No sooner was Harding Inaugur! I i k The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co. ated thnn tho protected interests swarmed upon Washington ms the locusts swarmed upon Egypt. They bmlllv declared. "We won the election and we are entitled to the rewards." STATESMAN MARCH 10. 1929 They asserted that they desired to rotaln tho than high war prlcea, and that tho government should make that possible by a high tariff. In truth, their money and Influ- ence had largaly brought about the election of Mr. Harding. Their insolent demande, therefore, fell upon receptive ears. From tha first they had the barking of Mr. Mellon and of ths president. Their orders were obeyed to the letter. Tariff rates were raised to a point never before deAnd this was done for manded. tha express purpose of holding the American manufactured price of products of tha warlevel. This Infamy was consummated at a time when the American farmer, whoso prices had been regulated down by Mr. Hoover during tbs entire war, was compelled to sell hie surplus upon the bankrupt markets of Europe and the price of tha surplus, of course, fixed the level of the domestic market. Thus, from that day to this tho farmer has boen compelled to pay an unnatural and unjust price for everything he purchases and to sell In a market where ha Is not Permitted to buy. Although the farmer constantly produces a surplus for export and himself can reoelv no substantial protection from an Import tax. these tariff beneficiaries four years ago hyprocrlttcally pretended that they woudl relievo tha farmer by putting a tariff upon farm products Of course, the tariff did not produce the promised results. The farmer had asked for broad and was given stone. Nevertheless these same gentla-me- n continue to pretend they desire to aid tha farmer. But ask them to reduce tha tariff upon those manufactured articles which tha farmer and ether people must buy that Is, ask them to give the farmer a purchasing market, and you will find how Insincere ere their protestations of flrandshlp. Ask them to permit organisations of farmers which sell their products abroad to purchase In the market where they sell, goods of e'qual value and Import them free of duty, and you will find every stand-pe- t Republican In opposition, and leering OTer hie shoulder will bo tha protected manufacturer Insisting that the sacred tariff shall not be touched. That tariff they propose to maintain, although last year they shipped more than $4,000,000,008 of manufactured . goods out of tha country, sold them In the open markets of tho world and at prlcea from 25 to 60 per cent less than were exacted from the Amorican people. These gentlemen regard the nt as an agency to extract people for their benefit. It Is not the occasion for wonder that aa the conspiracy of Interested capitalists and crooks had nominated a president they demanded and received the fruits of their toll. Bribery. , Fall waa promptly placed In of tho charge department of the Interior. Tho president signed an illegal order turning tho oil lands over to tha tender mercies of Albert B. Fail. He (Fall) accepted the bribes of the conspirators, did their bidding and corruptly transferred to certain of them the vast oil reserves of the republic, The scaly hands of the conspirators reached Into the navy department and corrupted or deceived certain of Its high officers. The first act of Coolldgs was to approve the policies of the Harding administration. A senatorial exInvestigation posed the Infamous oil transactions. In its sfforta to ascertain the facta and bring the criminals to book tha senate committee received no assistance from the Coolldge administration. Harding appointed and Coolldge continued at the head of tha department of Justice Harry M. Daugherty a creature covered with the leprosy of corruption. H consorted with criminals and took aa hla a grafter and a bribetaker, who afterwards money from the American fed-fello- suicided. As attorney-genera- l. Daugherty paralysed the department of Justice so that its ami wee not stretched forth to apprehend Fall end his fellow conspirators. Indeed, the ferret rode of the government waa used by a White House employe to keep the malefactors advbied. Whilst the senate committee under three adverse conditions was laboring to expose tha oil lend frauds, Coolldge never lifted a hand. Ho remained ae mum and inactive as a Boston oyster stranded on tho beach in the month. of August. Tha Indignant demand of tho senate that the president compel the resignations of Daugherty and Denby was contemptuously rejected hy the president. He publicly stood In thrlr defense and majestically assorted ha would not permit hie presidential prerogative to he Impaired by a presumptuous senate. In the face of overwhelming evidence Daugherty was retained until the biaxe of public Indignation grow so hot that Coolidge was obliged to hark away from the fire. Ha then demanded Daugherty's resignation upon an Insufficient and Immaterial ground, hut certified to the integrity of the arch villain Daugherty. All this occurred when every Informed man knew of the gross fraud perpetrated unn tha government fraud which have ainco been Judiciously declared bv tha supreme court nf the United States. In what has hern said In round the reason why every Interest seeking advantage by law nr through the administration of ths government haa constantly aligned Iteeif with our opponents. These Interests regard campaign contributions as mere option purchases of tha government. They are willing to advance large ruins of money In the certain eg. pectstlon that they will rolled a hundredfold when they have gained control of the government. Accordingly, for years they have pursued ths same policies It was Matt Quay, who sa chairman of the Republican national committee, declared he proposed to "fry the fat nut of the prate ted manufacturers." It was Dudley, secretary of th Republican national cuniml'te. who gathered an Immense corruption fund and directed that "floaters" he gathered, organised, and voted In "blocks-of-flve- " in doubtful states. It was Mark llanna who levied a tribute upon the protected In'er-ceso great that the money coitld not be economically expended, lie literally flooded the election pterin eta with gold. Ug bull-d- o sod ls Ea and coerced whore hs could not purchase. Ho carried his corrupt methods Into tha Republican convention and bought almost openly ths colored delegates from- - tha southern states. It waa tha Republican national committee that sought In tha Harding campaign to ralM a fund of from II to 20 millions of dollars. It waa three or four prominent managers of that party who gathered In a room with King of Connecticut to put up nn unconscionable fund for Gen. Wood. It was' one of their burning and shining lights, Lowden of Illinois, of tho Pullman Car company, now "ths farmers' friend and defender of tha oppressed," who put up $15,500 to control tho Missouri delegation to tha national convention.. It was Mellon who left the president's cabinet to declare publiclv In tha state of Pennsylvania tlT tho president desired ths renomln-atlo- n of George Wharton Pepper to tha United States senate. waa Mellon who, with hla It brother and nephew, organised tho scheme to raise $2,000,000 to corruptly secure tha re nomination of Senator Pepper. It waa Mellon, hla brother and nephew who had mad Initial contributions of $76,000 to that fund. It was that group of patriots who perfected tha organisation which collected nearly $408,000 from n single Pennsylvania manufacturer, who testified ha expected to "gat It all hack but did not know Just who from," and which caused hug uina of money to be toted about tha state of Pennsylvania at nlgtif In hand-griand satchels. It was that aam group which hired from 25,000 to 60.000 alleged "watchers" In the city of Philadelphia at $10. a head. Clearly, the purpose wae to purchase the votes of these miserable wretches. sun-in-la- w It the was Mellon group that serenely watched ae the line of grafters and crooks approached the pay window to receive the prlc4 of their infamy. It waa Mellon's group that declared that Vara was wholly unfit for public office and that hie election to the senate would be a pub' Ho calamity: but when Vara, by a combination of booso issues and ballot manipulations, won tha nom lnatlon. Immediately coneorted with Varo and organised to eor summate the Infamy hy sending him to tho United 8tatea senate. It was this same Andrew W. Mellon, who. as a member of the eablnet and almost from the step of the White House declared that the contributions mads and the moneys expended were ae justifiable aa subscriptions to ths ChurcS of Almighty God. Tho sanctimonious unction with which this blasphemy waa utwrad ought to arous tha Jealous rags of all hypocrites and betrayers who have cursed the earth from the days of Judas Iscariot to Bose Tweed, and from Bose Tweed to Albert B. Fall. And yet, Mellon as a member of the cabinet stands astride the government. Commissions are packed by Interested parties and their attorneys, so that Instead of being guardians of tho publie they have become Instruments of oppression and wrong, and tho president chooses to do ths packing. Tha tariff commission was ao packed. A majority of honest men war prepared to report that tha tariff on sugar ought to b reduced. Th Tha report waa suppressed. commission waa packed by placing upon It a man whoso family was financially Interested In th sugar business. Th coal producers of West Virginia and Kentucky wars supplying a largo region naturally contiguous to. their mines. This did not suit tha great Pennsylvania coal barons. They sought to have tha railroad tariff raised upon tho Kentucky and West Virginia coal. Th railroads protested. Insisting that th rates war was sufficiently high. Tha contestcomcarried through th Interstate merce commission. That body waa decided against any change. Tha terms of one of tho commissioners so holding was about to expire. Coolldge appointed a man financially and otherwise Interested It the Pennsylvania coal companies. Tho senate rejected his name. But the Pennsylvania coal producers did not cease their battle and non obstanto the action of the senate worked their will upon tha commission. The Interstate Commerce Commission has very recently reversed Its decision, granted the demands of the Pennsylvania coal barons and enjoined the carriers from the fields Virginia Kentucky-Wefrom reducing their rates. This has been done for no purpose except to give an arbitrary advantage to tha Pennsylvania coal companies, and It haa dona so against the protest of the railroad. The decision Is of sinister Import. The decision annuls the natural advantages of location. Its effect is to Increase the; price of coal to millions of people. It Is the last word In governmental favoritism. It Is the high point of bureaucratic misrule, and can only he described as Infamous. One of the first acta of the Wilson Administration was to drive the organised lobby from the repltol.
