WALTER DREW PUTS UP THE MONEY

While the evidence against the structural iron
workers on trial in indianapolis seems to be very
strongly against the defendants some testimony has
been offered which compels us to question the in
tegrity of the prosecutors.

went over the books and papers Of the structural
iron workers union which were confscated by the
government, that his salary for seven months
work was guaranteed and paid by Walter Drew,

ton Freeman further testified that he retained
by County Prosecutor Baker Of Indianapolis, but
was told that Drew would pay him.
The National Erectors association will never be
satisfied with the conviction alone of the forty six
men trial. Its purpose is to completely
crush the structural iron workers. union. Its repre-
sentative Mr. Drew had full access all the books
papers and letters confscated by the government.

such material would incriminate the defendants,

If the government expects to free itself from the

THE DRINKING CUP.

u AN official order, issued by
4 Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Veagh. the ban is put on the COM
mon cup, generally in use on railroad
cars, ships and other conveyances.
The secretary's order affects only
those carriers operating in Interstate
commerce. but as rs states already
have passed laws governing tho
drinking cup sll carriers are now
or soon will be-obliged to respect
this restriction. i
: While the campaign for sterilization
and the running down Of germs may
easily be carried to g. ridiculous ex-
treme, most persons will favor, the
passing of the drinking cup. Espe-
cially is this true in railway coaches
occupied by all sorts Of Travellers
Few railroads are as careful about
cleanliness as they should be-. Wheth-
er the drinking cup carries disease
or not, it is not clean.
But some carriers have way OF
evading the law. Many travellers do
not possess a private drinking cup.
Before the order went into effect the
drinking cup used to be In evidence
In some states, but when the train
passed into another state where the
cup was forbidden it disappeared.
Not for long, however, for the porter

A little quiet search even when the
porter Is not available will reveal the

the travellers concern. American

OAP1TALIZING THE TARIFF.

MANY PEOPLE do not realize that
AVA the consumer pays. not only
the tariff tax on an imported article,
but also a dividend on to the seller.
The tax ia figured in as a part Of the
cost Of the article, and it is on that
total costincludig the tax-that the
profit il figured. Probably there are
some large houses that pay a half
million in duties each year. OF course.
these are ultimately paid by the men
and women who buy the goods. But
the seller. not only gets the duty back,
but the usual commercial profit there
on; and this runs into hundreds of
millions each year, all Of which comes
out Of the people. We are not argu-
Ing as to the fairness or unfairness
of this practice. but only trying to
show how the system works against
the consumer, and also how many
men. who are not thought Of as bene-
fitting from the tariff, do, nevertheless,
make vast profits out Of it.
It is important that the people
should realize how heavily they are
taxed without being aware Of 1t. A.
we have said, they pay not only the
duties, but enough additional to en-
able the large dealer in imported COM
modities to win profit on the very
taxes paid by the people. And, Of
course, the effect Of the tariff is to
lift the prices Of domestic commodi-
ties to the level Of the foreign goods
plus tho duty. It is not a mere ques-
ton with the dealer OF getting the tax
back, but Of making money on it as
practically a part OF his capital.
