HIGHEST TAX IS PLACED ON THE

ORDINARY PEOPLE SUFFER
Warm Winter Clothing Literally
Taxed Off the Backs of the Poor
of Tills Country to Enrich the
Wool Barons.
The wool tariff fraud and the bloat
ed fortunes resulting therefrom have
one great advantage In every discus
sion. The wool tariff li ho Involved, so
' tangled, so OOnfueed und Intricate
that It can hardly be explained In
clear language The general results,
however, can be made cb-nr
The wool tariff, but a mixed-up
Obeine of Juggling, gets a total av
erage of duties running from tiu to
1 1 vi per rent on woolen clothing
The wool tariff taxes highest the
cheaper grades of woolen goods, which
people of ordinary means can buy.
The v. ool tariff taxes a garment hav
ing one vvool. n thread to the yard as
If it were all wool. This enables the
manufacturer to get hi cotton in a
free trade market, mix it with 1 per
rent of wool, and sell It In a market
protected by a luu per cent tariff
wall
The wool tariff has made woolen
clothing cost from one and One-half
to more than twice as much In Amer
ica us In Kngland.
The wool tariff has literals)' taxed
warm winter clothing off the backs
of the poor of this country.

The Essential Facts.
Carefully analyzing nil of Mr noose
vcit's various atatcmctejti In regard to
the Standard Oil contribution, wo
find the facts to be essentially as fol
low!: 1. The Standard Oil company nev
er contributed to his campaign fund
I. If the Standard Oil company did
contribute $1110.000 to his campaign
fund he never knew abou' It.
3. Ab soon as he heard of the
Standard Oil company s contribution,
he ordered the $100,000 returned.
4. The money wis not returned,
but If It had been returned Trick of
the steel trust would have mnde good
the deficit.
E Everybody Is a liar.
Not Striving for Free Trade.
Wilson says he Is not striving "for
irade or anything that remotely re--cmbles
free trade," because It Is Im
possible lo do away with Imposts so
long as the expenses of the federal
government must bo raised by Indi
rect fixntlon He does not object to
the protection that makes life easier
In America, but only to the tariff
srivllegei that make life harder. Ho
would clean the tariff schedules of nil
the lobby larcenies and the subsidies
of cunning and sloth

How Roosevelt's Good Friend, the
Steel Trust, Shows Zeal for
Sii.ii Justice.
"Wanted- Sixty two housemen, tin
ners, catchers and helpers to work
In open shop; Syrians, rules aud Rou
manians prclerred."
Who paid for that advertisement?
Was it some free-trade miscreant
v-te wants to break down the tariff
barrier that protects ui from the
1 super labor of Europe?
Was it some millionaire with a hard
face and a soft body, who sees In the
third-party third term candtdato a
menace to his swollen wealth?
Was It a bois, a mollycoddle, an un
desirable citllen, a member of the
Ananias club, a participant In tho
Standard OH conspiracy to cut down
campaign contribution!?
Ah, no.
That advertisement was published
gad paid for by Theodore Itoosevelt'l
grant and good friend, the steel trust,
and Is an exact measure of that trust's
fondness for American labor and zeal
for "soi l il and Industrial Justice. "
Why Not Wilson?
The American people want a presi
dent who hiiB had executive experi
ence and made good at It. Governor
Wilson Is such a man.
Tho American people want a presi
dent who has no trust nfllllatlons to
explain Governor Wilson meets this
requirement
The American people want a presl
i dent who will help scale down that
hoary old fraud of the tariff. Govor- !
nor Wilson will he such a president.
The Amerlrnn people want a presl- '
dent who rcRpcctn the constitution and
who know s that thin nation can make '
progress without destroying the con- j
j stltutlon Again, this describes Gov-
gnor wiison
The American people want a presl
i dent who Is free from entangling al- j
! llnnces with seekers of privilege. Ev- !
ery privilege seeker In the land Is op
noaad to Governor Wilson.
The American people want a presl
j dent who Is free and able to serve the
people, the whole people, and only the
! people. Governor Wilson In the only
praaldentlal candidate who meets that
requirement.
Why not elect Woodrow Wilson?
The Wilson Campaign Fund.
The tnlk about "huge contributions"
to the Wilson campaign fund fizzled
to a fitting end when Chalrmnn Mc
Combs of the Democratic national
committee testified yesterday before I
the senate committee.
While one bosB gave $177,000 to
Roosevelt's rampnlgn fund, and an
other $14t,000, and the contributions
to Tnft were seldom recorded tu less
than five figures, only three contribu
tors to Governor Wilson's campaign
gave over $10,000.
Governor Wilson Is the people's can
didate. He Is fighting for the people'!
cause, and the people ire financing
his campnlgn. They cinnot finance
It too well.
Mr. Wilson Is no enemy of big buil-neis--the
kind that growB big because
big men are behind It. He abhors the
kind of business that flatulent and
dropsical with fraudulent finance.
Where Hli Strength Llei.
Mr. Rooeevelt'! Instant profiting by
the labor troubles In the anthracite
region points with unmistakable di
rectness to the quarter where the
peril lies. Trouble, unrest, discon
tent, and disorder are the very sub
stance of hlB strength. New York
