wise pledged themselves to re.
vision upward.
These contributions to the Re
publican campaign fund were
investments in every sense OF
the word. The trusts figured
that if Republicans were elected
the tariff on the particular com
mOditieS in which they
dealt would be kept sufficiently
high to bar out competition and
assure them monopolies on Amer
lean markets.
With this end in view the tariff
trusts and combinations of manu-
facturers contributed literally to
Republican campaign funds.
The expenditure of this faint
ed money enabled the Republi-
cans to dominate Congress! The
tariff was revised upward! The
manufacturers were given their
mOnopolies Prices were boost
ed!
The result is that the people are
now repaying to the tariff trusts,
in increased prices, not only the
amounts invested as contributions
to the Republican campaign fund,
but they r also paying a profit
varying from 100 to 1000 per
cent beside.
And in the meantime the big
corporate interests have taken
the reigns of government out of
the hands of the people, into
their own, for safe keeping. Such
is the milk in the protection CO.

GOVERNMENT BY MONEY
It cost Joseph G. Sibley $40,-
698,83 to win the Republican
nomination for Congress in the
Twenty-eighth District of Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Sibley received
10,446 votes at the primaries and
each vote represented an expend-
iture of nearly 81. As his plur-
atty was only $50 it is fair to say
that his nomination was brought
about by the sheer power of mon

AT the primaries in the Thir-
tenth District of Pennsylvania.
John Dalzell spent $4,000, most
of which was contributed by
protected manufacturers. The
combined expenditures of Sibley
and Dalzell in these two districts
were nearly $4,000. Their COM
