WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Tariff and Why it Was Establish-
ed
This question can be answered
rnth one word-Tariff.
The tariff was originally em
ployed to meet the demands of
the Civil war. To raise war ex
penses the government found it
necessary to tax every article
manufactured in this country.
The manufacturers justly com
plained at this. They said these
U.xes were so heavy it would ruin
theiii. because they, could not
,uy the heavy internal taxes on
their products and meet foreign
t-c-'Petiiion. Foreign manufac
tures we. re driving Americans
, : their own markets by un
.: them,
w plan was deversed to pro
American manufacturers.
" v. e will place a tariff on all im
: . J articles, " said the govern-
... " 'which will put you on an
cvn or better than even fooling
-vii:i your foreign competitors."
Pwryone understood this pro
.'Hve system was to be buttem-
, to meet an unusual con-

Chicago, June 17.. All talk of
a compromise candidate on whom

counting noses, having decided
that they still hold control.
They accepted the assurance of
William Barnes, Jr., that he had
enough votes to elect Elihue Root
temporary chairman by 100.

the fact that Victor Kosewater,
chairman of the national com
mittee, consistently ruled out of
order every motion made by the
Roosevelt forces, it required
more than five hours to reach a
vote on the chairmanship.
The calling of the roll was be
set with difficulties from the very

Preparations are being made
to add $15,000,000 to the na
tion's coal bill this winter. Each
one of us must contribute our
prorata to the fortunes of the coal
barons. There is no reason or
justice for the extent of the in
increase, except that the million
aire coal kings want the money
and are in a position to make
the people either "come across"
or freeze.
The coal operators, who have
been forced to grant themineis
an increase in wages, which they
say will mean an additional cost
of $5,000,000 in labor, are going
to force the consumer to pay a
sufficiently hight price for coal to
enable them to stand this
crease, along with an additional
extoration of $10,000,000, which
will be clear profit to the trust.
Thus for every dollar in increas
ed prices that the coal operators
propose to collect this winter for
the miners, they have decided to
extort two dollars for themselyes.
All us helpless consumers have to
do is to pay the bill. Always, al
ways, its the consumer - who
pays! Washington Correspon
