the earth is 4 900, 900 years old. The

Why President Taft Loves the
New Tariff

In his Message, Mr.. Taft tells us why he
likes the new tariff, under which the cost of
living has increased so much.
He brags on it, because 1t brings so much
money into the treasury.
But whose money is it? Not that Of the
foreigner, but of the American citizen.
The foreigner pays the Custom-house duty,
(Tarif) but he adds it to the selling price of
his goods; and this extra amount, having got
into the price, remains there all the way down
the line, until the final purchaser is reached.
This final purchaser and user of the goods
is the man who really pays the Custom-house
duty. He it is who has to part with the
money, to make good to the foreigner qoh0t
the Government charged him for the pTlVI-
edge Of bringing has stuff into oar market.
The more the Government receives from this
source, the greater is the loss of the people
who are the last purchasers of the foreigners
goods.
And because we are bled $300,000O00 a
year in this way, our President is pleased
with the law which does it!

The Modest Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad
Railroad

About five years ago this railroad was
earning 30 per cent. net profit
Fearing that such large diviends might in
spire a demand for reduction in freight and
passenger rates, the corporation watered it's
stock.
That is to say, it issued and divided among
the stockholders an additional amount of
capital-stock, which represented no additional
amount of money paid in, and which cost the
road nothing, excepting the expense of print
ing.
But this bogus capitalization enabled the
Coast Line to claim that it was capitalized
at much greater sum than before the new
stock was issued: consequently, the same net
earnings as before would not appear to be so
unreasonably high.
Catch the point!
Let me illustrate:
Say that railroad is capitalized at $780,
100000, and that the dividends are 80 per
cent. The Wall-streeters wish to make it ap
pear in future that their profits are not so
great.
Therefore, without putting another dollar
into the investment, they issue S1OO,OOO,OOO IN
stocks and bonds, which are divided among
the Wall-streeters
Then when their report is published, it
will appear that the net earnings of the rail-
road are only Is per cent, when, in fact, it
has actually made the same amount Of profit
on the original stock.
Having covered up the true state OF affairs,
by the dishonest increase in capitalization the
corporation will take the first opportunity to
90 before the Railway Commissions and de-
mand the right to increase it's charges to ship
pers and passengers.
Right n0ao, the atlantic Coast Line IS doing
that gerry thing.
