The Good Old Republican
Way

The Home Market Club, an
organization of protected profit
eers, is asking Congress to raise
war revenue by increasing tariff
duties to the height they were
in the Payne.Aldrich law of
blessed memory. The Home
Market Club has, in years past,
tried to make the people believe
that the foreigner pays our
tariff taxes. So it is to be pre-
sumed that it believes that alb
surdity itself, But if the for
eigner pays the tax, then to levy
a tariff for war revenue would
be to shift our share of the wars
expenses upon the people of
allied nations who have already
a heavy enough burden of their
own, since it is from these ma
tions that most of our imports
are now coming. Is that a
proper way to treat camrades in
arms?
When the representative of
the Home Market Club appeared
before the Committee on Ways
and Means, Congressman Moore,
of Philadelphia, facetiously
asked him if he was not asham-
ed to admit himself a protec-
zionist, Considering his belief
concerning the incidence of that
form Of taxation the question
should have been asked seri-
ously.
Can Adolph get this through
his hide?

The vessel destroyed was said to
have been the former Russian steam
