THE TARIFF.

Four years ago, after an agitation lasting several years prior to that date, the republican platform promised a .revision of, the tariff. Everyone understood this to mean a downward revision. And they so understood it because every party newspaper and political speaker said the tariff plank meant a “downward revision.” Mr. Taft in his speech at the George Ade rally, in answer to a question put to him by one in the audience, as to what he understood the proposed revision to mean, said with considerable emphasis in substance as follows: “I understand the revision of the tariff means revision downward.” We took him at his word and we elected him by a plurality of two million votes. Congress convened in special session to revise the tariff. It was evident from the beginning that the leaders of the party did not mean to keep faith with the people. Many members of Congress made a consistent fight to redeem the party pledge, but when the thne came to vote, many fell in line, lay reason of the party lash and the desire to be regular, and voted for the thing against which they had contended. Representative Crumpacker was one of these. Albert J. Beveridge and about twenty other Progressive senators refused to support the tariff bill. In other words Beveridge voted as he fought Crumpacker voted at the other fellow fought. During all this tariff legislation, not once did President Taft raiae hia hand La defense of his promise to the people. He was completely swallowed up by the standpatters. Suppose he had said to Mr. Aldrich and his kind: “Gentlemen, unless you enact a tariff law in accordance with the plank in the republican platform, I will appeal to the people and the force of public opinion will compel you to keep your -promise,” and as a last resort he would have said, “If you don’t keep your promise I will veto your bill." But he lacked the courage of his convictions; he permitted himself to be surrounded as Senator Dolliver has well said, “by men who know what they want and how .to get it” But even had that been all, the voters might yet have excused Mr. Taft; but instead of keeping still after a poor performance, he went about the country abusing those of the republican party who voted against the tariff bill and read them out of the party, at the same time pronouncing the Payne-Aldrich tariff law the best tariff law ever enacted. Being chided by several newspapers for failure to keep the party pledge, he said in a speech in the east, that the platform did not promise a “downward revision.” And so it did not; but Mr. Taft did and the voters who put him In power understood it as a “downward revision.” The first election following the enactment of the payne-Aldrich bill, swept into power a Democratic house, leaving Indiana with one lone member, Mr. Crumpacker, whose.majority has steadily declined from about 8,000 of fifteen years ago to 1,800 In the last election. The entire country went Democratic. Then we had an exhibition of tariff grabbing, the like of which, even the old standpatters, snch as Cannon and Aldrich, had never seen. The democratic members at once showed that there was no hope from them as to a fair revision of the tariff. Mr. Underwood became the very acme of standpatism and Mr. Bryan severely denounced his attitude. Bat Mr. Underwood had a

strong following and nothing was accomplished of importance. But you are asking, what will the Progressives do in regard to the tariff if placed in power? Every Progressive member of Congress fought for a just and fair revision of the tariff. They did not hesitate; they had the courage of their convictions and voted as they talked, and they are the only ones who did. So we have reason for our faith, that if placed in power, they will enact a tariff law In accordance with the party promise. And what is the promise? It is this: A protective tariff, based upon the difference fn cost of labor at home and abroad; all of which is to be determined by an impartial investigation by men of high qualifications, acting as a “tariff commission,” with full power to fix rates and change the same as conditions may justify. In other words the Progressive party proposes to go about the matter in a business-like manner, get the facts first and then act accordingly; and not use the tariff as a “horse-trading” proposition, against the interest' of the masses of the people. In this way only can the tariff be taken out of politics and made a matter of business. This the old parties will oppose, because they fight their mock battles over the tariff question, campaign after campaign, trying to make the people believe that it is the one great issue that confronts us.

PROGRESSIVE PARTY HOPE OF THE SOUTH.

Fairfax Harrison, president of the Monon route, speaking as a southerner and a business man, has declared his adherence to the Progressive party. “Since the days of the civil war the South has had but one „ party, the Democratic party. After the war the negroes, under the leadership of the office holders sent into the south by the federal government, were enlisted as Republicans. This soon forced practically all the white men into the other party. “I have long felt that the only way to break up this one-party system and to give the south real political expression lay in the abolishing of the old party labels. Call a man a Republican or a Democrat and he will feel bound to vote according to the Republican or Democratic tradition, but call him a conservative or a liberal, and you have at once arranged a new political division. “There are many men in the south who have been voting the Democratic ticket for years, although the Democratic policies have not met the needs of the industrial development- of the new south. For such men it seems to me that the new party offers a logical way out. “My second reason for believing in the new party lies in its attitude toward business. Ever since the days of Henry Clay the tariff has been an issue because it has meant: “What is the relation of the government to business? This is what has made it interesting to thepeople. Today that same problem has more definite form in the relation of the government to the large combinations of capital known as the trusts.

“Neither of the old parties.has had anything definitely constructive to offer on the trust problem. They have tinkered at it They have attacked btlsiness here and there, but they have offered no remedy. “To my mind the trust platform of the Progressive party, though radical in form, is truly conservative in result. It is not a new plan. Many people have long believed it to be the best solution. “I did not come into the new party at the time when Mr. Roosevelt was deprived of the nomination at the Republican national convention. I was not sure then that the new party movement might not be merely a. one-man movement I would not follow Mr. Roosevelt in such a party. —“But I went to the national Progressive convention, mainly out of curiosity, I suppose. I .came then to appreciate that there was in this movement a real spirit that gave it vitality and permanence. The sight of 15,000 people singing the Doxology with tears in their eyes may not recommend itself as a practical means of solving political problems, but' it means that there was at that convention —leaving out all the Insincerities, all the politicians, all the unessential things that have been swept up in this great basket —a basis of that sound and wholesome emotion that accomplishes more great things in this world than pure intellectuality. “I do not know whether the Progressive party will win at this election, but I do feel sure that it will go on as a lasting force in our national life. Men will come into it later who are not in it now. Its place of future usefulness is certain.”

ROOSEVELT ON THE PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM.

“Our platform doei not deal with the empty generalities with which the ordinary political platform is filled; it does not contain the sound and fury designed ty) conceal the lack of gennine purpose. We, in our platform, for the first time since the Civil War, face the issues of the day fearlessly, resolute, determined to see that the cause of righteousness does not suffer in our hands. “The fundamental plank is the plank that pledges ns to fight for social and industrial justice, the plank that pledges ns to work in a spirit of real brotherhood, scorning any hospitality of creed, standing together shoulder to shoulder, in no matter what fashion we may severally choose to worship our Maker; standing together to battle for the and oppressed, for the lowly and the heavy-laden; standing together pledged to fight while onr lives last the great fight for righteousness in this country. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Remember the concert tonight. Mrs. Philip McElfresh and granddaughter, Ruth Clark, went to Chicago today for a visit with relatives. Jim Fisher has been working at Hammond all summer as a carpenter at wages of 60 cents an hour or $4.80 per day of eight hours. He was home over Sunday with his family. True Woodworth is still confined to his bpd with malarial fever, contracted while he was building stone roads near Lee. He is somewhat improved but won’t be able to get out for several dayi. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Warren, who have been visiting here for some time, left for Chicago today, where they will visit relatives before returning to their home at Kearney, Neb. Have you noticed the new eledtric lighting system of the R-C-H car sold by John M. Knapp?

A: Williams went to Paxton, 111., on business relating to a settlement of the estate in which the Karsten children are interested. They will procure about' $20,006, but relatives there Bad tried to settle with them for $3,000. Mrs. B. J. Moore returned from Indianapolis Saturday, where she attended the meeting of the Pythian Sisters grand lodge as the representative of the local lodge. There was a great crowd in Indianapolis and it was almost impossible to get hotel accommodations, guests putting up with all kinds of inconveniences. Lon Healy, the musician and composer, is carrying his left arm in a sling in order to give it perfect rest. For two years he has felt It weakening and recently he has been having considerable trouble with it. On his physician’s advice he is carrying it in a sling, fearing that he might have players’ paralysis. He has played the piano at nights for the Princess Theatre for a long time, besides working aobut eight or ten hours each day at his father’s shoe shop.

Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Powers returned Saturday from a trip to South Bend to attend the reunion of the 15th Indiana regiment, which met here in Rensselaer three years ago. Only about twenty survivors of the regiment were in attendance at South Bend. The ranks are indeed getting thin. Mr. and Mrs. Powers enjoyed the meeting. They were taken about the city and out to Notre Dame in autos. They also went to Michigan City with Pat Lally and visited him over Friday night Joe Long arrived home this morning from a steady run of three weeks as postal clerk on the milk train. Art Cole, who'usually takes the run every other week, bas been visiting J. Frank Warren and family in Oklahoma for the past three weeks. He arrived at his home in Lafayette this morning at 3 o’clock and took the milk train run out at 6 o’clock. Joe will now have a vacation of three weeks. The milk train ran is a hard one. The train leaves Lafayette at 6 o’clock in the morning and arrives there in the evening at about 8 o’clock. It is usually alx>ut 10 o’clock before the trainmen get to bed. There is a rest period in Chicago of about 4 hours at noon but it don’t afford an opportunity for sleep and three weeks steady quite exhausts a man. j
