compete" There Is no such doctrine,
there never has been, and Mr.. Red
field knows 1t. He has put UP a
straw adversary in order to make a
display knocking 1t down. American
ingenuity, American enterprise and
American labor have the ability to
compete with any nation on earth, on
equal terms. They can compete on
equal terms, but they won't.
Now. Mr.. Redfeld, and President
Wilson, please take note of the Diff
ference. We have the ability but we
haven't the inclination. The Ameri-
can laborer can live on the same
wages and under the same conditions
as the European and the Aslatlc, but
he wont. And we are proud OF him.
American industries can thrive under
the same conditions as Industries in
countries OF low-Daid labor. but they
won't. We are also proud of the cap
tains OF American industry.
There r some American states
men who would like to force Ameri-
can labor to accept European and
Aslatlc standards. They tried to put
that over. and as a result we had long
bread lines and vast armies of I'M
employed in 1894. You think you
Democrats car do that again, Mr..
Redfeld, but you cant. When 1t
comes to a question of Inability"
you are up against 1t. You simply
can't put 1t over again.

Clark Balks McAdoo.

Speaker Clark has had the temer-
ity to come out in the open and OPP
pose the stamp tax advocated by Sec
rotary McAdoo, and, at his instance,
by the president as a means OF max
ing good the Democratic deficit. The
administration has urged that the
stamp tax features of the emergency
recenue act be extended, but in
view OF Mr.. Clark's opposition 1t is
hardly likely that the administration
will be able to put through that part
of its program and it is predicted in
some quarters that the stamp feature
of the recently re%-enacted emergency
tax will be repealed at this session.
Mr.. Clark has warned the admins
tration that If any effort is made to
extend the stamp taxes, which he re-
CARDS as onerous and vexatlous, he
will leave the rostrum and oppose
the legislation from the floor of the
House, and it is not believed that the
president and his son-in-law will dare
risk the public defeat in which such
opposition would undoubtedly re-
sult

The INCOME Tnx Decision.

The decision of the supreme court
that the income tax contained in the
Underwood tariff bill is entirely con-
stitutional has inspired the Demo-
cratic leaders with the belief that
they can, by an extension OF its pro-
visions, make good in large measures
the huge deficit which has resulted
from Democratic tariff legislation.
As has been pointed out the income
tax Is peculiarly popular with the
Democrats because it affords the ma
chinery whereby they are able to tax
the industry and enterprise oil the
northern states to raise revenues
which they expend with a lavish hand
in those southern states which are
notably lacking in both these ele-
ments.
Representative Hull, of Tennessee,
asserts that it will now be possible
TO raise $4,000 900 by means Of
an income tax, where only between
$4,000, 900 and $50. 900 900 was
raised before. AS the states which
compose the solid South" pay un-
der the present law, only $780, 900
out of the total of upwards of $751;
OOO, 900 income tax collected, Demo
cratic enthusiasm for an increase OF
this method of raising revenue is
not surprising.

Law Is 1, Fraud.

THE Clayton antitrust law, her
aided by the Democrats US a weapon
against unlawful combinations in re-
straint OF trade, has proved to be a
fraud"
This bitter criticism of the anti
trust law, passed by the last Demo-
cratic Congress was uttered by Rep
rescntative Halyor S~teenerson, OF
Minnesota.
For weeks ! have been endeavor-
ing to have the department of justice
and the federal trade commission fix
the responsibility for the increased
price of gasoline, which | believe is
due to an unlawful combination in
restraint of trade" said Mr.. Steiner
son.
The fact is that the provisions OF
the Clayton antitrust act have made
it practically impossible for either
the department Of justice or the fed
eral trade commission TO reach the
situation. Formerly the government
was able to prosecute any violation OF
the antitrust laws in restraint OF
trade, irrespective Of the effect on
prices, so long as there appeared to
be a combination which controlled
prices. 1t was the power to fix prices
that was condemned.
"Thc Clayton act provides for pros
ecution of substantial %lessening of
competition. The insertion Of the
word Substantial in the Clayton law,
has practically taken all the teeth
out of it. While comparatively easy
to prove the existence OF a comblna-
tlon, the Clayton law has enormously
increased the difficulty of a convic-
tion, owing to the absolutely in
definite meaning of the word Sub
stantial.'
Furthermore. the trade commits
sion law limits the Investigations OF
that commission to whether or not
there has been an unlawful combina-
ton between manufacturers and
dealers. In other words, this law
protects the big jobbers and not the
consumer.
Tine Democrats by the insertion
of this troublesome word Sub
stantiap in the Clayton act have
consolidated the whole scheme of
trust prosecution for violation of
law, and have virtually committed a
fraud upon those whom it was sup
posed to protect"

Congress Baking.

President Wilson has been making
n desperate effort to induce Congress
to speed up its Legislative program,
thus far with comparatively little
access. Mr.. Wilson can exert no
such influence over the SiXty-fourth
Congress as he did over the Sixty
third. That Congress came into eX-
istence. just after Mr.. Wilson was in
augurated and when all of the po-
litical offices, popularity known as
"pie." we're still to be distributed.
Under those circumstances no
Democratic member cared to incur
the enmity of the president by op-
posing his slightest wish. Mr.. VIII
son failed utterly to take advantage
of that situation, however. to make
friends of his party leaders. In
stead Of cultivating them and seek
ing to win their confidence and their
friendship, he treated them with a
dictatorialness little short Of con-
tempt, issuing his orders without
consulting them and eXacting explic-
it obedience to his mandates.
This was notably true in the case
of free sugar. Representative Under
wood was seriously opposed to free
sugar and the president himself had
given his solemn pledge to the Lou
isiana delegation that he would not
ask it. He did not ask 1.-THE de-
manded it. And no one dared, at
that time, to say him nay. But now
he has been compelled to ask Con
gress to repeal the free sugar provis-
ion.
Most of the presidential patronage
has been disposed of and the Demo
cratic majorities are showing them
selves about as tractable as balky
mules, while Mr.. Wilson is reaping
the results of his treatment Of the
members of his party.
