VOL. XIV. LABOR DOES NOT FORGET TOP. WILSON'S ANTAGONISM TO ORGANIZED LABOR IS A MATTER OF RECORD. REMEMBER THE SOUP HOUSES The Dark Times of Democracy Still Fresh in the Memory of the Workingman Who Had Nothing to Eat and No Place to Sleep. PROF. WILSON ON LABOR. "Labor is standardized by trades unions and this is the standard to which it is made to conform. I need not point out how economically disastrous such a regulation of labor is. It is so unprofitable to the employer that in some trades it will presently not be worth while to attempt anything at all. Our economic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants."—From an address by Prof. Wilson to the graduating class of Princeton university, June 20, 1908. Woodrow Wilson, Democratic candidate for president, is now addressing honeyed words to the laboring man in the hope of securing the labor vote. He would, if he could, have the workingman forget the address delivered by him at Princeton in 1909, in which he regretted that "labor is standardized by the trades unfons," and asserted that such a regulation of labor is "economically disastrous." Nor will labor target that in the same speech he characterized members of labor unions as "unprofitable servants." No wonder that the Minnesota State Federation of Labor recently adopted resolutions condemning Professor Wilson for his antagonistic attitude toward organized labor. And while Professor Wilson is appealing to the workingman to overlook his own personal views and vote the Democratic ticket he should know that the record of the Democratic party in connection with the workingman is engraved upon the tablets of labor's memory. Labor has not voted for a Democratic president since the terrible experience which followed the Democratic victory in 1902. And labor will not this year vote to repeat those distressing times. What Labor Remembers. No Bread to Eat. The Muskogee Cimeter. MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA, OCT. 19, 1912. THE ONLY SHOW PROSPERITY FREE TRADE HE EATS EM ALIVE G.O.P. PROSPERITY ME THE BIG SHOW SATTERFIELD Now a Full Dinner Pail Now a Full Dinner Pall. Labor has not forgotten its lesson on how it passed through poverty and misdessness and Democratic maladministration to the full dinner pall of the McKinley and subsequent Republican administrations. Labor has not forgotten that the American Federation of Labor held its annual convention in the council chamber in the city hall, Chicago, the week of Monday, December 11, 1893, at a time when 5,000 men were nightly sleeping on the cold stone floors of Chicago's city hall building, because of lack of money to secure other shelter. Farmers Will Not Forget. And farmers have not forgotten that during the period which brought such untold disaster to labor they themselves were neither prosperous nor happy. They worked hard and raised big crops, but their market was - gone because their customers could not buy. The candidate and the party whose policy puts labor out of a job robs the farmer of his profit just as truly as if the blow were aimed at him direct. LODGE'S BULL'S EYE SHOTS Massachusetts Senator States Some Truths in Few Words. When Senator Lodge of Massachusetts opened the Taft campaign in Ohio recently he uttered some truths in a few words. Here are a few of the sentences which ought to be read and remembered: "I believe most profoundly that now, as in the past, the success of the Republican party is for the best interests of the people of the United States." "The Democratic house presented the woolen schedule in a form which would put an end to the woolen manufactures of the United States and would slaughter the product of the American sheep raiser." "If you desire to strike down the sheep and woolen industries of the United states, give the Democrats full power, and you will have it done; if you do not, the only way to preserve them is to select a Republican congress and a Republican president." "If the proposed constitutional changes should be carried into effect they would completely revolutionise our system and theory of government, as we have known it since the beginning of history." "All the progress that has been made in this country in 50 years has been by the Republican party." "The Republican party has always been the party of sane and rational progress under the Constitution." "The Republican party stands for liberty as against license; for order as against confusion; for loyalty to the great principles of justice and freedom which have been handed down to us from the days of Washington; in one word, it stands for the constitution which Marshall interpreted and which Lincoln saved." DESERTS PROF. WILSON. Why a Democratic Editor Declares for President Taft: J. Holman Buck, the Democratic editor of the Western Nevada Miner at Mina, in voicing his allegiance to the Taft administration, is not sparing in his criticisms of the actions and policies of Governor Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic nominee, or of Roosevelt. Buck is a Democrat of the old school and readily sees the error of his ways in supporting the Democratic nominee for the presidency. In speaking of Wilson he has the following to say: "A man utterly untrained in the affairs of government; whose administration as governor of New Jersey has proven a failure and a force; whose views have been contracted by a lifetimes spent in the narrow confines of the school room; whose associations have naturally been the classes rather than the masses and whose radical views and vagaries outrival those of Debbs and Emma Goldman and that no more represents real Democracy than does the frothings of Roosevelt. The issues then are Taft, conservatism, the preservation of the constitution and a free Republican form of government, versus Wilson, socialistic radicalism and the turning over of established form of government to a mobocracy. Believing as we do we would be unjust to ourselves and false to principles and the public did we not align ourselves with Mr. Taft and the principles he represents. We hope that in the coming fray that he will be victorious and shall lend every effort at our command to bring this about. Party lines, by the issues promulgated, have been swept aside and conservative Democrats, he they true to themselves and principles, will support William Howard Taft for president, and rebuke the arrogant domination of Bryan and his piratical band of socialistic agitators." DODGED TARIFE REVISION Roosevelt, When President, Failed to Take Any Action. Once in his life Mr. Roosevelt atmost expressed an opinion on the tariff question. In a preliminary draft of one of his messages to congress as it came from the printer was this sentence: "In a later message I shall discuss the tariff." On revising the proof sheets of his message Mr. Roosevelt blue-penciled that line. And he never came even that near to discussing the question again as long as he remained in the White House. And yet the tariff law then on the statute books was far more objection able than the Payne law, which he is now so vigorously denouncing. Why didn't he revise the tariff the way he now says it ought to have been when he had the power? He says now he writes to "fix it so that more of the tariff 'price money' will go into the pay envelope of the workman." Why didn't he "fix it" that way during the seven and one-half years he was in the White House? In other words, in the face of his record while in office, is not all the Third Terner's present talk about the tariff the most transparent guff and bluff and balderdash? Mr Roosevelt's explanation is unworthy of consideration for two reasons. In the first place, a man in his position from whom advice and suggestion had been sought by the president of the United States ought not to admit having hastily endorsed reciprocity without knowing what he was doing. As a matter of fact, Mr Roosevelt's letters and speeches above quoted are exactly in line with his record. More than this, Mr. Roosevelt's explanation is an insult to the intelligent voter because in his letter to President Taft he says, "I firmly lie in free trade with Canada." This is going farther than President Taft ever went, because Mr. Taft' idea of reciprocity was to obtain valuable consideration in return for concessions granted. Roosevelt's free trade proposition if enacted into law would break down all the barrier between Canada and the United States and would cause tremendous financial loss to American farmers. The fact is that Mr. Roosevelt was heartily in favor of reciprocity and of free trade with Canada until he made his tour of the west before the Republican national convention, where he found that reciprocity was unpopular. Then he shifted. His present attitude demonstrates his utter insincerity and shows that he is ready to do anything to catch votes. He is ready to endorse anything that he believes is popular and to condemn that which he thinks is unpopular without regard to his own conviction or wise governmental policies. The manner in which he has suddenly reversed himself in the hope that he so doing he would gain a few votes in an example of demagogism thoroughly typical of his character. It is also important to remember that if a Democratic president should be elected reciprocity with Canada would soon be an accomplished fact inasmuch as the Democrats in the house of representatives voted for it and also voted against repealing the law which had been passed. Democratic reciprocity is the kind that the Canadian newspapers are hoping Canada will secure, because it will mean that Canada will get everything from the United States and give noth ing in return. WILL GET MORE SALARY Promotions and Increased Pay for 13,000 Railway Mail Clerks. Still another evidence of Republican prosperity and President Taft's sincerity in endeavoring to benefit the toller was manifested when he recommended to congress that the clerks in the railway mail service be classified and given an increase in wages. There are 16,700 clerks in that branch of the government's service, and the postal appropriations bill signed by the president just before congress adjourned carried with it the promotion with increased pay of 13,000 men on Oct. 1, 1912, and those not promoted on that date will receive more pay. The new law provides for three classes of railway postal lines with their transfer and terminal offices, the compensation ranging highest on the lines where the work is heaviest. Beginning with $900 a year, all clerks who render faithful and efficient service receive annual promotions of $100 until they reach the maximum of the successive annual grades, after which they may be promoted at intervals for specially meritorious service until their annual compensation reaches $1,800 in the highest class. Chief clerks in the railway mail service receive $2,000 a year. More than $1,000,000 a year will be involved in these increases. AMERICAN FARMERS ARE NOT "BUNGOED" BUY FARM IMPLEMENT$ CHEAPER THAN CANADIAN FARMERS. CAMPAIGN LIE IS NAILED Investigation by State Department Gives Facts and Figures, and Michigan Manufacturing Firm Adds Evidence. "Farmers Buncoed by the High Tariff." is the title of a publication industriously circulated among farmers by the Tariff Reform bureau of New York, a free trade annex of the Democratic party. It asserts that American-made farm implements are sold in Canada at a lower price than they are obtainable by American farmers. The purpose of the statement is to prove that the American farmers are made to suffer through the operation of the protective tariff laws. The statement is false. Plows, planters, cultivators and other farm implements made in the United States cost twenty-five per cent, more in Canada than in this country. The free trade advocates who try to mislead the American farmer do not know, apparently, that there is a so-called anti-dumping law in Canada whereby an American manufacturer cannot sell in that country at a lower price than at home. Official Facts and Figures. In addition to this, they are also ignorant of the fact that the United States government, through its board of trade relations in the state department, has made a thorough investigation which disproves the false assertion. It issued under date of May 16, 1910, a document entitled "Comparison of Prices of Agricultural implements in Canada and the United States," which shows that Canadian farmers pay more for American farm machinery than is paid by the American farmers. Here are some of the figures: 14-inch, steel-beam walking plow—price in North Dakota, $22; price in Manitoba, $25. 14-inch sulky plow with lift-price in Ohio. $40; price in Ontario. $5. 16-inch North Dakota suky plow—price in North Dakota; $23, price in Manitoba. $90. 17-tooth spring tooth harrow—price in Ohio and Michigan; $17; price in Ontario. $22. foot, 16-inch disk harrow—price in North Dakota; $28, price in Manitoba. $49. 19-foot, 20-stake disk Kentucky drill—price in North Dakota; $122; price in Manitoba. $140. Riding cultivator, portable aisle price in Ohio and Michigan; $28; price in Ontario. $88. Hay loader, rake bar—price in Ohio and Michigan; $90; price in Ontario. $70. first grade farm wagon—price in North Dakota. $9; price in Manitoba. $100. Evidence Offered with Proof. Evidence to the same effect is given by the Gale Manufacturing company of Albion, Mich., which was specifically charged by the free trade advocates with selling goods more cheaply to Canadian farmers than to American farmers. The secretary and general manager of the company, under date of August 30, 1912, wrote to the Tariff Reform club denying the charge and threatening to sue for damages unless the assertion was promptly retracted. The firm also wrote to the Republican national committee as follows: "Plows, planters, cultivators and other farm machinery made in the United States cost 25 per cent. more in Canada than in this country. You can stand on this statement, and if it is challenged we can produce proof." The proof mentioned in this letter consists of letters from retail dealers throughout Canada quoting the prices at which the products of the Michigan factory are sold to Canadian farmers. These figures agree substantially with those given in the government publication. For instance, a planter which sells in Detroit for $40 costs $45 in Windsor, less than a mile away across the Detroit river, and a cultivator which sells in Detroit for $80 cannot be bought in Windsor for less than 45. NO.19 As soon as free trade statements are subjected to the cold analysis of investigation their falsity is shown. It is an old proverb that a lie will travel seven leagues while truth is putting on its boots. It is important, therefore, that farmers who have heard the untruths of the free traders should promptly learn the real facts in the case. ROOSEVELT AND RECIPROCITY ISSUE INSINCERITY AND DEMAGOGISM OF THIRD TERM CAN-DIDATE SHOWN. He Not Only Favored Reciprocity but Wrote President Taft That He Firmly Believed in Free Trade With Canada. Although reciprocity is now a dead issue, it is worth while, for the enlightenment of those who oppose President Taft for his endorsement of reciprocity, to recall the position taken by Colonel Roosevelt upon that question. Mr. Roosevelt favors free trade with Canada and was an ardent advocate and supporter of reciprocity until he found that its endorsement would not help him in his third term race. President Taft, while he was considering the question of reciprocity, naturally consulted with ex-President Roosevelt. He knew that Mr. Roosevelt had been president, that he was familiar with the subject and that he was, at that time, a good and loyal Republicans. When, in the course of a lengthy letter, he asked Mr. Roosevelt's advice, he reviewed both sides of the matter in impartial fashion. Mr. Roosevelt's reply was not only a full endorsement but he went so far as to advocate absolute free trade with Canada. Mr. Roosevelt wrote as follows: Repealvail for Free Trade with Canada New York, Jan. 28, 2011 Dear Mr. President: It comes to me that when you pose to do with Canada is committed from every standpoint. I firmly believe in free trade with Canada for both economic and political reasons. As you say, labor cost is substantially the same in the two countries, so that you are amply justified by the platform. Whether Canada will accept such reciprocity I do not know, but it is greatly to your credit to make the effort. Ever yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Not only in his letter to President Taft, but also in speeches Mr. Roosevelt endorsed reciprocity. At Grand Rapids, Mich., on February 18, 1911, he said: "Here, friends, in Michigan, right on the northern frontier, I have the peculiar right to say a word of congratulation to you and to all of us upon the likelihood that we shall need have closer reciprocal tariff and trade relations with the great nation to the north of us." And in a speech before the Republican club of New York city, delivered on February 18, 1911, Mr. Roosevelt gave emphatic endorsement of President Taft and reciprocity in the following words: "I want to say how glad I am at the way in which the members of the club here tonight responded to the two appeals made to them to uphold the hands of President Tatt, both in his effort to secure rectify with Canada and in his effort to secure the fortification of the Panama canal." Explanation Does Not Explain. In the face of this record Mr. Reevevelt now explains his anatomy to rectiprocity by saying that he did not fully understand the proposition and endorsed it under a micropresentation of its details Contributors to the Campaign Fund Who Believe in President Taft. One of the most encouraging factors in the campaign is the enthusiasm expressed by the many contributors to the Republican campaign fund. "It is my deliberate judgment," writes a Chicago merchant, "that Taft has been one of the best presidents that the United States has had is the last forty years and I believe that he deserves re-election." "We do not need any change in the presidency," writes a Wisconsin contributor, "and in my opinion we are not going to have any change. President Taft is an honest, able and conscientious man and he deserves and will receive re-election. In this locality the sentiment is coming his way." Hundreds of letters contain similar expressions of opinion. They show in every section a strong feeling that President Taft's splendid administration has made a deep impression and that people do not want a change.

Hadley, of Missouri, who was one of Roosevelt's managers ut the Re- publican national convention, and who had charge of the contest made by Roosevelt delegates, has declined to follow the Third Term candidate out of the Republican party, and has de- clared that he will support President ‘Taft. In a speech at Jefferson City, Mo., he said; “I hope that these many highmind- but, 1 believe, mistaken men, who have ti ght there was a greater in- terest to be subserved by joining in the organization of a new purty and the nomination of another State tick- et, will yet see that by such acts they ‘are simply doing that which tends to insure Democratic success. And I hope that they will come back to the party which has stood for decency; that hau stood for sane and effective progress in the conduct of public at- fairs.” * After appealing to Republicans to support the Republican _nominces, Gov. Hadley potnted out in his speech that the Democrats were pledged to the same kind of tariff legislation as they gave to the country after the Democratic victory of 1892. He said that no Republican could associate himself with those whose efforts tend- ed to insure Democratic success, FORAKER SUPPORTS TAFT Bays All Other Candidates Seck to Destroy Republican Party.

He declares that the result in Maine was emphatically a victory for the policy of protection. pes hie return home he gave a highly interesting state ment to the Cinctnnatt: “Commercial Tribune,” from which the following is excerpted: “It fe the duty, of every Republican who wants to support the Kepublican party and Republican principles to re- member that there 1s no way to sup- port the party and {ts principles ex- cept by supporting President Taft, “Nobody else pretends to represent the Republican party.

When once the Arkansas is de- clared navigable for practical purposes railroad freight rates will be reduced from 25 to 75 per cent. The Trinity River in Texas and the Arkansas in the state of Arkansas have heen declared navigable, and Ht.
