4 STAND PAT SPEECH
SENATOR HANNA TO THE OHIO
REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION.
"Human Liberty and Protection TO
Our Labor and Industries" LET
Well Enough Alone; for Gods Sake
Keep Letting IL AIone!"

The Republican party is fortunate
in the character and quality of its
leadership. 1t is fortunate in having
as chairman of its National Committee
a man of the stamp of Hon. Marcus
A. Hanna The need of the hour is
stalwart, incorporating Republican
ism on the part of the men intrusted
with the duty of directing the party s
politics. Senator Hanna is nothing if
not STRAIGHTFORWARD and practical. He
does not know what it is to be am
biguous or evasiye. OF himself he
might truly say:
I am no orator, as Brutus is;
But. as you know me all. a plain. blunt
I only speak right on.
To be a plain, blunt man, and to
speak right on, is an admirable char
acteristic in a campaign leader and
manager. Senator Hanna never ex-
hibited these valuable traits to better
advantage than in his speech before
the Ohio Republican State convention.
June 8, 1908. Such speech was most
opportune. 1t was time that some big
mantle bigger the better-stood up
and proclaimed the dignity, the glory
and the splendid record of unadulter-
ated Republicanism; time to show a
just pride in the party's principles and
achievements, without apology, quail
fcation or saving clause of any kind.
Senator Hanna was the right man in
the right place. A lifelong member of
the American Protective Tariff League
this virile Ohioan is a believer in the
doctrine and policy of protection
through and through, first, last and
all the time. He does not think the
Dingley tariff shelters monopoly" he
knows that it does not. He does not
recognize the present existence or
probable occurrence of anything in the

The question, why does a negro
carry a razor?" has never been salts
factorily answered There is a good
deal of fiction about the "razzer" bust
ness I have known hundreds of ne
groes, both slaves and freemen, and
never knew one who carried a razor.
The comic weekiies were largely re-
sponsible for the belief that the col
ored brother adopted the shaving Inn
plement as his favorite weapon of
offense and defense and is never with
out it-"-New York Press

they are very foolish ones. a party
is seldom able to win victory by taking
the position that logically belongs to

Republicans have no reason to be
dissatisfied with what has been accom-

it with pride They do point to it

Stockers and Feeders,

Demand for stockers and feeders has
not been SO gay of late, and prices show
n weaker tendency all around. There
were a good many lockers, this week,
but the desire to buy was not strong,
and quite number OF the common and
medium steers sold lower than early
in the week. The choice feeding class
has been very much reduced and the
supply consisted mainly of fair to mcdi
UNI steers. which do not move very
freely. Receipts in this department
this week have not been as heavy as
usual, and so the volume of business
has decreased some. Choice selected
feeders are quotable at s3.75@4.00, with
medium at s3.oo63.60. and fair to good
stockers at s2.5od3.oO.

STOP MAKING WHEY BUTTER.
Wisconsin Factories Give Up the In.


dustry.
Milwaukee,, T'ec. EVERY one OF the
several hundred creameries and cheese
factories In Wisconsin which have been
engaged in making whey butter for
many years has given up the industry.
According to Deputy Collector of In
ternational Revenue Lasche not \
pound OF whey butter is now being
manufactured In Wisconsin. This is the
result Of notice sent out to manu-
factlrers that unless the product con-
tains less than 16 per cent moisture, It
Is subject to a tax of 10 cents pound
and makers must secure a nfanufac-
turer's license, which costs $500 a
year.
The makers found II impossible, the
revenue officers say, to make the pro-
duct with less than 16 per cent of moi
sture, and as it can not be marketed
at profit after paying the tax. the en-
terprise has been abandoned.
Where the manufacture has been
abandoned 1t Is giving great satisfac-
ton to the farmers who supply milk
to the factories. because the waste pro-
duct which Is used in feeding stock
con aims certain percentage OF butter
fat, which up to the present time has
been SKINNED and used in making
whey butter. Factories turnout the
country are said to be closing.

Hoo Cholera.

Washington. d. c., Dec. 4.-The loss
es from contagious disease among hogs
in the United States have been enor-
nous, probably reaching In some years
the aggregate OF s75.000.000. and being
seldom less than $50. 100000. The agri-
cultural department has for quarter
OF a century been conducting scientific
experiments. with view to calculating
the nature OF the disease and Develop
ing some practical treatment by which
1t might be controlled; and while much
has been discovered, as to the effects
OF certain bacilli and as to the desir-
ability OF sanitary measures. no salts
factory method of controlling the dis
ease has been evolved. Recently it
has been shown by the bureau of ami
NAL Industry that there is, in at least
some of the outbreaks, a different cause
at work from what has heretofore been
suspected. When the bacilli which have
been supposed to cause the disease. are
all filtered from the blood, this liquid
is still capable of producing the mall
ady and has apparently the same de-
gree of virulence as 1t had before fill
tering. 1t is yet too early to estimate
the proportion of the losses attributed
to hog cholera which are caused by
this agent. which passes thru the fin
est filters. and which In this condition
must be too small to be revealed by the
highest powers of the microscope. In
are now being made to
throw some light upon this question;
but enough is already known to make
1t probable that this discovery will
prove of very great Importance.
