MAKING AN ADMIRABLE RECORD ( Senator Beveridge has made an admirable record in the tariff fight and his friends do not believe he will spoil it by voting for the tariff bill on its final passage unless it is all that it ought to be —in which case he would not spoil his record by voting for it But he should understand, and we have no doubt that he does, that the people of Indiana are very greatly aroused, and that they are in no mood to be deceived by fake concessions. Unless the bill is a substantial redemption of the party pledge they will have none of it. They will not be satisfied by any assurance of Aldrich that It is “all right” For they remember that he has denied that the party was pledged to a downward revision. If he holds that theory why should he give a downward revision, when he is a believer in ultra protection? Nor has it been forgotten that Lodge spoke of the consumer as a “myth.” These men will grant no more than they have to, and anything coming from them will, as it ought to be, be viewed with suspicion. So we do not doubt that Senator Beveridge will be on his guard. It would be natural if he regarded the work of the conference committee somewhat partially, and saw much good in it. For he will want to vote with his party, and this, too, is natural. But the people of Indiana care little about that. What they want is substantially lower duties, relief from taxation, and freedom from the dom-

ination of New England. They art not thinking much of party now, and they will judge their servants not according as they vote with this or I that party, but solely on the basis of their devotion to their own conI victions, and of their loyalty to the I welfare of the taxapeyer. No RepubI lican in Indiana need fear that he [will hurt his party standing by fightj ing Aldrich and Smoot right down to the finish. We do not look to see Senator Beveridge “quit. —lndianapolis News. That speech of Congressman Adair I made in the house of congress the I other day had brimstone in it. He told the naked truth about so many things that eveii some members of I congress ought to quake in their boots and show some signs of being good. The protests going up in congress and out of it, for a reduction in the present outrageous rates of the Dingley tariff law, and the Aldrich-Payne contemplated law, is enough to excite the wonder that congress would even suggest the outrage. Under the present law and under the contemplated law, the sugar trust will get their fifty-five millions, the woolen manufacturers will get their one hundred millions, it is too much labor in hot weather to count the steel trust’s millions, and the four hundred or more trusts will get theirs, all in excess of a fair and reasonable profit. The long suffering people will pay it in increased prices for everything they eat, and wear and drink. But while we pay the bills, let us not forget to use our Christian fortitude in portraying the beauties of a protective tariff; and which is so generous with our infant industries. ANY LADY can easily make from $lB to $25 per week working for me quietly in her own home locality. This is a bonafide offer —one which will pay you to investigate, even if you can only spare two hours per day. No investment required. Turn your spare time into money. Write me at once for particulars. Address Harriet M. Richards, Box 30, Woman’s ‘ Building, Joliet, 111. It
