Treaty. She has also lowered her
duties contained in the Omnibus
clause, socalled, from twenty per cent,
the existing rate, to seventeen and a
half per cent.
Canada, however, reserves the right
to grant the same concessions to all
other foreign countries, SO that the
concessions are not peculiar to the
United States. Among the articles
covered by the Omnibus clause, whose
duties are reduced two and half per
cent are: Cotton-seed oil, mineral
waters, celluloid manufactures, straw
manufactures. Among the articles
reduced to the rates fixed in the
French Treaty are: Dates, figs, rails
ms, prunes, currents, almonds, toilet
soaps, perfumes, toilet preparations,
dressed leather; artificial flowers,
watch actions and watch movements.
Concessions From Canada
The position of the United States
in demanding, or humbly asking for
concessions from Canada, and other
countries, every one of which conces-
sions was also direct boom to the
people Of those countries, while at the
same time justifying its action in in
creasing duties in imports from foreign
countries, every one Of which incr eases
was as much as an injury to the
American people as to foreign interests
is certainly unique in the annals Of
diplomacy.
The further announcement that, if
those concessions were not made, that
is, if foreign countries would not con-
tinue to give their own citizens the
benefit of lower taxes, to the incident
al benefit of our people, the United
States would add twenty-five per cent
to the tax burden under which the
American people were already stag
gering, would seem to be in the nature
almost, of burlesque; but burles-
que which would speedily be changed
into a political tragedy, if carried into
execution.
j The absurdity Of this position will
be apparent, when we consider in de
tail some of the concessions secured
from Canada and the treatment OF thu
same articles when imported from for
eigu countries into the United States
Here ie the Growing Absurdit,
For example, the National Admin
, istration has secured lower duties OF

ported from the United States to Can
ada; on the other hand it has increas-
ed duties on similar articles imported
from foreign countries into the United
States, thus putting heavy addition
al burden Of taxation upon our peo-
pie.
Similarly, exports of straw manu-
facturers to Canada have their duties
reduced; but importations into the
United States have duties increased
So also, exports to Canada from the
United States Of dates, figs, toilet
soaps, perfumeries, toilet preparations,
artificial flowers and other articles are
admitted into Canada at lower rates;
but the duties paid by the consumers
of the United States on these articles,
when imported from foreign countries,
are increased under the new tariff.
The browning absurdity, however
would seem to be found in the treat
ment of watch movements. We can,
doubtless, all remember that it was
discovered only a few years ago that
American watch manufacturers we're
selling their watches abroad at prices
far below those charged our people,
and it was pointed out that these
watches could be brought abroad, and
the freight paid back to the United
States, and even they could be sold at
lower prices than similar watches cost
here. Yet, in spite of this fact, we
find that the new tariff has increased
the already outrageous duty Of sixty.
six per cent on the cheaper kind Of
watch movements by over twenty-five
per cent. And, added to this, we find
that the National Administration has
succeeded in inducing Canada to give
q concession to American watch man.

People and the Tariff Polio,
This illustration will stand as /
shining example Of Republican diplo
macy! The National Administration
secures for American watch manufac
turers reduction of twelve and .

thereby to that extent lowering tn

while at the same time it increases th

American manufacturers the privilege
Of still further plundering the Amer
lean people!
In other words, for every percentage
of reduction it has secured from Can
ada, it multiplies the taxes on the
American people twofold! And then
it proudly boasts that if the reduction
had not been obtained from Canada it
would have increased these outrageous
taxes by twenty-five per cent in ad-
dition. Yet this same Administration
now asks the American people to ap-
prove this tariff policy!

on Silks hosiery, optical goods, imita-
ton jewelry and other articles we were
to obtain the privileges Of the mini
mum duties on all of our exports to
France with the exception only of
nineteen specified articles. It should
also be remembered that the Dingley
tariff gave extra duties to many of the
above industries for the very purpose
of reducing them in the Treaty which
the Republican administration expect
ed to make with France under Section
Four of the Dingley Act. The in
dustries in question, however, calmly
took the extra duties and then forced
the Senate to refuse to ratify the pro-
posed French treaty.
And now under the new tariff, in
addition to the extra duties given in
the Dingley Act, the Republican Con-
gress has enormously increased the al
ready uniustly high duties on silks,
hosiery, paper and other articles, and
has refused to reduce the unjust duties
ON optical goods, imitation jewelry,
window glass, gloves and other arti-
cles. The cost of these concessions
which France has been induced to
give us, therefore, is that favored pro
tected industries remain intrenched in
their power of unjust taxation while
others have had that power vastly
increased.
Under President Mckinley, our
country would have secured many
times greater concessions from France,
and at the same time the unjust taxes
on silk, hosiery, optical goods, imita,
ton jewelry, gloves and other articles
would have been moderately reduced

duties on imports from foreign coun-
tries unless the President issues a pro-
clamation that said countries are not
unduly discriminating against the
United States. In fact such procla-
nations have been issued SO that there
Is now no foreign country against
which this maximum duty is being
levied. The new plan of maximum
duties is substitution of Reciprocity

means Of mutual concessions.
1t was announced with a great
flourish Of trumpets, but our Repub-
ilcan friends soon found that it was a
two-edged sword which if welded,
would injure our own interests more
tnan those Of foreign countries. In
stead Of boldly demanding concessions
nom foreign nations, our Government
was practically put tn the attitude Of
namoly beseeching foreign nations to

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-07-11
PRoGREssVEs SHOULD UNITE

In a speech at Winfield, Kansas.
Senator Joseph L. Bristow presented
the case of the ''progressives' and the
following is quoted from his speech:
THE conflict in American politics
today is based upon the same funda-
mental principles as was that which
preceded the civil war. The corpor-
ate interests of the country have DOM
mated the affairs of the nation as
completely as did the slave interests
III the days of its greatest strength.
Just as every effort made for the re-
striction Of slavery was resisted by
the slave trade so every effort to
protect the people from the injustice
of corporate greed is resisted by the
great corporations of this country.
THE Representatives Of the slave
power had seats in the halls of con-
gress and contended for the perpetu-
ity Of slavery because of their finan-
cial interests in the institution. And
now the gigantic monopolies of this
day have representatives in the halls
OF congress whose sole purpose is to
promote their interests and keep open
the opportunity which they have now
tO plunder the American public"
Senator Bristow could have carried
the comparison farther in show
ing the analogy between the political
conditions of the ante-b bellum days
and Of the present time. The demo-
cratic and the whig parties had
ceased to properly represent the po-
Etical sentiment Of the country. A
great and overshadowing issue had
arisen and new party was created
representing those who stood in op-
position TO slavery. Those who were
tired Of the dry and meaningless
creeds still held by the old political
organizations flocked to the standard
of that new party and made Lincoln
president.
At this time as pointed out by SEN
ator Bristow the great question is
shall this government be administer
ed in the interests Of the average man
or FOR the benefit Of special privi-
ieges." In other words shall the
great corporations serve the public
o. shall the public serve the corpor-
stions? Shall the horse or the man
be master?
At this time neither Of the great
political parties faces this issue
squarely. The democratic party has
attempted to do so. Yet there are
conservative and progressive demo-
Gratis as well as conservative and pro-
gressive republicans. The democratic
party is largely a party Of sectional
ism. IT is welded to the south and
this fact has prevented the progressive
element Of the north, east and west
from rallying around its standard
The republican party on the other
hand is dominated by the great finan-
cial interests and It is incredible that

FIGURE IN
THE CLEWS JANGLE

Paris.-Telegrams worded in the
language of the Apaches of Paris
have fallen into the sands of Mrs.
Henry Clews, jr, which will enable
her to complete her divorce and mar
ry the prince of her choice. The for
mer Miss Ludu Morris of Baltimore
and later Mrs Freddie Gebhardt got
a pleasant surprise when astound-
ing dispatches came into her possess
sion at her home. the Villa Said. in
Paris.
1t seems that the Clews' life in
Paris was greatly influenced by a
wild, Bohemian set of eccentric young
men, mostly art students of the Latin
Quarter. They often appeared at Mrs.
Clews' dinner table wearing sandals
and blouses while their slang was in
telligble only to Mr. Clews. They
often sang and shouted outside the
house as imitation Apaches, which is
the name for the toughs and hood
lums of Paris.
They tattooed their legs and arms
with hearts and arrows, the names of
girls and skulls. What made matters
worse in the Clews household was
that while Henry was associated with
this wild set Mrs. Clews moved in
ultra fashionable society.
In some of the cablegrams and tel
egrams sent by CIews to these
Apaches are such phrases as my
Apache Girl" MY Latin Quarter
Chouchou' and MY Montmatrre
Rag" Another discovery is that Hen
ry Clews sent Apache kilograms to
Mrs. Bruguiere when she was in Par
is some months ago. Mrs. Bruguiere
who divorced Pedar Burguiere of San
| Francisco, was stopping at the Hotel
| Westminster, on the Rue De La PaiX
and it was there that kilograms in
the slang of the Apaches reached her
Mrs. Lulu Morris Gebhardt- ClewS
was attending the grand steeplechast
at Auteil when a complete confirma-
ton of Henry's Apache escapades ant
Apache wooing was given her. Hel
friends assert that the result will bt
a speedy divorce; that Mrs. Clews vii
become a princess and that Henry viii
wed Mrs. Bruguiere. Henry's sigma
ture. your Apache Lover" is con
sidered strong evidence, even for Par
is.
Mrs. Clews refuses to discuss hel
| possible marriage with a man o.
title. She said: II am never inter
viewed in the New York press" which
is the Baltimore way of saying she
never grants interviews. In spite Of
! her two unfortunate ventures in mat
rimony Mrs. Clews is the most light
hearted and charming woman in
| Paris.
