The aval age tariff on these manufactures
is something more than 40 per cent. It
won't do to declare and assert and reiter-
ate that the tariff has nothing to do with
this discrimination against American
consumers; eyery intelligent voter knows
better; and be knows farther that these
manufacturers are authorized (bus to
plunder.tbe American consumers so that
the beneficiaries will oontribute liberally
to tbe republican campaign fund. That
is, every consumer ot these and a long

but tbey need not suppose that this will
be an indorsement of this gigantlo sys

What the American People Drink.
In tbe year specially covered by the
cenBUB oi 1000 the United Statea pro
duced 1,325,358,094 gallons of whiskey
wine and malt liquors, valued at $310,

turned out only 514. OH 463 In products.
When one reuv mljore the apparent age

Reunblii-an altrmpts to minimize tho
injur cauoe J lo the par y by tho show
iusol the discount etieels ol certain
American truBta, these price hale pioviiiK
that tho tiuat products are sold tar
cheaper in Europe than in thiB country,
are chiefly ootatile lor an evasion of the
truth which in lieelf amouota to con-
ItBiiOU.
The statenent that American tin-plate
manufacturers are making money does
not by any means explain why their tin
plate trust should charge American buy
era J4.19 per 100 pounds, while they
charge European buyers only $3.19 per
100 pounds. It merely explains why
they have grown tremendously rich and
inioient, that is all. The American peo
ple are oppressively taxed to this end.
Neither I'ooi the assertion that tbe J
value of live stock has increased justily
the manufacturers of barbed wire in
charging American consumers $o per
100 pounds for wire that is sold to Euro'
peun buyers at $2 per 100 pounds
The fact that tbe American people are
prosperous does not excuse the trueta for
making American buyers pay $12 per
coil for wire rope tbat is sold to Euro
pes a buyere for $5 per coil; nor for
charging Americans $100 for typewriters
tbat are sold to Europeans for $55; nor
for obliging American women to pay $40
for sewing machines tbat are Bold to
European women for J17; nor lor exact
ing from Americans $4 .25 for lawn mow-
(us that are sold to Europeans for 2.7 .
TheBO contrasts are of a nature to sink
deep into the American mind. Tbey
convince tbe American people tbat the
Dingley tariff is a mighty good thing for
tbe trusts and a mighty had thing for the
American people.
Tbie great truth should indeed become
fixed in American minds. The high
protective tariff has created the monop
oly truste that now constitute the great
est evil in American life. The tariff con
tinues to enrich tbe trusts by exacting a
tax tribute from tbe people . It certain
ly is not oi benefit to tbe American peo
ple to pay far more for American manu
factures than foreign peoples pay for tbe

Figures lurniebed at theTreaB'iry de

nl the new fiscal year indicate that a

I( is a greot rebel to tbe people of "

played a star part in a great tragedy, and
established a new record as a criminal,

no escaping outlaw ever took such a
course as he did to escape. It worked
for a while but it was sure to fail iu the
end. Had he displayed greater eecrcey

Washington, Aug 4, 1902.
The report made by S;creiary of tbe
Treasury Shaw for the month of July la
in aicoMaaea with tbe predictions made
in these letters some months ngn. The
deficit for the month waa a little over f 7,-000.000-
Some of the best informed offi
cials of the Department p'ece the deficit
for next month at $4,000,000 and predict
tbat they will increaae coutlnuoualv Irom
taattimson. While the cause of this
deficit ia partially due to tlu rapaal of
the War revenue taxes, it is even n-ore
due to the high tariff which bas lesulted
in a falling off of imparts and a propor
tionate decrease in customs receipts. It
is claimed that ins'de knowledge of tbe
affairs of the government prompted Sec
retary Shaw, at the last minute, to throw
the weight of his infl ience Iu favor of
the tariff revision plank in tbe Iowa
plitform, for he bas come to appreciate
that a reduction ol the duties will in
crease imports and more revenue will be
paid into the- treasury . On the otner
hand, now that Iowa has declared her
sentiment in favor ol revision, tbere sb
likely to.be an effort on tbe part of the
administration to belittle the importance
of the Iowa declaration. Pas. experi-
ence.haa taught tbe treasury offlo ialu
tbat the prospect of tariff reduction is in
variably accompanied by a reduction of
imports as tbe importers reduce their or-
ders to the smallest possible figure In or.
dernottobe caught altar the change

trusts while the other leaders of the par
ty will solicit oampaign funds and will
asjure;tbe trust magnates tbat the Fresl
dent's utterances are all for political ef
fect because tbe respected public must be
fooled to keep it contented. Mr. Little-
field will play tbe role ol sphinx and will
say nothing while tbe reporters are kept
guessing an to what are his plans. With
tbe fall campaign out ot tbe way, atten
tion will be turned to bracing up the
treasury receipts and possibly some brief
tariff bill, which will bays tbat end sole
ly in view, will be passed, Tbe pnblic
will not forget, however, to inquire oc
casionally as to tbe location of tbat huge
surplus which was going to build Pana

Mr, Powell Clayton, United states Am
bassador to Mexico, has at last been
forced to admit his connection with tbe
El Carmen Mining Company, a connec
tion be has long denied. Some timearo,
the Stale Department called tbe atten
tion of the Ambassador to tbe fact tbat
he was charged with being pecuniarily
interested in IhlB company, and Mr.
Clayton came to Washington and etai d
to tbe President tbat hn held a few
BhareB in tbe company, but tbat they
were held in trust for a relative, who
was herself unable to prqtect hie inter
ests, and bad tranaferied herstock to him
for that purpose'" Mr. Clfcvlon now ad
mits that he is a actual holder of 100
Bharee, and ie a director in the company,
Thia admission is moat significant in the
face of the charges brought against Clay
ton, end incidental!? against the solid
tor for the State Department, by Senator
Bailey, and which resulted in a personal
encounter which occuned between Sen
ators Bailey aud Beveridgo. It will be
remombered that Senator Bailey charged
that Ambassador Clayton had practical
ly refused to protect tbe rights of one
Br. Scott against the dining company
above named ; that the presumption was
that be had done so because he was a di
rector of tbat company, and tbat Solici
tor Penfield bad suppressed certain pa
pers in order to protect Clayton and de
'eat Scott. The admission of Clayton at
this late date and after a denial of (be
actual facie, has been made to tbe Presi
dent, constitutes a victory for Senator
Bailey and places Senator Beveridge and
the officials of the State department in a
most emoarassing position. It ia also
significant tbat none of the daily papers
in making public tbe etatement ol tbe
Ambassador, refer to the connection of
the admission to the charges made by
Senator Bailey on the floor of tbe Sen
ale. Senator Hanna has been speaking on
the relations ol labor and capital. Han
na it a representative oi the trusts ol the
country, and whatever he may Bay will
not be taken seriously by many people,
