the convention at the Grand Theater.
Hundreds of farmers came to Owens

other things, he said
"A year ago Mr.. Sherman and |

gotten more definite esults.

GERMAN AND AMERICAN woRKMEN
WagewOrkeFs Here Are Better Fixed
in Almost Every Respect.
BroAklYn Eagle.

The German notion that they are a little
the best and most fortunate people on
earth, which comes out occasionally in
their international relations, must receive
a severe shock from a report published by
Professor Sombart, of Breslau. Professor
Sombart has been investigating the condi-
lions of American woTkmen and he COM
pares them with those Of Germans in a Ger
man magazine, to the manifest advantage
of Americans. The point of comparison
which will most surprise many Americans
is the report that even I'm New York the
woTkmen are better and more eheaply
housed than the Germans He finds that
the average American workman's family
lives in five rooms, while the German fam
lily has two, and that the American pays a
less proportion of his wages for his Ave
rooms than the German pays for his two.
He points out that rents in America are
relatively low even when one considers the
money value while the American wages
are two or three times higher
Clothing is not much dearer In America
and shoe wear Is cheaper. The American
workman's family has more rooms. they
are more comfortable and better furnished.
An American workman's family spends
sis year for clothing, while families OF
workmen in CarlscruhS and Nuremburg
spend from $50 10 s54. As the clothing costs
but little more in this country this added
expenditure indicates scale OF comfort,

! Workmen, he reports, as something sim

far more for the consumption OF alcohol
i than does the American. The average
American workmans family spends Sl2 q

! lily In Nuremberg spends $50 ana In Carls-
| ruhe S54 This latter sum is 2.5 per cent
Of the Germans income. while he spends

time the beer costs only half as much In

SECRETARY WILSON.
Importance of His Work In the
Agricultural Department.


All talk Of the retirement Of Secretary
Wilson from the cabinet by reason Of any
! recent disclosures in one or two Of the sub
| divisions Of the Agricultural department Is
the veriest nonsense. There Is absolutely
| no reason why he should retire. but every
| reason why he should not retire. He Is not
the man to be driven by the cabals Of sell
! hshly interested men who could not use
| him or the influence OF his once for their
| purposes. pleasant, genial man, this
! sturdy scotchman is a grim tighter when
fight is put upon him. And he is Just
the kind Of man that Theodore Roosevelt
values and backs up and would not let go
even II the secretary wanted to retire
There is not in the United states a man
Of moro sterling honesty. OF more absolute
integrity, than James Wilson. Everybody
who knows him knows this-and pretty
| much everybody between the oceans, and
especially the farmers, know him. II is
simply preposterous to suppose that there
is a shred OF occasion for his retirement
because few subordinates in the depart
ment have gone wrong. It is all bosh.
| Theodore Roosevelt himself could not pur-
sue more relentlessly than Secretary Wilson
will pursue any employee or suboficial who
betrays trust. And the whole country
knows IT,
James Wilson has done a vast work for
the public good in organizing and building
up the Agricultural department to great
ness and efficiency From the day he as
sumed its duties that department has been
no Joke, but a serious, rapidly growing and
mighty agency for the development OF our
farming interests, reaching out under his
strong control into all branches OF those
industries and stimulating, aiding and verify
benefiting them. From Maine to California,
from the Canadian line to the gulf, there Is
not a township. not a school district, in
which the uplift impaired by this strong
man has not been felt to the comfort, en-
richment and prosperity of the farmers.
It would be endless to recte even in broad
outline the notable things that have been
done under the administration of Secretary
Wilson. The country is familiar with
many of them. The work Of the secretary
has been to impart a vitalizing and ener-
giving force to his department and through
It to the vast industries with which II has
to do interests which before the secretary's
day had never been adequately represented
in It, He has built up the department,
made It efficient, modernized II. Under him
cultural department in all the governments
of the world.
No sane government would let such a
man go II It could help II. And II any OF
the conspiring speculative interests, who
would like to use the secretary for their
schemes but cannot, think they can drive
him to retirement, they will know better
before they are through with him.

tons committee who will work shoulder
to shoulder with him to enforce retrench-
ments in all Of the measures carrying ap-
preparations. It is also stated to be
likely that Mr.. Cannon I'm his economy
program will have the support and CO.
operation in the senate of Mr.. Allison,
Mr.. Hale and others of influence in shap.
ing appropriations at that end of the
capitol.
Retrenchment wherever it can he
made without impairing the efficiency of
the public service is unquestionably the
proper policy, but It is exceedingly diff
cult because Of the increasing demands
due to the rapid growth Of the country.
New requirements of a more or less i'm
perative nature are constantly springing
up. If the leaders in congress can find
an expedient way to reduce expenses
without injury to the public service, and
thus avoid imposing additional taxes
upon the people, their wisdom will be
heartily approved by the country. The
question is one Of the first Importance.
The government can go on for some time
spending more than it receives without
depicting the treasury, but it is not good
policy that it should do so. On the other
hand, increasing taxation in time of
peace would be most unpopular and
likely to prove fatal to the party in
power. As to tariff revision as a means
of getting more revenue, It is a doubtful
expedient when the possible effect on in
dustries and business is considered.
Speaker Cannon will have the support
and best wishes of the people in his eff
forts for judicious retrenchment.
