Though Mr.. Taft and the Re-
publican leaders have boosted
of economy and millions saved
there has been such a riot of ex.
travagance that the appropri-
ations of the session of Con-
gress just closed amount to over
81 1855, 600, 900, or about forty
millions more than the highest
previous record.
Even upon the Legislation on
which Mr.. Taft specially prides
himself the trail of the serpent
of special interests is visible to
the naked eye. The Railroad
bill as passed still contains in
the new Court of Commerce and
other features marks of the fine
railroad hand which prepared
the original bill. The system
of postal savings banks to be
established will be exploited as
a great achievement in the in
terest of the wage-earners and
those of moderate means : but
its opponents declare that it
will be an instrument by which
the savings of the people can
be drawn from their stockings,
tin boxes and the local banks
and drained into the great finan-
cial centres. The Wall street
financiers hail it as a means to
prevent boarding of funds,
rather than a provision for safe
guarding the savings of the
masses.
The good effect of the Cam
paign Publicity bill was prac-
tically nullified by providing
for the publication of contri-
buttons after election. so that
the voters will have no oppor-
tunity when they vote to find
out the forces and interests be-
hind the parties and candidates.
With such a burden of political
sins the Republican party can
expect but one verdict from the
American people in November.

Unite In His Praise.

Republican and Democratic
newspapers unite in praise OF
the work of Senator John Wal
ter Smith in the session of Con-
gress which came to close last
Saturday. He has been able to
secure much legislation of BEN
eft to Maryland. He also did
all he could to prevent the pas
sage of some of the laws which
were passed and which he says
will be of little or no benefit to
the country, but these laws
were even worse when first pre-
scented than in their present
shape. 1t was the Democratic
Senators standing shoulder to
shoulder against them that
caused their amendment, and
gave to the people laws less
burdensome than would have
been the case if it had not been
for the strenuous opposition of
Senators Smith, Rayner and the
other Democratic Senators.
Senator Smith is expected to
arrive at his home in Snow Hill

Republican Pary's Tremendous
Burden.
From The Baltimore Sun.

From The Baltimore Sun.
The Republican party goes in
to the Congressional campaign
handicapped by heavy burden.
The counts in the indictment
which it has drawn up against
itself are so numerous and seri-
Gus that the Democrats will find
it scarcely necessary to prepare
the usual book of campaign is
sues. First of all comes the
fatal and deadly Payne-Aldrich
Tariff bill. which hangs like a
milestone around the neck of
the Republican party, and is
alone sufficient to sink it to the
bottom of the political sea.
Since the new law passed al
most everything we eat, wear
or buy has risen in price. The
"high cost of living affects
every home, takes its toll from
every purse. All the Lodge re.
ports, misleading statistics, Aid
rich speeches and Taft smiles
will not answer it. 1t appears
at the breakfast table, looms up
in the clothing and dry goods
stores, and cries out from the
market basket. The people can
no longer be deceived in regard
to the tariff. They know that
a high tariff means high prices.
They know the tariff has not
been reduced as was promised.
The day of reckoning is at hand.
Aldrich, Cannon, Payne and
Lodge may deceive the Presi-
deat, but they will find that
they have not fooled the people.
Another issue which cannot
be defended or explained away
is the Ballinger scandal. 1t is
another case in which the Adj
ministration has stood by the
trusts instead of the people, and
the latter cannot he hoodwink-
ed or misled in regard to it.
AS if it were not enough to
raise the cost of living by a
high tariff and conspire to hand
over the wealth of Alaska to a
grasping syndicate, the Repub-
lican party seems to have aided
and abetted in the effort of the
Sugar Trust and its friends to
secure at nominal prices a large
part of the Friar lands in the
Philippines. Wherever the long
arm of trust has been stretch
ed out to rob the people through
taxation or to seize their prop
erty, there we find the Repub-
lican party or its agents active
in aiding the spoilers or pro.
tecting them while they steal.

linger has even gone so far as
to remove Clifford Pinchot, drive
