PROTECTIONISTS PLEASE ANSWER.

j The republican platilorm flelucI tantly admits that there has been an increase in the cost of living in the United stateis, but seeks to exonerate our systems of excessive protection with the statement that prices »have increased all over the I world. This is true, but it is also | true that the increase in prices I has, been more than twice as great | in. this country, i|nder JPayne-Al-drichism. than in. free-trade Great | Britain. ", - Here is a q.uerry that every protectionist in the land is invited to .answer: The United States official reports show that the average wholesale price of sugai' in London averaged two cents per pound less than in New York. The Payne-Al-drich tax on sugar is approximately two cents a pound. In England, sugar goes Untaxed. If the difference in price in the two countries is not due to the tariff on sugar, to 1 whaf cause is it due? ' ’. A \ - : ’Phone 315 if in need of anything in the job printing line and a representative of The Democrat will call upon you promptly.

RIGHT MAN FOR THE PLACE

Surely No One Mpre Fitting Than George W. Perkins to Be Treasurer of Roosevelt Party. —— ■ v v - It is eminently proper that George W. Perkins should be named as treasurer of the Bull Moose party. As a friend of the plain people Mr. Perkins has succeeded in amassing a huge fortune. Incidentally, and only Incidentally. he profited quite handsomely fn the division of the $69,000,000 which was the financial result of the formation of the steel trust. This gigantic monopoly has nothing to hope for in the election of President Taft, because it was under Mr. Taft’s administration that suit was instituted against it. Likewise Mr. Wilson’s election would be disastrous. But Mr. Roosevelt declined, while president, to prosecute the steel trust and he allowed the trust to gather in Its great southern rival, the Tennessee Coal 'and Iron company. More than this, during his seven years’ occupation sos the White House, Mr. Roosevelt took no action which looked toward a genuine revision of the tariff. No wonder that Mr. Perkins Is to be the treasurer of the new party. He has already contributed handsomely: and the barrel is still open. It is. however, an imposition upon human credulity to believe that his generosity has no selfish end In view.

Roosevelt’s Real Position.

“And oh: my friends: for one thing at least we should be profoundly grateful. “We are more fortunate than oar fathers in that there is not the slightest tinge of sectionalism In the fight we are now waging. The principles for which we stand are as vital for the south as for the north, for the east as for the west.” —Theodore Roosevelt at Chicago. Mr. Pecksniff never approached this. Where did the money come from which paid the heavy expense of Mr. Roosevelt’s preconvention campaign? What considerations moved Mr. Perkins, archpriest of big business; Dan Hanna, the son of his father; the McCormicks, who represent the Harvester trust as Mr Perkins represents the steel trust; Boss Flinn, rich through the control of city contracts, to take chief roles In the movement to bring him back to power? As the Roosevelt managers held out crisp new bills before delegates from the Black Belt, how Impressive is the proof of the death of sectionalism and the beneficent reign of “the principles for which we stand” over south and north alike!

Day of Reckoning Will Come.

Surely there must be a day of reckoning coming for the Anthracite Coal trust, and it is astonishing that men so intelligent as President Baer and his colleagues do not seem to see that-, they are hastening this day by their exactions from the public in forcing up the price of coal at this time. The addition of a quarter of a dollar to the price of anthracite Is not such a trifling matter that it will go unresented. Who would have thought a few years ago that the Standard Oil company, the American Tobacco company and other great corporations would ever be brought to terms and forced to dissolve or change their methods? Some day a way will be found by either state or federal authority to bring the anthracite combination to its knees, and for such drastic action it may thank the public sentiment aroused by the imposition of not far from $20,000,000 as an extra tax to make up for the increased wages, which cannot aggregate over $7,000.000 or $8,000,000 at the most, given to the miners under pressure.

Wilson’s Qualities.

There is no doubt of the progressiveness of Wilson. He is a man of unquestionable ability, wide study and scholarship, and a talent for administration. He is an uncommonly persuasive speaker and writer, and comes as near being a practical statesman as almost any man who could be mentioned now in public life. We have no reason to doubt his integrity of character and purpose, and he Is above suspicion of tolerating anything crooked or corrupt.—New York Journal of Commerce.

Fortunate for the Country.

We believe Mr. Wilson’s nomination to be in the highest degree fortunate for the country. It quickens the sluggish currents of trade and enterprise. It does these beneficent things, first, because in the last three months we have cast out so many devils, and second, because a gentleman will be In the White House during the next four years, a man of sanity and balance, a man sincerely desiring the welfare of the American people, a man of sobriety and principle, not a visionary.—New York Times.

IN A FALSE POSITION

TWO STATEMENTS BY SCHWAB SEEM CONTRADICTORY. ■r- . •: . . V/; Declares Steel Tariff Must Not Be Lowered, and Talks of Victory in Market Over His European Competitors. When Charles it. Schwab returned from a trip to Italy he immediately gave out an interview saying that the tariff on steel cannot be materially lowered without crippling the industry. . : Mr. Schwab is president of the Bethlehem Steel corporation and chairman of the board. His company has Issued $15,000,000 in common stock and a like amount of preferred stock. the common stock has never paid a dividend and is selling at about 38. The preferred is a seven per cent, stock which never paid seven per cent, and has not anything since 1908. It sells around 72. Mr. Schwab’s company is one of the many which “capitalized the economies of consolidation;’’ that is to say issued watered stock during the era of trust promotion. The $15,000,000 of common stock is mostly representative of that kind of capitalizationand if he means that tariff revision will cripple the iron industry by discouraging that kind of financing he is perfectly right. The American people are not going to revise the tariff with a view of furthering the scheme of high finance or to help anyone pay dividends on water. But there is a further fact in Mr. Schwab’s interview that is highly Illuminating. He said he had Just returned from Italy, where his company has closed a contract to supply armor plate for the Italian navy. Mr. Schwab’s company has no tariff protection in Italy against such great steel-producing countries as England, France, Germany and Belgium, but he can sell steel against them in that country because he offers the Italians good steel at fair prices. If he can sell steel without tariff protection in Italy he can do it at home.

Publicity for Perkins.

M hy should George W. Pprkins contribute $15,000 to help Mr. Roosevelt carry the Republican primaries in New York city? .. Is it because Mr. Perkins is an ardent believer in the. initiative and referendum? Is it because his confidence in a on the recall of Judicial decisions? Is it bacadse his confidence in a “pure democracy” is such that he is willing to make any financial sacrifice in order that the nation may achieve this goal? Is it because he believes that Theodore Roosevelt is the only statesman who is wise enough and patriotic enough to be president? Or Is it because Mr. Perkins finds in Mr. Roosevelt the most serviceable weapon for destroying the Sherman anti-trust law? Mr. Perkins is chairman of the finance committee of the Harvester trust. He Is a director of the Steel trust. He is a director of the Standard Oil bank. He was formerly a partner of J. P. Morgan & Co. Mr. Perkins helped collect the life insurance money for the Roosevelt campaign fund in 1904, and he is a very practical man. If he gave $15,000 to the Roosevelt campaign fund in New York, how much has he given to the Roosevelt campaign fund in other states, and why?—New York World.

MAKES NO FORCEFUL APPEAL

Republican Platform, Made Up of Sophistries, Will Be Condemned by the Voters. The Republican platform raises but one issue between the Republican party and the Democratic party. It raises another between the followers of Mr. Taft and those of Mr. Roosevelt. The really national issue is, of course, the tariff. On this the Republican platform is timid, qhifty, and indefinite. It declares the party’s continued belief in protection, “based on the American standard of wages;” flings a sop to agriculture and mining by advocating protective duties for their products; It puts forward the long-exploded notion about the need of defense against the cheap-labor products of foreign lands. Then, having committed the party to the underlying fallacies of protection, it admits that some duties are too high, and that they should be reduced in accordance with the conclusions of an expert board. With the committal to the broad principle and the broad sophistries of protection, the Democratic party takes prompt and complete issue. admission that duties are too high, the Democrats take much more definite and practical ground than the bewildered Republicans have dared to take. In substance the declaration of the Republicans is a promise to the favored Interests that the party will do as little as possible to reduce their ill-gotten profits, and will take as long as possible in doing it. The position of the party is one of sullen obstruction modified by fear of popular disapproval. None but hidebound protectionists and the pampered beneficiaries of the oppressive tariff will support the Republican candidate solely because of this part of his platform.
