great mass of the republican voters
Of the country are with him in
protesting against the use Of that
principle as an excuse and cloak for
tariff excess
How much OF fraud, how much

indicates by showing that revision
downward was confined largely to
commodities produced in sufficient
quantities TO enable Us 20 export a
part Of them. 50 that the deceptive
reduced duty, so far from en-
eourzging any competition from
abroad, simply furnishes an excuse
for maintaining high prices at

outrageous textile and sugar
schedules or for the duties on
structural steel and on divers other
articles
But listening 10 MS Illuminating

made no mention Of tariff in their

TAFT IS NOT OF THE OLD GUARD

The Old Guard at Washington is
reported to have induced President
Taft to fall in line for the fall cam
paign. If this be true it is quite a
notable addition and conquest as
Taft was not an Old Guard.
The Old Guard is an organization
commanded by Speaker Cannon and
Senator Aldrich which succeeded
he stand-pattcrs Of Mark Hanna's
day. With Mr.. Taft as its most
distinguished r|ecruitit will attempt
to discourage independent political
thought ard action that may be
troublesome to the interests.
Old Guard in political as we'll as
in war are generally found in
desperate positions. The fact that
Mr.. Taft in a little more than a
year has been reduced to this OK
trcmity shows either that he did not
understand his party when he became
its leader or that he does not now
understand himself.
As Senator Beyeridge is n upon
whom the Old Guard is soon TO move.
the speech by that gentleman in the
Indiana convention has interest,
Unlike the president Of the United
States. he stands by his guns. He
says the same things today that he
said two years ago. He talks in
Indianapolis exactly as he talks in
Washington. The fact that he is
nov TO meet his constituents as a
candidate for reelection makes no
change in his ideas or in his words.
What a senator Of the United
States can do a president of the

that Gcncralissimos Cannon and

BEVERlDGE ON THE REVISION FRAUD.
WARD.

The view Of Senator Beveridge on
the Payne-Aldrich law represents
the view of the average man who
knows something about the effect of
tariffs and who has followed events
closely enough to know something
about the influences that triumphed
in the late revision of the schedules.
Unfortunately, the great a of
people know little about the effect of
the tax which the custom houses
levy, and still less about the details
of the revision legislation of last
summer. To such there is particular
value in the address delivered by
Mr.. Beveridgc in the first of the re-
publican state conventions to be
held this year. that of Indiana. He
knows a great deal more about
tariffs than the average man having
had occasion to make special study
Of the subject, and as a national
he knows all about how

FALLEN BELOW THE STANDARD

President Taft has completed the
first year Of his administration
The Baltimore Sun, a paper that
has been friendly to Mr. Taft, says:
AT the beginning of his term in
the White House he wa believed TO
be a man of broad views, with the
courage Of his convictions, but we
admit that he has disappointed them.
He began with an apparent intention
of revising the tariff downward, but
when the standpatters had every
thing their own way with the Payne
bill he commended It, instead Of de-
nouncing it In 50 acting he fell
below the standard set up by a
democratic predecessor. When IN
faithful democratic senator's failed
to make the rates Of the Wilson
tariff bill accord with ante-election
promises, President Cleveland
signifed plainly his disapproval and
refused to sign the bill. Herac-
cepted the responsibility of his
position as leader of his party and
insisted upon the performance of
its promises. President Taft pre-
ferred to follow and applaud where
he could not approve. If as he said
in his speech at Newark, y. j., a
few days ago, all the newspapers
unite in hammering the admin
stration,' it is because ne has neg
lected a great opportunity. He is
still personally popular. There is
yet In the three remaining years Of
his term a chance 10 regain lost
ground. This he can do remember
ing that heis president OF the whole
country. not of a party least of all
Of the greedy, selfish, ultra-pro-
tectionist section of his party. He
knows. or should know that the
monopolistic trusts he processes
to wish to reform are built up by a
tariff. If he doesn't know this, his
party is in advance Of him. For him
to defend a tariff which strengthens
the hold of the monopolies distresses
his best friends. No amount of
defense or explanation by the
president or any one else, says the
ST. Paul Pioneer Press, a republican
journal, will convince the American
people that the pledges Of the
republican platform have been
kept. The tariff law, when all
defense of it has been weighed, re-
mains as a dishonorable deception.
Lawyer like bubbles from the
president as to the intent of the
platform are unbecoming to his high
Office. His seeming insincerity in
the tariff matter may throw doubt
upon his directness in other measures
which he is proposing to congress.
He still has opportunity to regain
public confidence if he will sink the
partisan in the patriot. the politician
in the stateman."

In fact are getting them without cost,
This statement upon first thought may
appear absurd; but let us reverse the
process of reasoning and see If 1t is not
true
The farmers, by expending millions
of dollars for the comforts and enjoy
ments of life-even for the luxuries if
you will-are creating enormous oppor-
tunities for the employment of labor.
The employment of that labor in turn
increases the consuming and purchas-
ing power of labor with the resulting
increase in the value of what it pur-
chases and consumes, the greatest
items of which are the foodstuffs, the
products of the farm.
Take the farmers who today have
the cash to pay for comforts, for au-
tomobiles or other so-called luxuries.
Let them all suddenly stop and in
less than a year it would be found
that they would have no surplus to
buy with. The whole country would
quickly gevert to the old order Of
things, the souphouse, low prices for
farm products and the resulting de-
probation of farm properties.
The man who decries the spending OF
money which goes to pay for the prod
ucts of labor with the idea that such
expenditures are detrimental to the in
dustrial welfare of the people as
whole does so either because he him
self happens to be so situated that he
can profit by the misfortunes of 9TH
ers, or because he is not mentally broad
enough to comprehend fully the pro-
cess necessary to produc industrial
well being and general prosperity.

DISTANCE 2 MILES AROUND
RAMBLER COMPANY'S PLANT

Few people realize the magnitude
and extent of equipment necessary in
an automobile factory in which % per
cent of all the parts of the car are
made. For instance, one watchman Of
the Rambler factory, in going his
rounds for the night, travels about
eight miles and a half.
Charles T. JeHery, general manager
of the Thomas B. Jeffery company
says that If you started at one corner
of the Rambler plant and walked
around the. buildings, returning to the
same spot, you would walk mile and
a half or a distance equivalent to
fifteen city blocks, figuring ten blocks
to a mile If you started at the point
where the raw materials are received
and made a tour of the plant you
would travel about two miles.
Going around the factory would be
equivalent to walking three times
around the Rambler half-mile testing
track, or three and three-quarters
time around the Chicago city square
in which the big store of Marshall
Field & Co. is located
Five new buildings are now being
added to the Rambler plant, including
the new power plant. and additions
are constantly being made to the
working force.
The Rambler output for 1911 will
again be limited to 2500 cars. Large
additions have been made during the
past year to the machine shop, motor
assembling department and inspection
department.
Every important part of the car,
even including the finest limousine
bodies, are now made in the Kenosha
DIant
