1 idan. Bellefonte, Pa., September 30, 1910. EE ———— What the Tariff Costs the People Every Man, Woman and Child Pays Tri- bute to Greed. [Senator Rayner, of Maryiaud, lu the Baltimore Sun. | The government collects about) $300,000.000 a year from tariff duties. Even intelligent persons who have not | had the time to study the question | think that this system, therefore, costs | their countrymen about $30,000,000 a | year. In other words, ther: seems tC’ be an impression abroad that if you add $300,000,000 a year to the cost of | prices of our importations, you would | about reach the sum total of the ini- | quity that this protective system per- | petrates upon the people. Let me say that this is a mere trifle in compari son with the actual amount that it costs the consumers of the United States. Every protective duiy raises the of every article that is protected the American consumer. Everything that is purchased upon which there Is tective duty is by virtue of pro- tection enhanced to the purchaser. Ev clerk who stanas Lehind every counter, every merchant who sells a yard or a pound of goods, evely sales- man who sells his wares to the city and coun stores, upon which there is a protective duty, is an involuntary tax collector, and not one dollar of this enormous tribute goes into the treasury of the United States. Just let us grasp this proposition | and thorou Bly comprehend it. Take! any one 0 e 4 articles in the schedules that are protected, and you will find an article increased in price by reason of protection. As this propo! on was rung into the senate cham. Republican majority at sul- | lenly by hout even_a plausible whys ted. | tempt at refutation. Because | the proposition cannot be refu i Now. what tribute do people | ? To everyone who will plunge | to the tariff schedules and then place | ngside of them the table of manu- factures from the census bureau, the inquiry can be answered with almost | mathematical precision. If by a 8S | tive tariff we are raising $300,000, | a year, then the people of the United States, by the process and methods 1 have explained, will pay | more than two thousand million do lars a year every year so long as the law stands upon the statute books. This two thousand million dollars a year in increased prices ¢ to those who uce and sell protected goods. And this is the consummation after yours of patient and submissive en- urance. e American people were promised relief from and exactions of monopoly. The party that had promised relief was the party that imposed the burden. It contracted to take off the ling yoke. Its can- didate for president confirmed and ratified, re and reiterated the promise. It was reverberated from every Republican Jistorn. It was her- alded and proclaimed through every revolting Republican state of the Yi sissibpl valley d elsewhere. he peop Credulously confided in the promises and gave the Re blican party another lease of power. The blican party has proved recreant tc ts trust end false to its duty. e extortions A New Democratic Leader. [From the St. Louls Post-Dispatch.] It is a good sign for Democracy when New Jersey on a sound progres sive platform nominates for governor a man with the character, capacity, at- tainments and principles of President Wilson, of Princeton University. Per haps no other man in public life more thoroughly and conspicuously repre- sents the antithesis of Rooseveltism or opposes more vigorously the,undemo- cratic phases of the New Nationalism, Dr. Wilson believes in constitutional government. He believes In preserv- ing the constitutional rights and exer- clsing the constitutional functions of the states. He believes in a govern. ment of law. He does not believe it necessary for the control of corpora tions to overthrow all constitutional safeguards and set up a powerful cen: tral government with a dictator at its head. He believes that corporations as creatures of law can be controlled by law. He believes that when cor porations commit crimes the men who direct them are guilty ana should be punished. Tener Must Speak Up. [From Philadelphia Public Ledger.] It is nearly time fcr Mr. Tener to get into the campaign, with something more pleasant than platitudes, if he would not be overlooked in the storm and stress of current politics. In his first speech of acceptance he prom {sed to say something at a later pe riod. Thus far he has been repeating the same speech, which relates wholly to the proud record of the party and the excellence of Governor Stuart's ad ministration. This is very well as far as it goes; but Governor Stuart is not the present candidate, and even the state policies which he has represent ed are not so complete and fixed as tc make his successors attitude upon them unimportant. Certainly a Promising Sign. There is another promising sign, Demccratically: The country is hear. ing less about the Macks, the Mur- phys, the Taggarts and the Roger Sul livans, and more about the Gaynors, the Harmons, the Marshalls, the Bald and the Wilsons.—Washington Herald. . : Speaking of poll taxes, as Kipling would say, “Pay, Pay, Pay.” KEYSTONERS FORCING EISENBROWN OFF TICKET His Fidelity to Principles of Democ racy Offensive to the Party Wreckers. | Efforts to induce ex-Magistrate Wil lam Eisenbrown tv withdraw as the William Penn Party nominee against State Senator Ernest L. Tus’in for the latter's seat in Harrisburg, are being made by a faction of the Keystone Party, angered by Mr. Eisenbrown’s coming out, at the recent meeting of | the Democratic club, of Walnut street, near Broad, in ardent support of Sen: ator Webster Grim as the Democratic nominee for governor. i When Mr. Eisenbrown heard of this ne said that he certainly would not withdraw, as he had entered the run ping in good faith, to gratify many, frends who had pressed the nomina- tion upon him. } To the Democratic club Mr. Eisen: | brown had said, as he repeats, Peat | although he was independent in 1 i politics, he was alyars a Democrat in national affairs. “It ls only right that! Democrats should be loyal to Senator Grim,” he said, “as that candidate for governor, during eight years in the | state senate, fought the fight. | was always on the fring line and | never flinched from his duty to the, ple.” To those who told him of the ¥stotie move to crowd him off the ticket, he sald that this was no time! for him to think of getting out of the fight. Had he intended to withdraw, he would have done so in time for any substitution on the ticket. “I: have not asked to withdraw,” he | added, “and it is my purpose to make the fight for the senate seat.” i It is Supposed that the Eisenbrowns stand for Grim against the guberna torial candidate of the Keystoners will strengthen the ex-magistrate among the Democrats. Eisenbrown| has stirred up a split In the indepen. | dent organization, which goes alter nately by the name of the William Penn and the Keystone party, although the Jreat zations of the two parties in West Philadelphia are not entirely identical. The Ke ne county committee rior to the declaration for Grim by senbrown, adopted a resolution plac ing all the genuine Penn nominees for | the state legislature, including Eisen brown, on the Keystone party ticket. “THE COMING CAESAR?” Study of Our Affairs From the Capital City of Mexico. [From the Mexican Herald.] Colonel Roosevelt, whose ambition turns his face once more in the direc tion of the White House, aims at be coming the chief of a party populistic, progressive and powerful, which will trustfully follow kim and bestow upon him at least eight years more of presi dential power, & power practically un curbed. President Taft has been only in of: fice eighteen months, and aiready be hears the thunder of the hoofs of the steed of destiny which is bearing the rough-riding Caesar to his goal. Au audacity, is what win: for the Napoleons and turning over the les Sons of etary De i patie ungle. Theodore Roosevelt e champion of the ulace against the pl hold almost unlim- ited power h the mandate ol the masses. Similarly did Jullus Caesar, another many-sided man, plot out his career, in Gaul, at thehead of his legions under rain, swimming its rivers or riding on horseback among the litters in which his secretaries were borne, and dictating four or six letters at a time; tating Rome the remotest of Belgium; even as ticians and heads of fac tions speculated on what Roosevelt was pondering in Africa. Placating the Insurgents. [From the New York Times.] To say that the letter of President Taft's secretary to an unnamed “regu lar” Republican is ill-judged would be to pass it by with too little censure It is a bad letter, and ought never tc have been written. The things of whick it treats, if done, should not be talk ed about, but they ought never tc have been done at all. It is bumiliat ing for the people of the country tc hear their president confess that he withheld patronage from insurgen! Republican senators and representa tives because they opposed legislative measures he favored, and that now having encountered a popular defeal in pursuing that pclicy he resolves tc apportion appointments withont dis crimination between the regulars and the insurgents. It is something morc than humiliating to hear this avowa of such a grass misuse of the appoint ing power. It seems to take us back to the old days when the practices in cident to the spolls system were un concealed and unrebuked It is not, in law or in morals, per mitted to the president of the United States to seek to influence legislation through the power of appointment The Republicans are greatly dis tressed over the small registration ir Philadelphia, and they have reason tc be. The Democrats in the city have been unusually alert and the inde pendents active, yet the registration fs 100,000 short of the normal. Cf course that means a vast falling off of the legitimate Republican vote, and as the opposition to the machine in all par ties intend to watch the vote closely the opportunity for repeating and im personating wiil be materially cul down. The chances are therefore that the Republicar majority in the state will be, comparatively speaking meager and the reform wave from uj the state will overwhelm it Foolishly Working Overtime. {From the Washington Post.] Republicans seem awfully busy try ing to make out that Maine jsn't muck of s& political ground hog, anyhow, Colonel Roosevelt has handed dowr two decisions, reversing the United States supreme court—Ohic State Journal. Henry Watterson’s Idea of impending Political Conditions. {From the It does look as though the grand cld party “is up against it.” if Theodore Roosevelt be not a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1912, there is nothing in outer signs and tokens. That he is a practical poli tician of the first order allowed; to his circumstan divine. The evil conditions which the colonel excoriates have sprung up un- der the hand and rule of the Republi can party. Every word he utters is an arraignment of that party. The more salient of the abuses which draw his fire have come into being within the life of the present Republican admif- istration. There can be no escape for the Republicans short of setting Taft aside and of placing Roosevelt again in command. In short and fine, we do not believe he can catch the Republi can ferry boat, even with two jumps, but if he should, it is our opinion that he and those who rally about him with such unthinking enthusiasm would sink her before she could get across the stream of Republican sent!- ment. Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer, vice chair man of the national Democratic con- gressional committee, expresses a hopeful view of the Democratic pros- pects for electing congressmen in this state. He says we will get twelve seats certain out of the thirty-two and probably thirteen. He is hopeful but not extravagant in that statement. The chances are more than even that | James A. Wakefield will occupy the seat of John Dalzell in the next con- gress, Curtis H. Gregg that of George F. Huff and John B. Brooks, of Erie, that of Arthur L. Bates. In other words, the Democrats are more than likely to split the delegation even, numerically speaking, and with Dal zell out we will have them outclassed a thousand miles intellectually. Thomas H. Greevy, Democratic can- didate for lieutenant governor, is cer- tainly making good. When his friends asked that the honor be bestowed upon him they assured the members of the executive committee that he would strengthen the ticket and prove a help- ful campaigner. He has been on the strenuous tour of the state with Sena- tor Grim and his speeches on the tariff indicate not only a thorough under standing of the subject, but a meas. ure of eloquence in expressing his views that brings to mind the memory of the days of brilliant oratory. Vote for Grim, Greevy, Blakeslee and Philson and you will be right dead certain. In vikber words, make a cross: in the square which designates the Democratic straight ticket and nobcdy will have anything on your.
