Republican Tariff Revis

r
Knnk pnrti.snns arc never fiiir In the dls-
fission of public questions. For instance
an exchange In apologizing for the stone
given to the people when they hollered for
bread , declares this hotter than the low liv
ing expenses and little or no chance to earn
money , provided under the Wilson bill. "
The writer knows , and we all know , that the
prices broke and went all to pieces long be-
fore the Wilson bill took effect , the llnanelal
panic being tne sole cause of the general de-
ntoralir ttion , lack : of work : and wages and
nil that nort of thing. The WiLsoii bill re-
vised the tariff downward less ! than six per
cent , and had little ) effect except to disgust
members of the democratic party who were
.
honestly in favor of tariff reform , of whom
there were few then and a blamed sight
fewer now. As to matters of more recent
history , the republicans promised relief
from unjust tariff schudles , and they didn't
.
do as they agreed.Ve are for the fulfill
' ment of party pledges. in lettter and spirit
i and purpose to roar when these sacred ab-
llgatious to the people are Ignored.
I
We quote the above from A. L.
Bixby in Daily Drift in the State
Journal of Oct. 2 , ' 09.
Mr. Bixby has been a very ardent
, . republican , strongly supporting
republican policies in the past
J while the democrats clamored for
. a revision of the tariff , which of
1 course meant downward or lower-
ing of the rates. : ; TVe have work-
ed and talked and written for a
revision of the tariff for years and
at times became very much dis-
couraged because republicans con-
tinually triumphed in elections
and even the poor laboring classes
and farmers and stockmen who
needed a reduction in tariff and
lower prices for articles which
they must buy , yet persistantly
\ voted the republican ticket which
'
. . . .
expenditures
increased their own
and they can now see what repub-
lican policies lead to in the cost of
living.
Yes we have often thought that
" "I'l"J1licans , ; would _ go on voting
t1 \ \ < j5rticker 1 { ; : until . anything wanted' , {
by ubuporot ttfeicfculd be vote&uofr
because it was republican and the
republicans were fy i power and
' ' ? t
such'has ' beeti'the : s . But now ,
if some of the leaders will take a
stand against the republican ma-
chine we may yet save a few rem-
nants of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence patch it , together and
rejoice in some liberty for the
common people. It is encourag-
ing to read articles from the differ-
ent republican papers now con
I demning the old traditional re
publican policies and all but saying
the , Democrats were right. Yes ,
they were right , and there are
many republicans in this county
who know we were right but they
don't like to admit it in that way.
They'd rather say that the tariff
question is not a political question
just now and they would like to
be put down as being opposed to a
high tariff or any tariff at all.
We like to encourage them by
saying : that both democrats and
republicans are opposed to the
high tariff. Democrats always
were. Kepuolicans just lately.
Yet they go right along voting
the same old republican ticket and
can't break away from it. They :
like to tell us that . they are ; in
favor of a l lower tariff or a revis- -
ion downward" but they don't
want to give up voting the same
old way.
Do they hope to change their
leaders ? Why ; not jump onto the
train that is going to the station
where they want to go The more
ser s We way. We saw a man fish-
iug l' in a pond on the prairie and
his explanation was that he used
to catch fish out of a hole like :
that. So Tie was content to sit
there and fish though I could see
the bottom of the pond and there
wasn't a minnow in it. So could
he if he had taken the trouble . to
look. There may be some who
won't look ahead to see that the
republican party is domineered by
the trusts , corporations , manufac-
tures and those whom a tariff
would benefit and that there isn't
anything : in it for the common
people. Don't look at the glazing
on top of the water. Look deeper
and you can see to the bottom.

than it does in any other part of
I world , though this country pro-
I duces most of the world's cotton
and a great part o ( the world's
wool. In spite of the fact that
this nation sells abroad vast quan-
tities of both of these principal
materials for clothes-making and
that with its improved machinery :
and intelligent labor it ought to
beat the world , the price of clothes
is higher here than it is anywhere
else in the world ; and the reason
is that the tariff schedules are so
high as to tax all the people
through every article of clothing
they buy , almost entirely' for the
benifit of a few mill-owners who
have done nothing to earn this fat
special privilege.
Congress did not lower the wool
schedules. It is asserted , in its
defence , that it did not raise them ,
either , though until the full extent
of the slight-of-hand work accom-
plished by Aldrich . is laid bare ,
nobody can be sure of that. Con -
gress did not lower the cotton
schedules , but it did raise them ,
and it raised most heavily those
covering articles which most peo-
ple buy because most people can
afford nothing better. These
things were done by the
tariff law which President Taft
praises , and for voting against
which he has chastised the insur-
gents of the west.
These abstract facts are made
more interesting by a few figures.
Clothing has already increased in
price , and still further increases
are promised for next spring.
The suit of clothes that you used
to buy for § 16 is now $20 ; and the
additional represents your tri-
bute to the wool trust and the mill
owners ; though there was a large
tribute in the old price of § 16.
The wholesale manufacturers have
to pay * more for cloth , linings , and
trimmings , and so they declare
they are compelled to raise prices
, -and , what is worse , to cheapen
the quality of the goods.
The consumer has this tempting
choice : He can pay § 25 for the
kind of suit that he bought last
fall for § 20 , or he can pay the old
price of § 20 and get for it the kind 1
of suit that he could have got for
§ 16 last spring.-
A pattern of goods that used tc
be sold to the manufacturers at § 1.
75 per yard now costs him $2.10.
It takes three and a half yards ; tc
make a suit so the added cost or ]
this item alone is 1.22. . Adding
in the additional cost of trimmings
and linings it is estimated that the
increase in the making a suit oul t
of that cloth is § 122. *
A dealer quoted by the Cincin
nati Enquirer says : "The retail 1
storekeeper who has a run on suits
that he pays § 15 for and sells al t
about § 22 if he wants to hold his
§ 22 price will have to take an in
ferior quality of suit. He wil 1 ]
get a grade -that sold for about 51 1S
previously and which he used tc
sell in his store at § 18. "
Another dealer says that "it i is
simply a hold-up behind the tarifl
fence. " This man bought a lot oi f
cloth for § 2 a yard tl . at sells - the
same goods from the same mill -
for 85 cents a yard in England.
The suits made of it are sold to the
retailer for § 16.50 and to the wear-
er for § 25. if the cloth could be
bought at the English price , Sc
cents , the retailer would get the
the suit for ' § 10 and the wearer at t
§ 15.
15.And
And so it goes , throughout the
list , thanks to the tariff law which
the president of the United States
is praising in the name of repub-
lican "party solidarity. " Whal
does the wearer of clothes , thus
robbed , care about "party soli
darity ? " - Duluth Herald.
