Another Tariff Mystery.

Saturday Evening Post.)
In Massachusetts the idea of tariff
reform evoKes enthusiasm. In Iowa 1t
is coolly and doubtfully received
A little over one per cent Of the
manufacturing of the United States Is
done in Iowa. Massachusetts manu-
featured product is seven times as
great as Iowa's; she has ten times as
many wage earners industrially en-
ployed; her factory payroll Is two hum
bred and thirty-two million dollars a
year against twenty-three million dol
lars for Iowa And, Of Iowa's manu-
features by far the most extensive are
those which get no possible benefit
from protection. First in Importance
stand slaughtering and meat-packing,
which account for nearly one-fifth the
states total manufactured outturn.
Dairy products, flour and grist mills
and food preparations account Tor an
other fifth. The fourth manufactur-
ing industry in the state Is printing
and publishing. There Is not single
protected industry in Iowa that pro-
duces ten million dollars year - or,
say, a third as much as the oats crop.
Iowa's chief wealth Is agricultural.
Excluding the manufactures Of farm
products, meat, flour, cheese-her total
manufactures produce much less
wealth than her corn crop alone; and
her capital invested in manufacturing,
even including slaghtering. diaries,
flour mills, etc, is less than one-third
her capital invested in farm animals
From protection, her agriculture, OF
course, derives absolutely no direct
benefit The price of her crops is fixed
in free European competition with the
like products from Argentine, India and
Russia, in so far as our protective
sytsem stimulates Germany to pass
restrictive laws against American
meat imports, that grand old system
obviously Injuries Iowa's agriculture.
The only intelligent theory, then,
upon which Iowa can support high pro-
lection is that it enables manufactur-
ing Massachusetts to consume more OF
her wheat, corn and pork. But Massa-
chusetts herself entertains grave
doubts about that theory.

CORNERS AND OPTIONS.
(Sioux City Journal.)

lily OOuiAoi.l
AS a matter of fact, prejudice
against both the stock exchanges and
the boards of trade is due in large
part to the artificial manipulation of
prices rather than to intrinsic dement,
in the system. The man who invests in
stocks and loses his money does not
make a loud "holler" unless he finds
that the price of the stock was juggled
for the especial purpose of cleaning
him out The man who puts his
money into wheat and loses it is dis
posed to kick only when he finds that
the cards were stacked on him." and
that he lost where should have won.
1t is safe to say that if the stock mar
ket were so regulated as to suppress
sharp practice there would be COM
paratively little objection to the sort
of business carried on by promoters
and brokers. And if the boards OF
trade would guarantee their customers
a, square deal, with all hands above
the table, there would be more Gus
toners and less criticism. The aboli-
ton of the corner by the Chicago
board of trade would be a contribu-
ton along this line.

Little Enthusiasm in East.
In an interview in the Register and
Leader, Mr.. E. M. Wentworth, of State
Center, says: "The notable political
thing about the national congress OF
the Sons of the American Revolution
at Buffalo last week was the demon
stration at the mention of the name
of Governor Hughes. OF course the
names of most of the noted men of the
present and distinguished past in our
history were mentioned at the BAN

but there was no politics in the meet

ton of the names of distinguished men
the 200 delegates 1t the congress or the
500 guests at the banquet would cheer,
and so display their attitude toward
the leaders of the present and past.
The demonstration for Hughes was the
most notable one of them all. 1t far
surpassed any other. The cheering for
President Roosevelt was perfunctory
and that for Taft on the same plane.
This was rather surprising to those
who had imagined that the people We're

The unexpected has happened. Hetty
Green. reputed the wealthiest woman
in the world, and the stingiest, has
startled financial New York by her
latest move. 1t is not a move in stock
manipulation, but OF her domicile.

neighbors. has sufficed as a shelter to
Mrs. Green. her daughter and her dog.
A canine pet was one OF the extrava-
gances INDUCED by Aunt Hetty. That's
about the only luxury she Is known
to have permitted herself until the
present week. when she abandoned her
chintz- covered furniture and the Sc

leather and silk hangings and more

and with an army Of servants at her

j A.LEFT HANDED CONFESSION:

.rf Cuu,mins was a gold standard
Republican, as the Times Republican
asserts, why did he write DIT. GorneLi
|that these considerations render
single gold standard absolutely inn
u,osstble, or at least excessively dan
eerous ?."--Duhuque Times-Journal.
The above question is presented to
svoid an acknowledgement of the fas-
sifying being done to tSummins by the
duotatfon Of one paragraph from his
letter to the exclusion Of the other. Tne
tn might reply by asking why
|did the Times-Journal quote the
above paragraph and omit from the
|t-ummins letter the statement There
tore the coinage ratio should cores
| nnnd 10 the intrinsic ratio? How
ever. now that the T.-R. has compelled
me Allison paper to print the whole
letter ii will be very easy matter to
answer the question l,ropounded
/ why did he consider single gold
standard Excessively dangerous SIM
Iply because he was good republican.
The national platform of his party hao
declared in 1892 that:
I. .srhe American people, from trad1-
4tnn and interest favor bi-metaliism,
ana the republican party demands the
Ise Of both gold and silver as standara
money under such provisions as w.ii
secure the maintenance OF the parity
cf the value of the two metals
Even in 1898 the state platform de-
clared:
K 1--WE are in favor Of maintaining both
rold and silver money as unlimited
legal tender for the payment OF deots'
This platform had been made ma

1905 Culnmins wrote in 1903 and was
irving to stick to the doctrine OF BIZ
metallism. but his horse sense landed
lin into the use Of both gold and sill
Yer at the intrinsic ratio" He soon
discovered that this meant the gold
Fsfandari ratio, and the point is that
i s late as 1906 Allison, of the Bland

aion. The T.-R has cought the latter

sives and standpatters be settled ar
the June primary. Cummins men talk
freely everywhere that if Allison gets
the votes of the majority they will
cheerfully support him. But when one
finds a radical, rank standpatter and
asks him if he will vote for and support
Cummins if nominated at the state
wide primary, he squirms and lodges.
In Nevada the other day the writer
met a white haired Allison man and
putting this proposition fairly before
him. his answer was, II retain my
right as a voter to do as l think best.
And the funny part of the whole bus
mess was that during the conversation
he plainly said that he could not sup
port Cummins because Cummins once
went back on the republican party. In
other words, this standpatter proposes
to do the very thing he accuses Cum
minis of doing, and yet sees no incon-
sistency in doing it or saying that he
intends to help elect a democrat to
vote against Cummins.
We are all aware that at the last
state election some twenty thousand
standpatters voted the head of the
democratic ticket or failed to vote for
Cummins. We also know that about
the same number of democrats voted
for Cummins. A study of the returns
will verify these figures But a. this pri-
mary election on June 2, these factors
will be entirely eliminated. The demo-
Gratis scent victory in the air and will
ninety-nine per cent enter their own
voting booths, while one hundred per
cent of the standpatters will vote
against Cummins. So that now we
have a chance to get an exact result
Of the wishes of the majority of the
republican voters of Iowa. Why not
agree to bury the Ratchet on June 2?
It's too much to expect Of the profess
sional politicians, but the people can
express themselves so decidedly on this
subject of U. S. senator, that the pol
iticians will be silenced. All Of which
seems good doctrine for the voter
that stands for the real interests of the
republican party OF Iowa.
