{ Now Pleases Better Than.
Democratic Starvation. g
The exploitation by the Democratic
national committee OF their Chamber
or Horrors strikes the Republican
leaders as the greatest help that could
come to Mr.. Taft and the Republican
candidates for Congress. There could
be no better arguments for a protec-
tive tariff and protection candidates
than an exhibition OF the typical
American home. All over this pro-
tected. prosperous country are the
homes and fats OF well-paid American
workmen-homes with carpets on the
floors, with paper on the walls cover
ed with pictures, with good. substan-
tial tables and chairs, with brass or
iron bedsteads and comfortable mat
tresses and bedding, with bureaus and
washstands. china closets, kitchens
well stocked with utensils, besides
these and many other necessary ar
ticles, sewing machines. and pianos
or talking machines. This is the typi-
cal American home found throughout
the country on our farms and in the
big manufacturing cities owned or
partly owned by our working classes.
The Republican national committee
rejoices in such an exhibit. even
though each article bears mlslead-
ing tag, stating that each bears so
much of taxation for the fact win re-
main that the American laborer has
the home and It's contents and can af-
ford to pay for them no matter how
much they may be taxed, while IL a
typical free trade home were exhibit
ed many, II not all. of these articles
would be missing from It, We would
not find Brussels carpets on the floor,
we would not find the beautiful pic
lures on the walls. we would not find
the substantial furniture in, the par
lors, dining rooms and bed rooms; In
fact, we would find in the free trade
home that one room would have 10
answer for the entire home. We
would find, perhaps, scattered around
or the bare floor, pallets of straw or
mattresses Of cotton; we would find
no articles of recreation or amuse-
ment and pleasure such as we find in
the American home.
Furthermore, as regards the tax
cards, they VIII not in every case. nor
in many cases tell the truth, because
the typical American home is not full
of the products of foreign lands, i'm
ported and upon which duties have
been paid, but with the production OF
2tlie American workingrnen in compe-
titlon with each other bringing the.
price of the product down to the low
est possible point consistent with the
high wage which is necessary and
reasonable profit for the manufacture
er. When We find a bedstead, for in
stance, with label on II taxed so
per cent" we should like to know what
that means. so per cent OF what, for
the price of the bedstead may be just
as low, IL not lower. In this country
