By Clyde H. Tavenner Washington
Correspondent of The Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 13. The
Payne-Aldrlch-Smoot Urlff revision
was upward! It was upward by ap
proximately 1.71 per cent! It has
already resulted In increased prices
all alonr the line!
Thus did Champ Clark of MIsjou-
rl, leader of the Democratic In the
House of Representatlrea, thunder
his reply to the speeches of Presi
dent Taft and other Republican
lenders who hare attempted to feed
the public on the assertion that the
Payne-Aldrich bill "'was the beat
tariff bill" ever passed.
Mr. Clark's speech had been care
fully prepared. It was a complete
and effective answer to the countless
less bald misrepresentations that
have been manufactured by the Re
publicans, who are desperately In
need of campaign material of any
sort for use In the approaching Con
gressional elections.
The minority leader , denounced
the proposed appropriation of $250,-
000 of the people's money for the
purpose of enabling the Republi
cans to gather data with which to
prove that the new tariff law is a
God-send to the country.
He denounced the joker In the
sugar schedule. He deplored a
condition which permits the steel
trust and other monopolies to sell
their manufactured products cheap
er to foreigners than to Americans.
In short, -Mr. Clark's speech will go
down as one of the great Democrat
ic keynotes of this session of Con
gress. "It is true," admitted Mr. Clark,
"that we reduced the duty on lum
ber, and that the lumber trust mark
ed up the price of lumber $1 per
thousand feet before the last of us
got out of Washington; and if the
department of justice had done its
duty it would by this time have 'fill
ed the jails bo full of lumber tru3t

celled 1 absolutely when, by his si
lence he became a party to an at

probably treacherous to Balllnger
and Balllnger' plan ' for turning
over Alaska coal land to the Morgan-Guggenheim
syndicate. But it
I difficult to see how he waa treach
erous to the public in whose serv
ice he wai employed.
"The new tariff classifications In
the cotton" schedule," say Senator
Dolllver, Republican, ' "operate to
Increase dutfes very materially on
most cotton cloth used for women's
and children' summer wear, and on
all mercerised cottons, figured cur
tain and upholstery goods, etc. In
fact, the Aldrlch revision of this
schedule was one of the most dar
ingly inqultous features of the new
tariff. The production of agricul
tural implement I largely in the
hands of a trust, and the trifling re
duction of 5 per cent on these pro
ducts was merely for the purpose of
attempting to fool the farming
community."
In his speech on the tariff Champ
Clark, of Missouri, declared that If
President Taft bad vetoed the
Payne-Aldrlch-Smoot bill, he could
have written hie name among the
country's greatest benefactors.
"But he let the golden opportunity
go by unimproved," added the mi
nority leader, "and it will never re
turn to him as long as the grass
grows or water runs."

Outwitting the Enemy.
When General Cornwallla march
ed on Yorktown to besiege It, Mrs.
Nelson, the governor's wife, with
her young children, fled to the up
per country. Her carriage driver,
Jimmy Ridout, had his horses shod
at night with the shoes reversed, so
that if they were followed their pur
suers might be misled.
When love Is practised and reveal
ed, strife Is done away; when truth
Is practised and revealed, the foun
dations of enmity and division are
destroyed. Men contend with one
another for victory; they strive to
subdue other cults In order that
their own may predominate; but the
wise man conquers by not contend
ing; he strives to put away self In
order that Truth may dominate; he
puts away strife-and enmity, and
exercises the spirit of love.

Although the colossal sum of $5,
000,300 Is carried hy the sundry
civil' appropriation bill for the main
tenance of soldiers' homes, the Re
publicans are forcing the old sold
iers of the nation to subsist on from
11 to 14 cents cents worth of food
per aay. An inspector or tne war
depafment reported that the food
in the soldiers' homes was no more
in quantity than that supplied to
prisoners In the federal penitentlar
ies. An Idea of the wasteful ineth
ods employed In conducting the
homes 'may be had from the fact that
although the cost of ' maintenance
more than doubled in the 10 years
between 1898 and 1908, the num
her "of soldiers cared for had In
creased but 7 per cent. ' "Let your
Imagination spread this outlay of 14
cent over a day's " food supply,

Ohio, "and you " nave "kn accurate
