TARIFF AND LIVING COST
Consumers Are Forced to Pay Fully
Two Thousand Million Dollars
Yearly to Trusts.

Byron w. Holt, a recognized author.
ity on economics, estimates that the
tarif-trust tax on the people Of this
country amounts to sos per family
per year.
These figures have never been sue
cessfully challenged. If they are cor
rect they mean that the consumers
Of the United States are forced by the
tariff to pay fully two thousand mil
lion dollars per year to trusts.
In the debates in congress a some
what smaller figure is given. There
the total cost of the tariff is fixed at
about two billions Of dollars per year.
Of which the government gets a little
over $500, 600, 900.
This leaves the tariff-trust tax on
the people at the modest figure Of
$1,700, 000, 900 per year!
This Is almost twice the amount OF
the Franco-Prussian war indemnity.
They extort from the people Of the
United States every year a sum near
ly twice as great as that which was
levied on France by Germany at the
close Of a bitter and successful war.
Every dollar added to the Golfers of
the trusts is paid by an increase in
the cost of living.
The only way to abolish the trust
tax is to give Governor Wilson and
the Democratic party a commission
to- revise the tariff.

AWARD AGAINST MATTERS
$24o,ooo VERDICT IN NOTED BOY
coTT CASE.
Jury Gives Manufacturers $4,000,
Which Is TrebIed by Provision in
the Sherman Antitrust Law.

Hartford, Gonna verdict for
$4,000 and costs was awarded for
the plaintiffs, D. e. Loewe & Co., Of
Danbury, against members of the
United Hatters' Union of North Amer
lea in the United States district court
here.
Under the Sherman antitrust law,
this award will be trebled, making
the total amount $240, 900.
1t took the jury four hours to reach
the decision, most of the time being
spent in examining the expense ac-
count of the plaintiffs. The verdict is
for the full amount sought.
This already famous case has been
before the court for nine years, dur
ing which time it has gone to the
United States court of appeals twice
and once to the United States SUI
preme court. In the first Jury trial,
three years ago, the award for the
plaintiff was 1922, 900.
Steps were begun by the defense to
appeal the case again.
Suit was first brought in 1902
against 240 mmbers of the United

allegation that a conspiracy existed

WILSON Plan WISE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE THE
APOSTLE OF REFORM, NOT
OF REVOLUTION.
HE SEES INDUSTRIOUS ABUSES
Would Correct Them by Cutting off
the Vicious Tariff Favors Which
Have Built Up MonopoIies and
Trusts.

Gov. Wilson is the apostle of reform,
not of revolution.
Gov. Wilson believes that the con-
stitution of the United States has been
misconstrued and perverted, not out
grown.
Gov. Wilson is the only candidate
before the people today who at once
realizes that reforms are necessary,
and who proposes rational and consti-
tutional means for effecting these re-
forms.
There are great, there r monstrous
abuses, even in this free land.
The government Of the United
States has done many things that it
ought not to have done; and has left
undone many things which 1t should
have strained every nerve to do.
The government Of the United
States has built up bloated fortunes,
and granted to favored manufacturers
the power to tax the people; and at
the same time, the government has
failed-as every government always
fails-to keep In proper subsection the
monopolies 1t has created.
What shall be done to get rid Of
these abuses?
President Taft says in substance
that nothing much need be done, and
that whatever is done need not be
done in a hurry. Next century will
dn Ouito DC Trnli nc pnU
Mr.. Roosevelt says in substance
that everything must be done, and
that the only way to do 1t is to throw
the constitution in the scrap-heap; and
make him practical dictator of the
land, with the trusts and monopolies
as his associates and %counselors.
Gov. Wilson makes neither of these
! blunders.
Gov. Wilson says that the first
thing to be done in correcting abuses
is to cut off the favors which nourish
those abuses-the vicious tariff favors
which have built up monopolies and
trusts.
There is nothing revolutionary
duOuL LudI' nut lIOm Tie way every
trust in the land is rallying to the sup
port of either Taft or Roosevelt, you
"a e that the trust magnates think
Gov. Wilson's plan Is likely to be eff
fective.
Gov. Wilson says that competition
is a better regulator Of prices thar
a dozen government bureaus. He pro
poses to restore competition by smash
ing the illegal combinations which
have killed competition.
Again, here is nothing revoIutionar,
but listen to the way the sugar trust
and the steel trust, and the wooler
trust, and all the other trusts ar
screaming against Wilson!
Gov. Wilson knows that the genera
form OF our government needs nj
changing. The agencies of govern
ment need to be changed in spirit
They need to be taken out Of the hand
Of the interests and put in the hand
Of the people.

Gasoline Explosion Drives Captain,

New York.-The English oil
steamship Dunholm, with $4,000

at Standard Oil pier No. 8, Constable
Hook, Bayonne, with a defamation

started a fire which is estimated to
have caused more than 100000 dam

It was known that three men, a
carpenter on the steamer Dunholm
and two laborers on a pier, persisted,
while a number of other men were
reported missing. That more persons

quick rescue work by crews of fire.

The men leaped overheard and
were picked up one by one while
swimming frantically to escape the
burning oil.
Some of the men who escaped de-
clared they heard as many as sixteen
explosions on various oil barges.
Most of these explosions, they said,
were on the Dunholm.
The captain, his wife and their
three children and the other sixty
men aboard the Dunholm leaped over
board at the sound of the first explo-
sion.
The exploding gasoline was hurled
across pier No. 3, setting fire to the
Saxoleine, an oil steamship, having
on board a full cargo of oil, and to
the Norwegian bark, Concordia, with
a full cargo of case oil.
Explosions on board the Dunholm
continued for three hours, each bar

inch field gun and scattering tho oil
