last a week or ten days, and which
may last much longer than that?
Does the president think Mr. Aid
rich was mistaken In the estimate
of the increased revenues which the
remodeled tariff would bring? Or
has de dropped his retrenchment
program?"
In all of your forgettings don't
forget that tho national deficit for

We are in receipt of a letter ask
ing the Journal editor to write an
article In opposition to the measure
which seeks to tax corporations. We
beg to be excused, for the simple

trations came Into power by the uld
and Influence of the corporations,
and they should be the last to com
plain of tho conditions which now
confront them. All will remember
tho contributions of the Insurance
companies to tho Roosevelt cam
paign fund. That fund came from
the exorbitant premiums collected
from policy holders. Now that those
same Insurance companies are be
ing pinched by the powers they help
ed to place In positions of trust they
squeal to those who were opposed to
the policy of tho corporations pour

must make the best of It. We were
opposed to the corporations assisting
to put the present administration
In power and we are now opposed to
assisting them when that admlnis
up the country and make money for
themselves. Now, the tariff is a tax.
It is a clumsy, unjust tax. It puts $1
in the United States treasury and $7
in the pockets of the Pig Rich. And
this Is the people's money.
Put more concrete instances are
necessary to arrest the attention of
the people who, because the tariff is
supposed to be a hard and dry sub
ject, and because the tariff taxation j
is Indirect, often grow Impatient and
will not take the pains to under
stand that they are being robbed. A
recent editorial in the Duluth Her
ald sums up admirably a few of the!
things the tariff does to the people.
