(United States Senator From MuMcbasctU. J
" -?!7BiMt Berries) , ,
Washington, Aug. 121-Tbe Fordney
McCumber tariff bill which (he senate
passed Saturday- la i one of the most
abominable legislative acts : Of an
American congress. The old principles
of tariff for revenue -and tariff for
protection to ' infant industries nave
been abandoned. la part, .also, politi
cal party lines have fceett disregarded.
The whole measure, its preparation
and its passage step by step, smacks
of selfishness and sordid ness.' The
scales are excessive and" the indis
criminate manner . in which subsidies
and bounties have been distributed to
organized groups and classes at the
expense of the many Is scandalous.
The old abuses in appropriation bills
which taxed the American people in
order to get votes for congressmen by
erecting public buildings or by deepen
ing and widening creeks- and rivulets
in their districts are made to appear
insignificant in comparison with the
grab features of this tariff bill.
Congress has maintained for montife
a bargain counter where tariff duties
were sold to organized cliques and dfeno
bines whose . joint political strength
could command a majority of votes.
TARIFF MERELY DISTRIBUTES
It is well recognized that tariff laws
This bill takes billions of dollars from
the pockets of the public and dis
tributes this vast sum to those who en
joy sufficient influence to receive an
invitation to thrust their hands in to
the plunder pile.
The pit of it all Is the abandonment
of he. century old taHff principles by
a great political party. Senators from
manufacturing, agricultural, mining,
steel and metal states may be expected
hereafter by the old line log-rolling
methods and pork barrel practices, re
gardless of party affiliations to dictate
the rates which the favored industries
.n their' respective states demand.
If the new method which has suc
ceeded at .this time continues, it win
not be long before the old party labels
In our lawmaking bodies disappear and
blocs, agricultural, manufacturing la
bor banking and social are substituted.
TOLL. IS STtPEXDOTJS
The toll the-. American' people must
pay under the operation of this bill is
stupendous. It will reach into the bil
lions. Food stuffs, clothing, practically
all the very essentials and necessaries
of life bear the highest known duties
and all of this .while people are de
manding reductions in the cost of pro
duction, cost of living, and capital is
deflating wages. In the midst of the
great business -depression, throughout
the world, from which oar own country
has not been spared, j the people's con
gress proceeds to -increase their bur
dens and cost of living.
Experts of the government estimate
that If the Increased tariff duties levied
on fresh meats, cereals, potatoes and
beans are effective in increasing
prices those duties alone will amount
lo an increase of H.150,000,000 in the
cost of living.
Indeed it is notorious that the work
ing and poorer, classes are especially to
stirrer in onsueneB os? ipis legisla
tion. ''" Ki
PRODUCTION COST GROWS
I Is useless to enumerate thS mil
lions reaching into the billions which
those Increased duties will extort.
Every Industry with political Influence,
whether-of the "war baby" or mush
room type, or of trust busting propor
tions has been made a beneficiary in
participating In the graft. Their
friends In congress however, have over
reached themselves; Such high duties
have been levied upon the raw and
basic materials necessary to the manu
facture of most of our finished pro
ducts, that the big Industries of the
couhtrymust face staggering Increases
in the cost o,f production.
Whatwill be the outcome of such
methods of extortiDS from the people
by taxation no HiB can predict. In
myyopinion it destroys respect of, if, in
deed. It does not really threaten the
security of tour institutions. . The bold
and brazen- manner in - which" special
privileges have been bestowed upon
favored groups Is certain to provoke
rather than allay the growing unrest
which America as well as the. rest of
the world is combating.
BECOMES MORAL ISSUE -
In view of the Indefensible, scandal
ous, selfish, pork barrel character of
this legislation, how much longer can
our law making bodies retain the con
fidence and respect of the American
public? It is time for a political revo
lution against such: methods and prac
tices. " ! 1 "
This bill has mads the tariff more
than a political issue. It has become
a great moral issue, i It is Immoral to
extort, whether done under the guise
of law ..or, in volation of law, "Thou
shalt not covet thy neighbors goods."
in a forarotten commandment. If the
public; cannot compel existing politi
cal organisations to live up to their
well known principles and platforms,
the people at least ; have the power to
drive out of control; any political party
that spongers and must assume the re
sponsibility of this iniquitous legisla
tion, i r
The unorganised ultimate consum
ers are again the-victims. How much
longer, can they indifferently and pa
tiently be commercialized ? Is It not
time for the ultimate consumers to Or
ganize and go on strike a political
strike? i

Officers of Spanish War Veterans
of Aledo, 111., is commander
on the political screen as an issue in
the next campaign. Chairman Cordell
Hull of the Democratic national com
mittee announced today that Demo
cratic speakers will be Instructed to
"expose the iniquities of the measure,
and to ly-ld the Republican iparty to a
strict accountability ; to the American
people, for a measure at once Indefen
sible in sound economics, and estimated
to take $3,000.000-,000 out of the pockets
of the American people in excess of
what they now pay for the necessaries
of life."
"It -will be a difficult task -for the
Republican party to explain to the
American people why $3,000,000,000 has
been added to their cost of living" said
Hull- "The special privilege confered
on the great manufacturing and in
dustrial and other interests of the
country under the provisions of the
bill are already being flaunted In the
faces of the American peaple, the con
sumers, in the form of newspaper ad
vertisement written in anticipation of
the high rates in nearly all of the
schedules. Tariff revision upward will
not appeal to the American people and
so the new administration measures
invited critical discussion at the out
set." Democratic campaign literature will
be immediately sent out dealing with
the tariff and it will become the para
mount issue from now on.
Particular emphasis will be laid on
the split in the Republican party on the
bill, which alienated the support of
Senators like Borahs Norris'and Lafol
lette. The three Democrats who voted
for the measure. Rand sell, Brpussard
and Kendrlck are not to be excused by
the Democratic national organization.
Senator McCumber, one of the
authors of the bill, has already chal
lenged the Democrats- to make it an
Issue. In his speech on - Saturday, he
declared the senators - votlmg for it
need seek no excuse for having done so.
"There is not art item In it that any
good Republican who is at heart a
protectionist cannot defend before any
person upon the face of the earth who
wants to get the truth, and who does
not desire to govern his course entirely
by his prejudices," he said, and added :
"TVe need no excuse for this bill." -

We got here all right. This morning the

what do you know about that!

When we sell the ranch, Joe, and move to

At least . four "or. the remaining- 21
primaries and conventions preliminary
to the general elections are featured
by the issue of -'Newberryism''. In
California, where Senator Hiram John
son is running for renomination at the
primary August 29, one of the points
being made against him is that he
failed to cast a vote when the senate
decided to seat Newberry.
In Wisconsin Senator.-Lafollette is
claiming support because of his vote
against Newberry.'. In Michigan, home
state of . Newberry, Representative
Patrick Kelley is opposing Senator
Townsend, using the latter'a vote to
seat Newberry as a means to defeat
him. -In New Jersey Senator FTeling

Hughes for judgment of the case, re
called that Hughes argued Newberry's
case before the supreme court, and that
"Mr. Justice Reynolds, a Democrat,
handed down the decision of the ma

and that Chief Justice White, a great
Democrat, a great chief justice and a
