PIPE FOUR FEET HIGH
New York Timesl


A marvellous pipe was added yester.
day to the assorted collection of ar.
ticles at the Appraisers Stores. 1t
was seized by a vigilant customs
watchman on Pier 80, Brooklyn. He
said in his report that he had de-
tected j. C. Hendricks, steward on
the Uranium liner Volturno, attempt.
ing to take it ashore under his coat.
The pipe stands about four feet
high. 1t is of German design, with a
porcelain bowl nearly foot high. On
this is painted scene and an inscrip.
tion in German. The stem is of black
and gray horn, elaborately carved
from bowl to mouthpiece.
Hendricks went to the custom house
and explained that he had no intention
of smuggling the pipe. He was bring
ing ashore, he said, to find out where
he must go on the pier to pay duty
when the watchman pounced upon
him. He said that he bought the pipe
for so. Some of the officials offered
to give SO for it and pay duty besides
Hendricks did not take the offer.

pie, we have respect and are ready
to give confidence. They are heroes,
and deserve we'll of the country.
Nor are all the rogues in one par
tip. There are Democrats who watch
for opportunities to strike side blows
for trusts, and who secretly aid by
discrediting Senators who are indie
pendent; and there are Republicans
who have ''sold out" long ago and
continue to "deliver the goods
1t is not in the Senate alone that
rascals have found places of useful
ness to trusts. The House is hon
eycombed with rottenness, and ''job-
berry, of everyday occurrence. The
only difference is that it costs more
to own a Senator than to own mem
Der of the House. Rotten Senators
get bigger pay.
Nor is corruption confined to the
houses of Congress. In Legislatures
there are rotten memb ers, and
outside crowds of lobbyists, ready to
pay for timber" There are few
Legislatures in which trusts are not
represented. If you doubt this,
watch the course of some members
of your next Legislature.
Games of poker, and other forms
OF gambling are means of transfer
ring Compensation from the lobby
lists to timber purchased. This
form of transfer has the advantage
that it can be used to disprove the
bride, paid through the game.
You cannot prove a man accepted
money as a "bribe" when he can
prove that he won it in a game Of
poker. The game" is the safe
means of paying the bribe. No lob
byist will win from a man whose
vote he wishes to secure.-Farm and

Smith and others are known to be
interested, and yet efforts of the Gin
Surgents," and of honest Democrats,
have failed to so arrange the sched-
ules as to prevent steals.
Mr.. Welliver has shown up the Su-
gar Trust, and it's iniquisition plans
are open, yet the people are helpless.
If there is to be relief, it must be
from help given to Democrats by
insurgents; and yet there are peo-
pie who condemn the insurgents
for being against the dishonest meth
DDS Of party leaders. For ourselves,
we give to insurgents who are de-
manding honest methods, great cred
it, and believe they should be en-
cOuraged. Having dared to fight
"Aldrichism, we believe they de-
serve honor.
That the interests are we'll rep
resented in Congress is demon
strated, and proof of purchase and
sale Of Senators is clear. Yet moth
ing can be done to purge service of
men shown to be in the service of
trusts and monopolies.
Until it became evident that part
of the press was owned by trusts and
monopolies, there was reason to hope
for revolution which would bring re-
lief; but where we shall drift, no
one can say.
Foraker was turned out by the Re
publicans because of fees and loans
from Standard Oil; and it became
clear that part of the program was
to have him purchase influential
newspapers. For a time it did ap-
pear as if the people would have
chance, but soon others as bad were
in power, and the old way goes on.
In the Senate there is the coil
Group" the "Steel Group" the "Su-
gar Group" the Copper Group"
Timber Group" etc.
We wish it were possible to name
group" which represented the
people honestly and faithfully.
There are honest men in the Sen
ate. We are sure there are many
who would faithfully protect the peo-
pie, and these are among Republi-
cans as we'll as Democrats; but they
are divided into political groups, and
have not been able to work effect
lively.

ever had, and he declared that the Republi-
cans would make the coming campaign
squarely on the tariff as it stands
According to Mr.. Payne, we are now en-
joying prosperity beyond limits ever dreamed
of, the merchant, the farmer, the laborer,
in fact all of us are better fixed than we ever
expected to be.
The farmer is getting better price for
his products while he buys all of his nipple
ments, etc., at a much less cost. The merchant
is having a good time because he is selling
more goods to the people who have money
enough to pay for the goods and more than
they want BESIDES The laborer is having the
best time of his life because he is getting bet
ter wages than ever before, and there is more
work to be done than laborers to do it.
Prices may be little high, but that is be-
cause we have such an abundance of gold,
and it is cheaper to mine the gold now than
it was few years ago.
Oh no, the tariff has nothing to do with
the high prices according to Serene.
Prices are high simply because we have so
much cheap gold.
Serene might have found better scape-
goat than gold without trying very hard -
certainly he could have found one that he
could more easily palm off on the common
people.
If the worlds supply Of gold is greater, or
cheaper, why does not the increase in prices
extend throughout the world as in the United
States?
Why do prices rise more rapidly here than
in England, which is a free-trade country?
Why do American goods manufactured
here at home sell in England for less than
they sell in the United States?
Serene and his crowd will have hard trav-

THE TRUSTS AND THE PEOPLE.

There are efforts of honest men in
the United States Senate to show up
the rascality of Senators who belong
to the interests, and yet with the
light thrown upon their transactions,
rascality continues.
Senator Bristow, Republican, of
Kansas, has been after the Sugar
Trust" and has exposed the rascality
of that institution, and yet tariff pro-
visions which enable the Trust to ex-
ist, are again part of the law. 1t is
known that Smoot, Republican, of
Utah, is interested in the Trust,
since he is elder of the Mormon
Church, and the Church is owner of
part of the stock of one of the trust
companies.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-05-19

cling trying to make the people believe that
an over-supply of gold, instead Of the tariff,
has caused the increase in prices
For the time being, the Insurgents have the
Presidents railroad bill shot to pieces.
While Mr.. Taft was in Pittsburg praising
Secretary Knox for his faithful service to j.
?. Morgan & Co., and the Steel Trust, the
Insurgent Senators were hammering the life
out of his pet railroad measure, which was
intended to give the railroads just whatever
the railroads were modest enough to ask for
AS it now stands, about the only thing left
of the bill is that item providing for COM
merce court.
The item which provides the right for rail
roads to make traffic agreements with each
other as well as the item which provides for
the acquiring of competing lines must CO. as
the strength of two sides now stands.
If the final struggle results in the defeat
of these two items, the Insurgents will be
we'll paid for the hard fight which they have
made against the infamous measure, even if
they do not accomplish another thing at this
session of Congress.
The Sherman antitrust law protects the
people little enough against powerful COM
blnatlons such as railroad mergers, but with
that little restraint taken away and the rail-
roads given free hand to make rate agree
ments and absorb one another the people
would be entirely at the mercy of one or two
railroads.
Give the railroads the right to make their
own rate agreements and the right to own
competing lines and j. P. Morgan would be
ruling the country, in less than six months,
with a more powerful hand than John D.
Rockefeller controls the oil market in this
country.

If nineteen years are consumed in prose-

liver us from weak one.
The very reasons that Mr.. Taft gives for
not having public Congressional investiga
ton, are the very reasons why we should
have such an investigation.
The people would like to know how, year
after year, for nineteen years, this corrupt
partnership between the corrupt Sugar Trust
officials and the corrupt Government officials
has been allowed to exist.
The people demand the facts, and it is the
