JcU Tarbell has recently written a history of the Amer ican iVotective Tariff, which has been running in the American Magazine, which for thoroughness and impar tiality ranks with her "History of the Standard Oil." No one can read it without realizing that the money power created by legislation is the cause of the low tone of Aineri an public life. The high protective tariff theory had been overwhelm ingly rejected by the nation after several trials, when the necessity of raising funds for the civil war gave to that class of harpies that are always found preying upon a nation in distress, the opportunity for vicious class leg-i.- ation that aided certain manufacturers to create for tunes at the expense of the masses. From the wealth thus created, legislation has been de bauched, the electorate corrupted and public morality di.vged in the dust. The great agricultural and horti cultural classes cannot be benefited by tariff, but they are i'lrted to pay tariff oil everything they purchase from a nail to a barb wire fence, from a fruit box to a threshing machine, that some trust may reap an illegal profit. The American tariff is the father of triisU It extorts high prices at home by squeezing the markets it is given a monopoly in, and undersells competitors in foreign mar kets. It produces alternate "feast or famine," inflation and panic, instead of equable' business, but, worst of all is its corruption of politics, because it makes capital depend on legislation for profit, resorting to bribery to secure the needed legislation. "The nation's treasury is emptied t prevent a repeal of duties, extravagant schemes are invent ed to spend an unnecessary revenue and votes bought in its Javor by enormous permanent burdens on the people." One is therefore somewhat amazed when he sees Presi dent Rotsevolt striking blindly at the "criminal rich," wno are nothing more than the products of special legisla tion, and at the same time openly advocating this special legislation which is the cause of the evils he attacks. In other words, he smashes at results while encouraging the cause. Judge Taft, in his campaign speeches, shows that he does not comprehend cither the causes of our discontent. His arguments are superficial, for as long as the cause, which he champions, exists, so long will the effect, whicli he is willing to fight, follow. And so we have all the trusts, the "malefactors of great wealth," the speculators of Wall street, who have recently blasted prosperity with a panic, and all the beneficiaries of special legislation supporting Mr. Taft, whose running mate, Sherman, has long been a trust lieutenant in the house, and whose platform repu- ...ii.mrvery rciorm proposed hy Ifoosevelt and La Kollettc. scorns the demands of labor, and spurns every move de vised to increase the rule of the people.

We are stampeded bv par tisan cries, and rally against progress with the mere call or a party name, deal, dumb and blind to all but the cry of ine gralter masked in the mantle of the "partv." So the rule of the party that is, the rule of the office seeker and i no mismess gralter-displaces the rule of common sens, and makes of American politics a farce that would b. laughable if it were not for the bartering away of tlx ugiiiHoi me many lor the benefit of tlw tW Given birth Medford Time Table SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY Liberal Party Waits M lot for.
