JNMASKING The
TARIFF DELUSION
Franklin Pierce Shows That La
Dor Is Not Benefited by
Unjust Tax.
MANUFACTURER KEEPS PROFIT
Proof Of Democratic Platforms sounc
ness Cited In Reports of Wage In
NestlaatIons.
BY FRANKLIN PIERCE.

For hundred years of our history
the manufacturers, believing that they
received a benefit from the protective
tariffs, have ingeniously devised plaus-
ible pretexts for imposing increased
prices upon the necessaries OF life. At
first they said that industry in our
country was in its infancy and needed
protection. When those industries had
become strong and needed no aid the
manufacturers invented the theory
that the foreigner paid the duty. This
theory was exploded. and they declar-
ed that cheap clothing meant cheap
men and was not a blessing.
Driven from every one Of these indie
fensible positions. their final and only
argument left today is that the tariff

Wilson's "Retort Courteous"

The next night Governor Wilson
made this reply before the great au-
dience that greeted him in Kansas
City:
81 understand from the newspaper
reports that Mr.. Roosevelt was dis
tressed by my suggestion the other day
that the United States Steel corpora
ton was back of his plan for control
ling the trusts He interpreted my re-
mark to mean that they we're support
ing him with their money. was not
thinking about money.
IT do not know whether they are
supporting him with their money or
not. 1t does not make any difference.
What meant was that they are sup
porting him with their thought, and
their thought Is not our thought.
meant, and say again, that the kind
Of control which he proposes is the
kind Of control that the United States
Steel corporation wants.
81 am perfectly willing to admit that
they think It Is the best for the coun-
try. My point is that this Is a method
conceived from the point Of view Of the
very men who are to be controlled and
that that is Just the wrong point of
view from which to conceive it.
"If Mr.. Roosevelt is willing to have
Mr.. Perkins suggest how the corpora
lions ought to be regulated why will
he not be willing to take suggestions
from the same quarters as to the de-
tails of the regulation? Mark you, la
dies and gentlemen, l am not discuss

thing except his judgment. He does

Testimony Of the Blind.

Before the trial was half ended Il
was apparent that most credence was
placed in the testimony for the de-
PENDANT.
That is because he has two blind
men testifying for him." said a man
who has served on many iuries.
When it comes to question Of mem.
DRY the word of a blind man goes
further in a courtroom than that of a
person with good eyes. 1t is with the
jurymen that his testimony really
counts, but the Judge and lawyers are
also impressed. This is taking into
consideration, of course, that the blind
man has a reputation for veracity.
We assume that with the loss of one
faculty others have developed. What
a man cannot see he hears, and his
mind stores up. Our faith in the re-,
tentiveness of blind mans memory
has been frequently justified. Where
a person with all his senses would be-
come confused and testify vaguely,
the blind man can repeat converse,
ton verbatim"

every day IN forms that cannot qu6s-
ton. 1t is a very interesting circum-
stance that the United States Steel
corporation is behind the third party
program with regard to the regulation
Of the trusts.
"Now, | do not say that to prejudice
you. l am perfectly ready to admit
that the officers Of that corporation
may think that the third party is the
best thing for the United States. That
is not my point. My point is that these
gentlemen have grown up in the at
mosphere of the things they them
selves have created and that the laws
of the United States so far have at
tempted to destroy the things that
they have created and that they now
want a government which will perpet-
uate the things they have created.
you therefore have to choose now
government such as the United States
Steel corporation thinks the United
States ought to have or a government
such as we used to have before these
gentlemen succeeded in setting up pri-
vate monopoly"
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1912-10-31

There should be an immediate revi-
sion of the tariff downward. 1t should
begin with the schedules most obvious
ly used to kill competition and raise
prices in the United States, and should
be extended to every item which af-
fords opportunity for monopoly and
special advantage until special favors
shall have been absolutely withdrawn
and our laws of taxation transformed
from a system Of governmental pat
ronage into system Of Just and rea-
sonable charges which shall fall where
they will create the least burden.

BY IDA Hustled HARPER.


The Progressive party had its first
opportunity to show it's loyalty to the
woman suffrage plank in its platform
when the vote was taken in Ohio on
new constitution. Forty-two amend
ments were on the ballot, and all were
adopted except the one for woman
suffrage!
Ohio Is one of the banner" Progress
.sive states, and Mr.. Roosevelt expects
to secure its electoral vote. In order
to do this a plurality Of the electors
must be Progressives, and they could
therefore have easily carried the suf-
frage amendment If all the others had
voted against it, as the vote on the
constitution was very light, only
few hundred thousand out of more
than million who we're eligible. Did
he issue any orders to this effect? Did
he say to his followers: Nov, here is
our first chance to show the women
that we mean business. OF course II
we win in November we will give the
franchise to all In the United States,
but just now we can make good by
giving it to those in Ohio, so let every
Progressive vote for the woman suf
frage amendment" Did he do this?
On the contrary, he completely ig.
inored the matter although he passed
through Ohio the very day Of the cleo.
ton.
A few days before, at St. Johnsbury,
Vt, Mr.. Roosevelt had devoted large
part of his speech to showing how
strongly he believed in the ballot for
women and how anxious he was for
them to get 1t. The question was not
an issue there or likely to be, but it
was a vital issue In Ohio, to be settled
in four DAYS and yet not by spoken or
written word did he show to the PEG,
pie of Ohio that he knew of its ex.
istence.

THE certain and significant thing is
that it will be known as a Republican
and high tariff panic. Protest as Re
publicans may, they will be held re
sponsible. out of their own mouths
the Republican party and the Dingley
ties will stand condemned. They fixet
in 1896 the standard by which they
cannot escape being judged In the
party platform of that year they re
fered to the panic of 1898, and the
hard times following, squarely tc
charge up the entire accountability tt
the party in control OF the nationa
government, and tie political infer
ence was stated with merciless logic:
Every consideration of public
safety and individual interest de
mands that the government be res
cued from the hands of those who
have shown themselves incapable OF
conducting it.
Now, what are the Republicans go
ing to do when the Democrats hand
them back their poisoned chalice!
A great emergency has come
and the high tariff is seen to be of nc
avail whatever. 1t was to keep US all
right and prosperous"
Because the country has just got
