Folly of Tariff Doctrines.

The folly of the tariff doctrines for
many years enunciated by Woodrow
Wilson must be apparent to every
wage in this country. The de-
claration OF his party is as follows:
I'VE declare 1t to be fundamental
principle of the Democratic party that
the federal government under the con-
stitution has no right or power to i'm.
pose or collect tariff duties except for
the purpose Of revenue"
Under that declaration il there
should come time when other ma
tions universally adopt a protective
tariff, and it became certain that no
industry in this country could survive
without protection, our industries
would have to perish, because we
would have no right or power to pro-
tect them from competition with the
products of other countries.
Many Democratic leaders are i'm
ploring Wilson to recant his utter
ances. The Hearst newspapers are
vociferously declaring that the Demo
cratic platform does not mean what 1t
says. But Wilson, adhering with dog
ged determination to his lifelong free
trade theories, is for a revenue tariff
only, and declines to be persuaded to
abandon that idea.
What the Democratic party, there
fore, has got to do before it can win
is to explain how it is going to throw
protection to the winds and at the
same time keep American wages up to
the present standard.
The tariff and the emigration ex-
clusion acts are the bulwarks OF pro-
lection for the worlds workers. Amer
lean consuls tell US that portions Of
Europe are being enriched, and civil
lied, by aliens who come to this coun-
try, earn competence and return to
Europe. And just as the freedom of
the American workman-the influence
81 it's liberating the men and wo-
men of the world from political bond
age, the prosperity of the American
workman under tariff protection is lib
Grating the workmen of the world
from the debasing wage slavery de-
structively dominant everywhere ex-
cept in this country.
Aside from these generalizations,
Delawareans should recall local con-
ditions of only a generation ago-of
less than that ago. What, but the
tariff fostered industries Of the coun-
try, has made the state one of the
most prosperous states of the Union?
What influence is it that has turned
farms into gardens? What but the
tariff abolishes the free trade blight
Of 1926, by the lighting of furnace
fires and starting the then paralyzed
Industries of the country into life?

The TARIFF AND
THE PAY ENVELOPE
surest Way to Determine Prosperity
ls BY the Wage-Earner's Returns.

surest Way to Determine Prosperity
Is BY the Wage-Earner's Returns.
Il want to see the benefits OF the
tariff put into the pay envelope" Mr..
Roosevelt is quoted as saying on June
10.
The pay envelope more than any
thing else determines the prosperity
of the country. The buying power of
the nation is proportxned by the dol
lars and the pennies that go out in
the pay envelope.
Diminish the power of the wage
Garner to buy by decreasing the
amount OF money in the pay envelope
and you strike a blow at every mer-
camille enterprise and every industry
in the nation. Prosperity is measured
by the pay envelope.
The Democratic platform declares
that the American wage Garner shall
be denied that protection which has
kept his pay envelope from being re-
duced to the size Of that paid the
wage-earner OF England, Germany and
the coone Of Japan and China Mr..
Wilson has repeatedly declared that
he wants the products OF American
manufacturers put on the competitive
basis with foreign, cheap-mRde goods
thus, that he, too, favors the Euro
pean pay envelope with its IS and Sc
a week.
This is the question which the
American wage-earner must consider
in the approaching campaign. Does
he intend to support the party and the
men who have made it a law that the
difference between the American pay
envelope and the European pay en-
velope must be considered before all
things in drawing up tariff measures,
or does he favor the party and the can
didates who want to reduce the pay
envelope to the European standard?
Democratic free trade means less
employment, a smaller envelope and
economic disaster. Does any self-re-
specting American wage-earner desire
to vote for these conditions?
The line between the Republican
and Democratic parties, and one that
directly concerns every man, woman
and child is the tariff. The Republican
party stands for protection Of Ameri-
can workingmen and American pro-
ducers against the products Of cheap
foreign labor. The Democratic party
stands for free trade The Baltimore
platform reiterates the party's posi-
ton on that question, and the conven-
ton nominated an avowed free trader
for president There is no middle
ground. The one stands for prosperity,
the other for poverty. The one stands
for high wages and plenty of work,
the other for low wages and little
work. The one stands for the home
market for home producers, the other
for the homo market for foreign pro
ducers. The one stands for the full
dinner pail, the other for the free
soup house.

to $3.50 box Who paid that duty7
In 1871 steel rails sold for $102 a
ton, and duty of $2S ton was laid.
In 1894 the price dropped to $29.92.
Who paid that duty? In 1883 the duty
was reduced to $17 ton, and in 1898
the price fell to $1762. Who, also,
paid that duty?
An importer whom | know paid 81
for a German linen article when the
duty under the Wilson tariff was 35
per cent. Dngley put up the duty to
80 per cent, and the German exporter,
rather than lose his trade, lowered his
price to 80 cents. Who, l ask, paid
the increased duty?
! assert it to be the rule, with ex-
ceptions, of course, that the prices Of
European articles are lowered so that
the American market may be reached.
The result is that, in many cases, the
American not only pays little or no
more here than he would have to pay
In Europe, but the European actually
relieves him from a part OF his taxa
ton. The tariff, then, actually saves
money to the masses Of the American
people.
may extend this matter a little
further The duties upon steel rails
have indeed been high But, under
those duties, we have built onehalf
the railway mileage Of the world; and
whereas the average freight rate per
ton In Great Britain q about three
cents mile. in the UEged States it
is--conducted over those very rails
four-ffths Of cent a mile, or the low
est rate in existence.
In what manner, then, has high
duty upon rails hurt the American
citizen?

Our Double Role of Producer and


Let me protest against the oft-re-
peated attempt to divide the people
into separated classes OF producers
and consumers. There can be no such
division. Every man not mere tramp
is both a producer and a consumer.
The brakeman on a train, the man
who drives a cart, the clerk in the
bank, are producers. Even the idle
rich man is a producer, for his money
works, and must work, for him. Should
some tremendous cataclysm suddenly
destroy every manufacturing industry
In the great state of Pennsylvania 1t
would hurt in his pocket every hon
est man in the United States. AS the
apostle said, long ago, 1--WE are mem
bers one of another" All of us are
more or less dependent upon each Of
us.
The vital need Of our government is
assured revenue. The government is
not producer. 1t is q protector and
cherisher of the interests of the peo-
pie. The revenue must come from the
earnings of the people. 1t is an ex-
cise-something cut off from the earn
ings Of those who do produce wealth.
This taxation may be done in sew
eral ways. Great Britain, with less
than half our number of people, col
lects as much revenue as we do.
Her method Is to tax the people
directly, reaching far down into every
pocket and, meantime, letting in free,
through her custom houses, the pro-
ducts Of the industry OF other nations
Our method, which takes from the
people so cents where England takes
a dollar, is to make the levy largely
by requiring the foreign producer to
pay for license TO enter our market
for the purpose Of competing with the
domestic producer
The result is twofold. First, the tax
is taken in part indirectly from the
citizen and often without his con-
sciousness; second. the foreigner is
compelled to pay part of the tax for
the privilege of admission here.
1t is not uncommon delusion that
the customs duty is always added 10
the American price. The truth Is that
in many cases the American price,
with duty added, is no higher than the
foreign price.
Here are a few proofs OF this fact.
Congress removed the duty from
hides At once the exporters in Ar
gentina advanced the price Of hides
to the extent of the withdrawn duty.
few years ago, in response TO a pop
ular cry for "a free breakfast table"
the duty was taken on OF coffee. The
government Of Brazil instantly added
1t as an export duty. In both cases
our government surrendered revenue
which was pocketed promptly by for
eigners, and the American consumer
had no bsnsflt Of any kind.
The Mckinley tariff first imposed a
duty Of ~ cents pound on tinplate,
which was then selling for sb.A a
box. The foreign price At once dropped

Mr.. Hills friends are advocating

What the WorkIneman Gets.

The deposits in the savings banks
represent a part, and only a part, OF
the surplus, over and above the living
expenses OF the earnings of the man
who works for wages.
Under the much maligned and much
misrepresented protective tariff sys-
tenn we have procured in forty years,
from 1860 TO 1900, the following re
suits for the American worhngman:
In that time the number OF wage
earners in American mills increased
four times;
The wages paid in American mills
increased seven times;
The number of deposits in savings
banks increased ten times;
The amount of deposits in savings
banks increased sixteen times.
These remarkable facts conclusively
prove that wages are increasing and
the workingman's surplus is steadily
enlarging.
There is further and very remark
able proof OF this statement:
From 1860 to 1907 the population Of
the United States increased from
thirty-one million to eighty-six mil.
lions or two and three-fourths times.
From 1860 to 1907 the savings
banks deposits increased from $780,
100000 TO $3.5OO.OOO,Oo or twenty-four
times.
In the presence Of these notable
positively accurate figures, what be-
comes Of the contention that "the rich
are growing richer while the poor are
growing poorer"

Liquor Traffic

Under Che above head, the "Report on Edu cation of the Natives in Alaska" 1" by W. T. Lopp, chief of Alaska division, gives Douglas the following hand. out, which is not altogether true, and calls for an apology by the "editor" in foot note:
 Douglas.-The general tone of life in the Douglas village during the past year was such that the cry went up from many heart, "What chance has i Q child in Douglas to grow to be a decent man or woman?" The worst clements are mach in evidence all the time. There are so many little chil- dren. and what can be done for themG A little year-old girl excused herself for being out of school by saying, Mamma is drunk; so must take care of Albert 1 will come tomorrow if mamma is not drunk" Innocent chil- dren see their mother come home drunk, in the company of man not their father The same children see that mother suspended from rope, a suicide. A 1Syear-old daughter, for unknown motives, poisoned mother who taught her to walk the downward road of shame made it my business to have coroner's inquest held over the suicide of the poisoned woman. The matricide was tried, but she was acquitted, as the jnry considered the evidence insufficient for conviction al though the girl had made voluntary confession of her crime. The hope of bettering the moral condition of the Douglas natives will not brighten until the lsw-abiding sense of the whites is raised to higher standard.
 Because of the prevalence of so much drunkenness this past year the better class of Indians signed petition, ad- dressed to the attorney general, asking that some steps be taken to stop the liquor traffic, because the present et- forts seem to be inadequate As rule the Indians of Douglas have come to regard the government teacher as a friend, and many go to him for advice and even entrust him with financial matters. When away from drink the Indians are not bad lot. At the Treadwell mines they are considered among the best workmen and are pre- ferred to any other class of laborers.
