HARD PUT TO DEFEND TARIFF
Presidents Attempt Unconvlnclns In
View Of the Facts Known
10 the Country.

In a recent speech President Taft
quoted the tariff plank adopted by the
Chicago convention, which said:
The true principle of protection is
best maintained by tho imposition of
such duties as will equal the differ
ence between the cost of production
at home and abroad, together with a
reasonable profit to the manu-
facturer"
Now II Is to be assumed that in
framing the new tariff the desire was
to maintain the true principle of
protection" At any rate, there was
a specific pledge to apply that prin-
ciple. And no revision that violates
It can be said to be a compliance with
the platform pledge In his speech
the president says that the reduction
of certain duties is proof of the party's
realization that the time had come
when the tariff must be lowered; that
the platform was right in its assertion
that the true measure of protection
was the difference between the two
costs of production. There was, he
says. q dispute as to what that differ
ence was, as to whether 1t was recog
nized IN all the changes that were
made.
But the real truth is that the prin-
ciple was not acted on in one single
instance. No duty was fixed with
reference 10 It. There Is probably not
one tariff tax In the new that that is
not far in excess of the difference be-
tween the cost of producing the article
here and abroad-indeed many of
these taxes are greater than the entire
labor cost of the article. A duty Of
100 per cent.-and there are many
such duties-manifestly does not rep
resent difference in cost for It is the
whole value of the article. AS mat
ter of fact, no effort was made to
learn the cost OF production abroad.
When information on this subject. OBJ
tanned In an official way, was offered
to the senate, Aldrich denounced the
action of the German government.

Taft Set Down as Failure.

One short year has brought to the
people a rude disappointment and
awakening. Possessed of charming
personal qualities, of great intellectual
ability and rare equipment of a wide
experience in affairs of state, Presi-
dent Taft has nevertheless grievously
failed TO hold the confidence Of the
masses. Despite an excellent pro-
gram in many respects he has allen
ated most OF his following by his
adoption of advisers and espousal OF
leaders who have been thoroughly dis
credited. Aldrich and Cannon wero
cordially disliked and distrusted by
Roosevelt, but Taft has chosen to
work with and through them and their
kind. to indorse them in public. and
to denouncc and rebuke in speeches
himself and through his cabinet Off
GERS the faithful band OF Insurgents
who refused TO surrender TO the re-
stored leaders.

Conditions Gall for channe.

No doubt Democrats are in closer
touch with the people and are the
more acute and sympathetic to the
popular attitude because of the fact Of
having been for a long time out of
power. No doubt. too, the extended
period during which the Republicans
have been in power has distorted
their perspective on many things and
rendered them less sensitive to the
popular temper. Their various short.
comings in the past have been fol-
lowed by so persistent a failure to
inflict penalties that they have come
to show a scarcely disguised contempt
of what is known as the collective
body of public opinion.
Such times as the present come In
the history of parties in all countries.
They have come before In our own
country. The conditions of such times
impel the voters with almost irresist-
ible force to a change in the party IN
power.

A PERFECT TOWN.

A perfect town is that in
which you see the farmer
pa ronizing the home mer-
chants, the laborers spend
ing the money they earn
with their tradesmen, and
all animated by a spirit that
will not purchase articles
abroad if they can be bought
at home. The spirit of rec
lprccity between the man
and the mechanic Uradesman
and laborer, farmer and
manufacturer, results every
time in making the town a
perfect one TO do business in.
Protection" should be de-
sired, even where aUtain-
ment is barely possible, we
presume, but a perfect town
must be denominated a
great rarity until we reach a
more advanced stage toward
millennium than has vet
been gained.

overcapltalIzatIon and High Prices.


Overcapitalizatlon is dangerous in
proportion as corporations with infla-
ted capital have power to raise
prices.
This power to raise prices comes, in
the last analysis, from laws that give
special privileges to these heavily wa
tered corporations, or trusts.
Chief of these laws is the tariff.
Manipulation Of tariff schedules limits
production, chokes off natural imports,
makes the stream of commerce flow in
artificial channels.
Danish the protection" fetch from
national economies, and trade once
more flows in normal channels
In other words, tariff should only
produce sufficient revenue for govern
ment, economically administered, and
should not be a source OF inflated divi-
dends for private corporations.
With an honest tariff, the strongest
incentive to overcapitalization would
be wanting.
