men who take the high-protection
viewpoint, and whose chief agents
and alleged impartial investigators"
abroad are writing back articles for
American newspapers ridiculing and
belittling the crying demand of the
consumers for the tariff revision
downward.
Mr.. Taft's message against cheaper
woolens will 60 down as document
of misrepresentation, false pretense
and excuses. The real reason the
President vetoed the various tariff
bills was not stated in any OF his
messages. 1t was because he was
under obligations to the beneficiaries
of the Payne-Aldrich law to serve
their interests instead of the public
interest. Mr.. Taft was elected
president, it should be remembered,
with a campaign fund contributed by
special privilege. Then the great
tariff trusts extended further aid land
placed Taft further in their debit by
frightening their employees into voting
for Taft with the threat that their
factories and mills would be closed
unless he was elected. And, just as
he was the candidate of special
privilege, Mr.. Taft is also a president
of special privilege.
Thus it is shown again how
protection makes politics business
proposition. The trusts contribute
campaign funds to the party of the
high protection wall with the intention
of not only recovering from the
public in excessive prices the amount
of their campaign fund investments,
but with the determination of extorting
stupendous dividends as profits. Mr..
Taft proved an exceptionally good
investment for the tariff trusts.
LET Us Alone
The trust officials who appeared
before the various investigating
committees of Congress this summer,
including G. W. Perkins, complained
because the Democrats were too
active in inquiring into their business
methods. LET us alone is their
favorite wall whenever a move is
made to determine in what manner
they are exacting tribute from the

operated with the food dopers in their
campaign to drive DR.. Harvey W.
Wiley out of public life. To this Gin
defensible" record should be added
the presidents action in framing re.

with whom we are not in the slightest
danger of ever going to war.
Mail Clerks Prosecuted.
How are the railway mail clerks t(

they are forbidden by departmental
gag rules to criticise their condition.
or disclose it to the public, or even tc
petition congress for relief? This is
query that promises to perplex the
railway mail clerks as long as Post.
master General Hitchcock remains al
the head of the service. There are
900 wooden mail cars in use. They
are run between heavy all-steel cars,
or between steel car in the rear and
the engine and tender in front. In
the event of collision or derailment
the wooden mail car is invariably
crushed like an egg shell. Yet Mr..
Hitchcock, who is outdoing the
Father of all the Russians" in his
imposition of a despotism and reign
of terror among the thousands OF
government employees over whom
his word is law, says the railroad mail
boys must make no protest. If they
do not like their conditions, they know
what to do! That is his uttimatum.
What is the Presidents defense for
refusing to permit reduction in the
cost of living? Let us see: First, he
makes the point the wool bill was
unconsidered, when, as matter of
fact, the ways and means committee
put in three months of investigation
and study before the bill was framed,
which is twice the length of time
given to the consideration of the
wooden schedule OF the Payne-Aldrich
bill, and which document the President
signed readily enough.
Second, the President asks that the
people continue to pay exhorbitant
prices for woolens until he hears from
his tariff board, which is packed with

people. "The tendency to distrust
big corporations" said Mr.. Perkins,
"is hurting business. Business
desires to 90 ahead unmolested.
The 'let us alone policy would
suit the trusts exactly. Having
gobbled every thing in sight, naturally
they resent interference. With the
tariff so high that they have a
monopoly on all the necessities of
life, and the antitrust law so
interpreted that restraint Of trade is
not restraint so long -as it is
reasonable they are safe from
competition, and immune from
prosecution. Hence, their desire to
be let alone.
In the meantime, how about
prices? Ten years ago pair OF
five-pound wooden blankets could be
bought for $4.75; to-day they cost
SIS. AT that time the price of five
yards of serge cloth, fifty inches
wide, was 1915; the price now is
1925. Ten years ago twenty yards
of unbleached cotton cloth could be
bought for $3.50; to- day the cost is
1920. Five yards of all wool flannel
could be purchased then for So rs;
the price now is $6.25. Flour sold
for $3.50 less per barrel during the
civil war than it does now.
1.-THE Richest Baby
Judson c. Welliver, one of the
very few Washington newspaper and
magazine writers who write what
they think, has an article in Hampton's
magazine this month which is of
especial interest, now that President
Taft has vetoed the cotton bill. This
article is an account of how the cotton
millionaires keep up their fat
Notwithstanding to one hundred
per cent. in some instances annually
and at the same time continue to
plead for high tariff, without which
they contend they will starve to
death. Mr.. Welliver begins his article
with a photograph Of one James
Nicholas Brown, age eleven, whose
wealth is estimated in the hundreds
of billions, every cent of which was
made out of the highly-protected
New England cotton manufacturing
industry. I'm 1908, the panic year."
Mr.. Welliver writes, "the cotton trust
calmly paid its usual fat dividends.
True, its already underpaid laber had
to suffer sharp reductions; true, the
of its products had to pay
increased prices. But that was
unimportant to the cotton millionaires.
They would have their dividends, and
they got them. They had the power
10 extort them. They could pay as
low wages and charge as high prices
IS they chose. The tariff wall held
hem secure in their domination.
Senator Lippitt predicts this country
will be plunged into the worst sort of
4 panic if the regular flow of profits

he world is shut off.

Monte Carlo Thieves.

London, February 14.-The extent
to which pickpockets carry on their
calling at Monte Carlo is shown by the
experiences OF an English woman, the
wife OF prominent member OF the
British colony in Paris. While playing
at the gaming tables in the Csaino she
found suddenly that somebody had
opened her bag and stolen her purse,
which contained several hundred dol
lars. In letter to her husband she
writes:
1T was about 5 O'Clock when they
entered my complaint and a descrip-
ton OF the purse in the ledger. re-
turned after Z O'Clock and the clerk had
to turn back three pages to find the
entry.
Surely l said, these are not all
losses that have occurred since | was
here two hours ago."
Yes, madame, they are he re-
piled. and its the same every day. ;"
The writer thinks that losses" is
scarcely the right word 10 use. She re-
lates the case OF another English wo-
mau who was robbed OF 81 600 in the
same way as herself. The victim actu-
ally caught = woman's hand in her bag
and she held on until some detectives
arrived but the thiefhad already passed
the notes To an accomplish and she was
allowed te go.
