WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Doings of Congress- -Democratic:
Measures and Po ie'es.
Ssecial Correspondence by C. H. Tavenner
Washington, April 15. The im
pression is Bkudily gaining ground
that the Democratic excise-income
a, which proposes to place upon
wealth a part of the burden of bus.
taining the fciverutnent. will pass
the Senate aud tue Wiiire House.
Senator Penrose, nn pretends to be
leader of toe utandotteri iu the Sen
ate, has iiittUo tne btaiciueut that
cone of the Democratic bills would
be allowed to pass the Senate, but it
is becoming more and more apparent
that Senator Penrose and those who
believe as he does no longer have the
power to "allow" certain measures
to pass, or prevent others from pass
ing. The truth is, a great m. ny of the
Senators, on both sides of the cham
ber, either because they are at last
frightened by the wave of protest
against the high tariff injustice, or
because they believe in the inherent
justice of the income tax measure,
havecome to look favorably ou the
mea.ure. A least there has been a
cessation of talk about the "uncon
stitutionality" of the bill, and since
this always has been the standpat
way of opposing all logical measures
the sign is considered a good one.
Nobody pretends t o know, of course,
what President Taft will do in the
event the bill passes the Senate and
reaches him, but from the amount
of populai approval that has been
accorded the measure, it is admitted
by even tue friends of the President
that a veto of this measure will
mean political suicide for him.
The present tar: ft law rases about
$330,000,000 a year in government
revenue. And for every dollar of
revenue turned into the United
States treasury it is estimated by
Democratic leaders in Congress who
have studied the question from every
possible angle, that the tariff barons
put five into their own pockets in
the form of loot. In other words,
the tariff gives these beneficiaries the
right to collect five dollars in tribute
for every dollar the government col
lects iu revenue.
This condition is alone responsi
ble for tbe horde of mushroom mil
lionaires in this country. Oa every
hand the people pay tribute.
In tbe past the tariff barons have
urged a tariff for two principle rea.
sons. 1 irst, they pretended that
they wanted to protect American
workingmen. That this argument,
which the Republican protectionists
listened to with a willing ear for the
past sixteen years, is a farce, pure
and simple, has been proven by the
Democrats at this session of Con.
gress, chiefly through the various
investigations into trust methods.
Secondly, the trusts urged that in no
other way could revenue to support
the government be collected.
Having disposed of the first argu
ment, the Democrats, through the
zcise-income tax bill, hive offered
a solution of the other alleged diffi
culty. The Democratic party be
lieves there is another way to meet
the expenses of government, and
that that way lieB through an in.
come tax. And pn the merits of
that belief the party is going to ask
for national support next November.
Two Irresistible Measures.
The bill repealing the tax on
sugar, which will reduce the price
to the consumer two cents a pound
if the measure is enacted into law,
and the bill to place a tax on all in
comes in excess of $5,000 a year,
are two of the most important meas.
ares passed by the House of Repre
sentatives in the last 25 years.
.These sister bills, conceived and
framed by Democratic committees,
were so good, in fact, that 80 Repub
licans were forded to vote for them.
"Forced to vote for them" is the
correct expression, because the Be
futlicans refused steadfastly when
in power to pass" inch legislation, or
v:3 to consider it, but when the
De mocrats forced them to tote one
r: 7 or the other, they were afraid

ths watch trust, recently sect to
each member of Congress an elab
orately prepared booklet, described
as "A Report Oa tbe Relative Cost
of Producing Watch Movements in
America and European Countries."
The whole argument of the booklet
centers aroun an attempt to prove
that it costs more in this country to
produces watch than it dots abroad,
because of the '-higher labor cost. "
. While dedicated to watohes, tbe
report devotes two pages to showing
tne difference iu wages in other lines,
the general purpose being to demon,
strate that wages, in all lines of in
dustry, are higher in America than
they are in Europe. Following is
one of the tables of figures :
England. America.

Bookkeepers, $7.75 $20.79
Clerks, 4 70 13.75
Bricklayers, 9.10 31.20
Teamsters, 6.00 12.00
Watchmen, 6.48 15.00
Carpenters, 8 85 27.25
Painters, 8 16 21.80
A study of the above column be
comes doubly interesting when it is
Been that every one of the occupa

ctuntry the "America! wage" and

nuke all the noise about "protect
mg" American labor, and yet it is
only the unprotected labor of this
country which really enj wa an ad.
vantage over the labor of Europe ,in
tho matter of wages.
The Democrats have proven at
this session of Congress that the
tariff trusts share none of their loot
witb their own laborers, and the
watch trust "slipped a cog" when it
cited tbe high wages of unprotected
American workers as a reason for
maintaining the present high tariff
on watches.

Roosevelt Doing Good.
The N. Y. World was never more
right when it says that tbe nomina
tion os Mr. Roosevelt for President
wonld be a great calamity, but his
0 ;mpaign for the nomination is a
great public benefit. He is shaking
up tbe dry bones of fossilized re.
sptctability. He is scaring the Re.
publican party out of its snug self
complacency. He is driving it down
tbe road of political progress in
spite of itself, and the further he
drives it the better.
The Republican party can no
longer stand pat. It is obliged to
move with the procession and "pan
der to tbe moral sentiment of the
community," as Fernando Wood us
ed to say. Tbe Rochester Conven
tion furnishes o'nly one illustration
out of many of the excellent results
of Mr. Roosevelt's dash for the
White House.
It is a far more representative con
vention than would have been held
had not Mr, Roosevelt tried to seize
a third term. It is a far more pro
srressive convention. It will come
closer to meeting the real issues of
American politics. It is thinking
much more about tne American peo
ple and much less about the Wall
street contributors to the campaign
fund than it wcu Id have done had
not Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy
threatened the country with political
disaster.
The national platform will be a
better platform than it would have
been if Mr. Raosevelt had kept out
of the contest. A better platform
at Chicago will force a better plat,
form at Baltimore. The Democrat,
ic party will have to keep up with
the procession if it wants to win.
The battle for the maintenance of
our Republican form of government
has been fought and won. Mr.
RcoBevelt's third-term candidacy
has collapsed. His patent.medicine
remedies have been repudiated by
the cammon sense of the American
people; but the real issues remain.
Popular discontent does not end
vmh the downfall of Mr. Roosevelt's
ambition i r with the repudiation of
his spuiious noBtrumj. Tariff abus.
ee, corporation abuses, fiaancial
abuses, court abuses, boss rale and
privilege int.enched behind the law
these are all vital questions
grounded in real public wrongs. Mr
Koosevelt's campaign has shown even
the Bourbons of American politics
that thesa issues can no longer be
ignored but must be dealt with, or
this country will elect Roosevelt or
worse than Roosevelt. Let them
dispel all illusions about that.

FRAUD IN BEING SICK.
Ill Health is No Longer Fashion
ble it is Frequently a Disgrace.
It is no longer considered honor.
abU, polite, or the correct thing to
ke sic and ailing. It was, thirty
years ago, in some parts of the conn
try. la the social world it used to
be considered effeminate, dainty, and
rtfined to be in "ill-health," "to be
delica'e," or ''just been sick all win.
ter." This UBed to elicitexpressions
of genuine sympathy from the hear
erf; but it does not any more. We
have sassed that state. Nw, when
we hear such tolk we suspect one or
two things; either thut the chronic
grunter or the chronic would-be. sick
is faking and offering a flimsy excuse
for some negligence or nonperform
ance of duty, or else, if he should
really happen to be sick, that such
a plea is an open admission that in
nine cases cut of ten he has been
guilty of violating some of nature's
fundamental laws; that he has not
bathed regularly, exercised properly,
nr that he has eaten eluttonously or
d sobayed some other equally simple
fundamental law ot neaun.
Ill-health, say what you will, in
dicates in a mai rity of cases the
lack of will power or purpose to
maintain f undamentaljhabita in re
gard to eating, drinking, attending
the cal s of nature regularly, Darn
ing, and proper exercise in the open
air and sunlight. Being sick is fast
coming into disrepute these d'tys,
fur the simple reason thai thinking
people have seen that tuis thing ol
being sick is really disgracesul. They
are. therefore, inclined to keep it
a secret if they feel badly, have a
headache, or some such minor ail
ment that indicates that s:me laws
of health have been disobeyed.
On the other hand, it is strongly
presuming upon the credulity of
another to deliberately offer '"the
sick plea" as an excuse for the non.
ferformance of duty, lnis is now
looked upon largely as a negro ruse,
and to try to perpetrate such a trick
or deception upon any thinking per.
son is an inBulr.
But there is one unre side to this
question of being everlastingly sick
und ailing. It is this: You can
not hold ill health thoughts, or dis
ease thoughts, in the mind without
actually having them outpictured in
the body to a certain extent. Every
body knows it is impossible for a
person to remain absolutely pure,
who habitually hoi Is pictures of
impurity in the mind; so it is just
as impossible to be healthy wnile
continually asserting and holding
forth the disease thought. Ou the
other hand, the autosuggestion
that we are net sick, that we are well,
that we are not downcast, that we
are happy, anil so on, has buoyed up
many a person who otherwise would
soon have been really sick or de
spondent. '
To sum the world mc tter up, one
can be either sick or well, to a very
lare extent, by just continually as
serting to one's self and hearers
that he iB sick or well. Certain peo
ple have found so much truth in
this principle of auto-suggestion
that they have founded a religious
sect that believe in healing entirely
by this method. While we do not
advocate taking this advanced
ground, yet there is so much truth
in the principle that we cannot too
strongly urge abandoning the old
idea of beinf everlastingly sick and
ailing when we really are not.
