see-Sav Revision JuggIery.

The announcement that Senator AL
drich has yielded" to demands for a
tariff on oil and other products placed
on the free list by the Payne bill is not
surprising. The Eastern tariff baron
Is still TO mulct the producing West.
The whole tariff revision is a game of
words The sole object is to hoodwjnk
the public.
The Payne bill, in its broader and
general aspects, was an upward re-
vision measure. Remember that before
you accept the superficial statement
that the Aldrich substitute bill is a
downward revision measure. Where
the Aldrich bill magnanimously lowers
duties that the Payne bill tries to in
crease. it takes good care that In most
cases the reductions are not made be-
low the old Dingley standard. In other
words. the downward revision fea-
lures Of the Aldrich bill are in the
pain intended to deceive. They make
interests that were wickedly menaced
by the Payne bill. Yet, on closer analy-
sis, it is apparent that the real purpose
Of TIE Aldrich bill is to stand pat as
far as possible, on the Dingley SEIZED
ules.
Collision between high tariff apos-
ties In House and Senate will not be
seriously denied. The Payne bin drew
the fire of protesting consumers. The
Aldrich bill seeks to mollify and con-
ciliate. Glaring robberies, like the
gloves and hosiery tax, are abandoned.
But always-and this is the crux-the
people are asked to be thankful that
the new rates in the Aldrich bill are no
higher than the ones in the Dingley
act
1t is an old subterfuge. Every pre-
vious tariff law. including the Dingley
act, the Mckinley act and the Wilson
act was the net result of jugglery of
schedules. Where consumers got the
benefit of reduction it was usually on
some Insignificant schedule The real
beneflclaries. on the main schedules.
were the protected trusts.
Neither the Payne bill nor the Al
drich bill reaches the marrow of the
tariff Issue as presented to the voters
In the late campaign. They are not
framed with sincere purpose TO re-
lieve the burdens of American consum-
ers.-Chicago Journal

Bill Aimed at Campaign workers.


Hereafter when worker for a
wealthy candidate is given a roll of
bills and is asked to work for the in
terests of the candidate, his name is
to be published as paid worker"
At least that is the object of a bill
now being drawn by George P. Ham
brecht, member of the joint senatorial
primary investigating committee which
recently ended its work by time limi-
tation. The bill, while it aims to check
expenditures extravagantly or excess
sively, does not limit the amount that
may be spent by a candidate; it makes
him specify, in giving out the money
to paid workers, just how it shall be
spent.

President c.. r. Van Hise of the

regents of that institution were assailed
on the floor of the lower house of the
Legislature as being '.unprogressive"

woman member to the board of re-

the attack, and the assembly reversed
its previous attitude by reyiying the

And while the fight wakes hotter
with the miners of the Central West
and the far West taking a hand, where
does the American coal burner come

coming from? What is a tariff for,
anyway?-St- Louis Republic.
The years 1894, 1895 and 1896 ac-
cumulated a deficit of S1S6,000,O00 The
total ordinary expenditure of the last
year of the Cleveland administration
was 1865, 774, 159. In his inaugural adj
dress March 4, 1897, President McKin-
ley said:
Economy is demanded in every
branch Of the Government at all times,
but especially in periods like the pres
ent. of depression in business and dis
tress among the people. The severest
economy must be observed in all pub
lie expenditures and extravaganza
stopped wherever 1t is found and pre-
vented whenever in the future it may
be developed"
The sound advice of Mckinley fell
on deaf ears. Rooseyelt's pledge to
carry out the Mckinley policy of re-
trenchment weighed on his conscience
as lightly as his pledge of tariff reform.
The last year of the Roosevelt admin
istration found us with the ordinary
Government expenditure Increased to
1888, $50, 125. Mr.. Taft takes office with
a deficit of $150,0oO.OOO.
Yet there is no talk of economy, no
hint of reducing the extravagant ma
tional expenditure to within the ma
tional income. The one necessity Of
the new tariff, in the eyes of Republi-
cans, Is that it shall furnish revenue
sufficient TJr the vast expense.
There is some ground for suspicion
that extravaganza is even encouraged
as an excuse for maintaining a high
tariff.
In any event the plain people who
pay the taxes would be very sincerely
pleased to hear some suggestion that
common sense and ordinary business
principles receive occasional consider
alton in the expenditure of their
money.
