REAL ISSUE CLEAR
NO LONGER DOUBT ABOUT STAND
PATTERS' POSITION.
Idea Now, as in the Past, Is That
Monopolists Are to Be Allowed
to Write Their Own
Schedules.

Thanks to Senator Dolliver. the
public understands better than it did
how the Aldrich substitute bill was
framed.
The cotton and wooden schedules
for instance, were handed in, and Sen.
ator Aldrich and his "languid dis.
ciples" of the finance committee mere.
ly audited the outsiders demands. 1t
is a fine old protectionist custom, and
as a stand-patter the Rhode Island
senator naturally approves. The lead
ers Of favored industries were permit
ted to write their own schedules for
the Mckinley bill. A certain Phila-
delphia manufacturer even boosted
that 1--WE paid for the Dingley bill and
it is ours"
Senator DOlliver evidently does not
look at tariff revision that way. Re-
ferring to the origin of the wooden
schedule, he said the only difference
between Senator Aldrich and himself
was that | have grown a little more
curious to see what was in the pack
age What he had discovered was that
by slippery provisions and obscure de
vices the Dingley rates were advanced
in the pending bill. The consumer,
instead of reaping any benefit, was
threatened with dearer clothing.
Is it any wonder Senator Aldrich
was horror stricken? "An assault on
the cotton and wooden schedules" he
exclaimed in shocked tones, lis an as
sault on the very citadel Of protec-
ton" The does not enter
into his calculations. Protection as he
views it is the rightful privilege of a
small favored class who are entitled
to insurance by the government
against all foreign competition, with
the added guarantee that they shall
practise eXtortion in the home mar
ket.
There a no longer be any doubt
about the real issue in the senate. If
Senator Aldrich and his following have
their way the country will have been
humbugged by Republican campaign
pledges. If the beneficiaries of the
tariff, whose greed has only been
sharpened by long years of undis-
turbed possession of congress and the
custom-houses, are allowed to write
their own schedules for the present
tariff bill, the work of revision will
have to be done all over again. Senator
Dolliver gave timely warning when he
said, IF you want a tariff agitation to
begin the moment this bill is made q
law you have pursued a wise and
proper course"

In Anomalous Position

There isn't much hat is bashful
about the so-called watch trusts II
there were the American watch manu-,
%facturers wouldn't be begging for pro.
lection against foreign watchmakers
to the tune Of 175 per cent. and at
the same time asking congress to pro-
tect them against themselves by levy.
ing duties On American watches
bought by American dealers abroad
and brought back to this country. If
the American matchmaker can COM
pete with the pauper matchmaker of
Europe in his own market, it wouldn't
be a bad idea to fix his tariff so that
he would have to sell in the United
States at prices no higher than he
gets abroad.

WHY ALL THIS INDIGNATION?

tical confession of the sugar trust
that it has ~defrauded the government
out of at least 50, 900, 900 in the last
ten years by cheating in weights,

condemnation and contempt. Even

row over this mean and contemplate
theft.
Yet, except upon the pOstulate long
ago c~ynically formulated that 1t is
only the comparatively small offenses
that are criminal and despicable, we
see little ground for this revulsion at
the discovery of a minor Offense of
the trust. The new information is
that the sugar trust has been cheat
ing the people of the United States
lCpi eSeuteu ny the government u OF
$4,000 600 per year. 1t has been cheat
ing the same people In the status of
consumers of sugar out of 200 to 400
times as much by combinations to en-.
hance prices. Both methods were
illegal long before trusts were
dreamed of in this country. AS for
o-bnoxiousness to general morals the
defrauding of the revenue was regard
ed as a venial offense several gen.
erations after the fragrant injury and
selfishness of arbitrary enhancement
of prices was clearly seen.
We protest that the sugar trust is
entitled to some sympathy, not on ac-
count of the government prosecutions,
which are inevitable, but in connection
with the denunciations Of those that
recently tolerated if they did not sup
port 1t. Since this class view it's

what reason had it to suppose there
would be ethical horror if, following
the well-established precedent of the
horse-leech's daughters, it swelled it's
illegal gains by the comparatively
petty larceny of 100000 yearly?

Lower Tariff-More Revenue.

Aside from the income and corpora
ton tax amendments, the striking fea
ture of the first tariff discussion in
the senate was the objection by Sen
ator Aldrich that reduction of import
duties would increase evenu until
the treasury overflowed with more
money than is,needed.
Senator Aldrich's attitude is a viz.
tual admission that the tariff Is al
ready prohibitive. His intention of
keeping it prohibitive extends even
to cutting down our national extrava-
gance, in order that a smaller annual
expenditure may prevent lowering of
import duties to increase the volume

SERMONETTE.

The Book of Tobias gives US

Ii more marriages to-day were

I Gods law ruled in the home

There is no question but that
the matter of marriage is too
lightly considered. Motives

ner of living can bring only dis
aster, not only. upon the imme-
date members of the family in
volved, but upon the nation as
we'll.
The buIwark of any nation
must be the purity of it's family
life, and when loose living and
divorce stalk through the land
wreckins the lives Of the princi-
pals and cursing the children, if
hapIess in such cases there be
children, it offers one of the
most serious menaees to the ma
tional life.
There is but one ground of d. :
vorce laid down in Gods law, :
and at least two of the great de- :
nominations recognize only this <
one basis of divorce, namely,
the Catholic and the Episcopal (
churches. That there are vio- -.
iations of this law of these two
churches is only additional evil }
dence how this social decay is (
eating its way into the very }
vitals of the nation. 4
And just as Gods law de- !
clares that there is but one (
cause for divorce, so it also sets I
forth clearly and positively the !
one rule which governs in max /
ing marriage alliances. :
The New Testament warning 1
is "Be ye not unequally yoked :
together with u~nbelievers: for !
what fellowship hath righteous
ness with unrighteousness? And
what communication hath light =
with darkness?" !
This is the law for the Chris J
tian, and many a life is ship !
wrecked because it is dis :
obeyed.
In the romance before US of J
Tobias and Sara we find strik- I
ing illustration Of this loyalty :
to Gods law, and Of the bless I
ing which followed.

As Aldrich Sees IL.

Now the great Aldrich plan is: What
is the use of delaying things? What
the people, the interests, want is
some decision-it does not so much
matter what-so that they can know
what to depend N. 1t is plain that
we can neve agree on any radical
changes (downward), so let us be
sensible and pass the bill the inter
ests want as soon as we can and go
home. Don't you know that the more
we talk the more people come to un-
derstand the true inwardness of the
whole system? Then where shall we
be? The thing to do is to pass the
bill-my billiard adjourn.

THE STORY.

IN THE days of long ago when the
/ Jews were suffering deportation
from their land there lived an exile
in the great city of Nineveh named
Tobit. Poverty and blindness had
come to this devout Jew. Poverty
through change of rulers in the land,
which prevented him from going into
Media to obtain there a large sum of
money which was held by a trusted
friend. Blind because of exposure
incurred in burying n of his breth-
rem who had been ruthlessly MUIR
dered and cast outside the walls of
the city.
The household Of Tobit consisted
of his devoted wife Anna and his
son Tobias. Owing to the blindness
of the father the mother was forced
to make the living for the family.
Bowed with his affection and the
grief of their unfortunate condition,
the father looked for death as a re-
lief. But as he thought on death
and remembered his son, now quite
grown to manhood's estate, his heart
was stricken with remorse that he
should leave him SO lily prepared to
face the hard conditions which were
the lot OF the poor Jew in Nineveh.
He knew that he would be unable
to care for his mother in her old
age.
The grief and detection of Tobit
cast a gloom Owe the home, and the
wife Anna and the son Tobias watched
with anxious eye from day to dav
Tobit's weakening frame, and tried
by every means possible to cheer him.
"Ah, but how can l do Alright but
mourn" Tobit declared in response
to the gentle Gliding of his wife.

of bread winning upon you and the
boy, and what will become of you in

The Tariff Honor Roll.

Dolliver, Cummins, Nelson and
Clapp. These four Republican insur
gents against Aldrich tariff iniquities
deserve the special thanks of the
west. They are GASES in the dead
desert of high protection. Their
good work stamps them as men of
mark. In the eyes of their friends
they have surpassed themselves.
All honor to honesty that cannot be
blinded by party prejudice, bought by
eastern tariff barons, or beaten into
submission by Republican grand
dukes. The west needs such men
and will not forget to reward their
services.

Senatorial Idea of a Tariff.

President Taft believes that the
prime purpose of tariff is to raise rev.
enue for support of the government.
But isn't he laboring under a de-
fusion? In the senate just now are
evidences of a strong feeling that the
prime purpose of tariff making is to
adjust the balance between great in
terests that do not dwell together in
the harmony that characterized Bar
