The "Chamber of Horrors"

This week the Reform Club
of New York City opened its
"Chamber of Horrors at No.
% Union Square, and the en-
tire country is invited TO take a
look at the startling exhibit.
which consists of a demonstra-
ton of the horrors of our pro-
tectivc tariff system. The result
should be the enlightening of a
great many persons who do not
seem TO realize what the pro-
tective tariff system is, and
how it operates in imposing
great loss upon the people.
The Reform Clubs exhibit in
cludes Il three-room flat, fur
nished TO meet the needs of or
dinary occupants Of such quar-
ters, each article of household
need and use labelled with the
price at which it is sold in this
country and the price AT which
it is sold in foreign markets
The result, in every instance, is
favorable to the foreign market,
foreign prices being from 10 to
go per cent. lower than home
prices.
And these are articles manu-
featured in this country. Nat
urally people have an idea they
can buy home products much
cheaper here than they are sold
for abroad. They look upon
the proximity of customers to
the place of manufacture: they
look upon the cost of railroad
transportation to the seaboard
ports and the cost of ocean
freightage across the Atlantic
Ocean and they naturally sup
pose that these freight charges
serve TO make the cost of our
domestic products higher in the
foreign market than in the
markets of this country.
w Idl rev ttdlipu W tltSf
persons to learn. by practical
comparison, article by article,
that our manufactured products
are sold in foreign markets,
after meeting the cost of trans
portation across the Atlantic
Ocean, at cheaper prices than
they are sold for in this country.
Yet this is a fact.
The protective tariff brings
about this imposition. 1t en-
ables the protected manufac-
turers to charge the people of
this country from % to 80 per
cent. more for their products
than they sell them for at a
profit in foreign markets.
The protective tariff should
go. Ii should be destroyed
root and branch. And the only
way to destroy il is by electing
a Democratic national admin
istration. The people will have
an opportunity to do this at the
election in November.

Democratic Campaign
Contributors.

The Democratic party is as
good as its word. Ii has for
many years been denouncing
secret gifts to party treasures
because they establish claims
upon the party's gratitude and
are calculated to influence the
party's action. Now it takes
the lead in voluntarily publish
ing the list of contributors to
its fund and the amount Of their
gifts.
The Democratic party has in
sisted on publicity for individ-
ual contributions and the pro-
hibition of contributions from
corporations. The Republican
party has Jagged behind. and
has reluctantly joined in enact
ing as much legislation as
seemed TO it necessary to pla.
cate public opinion. While he
was President Mr.. Roosevelt
got so far along on the way the
Democrats were blazing as TO
favor a disclosure of contribu-
tions after the election. but not
before. The Democratic party
has insisted that the voters had
a right to know before they
Went to the ballot-box what OBJ
legations the several parties had
incurred. Without compulsion.
and simply because it believes
it TO be right, the party now
publishes the names Of the per-
sons who have given the first
Sl75, 600. There are $4,000 Of
them; that makes an average Of
less than SIS each.
The largest contributions are
three of $4,000 each. five Of
$4,000 each, three of s2500 each,
one for $1,000, sixteen of $1,000
each, and so on down to Sl00
and $50, and SO many for much
smaller sums, down to ten cents,
that the committee has not been
able 10 make out the whole list
of the contributors of the small
amounts. The committee will
need a million dollars or more
from now on, and it ought to
get it. This publication ought
TO help it to get contributions,
because it shows clearly enough
that no one is getting a mort
gage on the party: no one is
laying the party under great
obligations to him. Several of
the persons who have contribu-
ted from 800 to $1,000 are
abundantly able to give very
much more, and we hope they
will do it. We have no object
ions to large contributions. and
Democrats who are worth five
10 ten millions ought to give
more than 500 or $1,000. There
is no danger in large contribu-
tions that are not given in
secret. No party will legislate
in the interest of a man or
class of men whose political
contributions are made openly.

Dirty Streets and consequences.

Dirty Streets and Consequences.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
For some time there has been a
good reason for complaint against the
dirty condition of Main street.
The merchants object to the mud
because it keeps people off the street
and to the dust because it damages
goods and causes loss of time in
cleaning.
The mud is only unsightly and in
convenient
The DUST is DANGEROUS.
There is no regard for the ordin-
ance against splitting on the side
walks. Citizens with consumption
are splitting on the walks every day
This infected, poisonous spit is mixed
with the dust The dust that is in
the spit blows in your face and up
your nose, in your lungs and in the
lungs of your children.
If man spit in your face you
would knock him down, but con-
sumptive will spit on the walk and
it will blow up in your face and you'll
tell him a funny story.
There is a great hue and cry about
hydrophobia and people get really
frightened. all the dogs are muzzled
and some healthy unfortunates are
shot. A greater danger than a few
dogs, or a far more deadly disease
than rabies, is present all the time
and YOU pay no heed.
But this is a fact. The city accepts
its responsibility as to rabies, very
rare disease, SO rare that three cases
have never been in Keokuk. 1t ac
cepts no responsibility as to a dis
ease that every year is killing thir
| teen out of every hundred who die
lAnd this is a fact, that the citizens
lof Keokuk SO long as they permit the
filthy dusty condition Of the streets
| to exist are responsible in part for
1.-THE death of these people. We have
"a responsibility. as a city, for public
health. We must awaken to it, and il
| gust dirt doesn't awaken us, disease
laden dirt should do it. But muzzles
