ALDRIGH BILL
MUCH IN FAVOR
State SuIons at Charleston Of
All Parties Favor the New
Currency Bill.
speelal CORRESPONDENCE.

Special Correspondence.
CHARLESTON, Feb. 12-Many
of the members OF the legislature, re-
gardless of political Affiliations are
in favor OF the Aldrich emergency
currency bill that is at present oc-
cupylng the attention OF the members
of the United States Senate. Mem
hers of the legislature are taking
considerable interest in this financial
measure, and the general opinion Of
the members Is that the bill ought
to pass. The bin came up for con
sideration on Monday the 10th inst.
Attending the legislature, as mem
bers, are large number of business
men, brokers, manufacturer. coal
operators and lumber men, individ-
uals who have personal knowledge
of what effect the recent panic had
on the industries Of the state. Coal
mines. lumber mills and various 9th
'er industries were compelled to
cease work because the men operat-
ing them We're unable to. get money
with which to pay their employees.
Major McGrew. member of the
house from Monongaila county, and
vice-president Of one Of the princi-
pal banks Of Morgantown, is legls-
lator who is deeply interested in the
Aldrich bill. ut provides for in
creasing the currency Of the country
to the amount of $500. 100000 If 1t
is necessary" said Mr.. McGrew.
This would enable the banks and
the big corporations to secure suf-
ficient currency to tide them over any
condition brought about by depres-
sion n the money market"
The bill is Endorsed by Speaker
Seaman of the House and by Presi-
dent McDermott of the Senate, both
business men who realize that there
must be some national legislation
which has for its object the preven-
ton of an industrial stagnatlon caus-
ed by the lack of sufficient currency.
Delegate Daniel Maxwell, of Ohio
county, favors the bill because it
means big surplus currency which
can be called upon when needed, and
that means better times. Delegate
Williams is another member who
favors 1t. Senator B. F. Bailey, of
Grafton, one of the leaders of the
upper house, says the bin ought to
pass as 1t would be preventative of
hard times; that is hard times caus-
ed by the inability of the banks and
big manufacturing concerns to get
money.
Although the Aldrich bill is being
fathered by Republican. this does
not prevent Senator R. F. Kidd, one
of the Democratic leaders, favoring
the project elf It means more money
and better times. Senator Sam
Montgomery is another stalwart Re-
publican who favors the measure.

The Republican
Flim-Flam

Carl Nelson, editor of the
Cando Democrat, who is a Nor
wegian, says:
"The republicans have case
of too much Johnson over in
Ward county. They were shout
ing for NJ. N. Johnson, for poll
tical effect. but that was not
enough-so o they had T.. A.
Johnson, of Minot nominated
for governor and at the recent
state pow-wow they made Jim
Johnson of Minot chairman of
the republican state organiz-
alton. This johnson dope is
all right when given out in
moderate doses-but now they
are dishing it out by the tub
ful, and it gives every self-re-
pecting scandinavian a sick
feeling. It isn't so very long
ago that the North Dakota re-
publican bosses told the Scan
dinavian aspirants for Office to
20 way back and sit down
they were just voting cattle
anyway" 80 said Alex McKen-
zie. Everybody remembers
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1908-10-01

how the Scandinavians revolt
ed and organized the Scandi-
navian-American league. That
helped some, but the bosses
did not realize their peril until
afte: John Burke, democrat,
had been elected governor.
Now the Mckenzie Kennedy
crowd are trying their -est to
get this big voting element
back into line and are throwing
out johnson sops' for that pur-
pose.
But will-it take?
"It may-we look for the fake
to work to some extent, but we
know a lot of intelligent Scan
dinavians who can see through
the film -flam and refuse to be
caught"

Judge Taft would make a

going from ocean to ocean.

wide veranda in the palatial

brother, Charles P. Taft, in
Cincinnati, drinking iced tea

and keeping the atmosphere in
motion with palm-leaf fan.
The reason the porch cam
paign was abandoned was the
reception of news from the
workers in every state:
"Come over into Macedonia

Verify, we say unto you, there
be no such thing this blooming
year of our Lord as Republican
cinches, like unto those where
in we reveled in times past.
The enemy doth frighten us.
We need succor."
And 80 the dream of assured
success, which made pleasant
the Republican couch. when
the campaign began, is no
more; nowadays, the big chiefs
arise in the morning to tell of
awful nightmares manifesting
Democrats entering the White
House by the front door, and

WE PAY MORE
THAN FOREIGNERS

LIE tariH has always been
an important question in Presi-
dental campaigns, but never
more important than this year,
Hundreds of letters have pour
ed into the Democractic Nation
al Committee headquarters at
the Auditorium Annex show
ing the fallacies of the protect
i've tariff league. Men who
have voted the Republican
ticket for many years write
that they favor the election of
William Jennings Bryan en-
account of the tariff as exploit
ed by the Republican party.
Investigations show that our
American machinery and other
expectations can be bought for
just half the price asked in our
country, on the Mexican bor-
der.
These astounding revelations
have caused thousands of Re-
publicans to flock under the
banner of Organism. o. b.
Steen of Los Angeles, CAL, has
made study of the tariff ques-
ton as it is carried on under
the republican regime.
Mr.. Steen has undisputed
proof on this matter and in
speaking of the tariff question
said.
"One phase of the tariff ques-
ton that seems of sufficient
Importance to demand publi-
city in this campaign is the
alleged balance of trade claim
ed by the protective tariff
league and officially confirmed
by government reports.
"When you ask why that
balance of trade was not appar-
ent in the shape of gold imports
from abroad, the stereotyped
has been that it was carried as
credit balances in Europe
which we could draw against
when needed. Republicans
have been painfully silent in
regard to this mythical balance,
due us since the panic began.
The attention of the public waa
first called to this fallacy in
June, 1907, when We borrowed
some millions of gold from
France, practically hypothecat-
ing future exports of American
wheat that had not been har-
vested. Since that time we
have imported tnanv millions
of gold, all of which have been
borrowed. My Investigations
show that an American type
writer appears upon our list of
exports at the American price,
$lO5, and is sold in Mexico for
$625O, the difference being a
part of our balance of trade
that does not exist except for
campaign purp ses. I am
credibly informed, by those in
a position to know that the
same rule applies in our ex-
ports to other countries. Many
men predicted their plans for
business enterprises upon the
official statements that enor-
nous sums were due us from
foreign nations, and in conse-
quence, the real business in
terests of the country have
suffered. AS a republican L
used to believe in protection,
and l may say I do yet when
necessary to protect American
labor; but l do not believe in
that kind of protection to
American labor that pays an
American woman two cents for
making a shirt and a China
man ten cents for washing il.
I do not believe in that kind of
protection that charges an
American girl $1O5 for a type
writer and sells a Mexican
banker one of the same make
for $50. l do not believe in
that kind of protection that
enables the Mexican farmer to
buy American wire and nails
40 per cent cheaper than the
American farmer,living almost

THEY BLAME
THE DEMOCRATS


lican agitators refer to 1893, as
indicative of the times to be
expected If tn 9 democrates
should get into power. It is
amusing because while such
claims are supposed to repre-
sent great political wisdom
they really prove the agitator
to be hopeless ignoramus and
a dolt who gives himself away
by opening his mouth says the
Anoka Free Press.
If such an agitator had sense
enough to look up the facts for
himself, instead of parrot-like
repeating what some other
hare-brained party zealot has
uttered, he would find that the
wretched times of 1884 were
republican made; that they
were the effects OF the McKin-
'ley tariff laws. which were de.
ficit breeders from the start
and finally plunged the coun.
try into virtual bankruptcy.
The Mckinley tariff law
went into effect in Oct. 18 80
During even the second month
of it's operation government
treasury receipts fell off from
$4O,00O,O0O to $28,00O,O0O, while
government expenditures in
creased from $38,OOO,OOO to $42,-
100000.
In 1891, according to govern
ment reports, the Mckinley
tariff law caused deficits as fol-
lows: February, two million
dollars; March, two millions;
May, four millions; July, five
millions. October, three mill
Ions; November one million;
December, four millions.
In 1892: January, five mil.
lion dollars deficit; April, four
millions; May, three millions,
July. three millions; October,
fourty thousands, November,
two millions; December, one
million.
This was all before Cleve-
land became president. After
he became president in 1893
the Mckinley tariff law con
tinued in full force until Aug.
ust 1894 and was reposible for
he deficits in addition to those
named as follows: January,
1893, four millions; April, Eve
millions; July, nine millions;
August, ten millions; Septem
Der, one millions; October, five
millions; November. eight mil
lions; December, eight mill
lions; January, 1884. seven mil
lions; February, four millions;
March, seven millions; April,
ten millions; May, six millions;
July, two millions.
For forty-seven months this
climax of republican. infamies,
the Mckinley tariff law, was
permitted to exert it's blighting
influence upon the country,
and for nearly two thirds of
that time the republican party
was in power, with Benjamin
Harrison as it's president.
It was because the country
has been forced into the throes
of a financial upheaval that
the people sought relief in a
changed administration. But
the evil had progressed too
far for immediate remedy.
Twenty-Five months, prior to
Cleveland's Inauguration, of a
blighting curse in the shape
of republican tariff laws that
produced deficit in the trea-
sury of millions of dollars
nearly every month during its
continuance had 80 ruined the
financial situation of the coun.
try that no power on earth
could stave off the conse-
quences. The same curse had
to be continued in effect fol
eighteen months under Cleve.
