Tariff Duties Not Paid by Users
of American Goods.
HIS ADDRESS SH]U-D Be READ
Workers Will Recognize His Distortion
of Figures and Facts and Will Not
Be BeguiIed by lt-Shows How
Hard Pushed the Democrats Are
For Al Argument.

1t Is to be hoped that every Ameri-
can worker in the various industries
protected by the tariff will read the
address of Mr.. Underwood, Democrat
ic leader in the house Of representa-
tives, in which he sets forth as taxa
ton the tariff duties on articles in
ordinary use. There is nothing novel
In the Underwood distortion of tariff
figures and facts. 1t is as ~threadbare
as free trade, as t~hreadbare as the
American workingman would soon be
If he should allow himself to be beguil-
ed by Underwood and other votaries
of the late Confederate constitution
into the surrender of Republican pro-
lection.
1t is true, as Underwood says, that
the tariff taxes he describes are Inn
posed on articles such as he describes
-woolen clothing, shoes, the tin pail,
window pane, carpet, etc, but he Is
wholly and deliberately wrong and
misleading when he a y hat the du-
ties In question are imposed IN or adj
ded to the cost of these articles, as
used in the ordinary American family.
The tariff tax is imposed on goods
manufactured abroad and imported for
sale in competition with goods made in
America by American workers earning
American wages.
The man or woman who Is satisfied
with the product Of American labor
and nine-tenths of the American people
are SO satisied-has no tariff tax to
pay, and this Is shown by the fact that
the American article, with it's manu-
facture fostered by protection, is often
cheaper in price than the imported
would be without paying tariff duties.
The tariff duties prevent excessive
imports, which would flood the mar
kets, as imported goods flooded the
market under the tariff reductions
made by the Democratic Wilson bill OF
1894, reducing not only the tariff, but
reducing also the demand for Ameri-
can goods and for American labor to
make American goods.
Mr.. Underwood's statement is cheap
claptrap. We had supposed that style
of talk too muddy and cobwebbed for
further e .rcise. and the fact that it is

FAIRNESS TOWARD NEGROES

Taft's Attorney General otan6o for tho

Attorney General Wickersham r.
fleets the broad American spirit Of
himself and his chief, President TAFT.
In his splendid fight against the
dropping from membership In the
American Bar association Of his able
colored assistant. William H. Lewis,
1t is needless to say that every sup
porter of Woodrow Wilson and every
sympathizer with Theodore Roosevelt
in his refusal to recognize the citisen-
ship of the southern negro, IL opposed
to Mr.. Wickersham In his battle for,
equal rights and fair treatment for
colored Americans.
The action of the executive commit
tee of the Bar association In revok-,
ing the election of three colored mem-
bers, gentlemen of spotless profession
al standing and excellent personal
character, by their local committees,
was outrageously, cruelty unjust and
ought to be repudiated by every
reputable lawyer in the United States.
1t was a concession to that southern
Democratic prejudice which seeks to-
crush the spirit Of manly aspiration
In the negro's breast and to tolerate
him only as a laborer on the planta-
tons and for the households where HE
ancestors we're slaves. It amounts to,
an attempt to nullify the constitution,
of the United States. as amended after
the rebellion, by men whose sacred
obligation and welcome duty It should
be to support that instrument In their
every act as lawyers and as citizens.
In their ~resolute backing Of Assist
ant Attorney General Lewis against
the assaults of rank Bourbonism and
racial prejudice, President Taft and
his attorney general have the god
speed of every American who believes
in the principles for which Lincoln
died, and who is determined that the
sacrifices which the nation offered up
on the altar Of freedom and equal
rights for all shall not have been made
In vain.
