peHSe OF CLe peOple'
Democrats fought every inch
of the way when the Infamous
Fordney-McCumber bill was
before Congress. Be it said to
their credit that the bill became
law only after their bitter pro-
test.
Should the fall elections again
place a majority in the hands of
the Democrats, with a Demo
crat in the White House, the
tariff will be one Of the first
things to receive their attention,
and a quick repeal of the pres
ent law may be expected.

/ ariff Monstrosities

Attention was called few
days ago to the tariff mon
strosities" by a writer in the
New York World. who wonder
ed why the daily papers of the
country seemed so indifferent on
this subject.
Regarding the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff law, this writer
said in part
1t has enriched handful of
profiteering manufacturing syn
dicates and has added about
$500 per annum to the living-ex-
pense bill of each American
family. Every protected indus
try IS reaping untold millions.
The entire tariff is a monstrosity,
and although the writer has been
a lifelong Republican, he pre-
diets, with thousands Of others.
that it means the inevitable de-
struction of the hopes of every
Republican, and it deserves to
become the prime factor in teach
ing those in authority that they
cannot play with the destiny of
their constituents without paying
the price. They have allowed the

years, bat just retribution will

voters of the country shall show
they are through with their
masters and will replace them
with their Democratic opponents,
who will be welcomed as saviors
OF the masses for perhaps no 9th
er reason than they will return
to the old Underwood tariff,
which has the redeeming feature
of the protective tariff Chat is,

this country and yet not the
hundreds of malicious evils COM
prising the present so-called
Fordney tariff act,
This Republican writer is one
among many of his party who
has grown disguised with the
so-called protective tariff and
the fall election will no doubt
give their exact number.
The press has discussed the
tariff, time and time again. SC

1t is not easy to define the
many and complicated ways by
which the tariff interferes with
and burdens the common people
OF the country. But the big,
prominent fact is that the amount
Of duty charged on manufactur-
ed goods imported is a bonus for
American manufacturers, and
the American consumer paws it.
The claim that the gift so arrang-
ed for protected industries was
passed along to the workers has
been disproved convincingly.
The workman's part of the tar
iff bonus is so small that it is
quickly dissipated when the work
man turns to buy manufactured
goods. The plan and its results
are becoming better known now;
and even Republicans, as indicat-
ed in the letter to The World,
are wearying of the demands
made to protect" industries that
need no such assistance at the ex-

HORSE
They're building livery stables
in New York City. The horse is
coming back. increasingly being
used instead of motor trucks. This
is a result Of traffic congestion,
moving slowly and halted a con
siderable part Of the time at stree5
intersections while traffic flows
the other way. Then, too, there's
delay standing in line waiting for
turn to unload cargo.
A wagon and team of horses rep
resents less investment than a
truck, some experts claim. They
say it costs six cents a minute
when truck stands idle in the
street, compared with three cents
for horsedrawn vehicle. Three
fourths of New York's freight is
now handled by horses.

Helped Him Keep Well

81 said a lot in praise OF Tanlac
some six years ago, but not half
enough, in view of what it did for
me- is the high tribute paid the
famous medicine, few days ago,
by Hon. Archie r. Anderson, ex-
sheriff of Harris county, Texas,
who resides at 1906 Austin ST.,
Houston.
Mr.. Anderson is unquestionablv
one of the best Known and most
popular men that ever held public
office in the "Lone STAR state.
After serving as deputy sheriff of
Harris county for ~ years, Mr..
Anderson was elected chief of
police of the. City of Houston. He
had occupied this office but a short
time when the sheriff of Harris
county died and Mr.. Anderson was
then appointed by the Commission
RS Court to serve out the unex-
pired term of sheriff. He was hon
ored with reelection as sheriff
seven different times and served
the people in this important office
Is consecutive years. Ill
In 1912 Mr.. Anderson declined
reelection and retired to private
life. He cast his lot among the
people of Houston and is large
property owner and foremost citi-
zen of this city. Speaking further.
of his experience with Tanlac, Mr..
Anderson said:
"Before taking Tanlac was all
rundown and had no appetite. l.
had the worst form of Indigestion
and could not eat fried foods or
pastries at all. / suffered all the
worst sort of neuralgia pains and
seemed to help me only in
a temporary way, until l took

The treacherous nature of foot

shown by its recurrence in localities
even after several weeks have elaps-
