Should Be Consistent.

In replying to an editorial which
appeared in the Leader, the editor
of the Milwaukee Journal said:
Then what about enriching one
class at the expense of the great
majority of the nation as the Payne
Aldrich law does, and as every Re-
publican tariff has done? Not pro-
tect one class to the disadvantage
of anothery" Why that is the heart
of the Republican protection"
policy, and led to the obstruction
of that party last year.
The editor of the Journal is
evidently not aware of the fact
that there is a great difference
between a prohibitive tariff
that creates trusts and Incidental
protection which lessons the costs
to the consumers. The Leader
has been uncomprornisingly OPP
posed to the Payne-Aldrich tariff,
even when the Journal favored it.

been ruinous to the country when
ever it has been tried and resulted
in great misery and suffering in the
destruction OF industries and the
piling up of farm products to rot
in the bins. The experiences of
1898, 1857 and 1897 in this coun-
try should open the eyes of the
present generation to the fallacy of
free trade. Never in the history
of the country have the people been
more prosperous than during the
past two decades, wages higher
and a greater degree of happiness.
Yet there is uneasiness, unrest and
dissatisfaction with existing condi-
tons. The accumulation of colos-
sal fortunes and the tendency
toward moneyed aristocracy,
which by combining can dictate to
the country, has awakened the
gravest fears upon the part of those
who have and are studying the
economic questions that now con-
front the country. The curbing
of the amassing of great wealth by
the few and the equitable distribu-
ton of the wealth of the country is
the question that should receive
the attention of our best men, who
have the perspicacity to anticipate
conditions that may eventuate in
great national trouble.

Who Is d Lobbyist?

Senator Townsend of Michigan,
was peeved and took fall out of
President Wilson, who charged
that the lobby was active at Wash
ington opposing the tariff bill and
that, it was possible that an at
tempt was being made to corrupt
the senators. The tariff mix up at
the national capitol is certainly
amusing and what the outcome will
be is problematical. The president
is waltzing around with a patron
age club trying to coerce the sena-
tor to support the Underwood tar
iff bill which is full of holes and at
the same time bowling about lob
byists. Claude Speeds, the head
of the sugar refining trust, is on
the ground working for the bill
which provides for free sugar which
would close our beet sugar fac
tories and make it possible for the
sugar trust to again take advan-
tage of the consumers by increas-
ing the price and amassing an inn
mense fortune. Senator ]. Ham
Lewis, whose democracy no one
will question, in recent interview
is reported to have sensibly said,
in speaking of what constituted a
lobbyist:
To my mind, the word lobby
has achieved a distinction from the
term agent or representative. ;
hold that it is the right of any
person who may feel that his in
terests are being injured to speak
to his member of Congress or SEN
tor about it. | hold that the right
OF petition guaranteed to him by
the Constitution gives him that
privilege, and he may exercise it
either in person or through his ag-
ent or representative And he has
the right to petition either the
whole body or his particular mem
ber."

The Times Need Statesmen.

If a protective tariff is indefen-
sible, then free trade should obtain
on all importations, for it is neither
right nor just to place import dut-
les on some commodities to be paid
by one class of consumers to the
advantage of another class. Eth
er protection tariff on every thing
which comes in competition with
American products, or open our
ports wide to the trade of the world
so that there shall be no distinc-
tions, dissemination or favor. But
the tariff history of the country
teaches us that low import duties
or tariff for revenue only has

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

The State Fair is to remain at
Milwaukee with the under
standing that the businessmen
of that city give it a reasonable
support. But really, what is the
use of state fair maintained at a
large expense to the taxpayers for
the benefit of any locality? There
are a number of good county fairs
held every year in the state which
can be attended by large number
of the agricultural population who
cannot attend a state fair because
of the expense. The appropriation
for a state fair could be used to a
better advantage in helping county
and lnter-county fairs.
