The Press, of New York City, in a veiled attack upon Chauncey M. Depew, says: “The Press is believed to be one of the o gans of ex-Governor Frank 8. Blac! who aspires to oust Depew from his comfortable seat in the Senate.” “ef Banker Vanderlip, the mouthpiece of the Standard Oil Trust, talks about a “return of prosperity” as likely, if only bankers and would-be specula- tors will be careful not to “run amuck.” Vanderlip should pay more heed to his words. It is the claim of the Republican campaign managers that “prosperity” is here already, and has been here ever since the Dingley tariff went into effect. Why, then, talk about a “return” of it? se Among the numerous reforms that may be looked for in the event of the election of Judge Parker is one for the preservation of the lives of trav- elers by water, The steamboat inspec- tion service, by practice of graft and indulgence in favoritism, has been ad- mittedly rotten, like the bulk of the life preservers aboard the ill-fated General Slocum. It was rottenest when Chairman Cortelyou was Secre- tary of the Department of Commerce and Labor, which has under its juris- diction the steamboat inspection ser- Vice, The Panama chicken is coming home to roost before the coop is ready, It Was not intended to be ready until at- ter the election, eee The Steel Trust takes from the pock- ets of our people and does not even give its workinen a falr share of its swag.

Then will the time come when a rot- ten Administration will not be per: mitted to investigate itself and exclude Congress from participation, see Announcement is made that during the New York campaign the Repubil- cans will keep Odell in the back- ground. The Democrats, on the oth- er hand, will keep Odell and Odellism well to the front, They are worth thou- sands of votes, . Roosevelt boasts of his undying de- votion to civil service reform, yet not in a dozen years has the law been so extensively and flagrantly violated as now. All over the country Government employes are being forced to contrib- ute to the Roosevelt campaign fund, 7 * The New York Press predicts that » Roosevelt will come down to the Har- lem ‘River with 100,600 plurality, If he reaches that point with 75,000 plu- rality he will be doing very well, but even the former figure will not save hiw, because Judge Parker's lead be- Jow the Harlem will be at least 125,000. This is a Democratic year in New York. i eee We have often wondered just what was the matter with ‘Tom Watson and now we know. The Nashville Ameri- ean lets the cat out of the bag. “Tom has had a kind of vipe angrenish hatred for the Democracy ever since Judge Fuller, of Georgia, mopped up the earth with him in two separate races for Congress.” 28 The Boston Journal, the newspaper that the Vermont Republicans regard as only less sacred than the Bible, re- ports that eleven men have subscribed each $1,000,000 to the Democratic campaign fund, and yet the Journ is sure that Roosevelt will win out. nice little wad ef the “long green —te—be—dumped” into the doubtful Pre supporting the Democratic dential ticket. Four years nine-tenths of these papers were the other side of the political fence. | More significance. “ef According to a dispatch from Hono- lula the Republicans are “after the Chinese vote.”. They are welcome to it. ewe Had Governor-Chairman Odell had any idea what his Democratic Attor- ney-General was going to do to him he would not have endorsed him as one of the soundest lawyers he had ever met. “If the Democrats think I have done wrong,” said the Governor-Chair- man, “let them ask Cunneen about it. I know of no lawyer whose opinion | would sooner take, or value more high- ly.” The Democrats did ask Cunneen about it, and Odell has been on crutches ever since. PICKLED SHEEPSKINS. Senator Lodge in a Peck of Trouble, and Teddy Goes to His Rescue. Hon, Charles 8, Hamlin, who is to make a number of speeches for the Democratic national ticket in the mid- dle West, begrudges the time he must give to that pleasant duty simply for the reason that he would like to devote all of bis time to the “doubtful” State of Massachusetts, While no well informed person in- cludes the Bay State among those that are likely to go Democratic, nor even among those classed as doubtful, there yet is less of facetiousness in Mr, Ham- lin’s remark than might at first thought be supposed. Senator Lodge, the Re- publican leader in Massachusetts, and bosom friend of President Roosevelt, is in a peck of trouble, and is making frantic demands upon the Republican National Committee for money and speakers to help him carry Massachu- setts, Thirty thousand Republicans, acting with a like number of Democrats, have compelled Mr. Lodge to right-about- face on the question of reciprocity with Canada, and it is now probable that the Senator will be further humiliated by being forced to turn a complete somer- sault, But whether the Republican organi- zation does or does not come out square footed for this measure of relief which is demanded by the people of Massa- chusetts, there is bound to be trouble for the hide-bound partisans of pro- tection in that State, and the Demo- crats should profit thereby. The absurdity of the sixty-seven cents a ton duty on coal is one of the things which is keenly realized by the New England manufacturers who in- sist upon reciprocity with Canada, The sole effect of this duty, so far as they are concerned, is to exclude the New England States from the nearby Nova Scotia supply of coal, and to compel them to pay an excessively high price as a slight benefit to distant mine own- ers, to the material injury of their own industry. This same duty, it may be said in passing, handicaps the people of the Northwest, who, but for it might draw their coal from the fields of Brit- ish Columbia at a considerable saving over present cost. But reciprocity with Canada {is not the only important matter which Is troubling Senator Lodge and his Re- publican machine, “Pickled sheep- skins” are causing great annoyance. Large quantities of them are imported into Massachusetts every year. For- merly they came in free of duty, but recently the Treasury Department dis- covered that there was an “infant in- dustry” in domestic sheepskins which must be helped over the rough places in its pathway. Hence the department officials decided that these pickled sheepskins must be treated as partly manufactured goods, and taxed at twenty per cent, Senator Lodge has appealed to the President, and unless he has lost his “pull” with his old friend entirely pickled sheepskins will be restored to the free list, at least un- til after election, on the free list. Following his order that no department estimates showing should- hereafter be given out, Mr. Roosevelt has given orders to the Treasury officials that no more duties shajl be collected on pickled sheep- skins until they hear from him again. This may possibly “save” Massachu- setts. P.

PARKER, What the Tariff and Trusts, on Which Roosevelt Stands Pat, Cost the American Agciculturist, No class of American citizens suiters more severely from the ive and unjust Republican tariff tem than the farmers, It is a well-known fact that the cost of all production falls ul- timately upon the land, that whoever dances the farmer has to pay the piper, that when the great heads of Republi- can trusts travel over the world in their yachts and automobiles, it is the farmer planting his corn and gathering in his crops who bas to pay for their enjoyment, while he and his heip sweat and tug in the field and the barn, As all wealth is really based on land and its products the farmer, who is nearest the land, ought to have his fair share of it, But does he? Let us Bee, The Republican high tariff gives the trust yacht-owning, champague-guz- aling monopolists the power to charge what prices they please in the United States, where competition bas been practically destroyed by the trusts, while the same monopolists, when they sell their American goods abroad, have to meet competition there, and F consequence they sell to fore cheaper than they sell to Ame The American farmer has io py instance, $11 for a trust-inade - can cultivator, while the same / can cultivator is sold abroad for § The American f. trust-emade Ame y, Which is sold abroad for § The a dozen fo made Americ which the me trust manufactu sells abroad to the foreigner for CONSTITUTION 00 We, the people of the United St\tes. in ord shape of overchs | ted States j sood Coal of testi TE } Se i ge \ | itution forthe i atl tut tat CERNE CUE NTE A ote aie ant ee EEE ett CL ee GHEE GRE ees To woe aw ote ue B Nant a ete Heat Atte Oe er RHEL HHA So ARTICLE Kisect wae vay MUU aM Aun et EUR tbe ARTICLER We tae tata wa a AU AME A e-\ TUM Us ee ee ee nt Aue WHtt \ PONE CHIEF and WOR prices tor goods fro ers, ber that when President Roaseveit wits Governor of New York be disapproved a DH passed by the Legishature tisins franchises, and intended to reduce the burden of State tax on farmers aud other individual taxpayers by making corporations pay theit just shave.

Next! ef Jovernor-Chairman Odell says these stories about “perversion of State funds” are lies from start to finish. “On the contrary,” he says, “I have saved the State over $6,000,000 by my vetoes.” What an awful tot of graft- ers Odell’s henchmen must be, if, iv addition to what they got away with, the boss held them up and made them disgorge to the tune of $6,000,000! ** € “You can see twenty acres of Philip- pine life at the world’s fair, but you cannot see a square rod of the Consii- tution.”—Justice Brewer, of the Unit- ed: States Supreme Court. Respectfully referred to President Roosevelt, with the suggestion that Justice Brewer be promptly tried for high treason, The campaign for the perpetuation of Odellism in the State of New York is progressing beautifully. No act of the Republican State Administration could bring a blush of shame to the face of any Republican,” exclaimed State Senator E)sberg, one of Odell’s henchmen, in ci<sing an impassioned plea for fair treatment of the Govern- or-Chairman, “Marvellous,” comments the Republican New York Sun, “that go immaculate a thing should diffuse euch an appalling stench!” oe. 6 Colonel George Brumder, of Milwau- kee, who started out to help elect Roosevelt, has decided that he made a mistake, and is now advocating the election of Judge Parker instead. Colonel Brumder owns the leading Ge man-American newspdper in Milwau- kee. He is also the proprietor of the Freie Presse, published in Lincoln, Neb., and a German-American weekly of large circulation in Chicago. Colonel Brumder is a recruit worth having. It is a fact of considerable significance that 2 majority of the newspapers in the Western Mtates that are print- ad in the German language are HOW PROTECTION ROBS. Mr. Schwab, of Steel Trust, Tells of ‘Nice Margin”? Made Out of Home Consumers. Clearer proof of the truth that “pro- tection is robbery” could not be de- sired than was given by Representa- tive John Sbarp Williams in his speech: “You know we can make steel rails for less than $12 a ton,” wrote . Schwab, “ledving a nice margin for for- eign business.” The size of this nice margin is $9 for the price of American rails to foreigners (the Grand ‘Truuk Railway of Canada, for instance) is $21 a ton; but when the same corpora- tion, whose lines are partly in United States territory, buys rails to lay down on this side of our tariff boundary. it is obliged to pay for the goods at the rateof $29 a ton. The President of the company stands ready to vouch for this fact. The rafls cost $12 a ton to pro- duce; they are solg to foreigners at $21 a ton, which ifa fair profit; but when sold to be put down In the United States the sum of $29 a ton is exacicd. the extra $8 being pure robbery.-i'h”- adelphia Record, Republicans to Be Disappofnted. The Indiana Republicans have been boasting that they would carry the Twelfth Congressional District of that State this year for the first time in history. The district includes the city of Fort Wayne, where Robinson, the Democratic nominee, was cut consider- ably in a previous contest. The staff correspondent of the Indianapolis News thinks the Republicans will be disappointed. He has traveled over the Twelfth District, and reports as the re. sult of his investigation, that there “« little foundation” for the Republicaz claim that they will win out this year.

It has been carefully estimated that the 6,200,000 families in the United States engaged in agricultural pursuits pay a. tribute annually to the Republican tariff pro- tected trusts of $517,700,000. This vast umount the Republican trust mag: utes ave enabled to extort from the farmers of the United States by meaus of a high tariff which prevents compe- Uition fram abroad, and of unlawful trace combinations whieh the Reapub- lican Administration has done nothing to break up, and virtually con- troi that Adminis Jwige I er, Democratic enndidate for the Presidency, is piedged by his own utterances and the party platform to bring about such revision of the tariff as will prevent the trusts from discriminating in favor of the foreign- in the sale of American goods, Judge Parker Is also pledged to break up the unlawful conspiracies called trusts, and reduce prices by re- storing competition.
