shape of overcharges and excessive
prices for goods from American farm
ers.
The American farmer should remem-
Der that when President Roosevelt was
Governor of New York he disapproved
a bill passed by the Legislature taxing
franchises, and intended to reduce the
burden of State tax on farmers and
other individual taxpayers by making
corporations pay their just share. The
corporation lawyers pleaded with
Roosevelt that the bill was unconstitu-
tional, and he was very ready to accept
their statement. The Court of APP
peals, Judge Parker presiding, after
ward held Rooseyelt's objecti0nl to the
bill to be unfounded. RooSevelt's
mistake" however, cost large
amount of money, which was solved to
the corporations, and had to be Iheid by
the farmers and others. 1t hade
Roosevelt solid. however. with the
trusts. which run the Republican party,
and doubtless had a good deal to do
with his nomination for Vice-President.
Every farmer has at time cattle to
dispose of. 1t has been clearly estab-
lished that the Republican tariff tax on
hides. which was levied solely for the
benefit of the great meat packers in
Chicago and other centres. does not
put one dollar in the pocket of the
farmer or cattle raiser, who does not
get cent more for the animal on ac-
count of the hide, while it enables the
great trust meat packers to charge
higher prices for hides than they would
be able to charge If hides We're coming
in free from South America, Mexico
and elsewhere. 1t is not necessary to
take Democratic authority for these
facts. Ask any dealer in leather. The
Republican tariff tax on hides puts
millions of dollars into the pockets of
the meat trust. while it adds to the
cost of every pair of shoes and every
inch of leather that is used in the Uni
ted States-and farmers have use for n
good deal of leather besides what they
wear as shoes.
The weekly register. [volume] (Point Pleasant, Va. [W. Va.]) 1862-1909, 1904-11-02

The facts and figures above present
ed deal with the actual cost in money
to the American farmer of the high
tariff system on which the Republican
party says it stands pat" and which
is to be continued in all its oppressive
ness, extortion and injustice If Roose-
Welt should be elected.
The Republican Congress has author
lied standing army of 100000 men
four times as great as any previous
standing army of the United States in
time of peace. This means militarism,
military aristocracy to cooperate
with the trust aristocracy in trampling
on the ordinary citizen. 1t means the
military system of Germany and Rus
STA for the United States. 1t means a
weapon that might prove very danger
Gus in the hands of man of RoOse-
velt's quarrelsome character.
Imperialism goes with militarism.
The policy of attending TO our own
business has been given up by the Re
publican Administration for that of
meddling in the worlds business. of
holding subject nations as colonies and
of exterminating them, as multitudes
of Filipinos have been eXterminated,
when they dared to demand for them
selves the independence for which
Americans fought in the Revolution.
At any moment the policy of imperial
ism. that meddling in the affairs of
foreign nations which Washington
warned us against in his farewell adj
dress. may plunge us into tremendous
war with some great power.
The election of Roosevelt would
mean final step over the precipice of
imperialism. 1t would mean the
abandonment of American methods
and principles for those of continental
Europe, with q war lord for chief of
State and a large and obedfent stand
ing army at his command. 1t would
mean the stamp of popular approval
for Roosevelt's usurpation Of authority
that belongs to Congress alone. and for
future usurpations that would substi-
tute the will of the executive for the
Constitution of the United States.
Judge Parker stands for American
ism in all that the term implies; Roose-
| Welt for imperialism, as illustrated in
Berlin, Vienna and st. Petersburg. and
OF late also in Washington. Every real
American should vote for the Ameri-
can candidate. Alton B. Parker.

THE WHITE ROCKS SHUT OUT
independents Defeat Crack Peoria
Team at Twelfth Street Park.

The White Rocks. said to be the
crack amateur baseball team of Peo-
ria, were let down without a score
by the Rock Island Independents at
the Twelfth street park yesterday af-
iernoon before an audience OF on
thousand fans. The Rocks came up
from Peoria on an excursion, anu
there were a number of their friends
at the grounds to root for them.
Christy Wilson, who has not lost
game for the Independents this season
and who will probably enter the pro
fessiOnal ranks a year hence, allowed
but four hits. while an even dozen
were gotten off Wetzler. The visiting
pitcher kept his hits we'll scattered
until the seventh. when he was touch
ed up for six for five TALES. The
game was interesting aud exciting up
to this point. The Independents play
ed with one error. A feature was the
batting of Mckinley and Sellmer.

man. was hit over the eye by a foul

UNION TRIMS UP ARGUS
In a Sensational 1o-Inning Baseball
Game at Twelfth Street Park.

In a Sensational 1o-Inning Baseball
Game at Twelfth Street Park.
There is a young man following the
printing business in Rock Island that
is missing his vocation. Ted Sullivan
should have seen him at work in the
early hours of yesterday morning at
the ball park out on Twelfth street
He was the undoing of The Argus
team in the game with the Union.
But for two costly misplays The Ar
gus might have won at that.
The game went 10 innings. so you
might know that it was no lead pipe
for the boys from Eighteenth street
The Argus had a comfortable lead up
to the eighth inning. when the score
was tied. In the ninth neither side
saw home. but in the 10th the Union
sluggers fell against the twisters that
Moffett was serving and there were
five tallies piled up, a passed ball and
a wild throw aiding in the result.
Archer was opposed to Molfett. Ar
cher looked easy at the outset. but
he grew Steadier and more effective
as the contest advanced. He was
pitching his best in the closing inning
Moffett. it is owing him to state. was
not in form yesterday. He was the
star pitcher for three seasons on the
high school team at Fort Madison
Iowa. He is a southpaw. One cause
of his weakness in the closing inning
was an injury to his working arm that
he suffered by falling over the lawn
mower Thursday evening.
Dover who covered center for the
Union, made one of the sensational
plays of the game, making the circuit
in the 10th after missing the third
strike, the ball going through the
catcher's mitt. The ball was pegged
to first. where Dover was hit in the
ball to pass in through the bleachers.
Kendall, the manager of The Argus
team. caught for three innings. during
which BrodericlL did the pitching
stunt. They did splendidly. but were
Obliged to return to their former posi-
lions, Kendall's throwing wing having
gone back on him. He has a great
arm. but not for throwing to bases.
Bergert. The Argus left fielder. was
fined s. for being asleep at the switch
when an easy fly was knocked out to
him. He started in the direction of
right when Manager Kendall shouted
at him that there was something com
ing his way. This cost three runs.
The Union was challenged for another
game that is to be played week from
next Sunday. The teams lined up
