The negative vote was made up of Democrats, Pop- ulists and silver Republicans. Not a Republican on the list, all of which is well to remember miei tl etme Quay was earnestly requested to go up to Harrisburg last week and discov- er what might be taxed to help the state treasury out of the deficiency caused by the spendthrift legislature. Quay did not care to face the hole his machine caused in the finances and he sent Senator Penrose instead. But the Senator found things in such bad shape that he gave up the job and re- turned to Washington. How to fill up the great hole in the state finances will be solved by increased taxation. m——————- A TSA I¥ the spendthrifts at Harrisburg, who have bankrupted the treasury, ean find nothing more to be taxed to raise more funds for squandering why not go out and hold festivals and con- certs? Some might take organs and mortikeys to grind out funds, Pass a law that every tobacco smoker and chewer, every beer drinker and card player, shall shut down for fifteen days, and the money saved thereby be handed over to the state. In this way, with the proposed big slice from the school fund, the state robbers may make up the four million deficiency. The Reporter will not apply for a pa- tent on this suggestion, THE PATRIOTIC SENATE Senator Pettigrew made the trust subject acute in Tuesday's debate, There is always some one inconven- iently ready to disturb the Senators with malicious reference to this sore topie, and It Is noticeable that the van- dal is usually not a Republican in good standing. Monday it Tillman, l'uesday Pettigrew, who had bolted the St. Louis Convention, where for the first time an anti-trust declaration was left out of the form. Pettigrew protectionist, but while still elinging to the fallacy that the whole people can be enriched was Republican is n by taxation, differs from his associates in his belief that the trusts should net be enriched In the same manner. Ac- cordingly he asked that the Tarifl’ bill be amended thus: That all articles on the dutiable mentioned in this act shall admit- ted free of duty if said articles or list wr arti- cles of a like character of domestic pro- duction are manufactured or their sale fected LCase controlled or the price trust or combination to cost of said articles to preventing competition or by Lhe purchasers by otherwise.

Do they ever share the profits of the pool with labor? No. Will they ever share the wofits of a tariff? Never. “ht o political economist to answer these q If the United nufacturers can reap twioe the profit under a high tariff by limiting themselves to the he market and running half time, why should they run full time and invade foreign mar- kets? They never will, They will sit down comfortably and sell their Hmited supply of goods for increased profits, making them more than whole, while the laborer tramps the country in search of work just as he now does under the trost gystom. ‘“It is unfortunate that the humdrum of the tariff has been sounded in the ears of the people until many of them really believe that foreign trade is un- important, if not a curse. Why did the breaking of the steel rail pool put so many men to work? It was bocause the consequent lowered price for iron and steel brought most liberal orders from abroad 11 as at home. Bupposo the tariff bad been prohibitive and we would have been confined to the home market. Would the manufacturers bave made so many goods? No, but they would have doubled their profits on what they did make. The people could not have bought so many because of the increased price. Who would have suf- fered? First, the workmen, because they would have had fower goods to make; secondly, the consumer, because he could not have bought so many at a higher price. Who would have been ben- efited? The manufacturer, because he made and handled less goods, made a double profit, and really have gained, as he would have had few- er to handle for the same profit. “This bill will increase the manufao- 1 takes nD uestions, at ates ma me as wel oles, but will lessen the power of the ‘It is the poverty of the buyer, not | the producer, that must bo relieved be- fore things will thrive, “The manufacturer has every facility to produce, but no facility to sell. “It is the consumption that must “Thero are but a few crumbs in this interior or the laborer, but thousands of things to further oppress him.
