Lest Justice FORGET

Several months ago the fact was made public that
the firm Of John Wanamaker had defrauded the
United States government of an enormous sum OF
money by customs swindles
Holy john Wanamaker, who parades his piety
o. any and all occasions, paid one hundred thous-
and dollars to escape the consequences of this crime
The money was paid day before President
Wilson assumed office. As soon as Wilson learned
81 the transaction he ordered Atty. McReynolds to
make rigid investigation of the whole business.
As consequence, special grand jury was impan-
neled and is supposed to have been probing these
frauds now for some months. Not word of what
they have been doing discovered, or intend to do,
has been made public.
The officials connected with the CURLY re-
fuse to give any information to the public.
John Wanamaker paid one hundred thousand dol
lars to escape prosecution for long series of frauds
on the government of this country. If an ordinary
citizen committed crime, and, when discovered, Of
fered sum of money to hush it up, he would be at
once clapped into Jail.

But why need the president and

when there is plenty of material left
over from the hard times period OF
1893. After the passage of the
Wilson tariff bill. the American
manufacturers who were ''bluffing'
carried their bluff so far that
they shut up shop. some of them

just to further the gigantic bluff.
OF course. nobody was in earn
est. The manufacturers sacrificed
their business interests, and with
those interests the wages of mil
lions of employees, just in order to
bluff democracy into restoring a
protective tariff. Fortunately the
answer didn I rest with democracy.
A republican administration was
soon in power, and the Wilson bill
was put in the discard. where it
has remained until rehabilitated by
Oscar Underwood and given his
name.

THE FIGHT ON SUGAR
Free Sugar Scheme Originated by
the Federal Cane Refining
Company Of New York

In the house OF Representatives or
Thursday Congressman Fordney de-
livered a telling speech in opposi.
tion to the Democratic tariff bill
designed for the purpose of closing
factories and spreading Industrial
disaster in this country and reduc-
ing wages of American laborers. He
said:
"A bill to lower wages. to close
factories, to spread disaster abroad
in the United States and build up
commercial industries abroad
81 believe the bill will bring that
result" he continued 81 am sor-
ry to be called upon at this time
to defend the protective policy OF
the republican party. which in the
past has brought the greatest meas
ure of prosperity to the Americana
people ever enjoyed since the be
ginning of the rpublic.
What have you done for the
farmer in this country in this bill
You began with a pruning knife
and you never failed to clip the
feathers of farmer every time
his head bobbed up.
Taking up the sugar schedule
Mr.. Fordney proceeded to show how
the sugar trust would be benefited
by free raw sugar. that would close
the beet sugar mills of Michigan.
He said:
"You propose by this bill to put
sugar on the free list at the end
of three years, and at the present
time to lower the duty 25 per
cent below that now pro
vided for by law. There was not
one scintilla of evidence presented
to the committee on ways and mean
before they began fixing rates in
this bill. nor to the Hardwick sug-
ar investigating committee, except
from the sugar trust and two can
ming companies, who asked for a
lower duty on sugar.
