In the course of the dis. cussion Sir Robert Horne, chancellor of the exche- | quer, stated that the British government would keep the fact steadily in mind that the payment of her debts to this country would be very difficult, | if not quite tmpossible, unless the American tariff| were lowered to such a point as to enable British goods to enter America freely. | ‘This statement has been seized upon by free trade | advocates and international bankers as an argu- ment against the enactment of a protective tariff. British propaganda is being disseminated through- ont the United States carrying the very plain inti- mation that if we expect Great Britain to pay us Figg a the money she borrowed of us during the war we must permit her to exploit our markets. This is but a continuation of the propaganda against an American protective tariff which British influ- ences have been waging ever since the present tar- iff bill was first proposed in the house of repre- sentatives.

Primarily the blame for government methods and abuses resta, with an uneducated, in- different and lazy electorace, that has a double standard, one for private and another for public business, not grasp- ing the fact that they are ono and in- separable, and that our business ills —and théy are made concrete for us in our tax bills—are the result of highly infectious political diseases. No group needs education so much as those business men who go along with corrupt organizations on the theory that they can profitably exchange public advantages for private gain. Once Americans fourht because they had taxation without representation. ‘Today we stand for taxation with mis- vepresentation. Nor can we have low- er taxes until we remove the causes for high taxes, which means the re- moval of a lot of incompetents from office. Half asleep voters have always been ruled by wake spenders. ‘There is no magic in the polling place that transmutes second-rate candidates into first-rate officials.

Shrewd observers of William II., long before the war divined that old Bis- marck had judged the character of the imperial braggart to be. They knew William II. to be at heart despteable.

Perhaps his death will help confirm the Germanssin that determination. He called the remaining royalists “an inconsequental minority.’ They are a minority, but whether they will con- tinue inconsequental remains to be seen. An aggressive minority that knows what it wants and js unscrupul- ous concerning the means {t employs, has imposed itself upon the peoples far less docile than the Germans, “William II. proved to be the Ger man Louis Napoleon.

German workers receive 14 cents per hour compared with our-wages, which average about 80 cents an hour.” One of the best paid industries in this. country, because it requires skilled workmen, is that of print cutters skilled workmen who cut designs upon blocks from which wall paper as well as fig- ured textiles are printed.
