The Boston Poet," in its issue for
last Sunday, discourses at some
length and with considerable favor
on "The Man With the Dinner
Pail." Our Boston contemporary
submits thai those citlsens who were
induced by the "full dinner pail"
srgument to lend their aid to keep
the Republican party In power In
Washington are learning something
from the course of events since the
election. Although the pail may be
full tip to the present time, our ran-
temporary asserts that the man who
carries it has to pay more to keep It
in that plethoric condition. "The
sudden activity of trusts in putting
up prices Immediately after election"
is noted as " significant and omin
ous." The first of these offenders to
come In for scarification at the hands
or the Boston Post" ia "the great
Pennsylvania coal trust," which, It
says, did not wait lor election, but
advanced prices, "regardless of the
political situation." "The others,"
it say, "held off until the party cris
is was past, now they are putting on
the screws." The attention of the
man with the pail is etlled t Ihe al

' assuredly must know
that there is no duty on anthracite
coal. That commoility certainly 1
not a "favorite of the Republican
Tariff " ; The Bton Post" also
knows tb-t Congress has not, and,
under the Constitution of the United
Stitfo, ivii! 1 bot have, auyi'uiug io
do with Ihe coal combine. It knows
also that there Is not a Democrat in
Congress who is not bound by fidel
ity to his party's creed to oppose any
and tveiy movement looking to na
tional control of Slate corporations.
The Chicago beef trust comes next
on our contemporary's list of Tariff
Protected sinners. "This" we are
told, "is Ihe trust for whose benefit
hides weie taken off the free list,
where they bad been for a quarter of
a century and a Tariff tax was laid
upon the material of a great New
England industry, and upon the foot
wear of the man with the dinner
pail, his wife and his children." , '
That duty is 50 cents a hide and it
was ostensibly laid for the benefit of
the cattle raisers. 'It may be that
the members of the beet combine
profit by it more than -do the men
from whom they buy cattle, but it is
so insignificant a levy Ibat It is no
serious factor in the price of meat,
nor does it greatly enhance the cost
of footwear, 31111, if It Is really pro
motive of injustice, it might f well be
repeal d.
The Boston "Post" waxes eloquent
in its denunciation of the ?alt trust.
It says, among other things, that
"under Ihe Democratic regime salt
was on Ihe free list, and for Ibis reas
on a great variety of' tood priaincts
were available to fill the dinner pail
at reasonable prices. The Dlngley
Tariff placed a duty on salt, and as
soon as the salt trust finds this Tariff
made permanent by the election of a
Republican government, it puts up
the price of this necessary of life to
the top' notch that the 'Protection'
wi! stand." i v
1 II the Protection accorded to the
sail industry Is abused, the wrong
ehonld.tie abolished. The Washing
ton IVsl' is inimical to any and all
abuses of Protection. But It is ab
surd to speak of the price of salt as
having any great effect npon the cost
of a dinner, or even upon the ex
pense of subsisting the average fami
ly for a yewr.
But the mobt rldicunus of our Bos-
ion miitemuorsrv's complaints re
lates to Standard Oil. It is ture that
the price ol oil has been increased,
and it is also true that the combine
which. controls that business has
made aud Is making immense pro
fits. But the Boston "Post" knows
very well last there is no duty on
coal oil, and il is not ignorant of the
f ict that Congress has no right to in
