TARIFF REVISION.
There will be a special session of|
congress on Marcu 13 to revise our |
present tariff schedules. In his Inau
gural address President Taft stated |
that the tariff tuust be revised an?l
that he would see that the pre-elec
tion pledges of the republican party
were carried out.
There has Ions been a crying need
for tariff revision in the United
States Our present tariff schedules
work an Injustice to nearly every
small manufacturer, merchant and ecu
sumer in the country. About the only
bencficierles are the big corporations. ,
who for years have cart fully con
trolled tariff making
Our tariff exists for two purposes )
Or.e is revenue. The other is to pro
tect American industries. But the
average man fails to jrasp the iuipor
tance of fostering American Industrie
at the expense of the wage earner
For instance, sewing machines can b
shipped to England and sold at on<
third less than they ;.re In the Unite*
States, after the freight and English
duty has been paid. This is or.e glar
ins example. Another significant fact
is that all imports from the Hhilippin
Island are admitted free to the United
States except tobacco and sugar. Na
turallv the tobacco and sugar trusts
objected to these commodities being
put into competition with them and
they had the last word.
The question of the tarif: is a com
plicated one; tut it is safe to say
that our unreasonable and often ab
surd tariff schedules have increased
the living expenses of the people 01
tht* United States at least one-third
in the past twenty years without
causing a relative wage increase.
It's about time we cease protecting
"infant industries" whtch are more
than one hundred years old. The peo
Pie of the United States want to see
a reasonable tariff, one that will not
favor the trusts at the expense of the
pie. If the republican party does not
make good on its pledges. 1912 may
see another party in power. For the
tariff, next to gambling in stocks,
bonds, securities, and other market (
productions, is the chief cause for,
our present financial depression.
The selection of Isaac Stephenson
to represent Wisconsin in the United
States senate is another good argu
ment in favor of the election of
United States senators by the people.
Stephenson was elected largely by th
liberal use of money. His record is
a bad one and he could never have
been chosen had the people beeu giv
en a direct voice.
Thousands of easterners will be at
the A.-Y.-P - exposition this summer.
By the aid of judicial advertising and
with little expense many of these peo
pie could be brought to Skagway.
The Chamber of Commerce should
take this matter up before it is too
late.
The last congress was in a gener
ous mood. Not only did It boost the I
the salary of the president to *73.000
per annum, but all the federal judges
were given a raise.
?
The proposition to build a spur
railroad to Denver Glacier is cer
talnly feasible and one that will be
of great benefit to Skagway. Help the
good work along.
Representative Humphrey of the
state of Washington is one of the
best friends that Alaska has iu con
gress.
Health and happiness go hand in
band.

bard."
