PUBLICAN PARTY
Is IN DIRE PERIL

Boston, Mass, March 26-(Special.)-
THE American people are aroused to the
point of revolution. They expected a
tariff revision that would cut the cost of
living. Instead they have a measure in
the Payne-Aldrich law which has played
into the hands of the trusts. Prices have
been boosted higher. revolt is on and
the republican party is in PERIL
This decisive utterance came today from
Eugene N. Foss, erstwhie insurgent re-
publican, who, as a democratic candidate
achieved the next to impossible in hav-
ing himself elected to Congress from the
republican hotbed, the Fourteenth Massa-
chusetts district Foss has no decisions
as to the reason for his election. He does
not hesitate to say that had the voters of
his district not become tired of the ficti-
tous promises of the party managers as
to tariff reduction he would not have
had a show to be elected THE whole
thing is said Foss, in analysing the
situation, that the republican party
promised before the last election, to
revise the tariff downward. Instead.
through the Payne-Aldrich measure it
has revised the tariff upward. 1t has
made it possible for the trusts to exact
more from tne people. line cost OF living
since the passage of the Payne-Aldrich
measure has gone up. Commodities are
at the highest notch. The Taft admins
tration is being blamed The Payne-Al-
drieh measure was designed by the trusts
for their own protection. There is no
use denying it. Senator Aldrich main
tanned that the wooden schedule was the
backbone of the tariff measure. 1t was.
but in passing the bill Congress played
n w f,,+@ a. of 10
trust. Through the pernicious bill the
wooden trust is able to get raw material
here at a tremendous advantage to itself.
1t Is able to get a compensatory duty
which protects it against any foreign
manufacture"
