

property freely and forever except
that they would like to have it that
way l suspect that the mere wishes

they have been the handspring of

stop them from regulating u.s.
From time to time a few strong

only just begun to take this fight in

far-reaching consequences of their

Now that the fight is passing
into an acute stage it is easily seen
than the special interests have used
the period of public Indifference to
maneuver themselves into position
of exceeding strength. In the first
place, the constitutional position of

stronger than in any other nation.
In the second place, it is we'll un-
