WHAT THE TARIFF MEANS.
It has been almost twelve years
since there has been any tariff re
vision in the United States. \\ 1th
the exception of two or three trifling
changes uiade during the Spanish
American war and repealed after the
close of the war, the tariff has re
mained unaltered since the Dingley
act was approved by President Mc
Klnley on July 24, 1897. The Ding
ley act has had a longer life than
auy other tariff act, for the Walker
act of 1S46. which stands second in
point of duration, was superseded in
1837.
Within the past two years there
has been an Increasing agitation for
a revision of the tariff schedules of
the Dingley act. Nor has the agita
tion been confined to those who advo
cate free trade or a "tariff for rev
enue only." Many men who class
themselves as "protectionists" think
that many of the Dingley schedules
are excessive.
But until the last presidential cam
paign the "stand-patters" have re
sisted all attacks on the tariff. Aid
rich and his coterie In the Senate
and Cannon and his clique in th*.
House have defeated all attempts at
tariff legislation.
In the end political parties must
listen to the voice of the people. The
cry for tariff revision grew, particu
larly in the inlddK* west, and thus it
was that both the Republican and
Democratic parties promised to re
vise the tariff? before election.
As soon as the election of Mr. Taft
was assured, the Ways and Means
committee of the House announced
a series of hearings, which all per
sons Interested in tariff rates were
invited to attend and to express their
views. Naturally those most intereste
and consequently those who chiefly
accepted the invitation, were men
whose business and profits would suf
fer by a change of tariff rates. The
great mass of "consumers" had little
to say.
A special session of Congress was
called March 15 and Serene E. Payne,
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee, Introduced his tariff bill
which is intended to supersede the
Dingley act and which was probably
passed yesterday.
Prom the start it was evident that
the Republican leaders in the House
and Senate did not intend making any
sweeping reductions In the Dingley
schedules. As a matter of fact many
of the schedules are heavier than
before. The people had demanded re
ductions downward ? Congress is not
heeding that demand.
In defending this course Aldrlch
and Galllngher, exponents of "stand
pattlsm." had the tennerlty to an
nounce that the Republican party
never promised downward revision,
when, as a matter of record. Presi
dent Taft repeatedly promised be
fore election that the tariff schedules
would be reduced.
Taft will have the last word on
the tariff and If he falls to Insist
upon a reduction of the proposed
rates he will stand in the light of a
promise breaker. That he will chooso
this course hardly seems possible.
In fact in his New Haven speech sev
eral days ago he Intimated that the
Repnollcan party must heed the de
mands of t^e people.
Ley tariff rates are of vital Im
portance to every wage earner and
consumer in the United States. As
a general proposition It is safe to say
that a high protective tariff means
high* price* all along the line. It is
bootless to say that the country has
ROYAL A.GUNNISON
ATTORNEY AT LAW
P. O. BOX E. JUNEAU ALASKA
been prosperous in the main, that the
American working man enjoys a high
standard of living. The essential
point is that, under a high protective
tariff, American goods are ofi"it sold
abroad for much less the cost tuey
are at home, that competition in
many industries is stifled, that the
tariff is a tax on the pocket book of
every consumer which goes to enrich
a comparatively few industrial mag
nates. Not oue of these arguments
has ever beou successfully denied.
A high protective tariff is pernicious,
unjust, and economically unsound.
That it has been tolerated for so
long speaks poorly for the intelli
gence of the mass of American vot
ers and tells volumes of Congressional
corruption.
There are signs, however, which
seem to show that the people are
awake at last. The Republican
party is on trial. The tariff will tell
the tale and the tale will soon be
told.

Some people seem to regard divorce ;
as a sort of Illustrated supplement to
marriage.
Many people believe in economy, but
they don't all seem to be wise in the
way they economize.
Just why women seem to think that
men do not need much to eat during
the stress of houseclennlng time has
never been made quite clear.
Anybody has plenty of money who
has enough to keep the fun going.
When your purse and conscience are
fairly elastic you can sure have a good
time.
It Is really too nitioli to expect a ma\>
to keep his promise when he Is ad- I
dieted to giving It all the time.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Ub
Strong and Healthy.
All tho blood in tlio body passes
through tho kidneys once overy tliro
ndnutes. Tho kidueys filter the blood
They work nlgt and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 gralua
of impure matter dally, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
ttr is left in tho blood. This brings
ou many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in tho back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight aud
hearing, dizziness irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposit
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 669 Tesler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "it gives me
pleasure to confirm the statement I
gave for publication somo years ago
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
tho relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
tie aud though I used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
1 had tho most severe pains across
tho small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Fills helped mo at once and continue
uso entirely relloved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and havo recommended them oil
many occasions."
