SENATOR DoLLIVER, IOWA,
ON THE kLDRicH TAR
IFF LAW. .

Not only do | denounce the
Payne-Aldrich tariff legislation,
but | am not particularly enam-
cred of those who passed it.
Il do not like this idea of hav-
ing customhouse officials write
our. tariff laws. Behind nearly
every one of these veteran ex-
perts from the customhouse is
the veteran manager of the en-
sterprise that is to be fixed.
The past year witnessed two
events of unusual interest-the
discovery of the North Pole by
DR.. Cook and the revision of
the tariff downward by the sem
ator from Rhode Island-each
in its way a unique hoax, and
both promptly presented to the
favorable notice of the public
by the highest official congratu-
lations.
"An analysis of the Payne-Al-
drich tariff, schedule by sched-
ule, and item by item, should
convince anyone that so far as
the public is concerned the tar
if revision in fact carries rates
as high or higher than the Ding
ley tarii; law ON most articles
Of general use in their finished
condition. Most Of the reduc-
tons were so trivial as to be
ridiculous.
Our promise to revise the
tariff with reference to a set
standard of justice and fairness
by which Il laws would give
the advantage to our own pee
pie of that difference in the cost
of production which is known to
exist between this market place
and the market place of other
countries. That was our prom
Use. How did we fulfill it? 1t
was laughed at as ridiculous.
Il have here a little sample of
fancy black muslin, and l want
to show just what has been
done to it. Under the Dingley
law the duty was IS per cent
plus 2 per cent, which equals per
square yard 6.70 cents. The AL
drich tariff duty is 5A cents
per yard, plus 2 cents, plus l
cent, equals per square yard
SA cents, or an equivalent of
61 per cent. The truth is that
this cotton schedule, which
came here with a plea to con-
gress not to touch it, left our
deliberations with increases
ranging all the way from 80 to
nearly 100 per cent"

THE SPLENDID RECORD OF
THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.

. The Democratic party in Mis-
. souri, is the party of progress.
. Under the wise guidance OF
. Democratic statesmen, the I'm
. perial Commonwealth has. ad-
. vanced from a lowly rank
: among the sisterhood of states
. to a commanding place near the
i. head of the column. passing a
. score of older states in her
. steady march upward. Indeed,
. the history of the Democratic
. party for the past 40 years in
. this state is the history of Mis-
!. souri,. Since coming into power
; in the early seventies, no minis
. ter of the gospel has languished
. in prison because of his sympa-
. thy for a beaten and baffled peo-
: pie, and no Count Rodman has
. thwarted the will of freemen by
. cremating their ballots. Inher-
. 1ting a debt of many millions
. from the Republican party and
! a tax levy of so cents, the party
. of Jefferson and Jackson by ad-
. ministering the affairs of state
. honestly and economically Ii
. quidated the obligation and at
. the same time steadily reduced
! the rate of taxation until now it
!. is but II cents, the lowest of
. any state in the Union. And
. while the Democratic party was
. discharging this great debt fas-
. tened upon the people by Re-
! publican incompetency, on one
!. hand. and lowering the tax levy
. on the other, it founded a score
: or more institutions and erected
. two score or more of magnifi-
cent state buildings. Industrial
. schools at Boonyille and Chilli
cothe, normal schools at Kinks
l vile, Warrensburg, Cape Girar-
! deau, Springfield and Maryville,
! School for the Blind at st.
!. Louis, stately buildings for the
! university at Columbia and Roll
! la, School for the Deaf at Full
. ton, asylums for the insane at
J st. Joseph, Pennington, Neva-
/ da, and Fulton, Home for the
. Epileptic and Predetermined at
I Marshall, homes for cid soldiers
. at st. James and Higginsville,
! and a rebuilt penitentiary and
. capitol and new supreme count
. building, binder Irvine factory,
!. tuberculosis %sanitarium, fruit
/ experiment station-these are
I some of the records of the party
! of progress and achievement in
! Missouri. And while Democratic
. Missouri was paying off the Re-
I publican debt, lowering the tax
!. levy and building splendid state
I schools and asylums, it also
! found time to become the patron
I of world fairs fer the education
I and ediicRtion of the people
i then on earth, and to provide a
Z permanent school fund for the
! education of future generations
! "a school fund exceeded by on
{ ly n state in the Union. III
: short, the record of the Dem
1 ocratic party includes the things
+ worth while achieved in this
1 imperial commonwealth; we
I point to it with pride; we chal-
{ lenge comparison; we invite the
7 fullest investigation.

HILLsBORo Democrat: "Having
been told that the assumption has
been given utterance in other
counties of this judicial district
that this paper would not support
Judge bearing for Circuit Judge,
we desire to state now that the
statements made on that assump-
tion were the creature of the brain
OF the speaker and were not based
on any tangible ground. 1t was
presumed that because we sup
ported Sam Byrns for that nomi-
nation that we would bolt the
party nominee because of his de-
feat. That presumption was
baseless and unwaranted. We are
for Judge E. M. bearing for Cir
cult Judge of this district. We
believe that he is old enough and
well enough qualified to make a
Circuit Judge who would attend
to the duties of his office efficient
ly, and with despatch; and that
he would save the district thou
sands of dollars that are now be-
ing spent for court costs in this
district. The present Circuit Judge
by his dilatory tactics has pro-
longed the terms of court to about
double the ordinary terms in this
county and perhaps the same is
true in every county in this dis
trict, thus doubling the expense to
the tax payers. We believe the
district has had enough of it and
wants a change; and we will GER
tainly get it,"

President Taft, Senator Aid
rich, Speaker Cannon and Con-

pride" to the free list, under the
present tariff act, and assure
. the people of the country, that
u tariff law is one of the best
that was ever enacted. We find
upon examination of the free
list, just how thoughtful" these
government guardians have
been, of the interests of the
common people of the country.
For illustration: there are upon
this free list about which we
have so much heard, such arti-
cles as ashes, Zaffer, pull, sto-
. raX, turtles, bones, acorns, bris-
ties, catgut, bird eggs, fossils,
joss-sticks, junk, bladders dried

HARTMAN ESTATE
WORTH S71,OOO,O 900
Payment of Inheritance Tax Reveals
Extent of Fortune of the Late
Railroad Magnate.

New York, July 25.-Edward H.
Hartman was worth ST., 100000
when he died on Sept. 8, 1909. Wall
street and the general public have
made estimates of the amount of the
Hartman estate that ranged from
S1OO,OOO,OOO TO twice as much, but
few of his friends believed his es-
tate would fall below SSO,00O,OOO.
The estimate given above is that
prepared by Charles A. Peabody.
president of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company, who was one Of Harri-
mans closest friends and legal adj
visers, and who since has acted as
the chief adviser of Mrs. Hartman. to
whom the financier left everything he
possessed.
Mr. Peabody, representing Mrs.
Hartman paid into the Office of Con-
troller Williamson on March 5 last
S675.O00 as his estimate of the
amount of inheritance tax TO which
the state would be entitled under the
transfer tax law. AS Hartman be-
queathed everything TO his widow
tax of / per cent. less a rebate If
paid within six months, is all the
state demands A little figuring shows
Peabody's estimate of the Hartman
estate was on March 8, s71,053,737.

Wet and Dry Factions of Demo

State Primaries.
MAY BE SERIOUS DIVISION
Nominee for Governor Opposes Pro-
Sentiment Is Anti-Liquor.

Austin, Texas, July 25.-Both the
prohibftionists and anti-prohibitionists
won a victory in Saturdays democratic
primaries in Texas. The anti-prohibi-
ton organization nominated o. B. Col
quit its candidate for governor by
probably 10000 plurality, and the pro-
hibitionists, according to the count of
the votes so far made, carried the
proposition of statewide prohibition by
a large majority.
The proposition is to make 1t obliga-
tory on the part of the legislature 20
submit to a vote of the people pro
posed constitutional amendment pro-
viding for statewide prohibition.
The state convention, which is to
meet at Galveston Aug. 10, must make
this demand part of the party plat
form.
May Have Independent Candidate.
1t is rumored Colquitt will refuse to
accept this statewide prohibition feat
ure of the platform. In that event, it
is said. the prohibition element of the
party will put out an independent can
didate for governor.
Only for the fact that there were two
prohibition candidates in the field for
governor. this faction of the party
would have also won that feature of
the contest by large majority Sena-
tor w. J. BaiIey's candidate, William
Poindexter, is the third man in the
race for governor, Cone Johnson Occu-
plying second position and running in
the lead in many parts of the state.

Scrap Took Place on Second
Avenue Last Night.

Hair-pulling, biting, scratching,
kicking and hitting, were few OF
the methods of warfare employed by
a number of parties in fight last
night which had all of the appear
ances of a free-for-all. The fight
started at Seventeenth street and
Second avenue, and the windup was
at Twentieth street and Third ave
nue., where Mayor George McCask-
rim and Detective James Brinn ap-
peared upon the scene and placed
Robert Nichot and Fred Murray I'M
der arrest. The trial of the two men
was held this afternoon at o'clock
and was before Police Magistrate G.
]. Smith. Evidence was heard from
Nichot's wife, her sister, Detective
Brinn and the two prisoners.
According to the evidence, Mrs.
Nichot, her sister, and Murray were
waiting for a car on the corner
where the fight started, when Nichot
and a companion approached them.
After a wordy argument, in which
Nichot tried to persuade his wife to
go home with him, there was some
hair-pulling but the participants
were separated before any real dam
age had been done.
Finally Get Together.
The two women and ATurray then
started up the avenue and after reach
ing Nineteenth street and Third ave
nue. were again approached by Nichot
and his companion, who were appar-
entity after Murray. When the dust
OF the battle had cleared in Spencer
square two men were under arrest.
Nichot was badly bruised around the
mouth and one of his thumbs had been
bitten by his wife. Mrs. Nichot was I'M
conscious, from blows and kicks, she
stated, that were inflicted by her hus-
band. Murray was unhurt.
After hearing different stories from
each of the participants of the fight.
Magistrate Smith fined Nichot and
Murray each So and costs and dismissed
the entire bunch after delivering lee
ture, which ought to prevent more
family quarrels, such as took place
last night.
