ntansncetromoast + Vital Washington News. By Clyde H Tayenner Washington, Jane 20.—‘T am through with it.” So spoke Senator Dolliver, of lowa. He meant that he would never again raise his voice, either in the Senate of the United States or from the stump, in defense excessive protection. “I do not propose,’ declated Dol- liver, “‘that the remaining years of my life shall be given up in dull con- sent to the success of all these con- spiracies. I intend to fight as a Re- publican for a free market on this continent.” In other words, the mighty Dolliv- er, for years an ardent protectionist, is conscience stricken. He stands appalled at the magnitude of the sins that have been visited upon Republic and people by a system which he ad- vocated with his own voice. His eyes opened, Dolliver was courageous enough to say: “I am throughtwith it."’ That is why his speech willlive in history, because he said, ‘I am through with it.”” The philosophy of the Iowan, in it- self, was not new, any more than were his statements that Congress, in passing the Payne-Aldrich bill, was dominated by the tariff trusts. Dem- ocrats have told the same story time and again. Dolliver has merely in- dorsed the Democratic viewpoint, which is that excessive protection | robs the many for the few. | Senators regard the Dolliver speech as the most impressive oratory the Senate has listened to in many years. It will take rank among the foremost examples of American eloquence. Dolliver analyzed the cotton and wool schedules of the Payne-Aldrich law, revealing as he went along, the fraud and injustice and jugglery which will force the people to pay outrageously high prices for the necessaries of life. the special interests, Taft republicans feel LaFollette should be defeated if possible. Payne-Aldrichism! Ladies’ gloves that were $1 a pair before the passage of the Payne- Aldrich tariff bill, are now $1.25. | Ladies’ shoes that were $8 are now | $3.50. Ladies’ sandal rubbers that | were 25 cents a pair are now 75 cents. | Even the kitchen broom which once ‘cost but 25 cents, now retails for 35 and 40 cents. © Patronage Still Withheld. | An inspired news item in which it |was denied that President Taft was | withholding patronage from progres- sive senators was recently sent from Washington to all parts of the United States. This information was entire- ly unfounded. None of the genuine progressives are receiving a morsel of the federal patronage within their districts. Taft's Optimistic Nature. Vice-President Sherman returned from Wisconsin with the report that “insurgency is fast subsiding.’ And President Taft believes him! | “Sleeth'’ the Insurance Man. 18-tf Some Tariff Figures. When a Republican tells you that the robber tariff protects the Ameri- can laborer from competition with European pauper labor, call him on the spot. Take him to Rhode Island, the home of Aldrich, the high priest of protection. Show him by the22nd annual report of the Rhode Island Bureau of Industrial Statistics these facts: “Wages of operatives in woolen and worsted mills, $7 to $9.a week; 80 per cent of operatives foreign born. “Wages in silk mills, $7 to $8 a week; 93 per cent of employes foreign born. “Wages in cotton mills, $7 to $8 a week; 80 per cent of operatives for- He also pointed out how the Presi- | eign born. dent had aided in the effort to de- ceive the public as to the true charac- ter of the law. “What a farce to send men around talking about the rule of the major- ity,’’ thundered Dolliver, ‘when, the most important business of the peo- ple has come down to the bargain counter, and men are authorized to say: ‘Thisis the citadel of protec- tion; if any of you have constituents that want anything, come here; we are the dispensing power; support what we want, and take anything you think you need,’ and the man who does not like it, and has no stomach “Wages in rubber factories, $8 to $9 per week; 70 per cent of employes foreign born.”’ Where does the American laborer come in atin Rhode Island? Prince- ly (?) salary paid, and largely to ‘‘for- eign born pauper labor,’’ too. The bold, naked truth about a high pro- tective tariff is that it protects nobody but the millionaire manufacturers and trust magnates. All this talk about it keeping the American laborer from coming into competition with Euro- pean pauper labor is a sham, a deceit, adelusion.

"It’s impossible to make the best cookery in utensils that quickly scorch or crack and scale off, rust and corrode, And such utensils are dangerous. Authorities say that cancer comes of eating particles of glass chipped off from ordinary enamel ware when hot. The heat expands the iron frame but the coating of glass—which is all enamel ware is— does not expand so fast, consequently it breaks and gets mixed with the food.
