THE FURNACE FACTORY
Articles of New Incorporation Are
Filed for Record.

The Interstate Manufacturing Co.
has filed articles of incorporation in
the Office OF the county recorder for
the manufacture of heating apparatus,
etc. The capital stock of the compa.
ny is stated ats$4O,O0o.00, and business
shall begin as soon as $4,000 of the
capital stock has been subscribed.
The directors of the company are J.
w. Gardner, Frank e. Baker and S.
w. Jameson.
This is the name and official organi-
cation of the new factory that has
been brought to the city through the
work and the efforts of the Oskaloo-
sa Commercial Club. The factory
building of the company is now near
ing completion and stands on the
west Of the Iowa Manufacturing Com
pany, east of Second street. The
building is almost ready for occupan-
cy and the work of the manufacturing
of furnaces will be started within a
few weeks. The securing and the
erecting of this factory is an enter
prise of the year and one that will
prove to be one of the most substan-
tial within the city.

manufacture average a little more
here than they do in Europe in com
peting countries. the wages received
by the laboying man are double here
what they are there; and that the
general prosperity here exceeds that
Of any other country in the world"
II the manufacturer cannot make
money, he would be foolinh to risk
his money and tie himself down to the
exactions Of business. But II the
American toiler gets double what the
same labor commands in the old
world, it is natural that the Americas
manufacturers profits should be larg-
sr than those of the European manu-.
facturer.
No Intelligent American toiler
would want to exchange pay and con-
ditions for those which prevail in Eu-
rope. Then he should remember that
the tariff is all that prevents labor
in this land from sinking to the level
Of the prices paid to the European
workngman. 1t is the toiler, then,
who receives the greatest benefits
from protection.

THE CASE WELL STATED.

The national republican position in
the matter of the tariff is admirably
stated by the Center Point Journal
In the course of an intelligent review
of the political situation in this state
the Journal well says:
"The standpatter, as far as the pres
ent contest is concerned, believes as
follows:
First, that present economic condi.
tons do not demand general revis.
ion of the tariff, or revision in favor
of particular industries, such as is
suggested by certain so-called progress.
sive leaders.
Second, that reciprocity in compe-
titive articles is not republican doc
trinI>, and is practical free trade under
the uise of reciprocal arrangements:
Third, that the record of the re-
publican party in the nation since the
enactment of the Dingley tariff law is
one deserving Of support by every
true republican.
Fourth, that as far as Iowa is con-
cerned, there is no real railroad issue
or corporation issue, but that the re-
publicanism of Iowa stands for all that
is best in the administration Of state
affairs"
The Cedar Rapids Republican ac'
cords the above none too high praise
when 1t says of 1t:
"That is the plainest kind Of truth
most succinctly stated. No better
statement of the regular republicanism
of this state has ever been made. The
things enumerated under the four
heads are all that so-called standpat'
tiers, which is simply regular republi'
canism, has ever stood for"

SENATOR ALLISON.

Washington Star: The absence Of
Mr.. Allison from his place in the SEN
ate in the closing days Of this session
has been remarked with sincerest re-
greet and the deepest sympathy. His
health made it necessary for him to
leave town in advance of adjournment.
The Iowa senator has for years been
one of the most industrious and influ.
entail of the members of the body in
which he is a veteran. An authority
on matters of government, wise and
fair man in all relations, he enjoys the
unqualified confidence and respect OF
both sides of the senate chamber and
of the country at large. There IS
probably no other member of the sen
ate who possesses so thorough a
knowledge of the details of public
business, or is so well qualified to
handle upon the instant in debate the
thousand and one questions that in.
here in the public purse Probably
without an exception, everybody ad-
vised of Mr.. Allison's present impair
ment of physical strength will wish
him a speedy recovery, and the coun-
try early benefit from his valuable
services again.

THE IOWA PURE FOOD LAW.

The new Iowa pure food" law which
went into effect July l, is quite COM
prehensive in its provisions and in
cludes drinks, confectionery and con-
diments. Hereafter the red lemonade.
the blended coffee, the seductive soda
water, the beer and highballs, and
all the other drinkable concoctions,
must be pure or the vendor will stand
liable to the penalties Of the law.
"And, after all, why should not the
public have pure drinks as well as
pure food?" inquiries the Burlington
Aawk-Eye. "The milk must be pure;
why not the beer? The coffee and tea
must be straight goods, or else harm
less in the ingredients; and so label
ed; why not also the whistles and
wines? If logic is logical, purity
should rule in all that goes into the
human stomach as food, or drink, or
medicine. If man is to be poisoned,
let the responsibility rest with the
doctor and the prescription clerk.
"The pure food law may prove to
be one of the best temperance meas
ures Iowa or any other state ever
adopted. 1t has long been claimed by
moderate drinkers that If they could
have absolutely pure wines, liquors
and beers there would be very little
harm from their use. Without dis
cussing the wisdom and physical effect
of the moderate use of intoxicants, 1t
is quite generally considered that del
eterious results are greatly augmented
by adulterated goods. Forty roo
whiskey" long ago ceased to be To-
calism, and there is abundant evil
dence that pure wines, beers and Ii
quors are scarce. 1t is undeniable
that numerous hurtful ingredients are
used by many manufacturers to
cheaper the cost of production, or to
color or flavor the stuff. The excess
i've use Of stimulants is bad enough,
when only the pure article is used, but
the baneful effect is multiplied many
fold when noxious drugs and chemi-
Gals are employed in the manufacture.
1.-THE Iowa pure food law, to be et-
fective, and OF practical value 10 the
community, will require the services of
official inspectors and impartial en-.
forcement by law officers; otherwise
it will be worse than no law on the
subject as it will lead to unjust dis
elimination among manufacturers and
and dealers. 1t will also require an
alert and discriminative public opinion
back of it. The public is entitled to
purity of products in the foods, drinks,
confectionery, condiments aud medi-
cines, and all that enters into the ply
steal system. Life, health, pleasure,
comfort and longevity are all involved
in these conditions, and because OF
their vital importance to society, in
dividually and collectively, the law
ought to be firmly administered and
universally obeyed."

REPUBLICAN, SURPLUS Sine .,

Since the republicans resumed ma
tional control in March, 1907, little
more than nine years have been COW
cred in the annual fiscal reports of the
United States. The period embraces
the time of the war with Spain and
Panama canal expenditures from cash
on hand OF about $75,000,000. The
net surplus for the ten years ended
with last month is Successes Five
of the years showed surplus and five
a deficit, but the balance when struck
is emphatically on the right side. The
surplus for the fiscal year Just closer
was $26,000,00 so the showing. pres
ent and prospective, is highly favora
BILE. In the four years OF the last
Cleveland administration, which was
free from wars and not marked by
any costly undertaking like the 18TH
milan canal,the net treasury deficit was
S135, 470,056. The contrast is strik-
ing. Good policy pays. The people
will have another huge account on the
wrong side If they carelessly drift in
to reactionary government.
Mr. Bryan has not said what his
proposed certain reforms" are to be,
but he has always been a free trader,
and unless his views have changed
radically he will try to sweep away
every yestige of protection. He has
always opposed the protective princl-
pie in any traiff schedule for any pur.
pose whatever. His most noted
speech in congress was against protec-
ton, and he was identified with the
democratic control Of congress that
led up to the passage of the Wilson,
German tariff law. The tariff is a
part of the history of the four demo-
cratic years when there was treas
ury deficit Of $135,000,0O0. The repub-
licans took hold, carried through a
war costing hundreds of millions of
dollars, made a general start with
the Panama canal, and yet can show
treasury surplus for the Dingley
law period of $117,0. 900. The rg-
ures carry conviction. Good enough
let us stand pat.

woRkINeMeN AND PROTECTION.

According to the Free-Traders the
tariff is only to protect the manufac-
turers and allow them to grow rich.
The toiler, they claim, gets nc benefit
from it at all and is taxed in order
that the manufacturer may become
rich.
The address in Philadelphia the 9TH
er evening on the tariff question by
General Draper, formerly minister to
Italy, is, document which should be
read by every toiler. In speaking of
the efforts to poison the minds of
labor, General Draper said:

envy is spreading; that the tariff is
for the benefit Of the manufacturer.
