ANOTHER GLOBE FAKE.

GotDown to Fairness.
Of Minneapolis at Exposition Hall last
Saturday evening for the whole space of
three minutes; and, 10 and behold, the
st. Paul Globe credits him with an adj
dress which would require two hours to
deliver. The report of what the Texas.
statesman actually said took up, in the
papers which reported the meeting, just
q inches of space; and the Globe put in
the Texans mouth a speech nearly nine
columns in length!
The question is, why did the man
from Texas come up here, 1900 miles
from home, and then, after great adver-
tising and the assembling of an immense
crowd, fail to deliver the speech which
he had contracted to make? Why did
he refuse to deliver the 5000 words of
rhetoric and free trade argument which
the Globe had SO accommod datingly pune
tuatedbwith "a bursts of ssapplause," six
explosions of ssapplause and laughter"
five of slaughter and applause" six cas-
es Of roof-liftiDg 'sgreat applause" two
cases Of "great laughter and applause"
and nine cases of pain daughter? Ex-
animation of the contents Of the speech
explains the cause. The committee did
not dare to present such a tissue of gauzy
rhetoric before an intelligent Minneapo-
lis audience
Fiction number one, which the man
from Texas was contracted to deliver,
reads: "We have got the highest pro-
tectiYe duties today that any country on
the globe has ever submitted to- But

ury, in their various annual reports,
show that the average duty on all i'm
ports under the Mckinley bill in 1892 is
the lowest average duty in half cen
tury, with the exception Of one period of
five years only, and lower even than the
average duty on all imports under the
tariff for-revenue of 1916 to 1856. In
1892 the average duty on all imports is
20.65 per cent. In 1866 the average
was from 21.6S per cent to 25.85 per
cent. Does Mr.. Mills admit, then, that
the tariff of 1916 was higher than .sthe
highest protective duties that any count
ry on the globe has ever submitted toy,

in the contract version, Waots to know.
