White has in his office dozens Of
samples OF food In tins which
are heart-breaking commentary
on the greed OF those packers who
are using Seattle as a dumping
ground for their putrid products,
and who. rather than have their
ancient and rotten wares left on
their hands. are willing TO poison
the public wholesale.
All Of these tins are rusted and

DOESN'T WORK.

The frantic efforts being made
by the high tariff baronS to stir
up dissatisfaction and discomfort
among the business interests of
the country is not meeting with
much success. The Philadelphia
Record, probably the faireSt of the
Independent journals of the coun-
try, in referring to such contemp-
tible and reprehenSible tactics,
says:
Whether it be called a conSpir-
acy or not, there has been a cam
paign of defamation of the buSi-
ness conditions of the country,
conducted solely in the hope of de-
feating Democratic candidates for
congress and securing a Republi-
can House this fall. 1t is a dis
reputable campaign and a danger
Gus one. Any merchants credit
is liable to be impaired by the cir
culation of rumorS that he is en-
barraSSed. The effort is to con-
vince the country that the state of
business is very bad is directly
circulated to make it make it bad,
and that is its purpose. The pro-
tectioniSt propaganda would be
glad to see a panic. The last one
we had was when they were in
full possession of the government,
but their effrontery is equal to
charging any dullneSS of business
now on the Democratic party,
while denying that they were re-
SpOnSible for the panic of 1907.
The effort of men in congress
and of the distinctively Protec-
zionist organs to collect and repeat
and enlarge on every indication
of dullneSS of trade, and to pre-
dict worse conditions in the near
future, in a wicked and deliberate
effort to bring about a bad state
of business in the hope of making
some political gain out of it. The
banker in Fort Wayne who refus-
ed to answer the inquiries of the
Protective Tariff League and told
the League what he thought of its
efforts, was a patriotic man who
was trying to make business bet
ter, while the League is openly
trying to make it worse in the
hope of changing some votes in
November. 1t might as we'll save
its efforts. A Republican House
could not change the tariff.
