It must tax for this purpose. For
the government to tax one man’s prop

to legalize robbery. Tariff taxation,
however, although limited to revenue
purposes is apt to and generally will
affect the industries that are taxed,

That New York man who Is being

make a fortune by establishing a cor
respondence school and explaining Ills J also declares for n general lowering
that he was unorthodox on the tariff.
Mr. llrantley went Into the subject
at soino length during his Interview,
during the courso of which he said:
"To speak of me ns a protection
ist, because I voted for a small rev
enue duty on lumber, the same being
only about 0 per cent advalorem, la
absurd. If all rhe schedule* In tho
Payne Aldrich law were like the lum
ber schedule, the law would be a sim
ple revenue law. The effort of sev
eral sections and interests not con
cerned with lumber to cover up the
favoritism and high protection they
enjoy by singling out for criticism,
the Democratic votes for a revenue
on lumber will not fool many peo
ple. That tho present lumber duty
Is a revenue duty has Just been dem
onstrated by tho proposed Canudlan
trade agreement, under which It ap
pears that almost ono-tmrd of the
yearly revenue that the United States
III give up, or uhout one and a half
mllltion dollars, arises from the lum-
duty. Tho Democratic party
stands for a revenue duty, and so the
lumber duty is strictly Democratic lit
principle. It Is true that the Denver
platform calls for free lumber, but it
standoff system in a series of lessons
by mail.
There will bo enough candidates
for that senatorial vacancy to cause
a deadlock la the legislature and then
the Hon. Hoke Smith will win the
prize, although he Is not a candidate.
And then we will ha\e to elect a
new governor.—Dai ten Gazette.
Tho reply of Editor Chas. U. Pen

written and argued and should he pre

ishes the series we hope that he will
publish the articles lu bods or r-
of nil the tnrlff schedules. Presuma
bly one of tho Justifications for the
free lumber plank was the other
planks proposing that the people in
the lumber sections, as in all other
sections, should buy all their sup
plies lproe cheaply. I found mysolf
In a Republican House, where the
majority refused to recognize tho
Denver platform or to enact it into
law. I found the tariff schedules gen
erally being increased, nnd not de
creased, as the Denver platform de
manded. Under ihcso circumstances,

The amount of the protection will de
pend upon the amount of the tax, and
In particular cases upon the partic
ular conditions existing. This being
true, I believe that tariff taxation,
while it should be as small as is con
sistent with the needs of the Govern
ment, should be as general as pos
sible, covering as many articles as
possible, whether called raw material
or finished product, so that Its bur
dens will not only be generally dis
tributed throughout the land, there
by reducing them to all, but so that
Its boneflts, whatever they may be.
will bo distributed In the same way.
T^ere should, of course, be a free
list, but it should,«be small and lim
ited to tho greatest .necessities. Tar
iff taxation ennetod on this principle
wtfbJd he Just to. the Government, by
providing sufficient revenue, and
would be just to all Interests and all
sections, for It would allow no room
for favoritism or discrimination.
"The pending canndlan trade agree-
en Is violative of this principle and
of my Ideas on raw- material, because
it makes raw material free, while
leaving the producer of taw material
to pay taxes on what he buys. 1 op-
po-ed Its adoption by our Democratic
caucus upon this ground, nnd urged
that we at least defer action until
our newly elected Ways and Means
Committee could critically examine
the agreement and know all that It
does. The action of the caucus, of
course, suspends my opposition so
long as it stands. I.cft to my judg
ment. I would never make all the
products of the farm and forest free

agreement docs, nor would f place on
the free list all the products of the

Representatives, and Is objectionable

"What complications with othei
countries may arise by our discrimi
nating n favor of Canada, I do not
know. The traditional Democratic
policy has been to treat all countries
alike, and thereby avoid trouble.
"In the support of the agreement,
it is to be said that it has divided
the Republican party, and this is a
hopeful sign for real tariff revision
in the future."

exactly. Mrs. Charles Kline, N. 8th

use of Foley’s Honey and Tar and t
am never without a bottle ln the

irritation ln the throat and loosens up
