WANT PERMANENT
LEvEES ON RIVER
Twenty-Five Thousand Miles
VaIueIeSS Because Congress
Has Failed to Do Its Duty,
Charge.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-Delega-
tons from the Mississippi valley
states urged before the rivers and har-
bors committee OF congress Wednes-
day an appropriation to build perma-
nent levees along the Mississippi river

spokesman. in the main. favored the
Ransdell- Humphreys bill, now pend
ing. which would provide for levees to
cost $4,000. 600 Of which the states
would have to raise 2O,00O,0OO. one
Of the principal proponents of this
plan was former Rep. Catchings of
Mississippi
r. 3. oliver Of Missouri. Pres. Bush
of the Missouri Pacific railroad Col g.
Med. Townsend. president OF the Miss
isSippi river commission. and others
pleaded for early improvement of the
levees.
Mr.. Oliver asserted that $4,000
square miles of eluvial lands in the
lower Mississippi valley were a bar
rem waste because of the government S
neglect in properly protecting them
These wasted lands are equal in
extent to the territory of five states.

oliver declared This enormous
waste is directly due TO the neglect of
congress TO perform its fun duty. We
are not here begging as we were last
year when our people, driven out OF

without food. but we are here defend
ing our rights and demanding as
citizens from you as citizens who
represent us that protection we
have a right To expect for our lives
and property. IL is the duty OF con-
gress TO take up this problem and act

A Victory For Honesty.
avail Street Journal.l

Whatever view may be held regard
ing high protection and the necessity
for it in this country, it must be ad-
mitted that the Underwood tariff re-
presents in vital respect an invalua-
Bile gain for common honesty. In other
words, the duties are what they say
or ad valorem, but it is never both.
Half the "jokers" in the Payne-Ald-
rich bill and it's predecessors were
introduced by means of infiicting both
a specific and an ad valorem duty to
make the impost look less than 1t
actually was.
This is especially the case in
schedule X of the present tariff We
are lightly told that the present duties
are not more than 40 or so per cent.
but in practically every instance OF
manufactured articles, with perhaps
the single exception of carpets, the
double duty is imposed. AS the
higher duty applies to cotton, linen
Or other goods containing some wool,
it is not difficult to see the degree OF
monopoly secured for mixed fabrics.
The highest ad valorem and the high
est specific duties apply, and there are
many of those, particularly those worn
by the very poor, which have been
protected out of the country.
Honesty is the best policy, and il
that policy can be introduced into our
tariff we shall have gained something,
even if the burden of taxation is not
reduced one cent. This country, with
it's eyes wide open, was willing 10
pay heavy price for protection, in
Guiding handicap on enterprise and
ingenuity, deterioration in the quality
of thu manufactured article, the char
acter of the worker, and the moral
standard of the manufacturer to say
nothing of the sinister influence up
on the country's rulers at Washing
ton. Perhaps the protection of in
/ FAINT industries was worth such d
price, but surely the country should
not continue to pay it one moment af-
ter it can be honestly removed.

Palmer in their state convention -
their senatorial candidate, and wee
able to elect him on the force of that
appeal, it was not until late last year
that both Houses of Congress could 1a
brought to the point of submitting il
to the states. 1t has passed the House
repeatedly, but always until last yea :
to be checked in the Senate Otter
during this long series of defeats in tn .
Senate, impotence has cried out that
the Senate could continue to defy and
thwaTt public opinion. The result now
in sight is the best answer ia that cry
Before a rising tide that has swept
away so many strong and logical ar
guments, pamphlet coming just no;T
out of Salt Lake City, written by one
Samuel RUSSELL can be but a straw.
The main argument is that the Senat =,
BEING organized to represent the states
as contradistingushed from the peo-
pie, will lose its distinctive character
when the people of a state elect thei'
senators directly, instead of by legisl2-
tive proxies The pith of such an "a
gument is that the legislature of a
state, and not its citizens, constitdte
the state itself that the sovereignty oi
a state is not inherent in its Peep e
who elect the legislators, but is vested
in the Legislators by the fact of their
election; that the people of stat :,
who can elect all other state officials,
should not elect senators who, al
though accredited as the representa-
tives of states, are not to be undec-
stood as representing the people OF
their states but only the states them
selves. There is nothing in the thought
of Samuel Russell of Salt Lake to
weaken the conviction that this am
endment will be a TART of the federal
constitution within year.

Democrats Must Keep The Faith.
(Springheld Republican,

(SprlnSHetQ R0puUllCdH.t
The most notable aspect of the COM
ment on the Underwood tariff bill is
that it would consistently carry out
the pledges of the democratic party.
The bills opponents concede that
much At the start there is no trick
cry, no humbug, no breaking of faith.
1.-THE bill is the genuine downward re-
vision, according to democratic princi-
pies, in so far as it is possible to write
a general policy into tariff act.
A great many details might be
changed. Many duties might DO in
creased or lowered without sacriicin6
the essential character of the meas
ure. For the income tax alone would
cause a fiscal revolution. Free Voc:
would mean final democratic triumph
at what for generations has been the
'bloody angle" of tariff controversy
in America. In our judgment, raw SUI
gar could be left with the duty at one
cent a pound, involving a reduction o:
at least % per cent; and the Dill
would still be a satisfactory redemp-
ton of democratic pledges. These de-
tails aside, however, the democratic
party faces in this legislation a very
great crisis of political nature which
should not in the least be misunder-
stood.
: The democratic party could survive
honest mistakes in economic judgment
Hard times would not destroy it in the
future any more than in the past. It
could go down in defeat again and
AGAIN and be restored finally to power,
provided that it's blunde~S or misfor-
tunes carried no faint of political per-
fidy. The democratic party in the
present crisis, however, cannot risk
its honor 1t cannot afford in the least
to violate its pledges or to allow the
impression to become prevalent among
the people that by reason of its lack
OF conference OF us RACK Vi ulSClpllHC
or it's lack of moral character it can
never be trusted to respect its fixed
public obligations.
Another democratic tariff carrying
the label of ''perfidy and dishonor,
which President Cleveland in his great
wrath affixed to the ill-s'arred meas
ure of 1894, would doubtless break the
democratic party of today into frag-
ments! The progressive party is al
ready organized; it has representa-
tives in both house and senate, and but
one thing mole is needed for the
making of it, namely, democratic dis
ruption Democratic failure at
Washington with this tariff measure
would instantly transform the politi-
cal situation by affording the progress
ives an opportunity such as they have
not yet enjoyed of recruiting their
ranks from large dissatisfied, disguise !
elements in the ranks of the demo-
cratic party.

THE CONSUMERS LEAGUE

1t seems somewhat anomalous that
| a league of consumers should be de.
voted to improving the condition OF
producers, yet that is exactly the pur-
pose of the National Consumers
| League. This organization is founded
upon the theory that the abuses which
abound in our industrial and CONNER
cial systems, and which have such dire
e feet upon our social and moral status.
have their root in the desire to give
goods to consumers at the lowest pos
sible price. This being so, it follows
that consumers are indirectly respon-
sible for those band conditions if ther
are governed by price only in their
purchases. 1t also follows that con-
sumers are also in a position, if they
will only be unselfish and conscien-
tious in the matter, to do much to rem
edy those evil conditions, by refusing
to purchase the goods produced under
them from stores maintaining them.
1t is the object of this league -
bring about concerted action along
this particular line 1t not only pledges
its members not to buy such goods o.
trade in such PAGES, but it undertakes
to discover the facts with regard TO
them and keep their members inform
ed. One method of giving this infol-
nation is the use of the consumers la

ers of goods who maintain sanitary

also active in getting legislation for
the protection of workers, especially il
the matter of health and safety. Its ac-
tivities are many, and We shall have ar
) opportunity to get better acquainted
> with them at first hand during the con
vention.
Consumers, without regard to thei,
affiliation with this league, must az

BeggaTS on Horseback.
New York WORLDLY

The meanest of all mendicants is

are beggars who have bank accounts
There are also protected" industries
in this country living on the bounty OF
the people as truely as are these, but
rich enough to contribute corruption

We may recognize these industrial
paupers by their walls now that it 3
proposed TO reduce the tariff a lit

pretend that they are about to die.

wearied of their opportunities and ex-

long imposed upon, shall conclude 20
turn its back upon these leeches, they
want everybody to understand that

from this time forward they will be
