HIGH TARIFF USED
TO ROB THE POOR

law after law the high rates were
maintained.
The people Of all parties, how
ever, believed that the tariff would
some day be reduced to the level
maintained before the War. But
in 1889. following a low tariff
message to Congress from Presi-
dent Cleveland, William Mckinley
of Ohio, for the first time came out
boldly for high protection. The
wealth of the country rallied to
SUPPORT him. High tariff became
the Republican issue, and eventu-
ally it put Mckinley in the White
House.

Washington July % Even after
the pending tariff bill becomes a
law only one other country on
earth -Russia-will be maintaining
tariff rates higher than those of
the United States. This was the
startling statement of Chairman
Simmons of the Senate Finance
Committee, in his analysis of the
bill. II makes the Republican
charge that the Underwood-Sim-
mons bill is free trade measure
look foolish.
Said Senator Simmons. 81 cannot
understand how the authors and
champions of the Adlrich Payne
law-can denounce this bill which
after all its reductions retains an
average ad valoreum of aver 26
per cent-an average higher than
any other country in the world eX-
cept Russia and possibly one other
can claim that this is free-trade
bill, unless they mean that all the
world except Russia and ourselves
are at present on free-trade
basis"
Our whole tariff history since
the Civil War is one of legislative
trcachery and duplicity and a
shameful betrayal of the people for
the benefit of a few. The tariff
question as we know it today that
tbe Republican protection doc
trine as opposed to the Democratic C
advocacy of low tariff-did not eX-
ist until 25 years ago. Prior to
that time the tariff rates regarded
then as high but much lower than
any rates we have since known,
were conceded to be unjust and in
excusable, not only by both poll
tical parties hut by the very bene-
ficiaries of the tariff. the manufac-
turer. But the influence of the
special interests has been strong
enough in all these decades to
thwart the will Of the people until
at last the special privilege enjoyed
by the interests came to be regard,
ed as vested rights not only by
them but by a number of the peo'
pie.
An examination of tariff history
however, is sufficient to convince
that modern high tariff is an un
righteous tax never contemplated
by the legislators who first enacted
a nigh tariff bill AS war revenue
measure. Congress during the Civi
War was at its wits end to provide
funds to keep the armies in the
field. The revenues were derived
principally from emergency inter
nal revenue taxation. Manufactur
ers were required to pay taxes OF
raw material, on their finished pro
duct, and in some cases on pro
cesses of manufacture. AS recon-
pense for this taxation, Congress
authorized, prohibitive import dut
les which gave American manufac
turers the monopoly Of the Ameri
can market.
After the war the special take
on manufacturers we're abolishe
and it vas assumed that the con-
pensatory tariff would also be re
. pealed. But there the insiduou
Agislative influences entered tn
ld, and the attempt in 1869 t
reduce the duties ended in be

Too Much Hauling.

A New York report gives some
interesting facts relative to the
expense of freight in the cost of
beef. For instance, the steer
comes originally from the range
| in Colorado or Texas as a feeder
and is shipped to Kansas City.
There he is sold to some one in
western Kansas or Oklahoma
where he is pastured during the
summer. The animal is again
shipped to Kansas City where he
is bought by a feeder and ship
ped to a farm in Iowa, Missouri,
or Kansas, put on full feed and
finished. Then he is shipped to
Kansas City or some other pack
ing center and sold. The meat
is then shipped to the retail deal.
er. These several railroad trips
cost money and the expense is
each time added to the cost of
the meat in the butcher shop and
the consumer has the total freigt
bill to pay.
The stocker can be reared on
the ranges of Texas or Colorado
cheaper than it can be on the
valuable land of the corn belt
and the shipment of the steer
from the range to the corn belt
is a legitimate transaction. How
ever, we are not taking due cog
nizance of the economies neces-
sary either to supply the con-
sumer with cheap meat or to re-
suit in the greatest profit in the
feeding of cattle, when the steer
is shipped about as stated above.
Why not ship him directly from
the range to the farm on which
he is to be fed and finished?.
We have heightened to a rid
iculous extent the route between
the producer and consumer and
it is the shortening of this route
that will have the greatest and
most immediate effect on lower
prices to the consumer and in.
creased profit to the Legitimate

Corn. Root Worm.


one of the chief enemies of the
corn plant and the corn planter
in the corn country of the west
the corn root louise. We now
speak of another enemy, probab-
ly on the whole doing as much
damage, but usually more easily
controlled. 1t is known to the
scientists as Diabroticus Longi-
cornus, but to the farmers as the
corn root worm.
You may have noticed in your
corn field in the fall of the year
a beetle living on the silk, and
when the silk is dry you may
have found it living on the pol
len of the goldenrod. That
beetle is the mother of the corn
root worm. The eggs are laid
around the roots of the corn. The
next year they hatch out into
long, slender larvae, which live
on the root, thus weakening it.
Perhaps the first thing the farm
er knows about it or suspects any
trouble is that some of his corn
sometimes a hill, sometimes a
stalk in a hill-does not seem to
be doing we'll. 1t seems to be off
in some way. Other hills grow
luxuriantly, or perhaps other
stalks in the same hill; but some
thing seems to be the matter
with this particular stalk or hill.
1t may bear an ear, or may not.
1t generally does; but the ear is
shorter and smaller in circumfer-
ence and in every way. When
fall comes, it dies, not naturally
(the tassel first, then the lower
leaves, then the upper ones), but
dies all over like the little dog
whose name was Rover" If a
wind comes, this stalk falls down,
while the rest stand.
Then you begin to wonder
what is the matter with it. You
pull it up, and find that its roots
are eaten off on one side. The
stalk evidently died because 1t
was starved through lack OF
roots. After the worm has done
all the damage it can, it goes
through the regular insect trans
formation, and appears as a
beetle, lives on the silk instead
of the root, mates, lays eggs and
dies.
What is the farmer to do about
it? He can not do much that
season. Thorough cultivation OF
the corn ground before planting
such as we have
for the corn root
no doubt help a
great deal. Anything which dis
turbs the noxious insects in the
ground and leaves them exposed
to the birds ~(thOse best friends
the farmer ever had or ever will
have), or blowing deep after sur
face cultivation, so as to bury
them so deep that they can not
get out-that would help.
The main prevention, however,
Is changing the crop. Inc corn
root worm and the corn root louise
are scourges that whip the farm
er and compel him to follow
rotation of crops. The farmer
s not likely to do the right thing
until he is forced into it. Not
that he is worse than other peo-
ole, but this is human nature
We don't do the thing We ought
to do for our own good until We
have to do il, and then We won
der Why We did not do It before

amount of damage from the corn
