To and boss the Busters ambition of

men on button machinery are also
receiving very large amounts for
their labor, which conservatively
estimated will exceed 81, 500, 600
annually. Before duties were
placed on buttons our entire pro-
duct was shipped from foreign
countries, the prices being duty
free from 40 TO 10 cents per gross
line.
The Mckinley Tariff imposed a
duty of 80 cents per gross line; for
comparatively short time there
after, the price rose to from so to
80 cents. AS soon as the industry
was established the prices fell, and
continued to do SO, owing to the In
PRODUCTION of labor saving machines
so that the same buttons are today
sold at from I8 to 75c per gross
This shows the effects of what our
Democratic friends call prohibltlve
tariff legislation, and numerous
other industries will show the same
results. Under Free Trade We
paid higher prices for the product,
and that to foreign laborers. With
duty imposed we have lowered the
price, furnished employment to
laborers and caused others to real
ize on what was formerly considered
useless product-namely, our
clam shells. The development of
this industry is largely due to the
persistent efforts of our pioneer
button maker, Mr.. Boepple, a res
dent of the clty.-Davenport Dem
oCrat.

Effect of the Tariff

The button industry, especially
in this locality, hiss been developed
since the Mckinley Tariff went into

over 10, 600 persons in the button
factories alone, whose wages amount
to over S75o, 900 annually. Be-

ent and an active Hoch campaign
lnaugurated. The determination is
TO control the state convention, if
possible, in Hoch's interest. There
is no Disgusting the fact that very
large element of the Republican
party is bitterly opposed to the
present slate government, and will
do everything in their power to de-
feat Governor Bailey for a renomi-
nation. There can be no success
full political campaign run unless it
partakes somewhat of machine
methods.
Il The machine in control at the
present time has become some
what dom;neering and has adopted
and put in use some very question
able methods. They have gone to
extremes in many instances, and, as
consequence there is much dis
satisfaction.
However, the Burton machine
that preceded it and that again
seeks for power through the over
throw of the present organization is
but little better. Their methods
were of the same general tendency.
And the 6gh, seems to be which of
the two sets of political leaders will
be in control.
Let it 60 as it may, the rank and
file of the party seem to have but
little to say in the matter. About
all they have to do in the matter is
to vote with one set or the other
The way politics seem to be going,
at present, it is only for the voter to
say 10 which set of leaders he
wishes to give the plums and to dis
pense the crumbs.
The fight now is the outs against
the ms. The fight will be short and
sharp. 1t is not likely that the outs
in the short time to elapse before
the convention can get a machine
organized sufficiently formidable
to knock out the present one. The
name of Ed Hoch is name to
conjure with, as he is very popular
. over the state. Mr.. Hoch, how
ever, investigated the matter very
closely and declined to be a
candidate. 1t is now proposed by
the enthusiastic anti-machine men
to run him anyway. MI Hoch
doubtlessly discovered in the course
of his investigations that a good
many of his most earnest supporters
were not whooping it up for him so
much for any great personal love as
Through an ardent desire to lambast
the other fellows. Ed Hoch is a
good man and a popular man. He
is the right kind of material to
make good governor, and one for
whom the Republicans of the state
could vote with the full assurance
that he would discharge his full
duties with honesty and intelli'
gence. Yet Mr.. Hoch says he is
not candidate and does not want
to be governor. He wants to be
sac printer.
That Mr.. Bailey and the machine
have stirred up big lot of opposi-
ton to his candidacy is very appar-
ent. Two years ago Mr.. Bailey
was very strong candidate. Now
he is not. There has been bitter
ness engendered that bodies no good
If nominated he will be elected,
but it will take some of the boys

But a short time now remains for
Republicans to scrap among them
selves. We hope they will enjoy it

short time remaining and then con-

The pitch of the human voice de

length with the growth OF the larynx

only eighty double vibrations second,
