If the small handful Of democratic sem
ators and representatives in congress who
voted with the Aldrich-C Cannon T aft
combination, would throw off the mask
and get into the republican party where
they belong. and the insurgents in the
republican party who are sincere, would
work in the democratic ranks, politics
would become simpG6ed and the people
might gel justice, but as long as party
ties are Stronger than a call to duty, the
trusts and the politicians who represent
them will win out.

The Democrats Of the sfate who will

OF electing a part, if not all, Of their state

hopes their path would be rosy one,
indeed. But those hopes" are going to
be realized some day. Fighters like the

Col. Harvey, editor Of Harper's
Weekly. who keeps an observant eye on
the political situation Of the nation, says
that the living expenses have advanced
fully 50 per cent during the past ten years
and while the living expenses have ad-
vanced the corporations have become
that much Stronger. The farmer seems
to be the only one who has had very
small per cent Of his share Of the exces-
sive prices; This is because Of the high
prices Of farm products and stock.
The man who works has not had his
wages advanced in the same proportion
as has the cost of living advanced. Col.
Harvey attributes this condition to the
tariff policy Of the present administration.
The ultimate end will be marked and
distinct reduction Of the tariff and unless
the present political power provides some
remedy it will cause its own downfall.
