TARIFF GRAFTERS.
President Roosevelt In on** of his
speches imult* during Ills famous
trip across the country In 190.' at
th** expense or PresIdentsCaftsatt **f
the Pennsylvania railroad, an Id:
We have in our -*cheme of govern
ment no room for the man who docs
not wish to pay his way through life
by what he does “
Yet. the most prominent feature of
some of our present scheme of gov
ernment^ as administered by the re
publican party, is •'protection,'’ so
called. Under this scheme of plunder
and favoritism, something like $ I ,
000,000,000 a year Is stealthily
transferred front the pockets of th**
masses to the pockets of the pro
tected classes. Nothing is given In
return for this billion dollars, ex
cept some transparent sophistry and
the opportunity to observe the dis
play of wealth on the part of the
protected borons, who remain In this
country or who leave philanthropic
Institutions behind them The pro
l**cted barons do nothing to pay their
way. except that they assume con
trol of the government whose edicts
fill their pockets with unearned and
undeserved tariff profits.
Yes. our scheme of government |v
on** of, for and by "grafters". Fifth
Avenue |s lined with those prote*
Mon drones. Their mansions Jim* nil

Th« world never before kiiw such
wealth an this privileged cla,-.s claims
title to. |t Is rather strange that
President Roosevelt, being a hlsto
Han and student, has not observed
Hint most patent fart. “Pay tlieli
way through life?’’ They no more
pay their way than did that poor
tramp who was scraped off the un
derside of Cassatt’s Presidential
train with n club, just before Roose
velt made that speech. Come to
think of it, were all those on the in
side of that gorgeous train paying
their way? Not one. Cassatt was
paying their way In return for mil
lions stolen from the people through
extortionate railroad rates, rehating
to the Trusts and favored shippers by
(the railroad ofTlelals.
