The problem of all ages has been
equitable distribution of the fruits of
labor. The problem is acute in this
nation to-day because the Aldrich-
Taft tariff reverses the normal chan

Tariff taxation, beyond the amount
necessary for an economical admins.
tratIon of government, is Industrial
feudalism's chief weapon. Private
monopoly brushes opportunity. 1t not
only destroys the power of individuals
to amass wealth through healthy com
petition, but turns its batteries Of ex-
tortion on helpless consumers in all
walks of life.
Great private fortunes built upon
private monopoly Of any Of natures

sugar, lumber or any other-are mon
uments to the nations economic folly.
