What the People Get. "
-
The Kansas City Star , which
prior to election was the most en-
thusiastic Taft organ in the west ,
prints column of editorial on the
first page devoted to "What the
people get. " . .
The Star states that the people
who voted for Taft and a republi '
can congress supposed they were
voting for tariff revision down-
ward. They had made up their
minds , the writer. : .says , _ t.bat } tjie. ;
high prices were due to the tariff
wall around the necessaries of
life. And it ' is doubtless true that
thousands of voters were deluded
into that belief along with Senator
Dolliver of Iowa who declared that
the "tariff should be revised. by
its friends. " They know better
now and they are waiting the
chance to offset that error so far
as they can at the next congres-
sional and national elections.
But in its discussion of the sub-
ject the Star says :
"The people had a right to ex-
pect that the burden on the great
mass of articles used by every
family would be somewhat . light-
ened ; that congress would lessen
the tax on sugar , the one im port-
ant article of food that is affected
by the tariff ; that it would some-
what reduce the duties on the cot-
ton fabrics , of which 1,000 million
dollars' worth are purchased year-
ly in America ; that it would scale
down the taxes on linens , another
commodity of universal comsump-
tion ; and that it would see to it
that some of the excessive pro
tection was lopped off from the
woolen fabrics , which constitute
the bulk of the nation's clothing ,
"
and which "ba.e steadily deterioat-
ed in quality and increased in
price under the Dingley reigme. I
"These were moderate demands. .
But the congressional organization I
ignored them. Instead it continu
ed the joker by which the sugar
trust is relieved from the only
competition it fears-that of the
light brown. sugars , once so plenti-
ful in every household. At the
behest of the organized greed of
New England it maintained the
high rates on woolens and linejis ,
and it actually increase heavily
the duties on cotton goods in the
face of the protests of the New
York manufacturers , who said the
extortion would benefit only cer
tain mills in the state of the chair-
man of the committee on finance.
"The duty on lumber has been
reduced , though there is no reason
why lumber should not be free.
The chairman of the ways and
means committee confessed pub-
licly that the duty on shingles was
nearly doubled at the insistence
two senators w'ho threatened to
hold up the bill , otherwise-an apt
illustration of the extent to which
the tariff is based on the difference
in the cost of production at home

. That is the way the republican
party kept its faith with the peo-
. ple. So hedged about and con
trolled by the interests which
' thrive on protection with its Ald-
rich , Payne , Cannon and others
of like ilk as its thoroughly in -
trenched leaders it is really a
wonder that republican experts
can claim the reduction of three-
'riundredths of one per cent in the
average level of duties which is
their strongest defense of the
Payne tariff bill at present.-
