For more than half a dozen years there have been hearings in progress either in the Ways and Means committee of the House or the Finance committee of the Senate on the tariff question. A hearing in either of these committees upon that subject means, literally, that men inter- ested in the iron business, the woolen business or the cotton industry tell the committees what rate of tariff taxes on those commodities would be agreeable to them. Nobody ever dreamed of inviting the consumers of iron, wool or cotton to come forward and express themselves on | the subject.

In demanding hearings on the UNDERWOOD tariff bill, therefore, Senator PENROSE is simply seeking delay of the revision of the tariff in order that the rake-off may be pro- longed to those who have financed his political operations in the past and are expected to contribute to his corrupticn fund in the future. The public ought to understand these facts. ~- Mrs. BELMONT was probably only joking when she said, in London, the other day, that the militant suffragette methods which have been outraging pub- lic decency in London for some months, will be introduced into this country in the near future.

CITIZEN, Selfish Combines that Destroy Repub- lics, Don’t Want Truth to be Known. Dear Editor Watchman: —To exemplify the last half century evolution of trade and religion that now sacrifices life and health food, that made life worthy living, by partaking of wholesome food and cultivating the palate to live most bright, more clearly I will narrate scenes of 60 years ago: A mother taken sick with nervous prostration and a celebrated physician prescribed, partake every night a half pint of porter. “Oh doctor I don’t like porter,” well you partake half ale and porter until cultivating a taste and then the best porter obtainable at that time designated by * * * * on draft at four cents half pint this where roasted barley and then ground to meal and brewed in open vats by steam pipes and hops placed therein, a process of creating the least alochol and fermented and preserved by cane sugar.
