The story is this; On the 10th Of
November, Mr. Hall received ship
ment from the Royal Baking Powder
company of New York. The amount
of the bill purchased from this com
pany was 1888, bought on 80 days.
Mr.. Hall, in order to receive advan.
tage of cash discount, drew a draft
in favor of the Royal company on the
day following receipt of goods, for the
amount of bill. less cash discount and
freight, which amounted to $76.93,
enclosing same In an envelope ad-
dressed to the Royal people, which
was mailed here The transaction was
forgotten in the routine of business
but was brought to mind day or two
ago when the New York company
drew on him through local bank for
the amount of the bill.
Mr. Hall, supposing that an error
had been made by the bookkeeper of
the company advised the bank to re-
turn the draft with the explanation
that it had been paid. Yesterday he

THE DOLLAR A DAY. YARN.

In nearly every campaign the same
old libel is brought up that one or the
other Of the candidates has said dol
lar day is enough for any laboring
man. Sometimes it is the Republican
candidate who is credited with making
this statement, sometimes the Demo
crat, sometimes the candidates of the
other parties. This particular canard
will be remembered here. as having
been charged against one Of the can
didates on the county ticket a few
years ago. 1t was utterly ridiculous,
yet 1T was given wide circulation. In
the present campaign the charge was
revived and made against Judge Taft.
The answer made by the Republican
candidate when the yarn was brought
to his attention was vigorous enough
to show his feelings in the matter.
Judge Taft made this answer to the
charge in speech at Table Rock,
Neb., on October 1:
Now some ordinary, cheap. com.
mon liar has devoted himself to the
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1908-10-17

business of running around the coun.
try and saying that l am in favor of
paying a laboring man dollar day
and that | have said that that is
enough. l was at the head of the Pan,
ANA canal for four years and we pay
steam shovelmen down there $3.50 a
month. AS | figure that out, it makes
a little more than 81 day.
Anybody that says ever made that
remark is a liar and the man who be-
heves it is fool, for why under
heaven should say that for cannot
understand. or in what connection or
under what circumstances"
No sensible person would give the
slightest consideration to such a
charge.
In this day and age there is no one
but believes in high wages. The bet
ter the wages, the more money there
is in circulation and the greater
spread is given to prosperity. Mr..
Taft believes that the wage Garner is
entitled to the highest scale of wages
that can be paid him, so does Mr.
Bryan, so does any man of sufficient
calibre to be chosen from his fellows
as the candidate for high honors.
The only man who would not favor
good wages is the stripe of man who
would maliciously circulate such a
yarn as that credited to and SO vigor-
ously denied by Mr.. Taft

General Grants first administration
as president drew to a close amid
dissatisfaction and criticism.
His administration had found its
principal work in the necessity for
reconstruction in the southern states.
Grants southern policy had not prov
en- altogether satisfactory and sue

ment, which thus refused Grants ad-
mlnlstration its support, had its be-

call issued by the Liberal Republi.

al mass convention of liberal Republi.
cans was held at Cincinnati Nav /,

tended, representing every shade OF
pubic opinion, but all united in Cd.
position to Grantism. A platform was
adopted demanding the removal at
once of all the political disabilities of
ex-Confederates, the cessation of mil.

macy of civil over military power, the
reform of the civil service and, as
