These millions come out of the peo ple’s pockets in the shape of taxes.

It almost seems the opera. tors are willing to see the settlement drag along that they may have an ex- cuse for keeping up the price of coal. The people are the sufferers and the coal lords largely the gainers. If con. gress took the tariff of 75 cents off the ton of coal, these lords would soon be brought to their senses. But we suppose that ‘‘congress won't have time” to do its duty, although it at one time passed an entire tariff bill 10 less than two week's time, HOW IT WILL WORK.

And when a cyclone comes along and blows over, they're higher than they were before.’’ “That is the kind of ‘tariff revision’ the country always gets when the republi. cans go into the ‘revising’ business,” says the Times-Democrat, Harter’s | For that reason | taxpayers | RT.
