of this. fifty men receive about $780,
600 or $4,000 apiece Fifty. men can
afford to make a good deal of noise
for $4,000 per year each; they can af-
ford to substitute newspapers and to
subscribe to campaign funds.
But the 100000 people in Texas
who pay at least 40 per cent (prob-
ably so or 60) more on wooden goods
than they would with free wool, pay,
each little, and, therefore, do not
take as active an interest in the sub
ject. But democratic candidate for
congress ought to take the side of the
many in spite of the threats of the
greedy few.
The Commoner uses Texas as an IL
lustration because it has the figures in
regard to that state. In Arizona about
900 men own the 100000 sheep In
the territory The Commoner will be
glad to have it's readers send in the
statistics from other states-they can
probably be obtained at the state cap
ital.
The same is true of the tariff on
lumber, iron ore, coal, etc. Protection
is the fight of few for privileges at
the expense of the many; tariff re-
form is the fight of the many to keep
the hands of the few out of their
pockets
The Commoner has presented sam
pie platform and it asks democratic
candidates for congress to accept, re-
iect or amend it to suit themselves,
and it asks the democratic voters to
see to it that democratic candidates
are selected who really reflect the SEN
timent of the people of thir district.
Let the fight begin now and be con-
tinued in the open until we have a
democratic congress made up of men
who will put the interests of the mass
es above the clamor of those who seek
favors.

IS LIKE WOMAN
PRESIDENT TAFT LIKENS RIVER
TO WAYS OF WoMEN-BEAU-
TIFUL AND POWERFUL.
NEEDS TO BE PROPERLY DIRECT.
ED-WiLL REACH NEW Or
LEANS ON SCHEDULE TIME.

NATCHEZ, Miss, Oct 3O.-Like a
woman is the Mississippi river, ac-
cording to President Taft in an ad-
dress at Natchez yesterday. The presi-
dent said:
The Mississippi river in it's power,
in it's Willingness to make eddies and
trouble, in its beauty for it has great
beauty, as we saw when we came
down, reminds one--dar / say it,
of beautiful and powerful women.
"Proper,y directed (only by sugges-
tom she is the greatest aid to prog
ress and happiness that we have in
life. But treated without discretion,
sought TO be hemmed in where she
will, by the force of her character,
break out, she loves the opportunity
for usefulness and sometimes wrecks
everything she strikes.
And now that is the kind of a crea-
ture that the waterways association
invites the speaker of the house and
his associates, a. quorum, 1 may say
of the committee Of the whole of the
states of the Union, to study with a
view to controlling so that we may
make the most of her. And we are
going to- do it. Just how, neither the
speaker nor I incline to confide in
you at present"
Mr. Taft said he would discuss the
subject in more detail at the New
Orleans waterways convention

THE RAILROADS GET IT

Tariff reforIners are just now laugh
ing at the joke the western railroads
have played upon the fruit growers of
California. The senators and members
from California demanded an increase
in the tariff on citrus fruits, and final
ly secured an increase in the tariff
their rates and greedily grabbed up the
exact increase. Of course the fruit
growers are very indignant, and Sen
ator Flint is making the air blue with
threats. He says: The question that
confronts us in this case is whether a
combination of railroads can nullify
the act of congress and destroy a great
industry that congress has, by legis-
lation, endeavored to protect" And
then he adds this note of warning:
II feel that the protective tariff sys
tenn can not be maintained and that
we will be placed in an indefensible
position if we permit one penny raised
by this tariff to go to the railroad cor
porations of this country
If Senator Flint will investigate the
matter he will find that consider
able portion of the tariff is levied for
the benefit of the railroads. Take the
tariff on coal for instance; who gets
the benefit of it? We export coal and
it simply enables the railroads to
charge a higher rate for coal used at
the seaboard than for coal sent to the
seaboard for export.
The more protection is studied, the
more glazing it's iniquities become.
possibly a part of the wool tariff is
absorbed by the railroads.

~ at German trade.
The exporting interests Of Germany
seem to be convinced that the United
States will enforce the maximum
rates against that country on March
81 of next year. AS a result of this
to bear upon the Imperial government
to induce it to assume the offensive be-
fore that time. The existing CONNER
cial agreement between the United
States and Germany will expire next
February. If the German government
accedes to the demands of the business
interests of the country. it will put its
maximum rates into effect against
America at that time.
The appeals submitted to the i'm
perial government are designed to
show that Germany can endure a COM
mercial war much longer than the
United States. 1t has ben pointed out
that in 1908 the imports into Germany
from the United States were valued at
1907 ,000, 900. while the goods shipped
from Germany to America repre-
sented only $121,O00,OOO. The value of
the exports from Germany TO the
United States last year was consider
ably less than that of the preceding
year.
The German exports which will be
most seriously affected by the new
low are silk goods, cotton, fabrics,
wines, razors and post cards. German
business men believe that these arti-
Giles will be Disseminated against

SaIoonmen Petition Council.

MONTESANO. Oct. 30.-At a meet

read which was signed by the sa-
loonkeepers of the city, asking the
council a petition was read which was
signed by the saloonkepers of the city,
asking the council to take the neces-
present number of five. The petition
says, among other things: I'VE have
figured the present population as 1000

it the number of saloons to one for
every 500 inhabitants of the city" The
saloon license is now $1,000.

WANTEO-MEN
(The Conmoner)

\
The congressional campaign of 1910
will soon be upon us and we ought to
begin now to plan for it. Whether we
shall secure a democratic majority in
the next congress depends largely upon
mated and upon the platform on which
they run.
There may be districts in which the
democratic candidate will have 50 large
a personal following that his cOnstitu-
ents will trust him without platform,
but these districts are, fortunately,
very few. AS rule, the man who OBJ
jects to a platform is the very man
who need to be pledged to a platform.
If a candidate is in sympathy with his
people and shares their sentiments he
will not hesitate ~ state his position
frankly and fully. When a candidate
refuses to take the people into his con-
fidence on question at issue it is
holding opinions adverse to the inter-
ests OF those whose votes he asks
The first thing therefore, is to find
a democratic candidate in each con-
gressional district who believes in plat
forms and who is willing to let the
voters know where he stands.
The next thing is to find a demo-
cratic candidate whose platform is ac-
ceptabe 10 the voters of his party
and a platform to be acceptable must
represent the interests of the voters
There is scarcely a district in tl,s
United States where the interests of a
ma jority Of the voters are on the side
of protection. The trouble is that the
protected industries are active and
clamorous. The democratic candidate
should have the courage to protect the
silent majority against the demands of
the noisy minority.
Take the wool question for illustra-
ton. There is probably not a district
in the United States where the owners
Of sheep constitute one-tenth of the
voting population, but that less than
one tenth often has more influence on
the congressman than the more than
nine-tenths. Why? Because the sheep
owners are organized and active while
the rest of the people are often indif-
ferent.
In Texas, for instance. about eleven
hundred men own all the sheep in the
state Q,5O0,O0O) and fifty men own
about half the total number Counting
the clip at 61s pounds to the sheep
the annual wool crop would amount to
about 100000 pounds and be worth
about 100000. If the sheep owners
get the benefit Of the 30 per cent duty
on wool then the eleven hundred sheep
owners in Texas would receive about
$So0,000 from the tariff on wool, and.

Wheat and other cereals are useful on
this account. Corn is generally consid-

alone. Meat meal and bone meal have
been found beneficial by practical poul-

iM'LENDoN AGAIN
ASKS FOR HEARING

S. Guyt. McLendon. deposed railroad
commissioner, has again addressed the
two houses of the legislature with refer
ence to his suspension. He is anxious to
present his defense.
The letter:
ATLANTA, Ca, June 2s, 1909.
ITO the Members OF the General Assem-
bly, of the State Of Georgia, Build
ing.
Gentlemen: Charges having been pre-
ferred by Governor Smith against myself
of sufficient gravity, in his opinion, to
justify my suspension as member OF
the railroad commission, and those
charges having ben submitted to you, In
writing. on June Is. every consideration
Of propriety has placed upon me the
ban of silence since the submission OF
those charges.
"A proper respect for the dignity of
the general assembly denies to me the
right to meet these charges except be-
fore you. 1 have not only maintained
silence, but most respectful inactivity
NOT even having sought a conference
with a single member OF the general as
sembly; / have held no caucus; J have
conducted no campaign, but have relied
solely upon the power of the truth and
the majesty OF the truth when that is
plainly told.
II urge upon you early consideration
of the fact that I am entitled, under
every rule OF fair play, to the earliest
opportunity OF presenting to the general
assembly my own defense, and after that
I will adapt myself most cheerfully to
whatever form of procedure the general
assembly may prescribe.
with great respect. am,
Yours very truly.

SHOULD FARMERS OWN
THEIR HAY PRESSES

Every farmer who raises any consider
able amount of hay these days, should
purchase a hay press. Excepting the very
limited market that is right at homo.
there is no market at all for INHALED hay.
There's the first argument. A hay press
enables farmers to put their hay into
the one form in which 1t can always be
sold.
The second argument is that baled hay
brings a better price than INHALED hay.
The difference is not merely the cost OF
baling. Farmers who are prepared to do
their own baling can figure on liberal
compensation for their work, and still have
q nice margin Of profit on their baled
hay over what they would receive for 1t
INHALED.
The lesson, therefore. is that II you are
raising hay for market, be prepared to
bale 1t. Don't count your hay made"
until you have put II in the condition
in which you can certainly market 1t and
get the highest market price for 1t.
The International Harvester company
builds, along with their many other ex-
cellent machines, two hay presses that
are well suited to the work of aver
press type, such as are used by large
contract hay balers. They are one and
two-horse presses that enable farmers to
do their own work They do as good work
as the professional hay balers can turn
out with their belt power presses, they
do It fast enough to be satisfactory, they
can be operated with a very small force,
and best of all. they enable each farmer
to bale his hay at times when 1T is most
convenient or when he has no other work
for himself and his boys to do.
Such a hay press should not be looked
upon as an expense, like wages or horse
hire 1t should be regarded as a perma-
nent investment which enables him to get
more dollars out OF the hay field as GER
tainly as II he purchased additional acres
OF land. The investment needs be made
but once. Good one and two-horse presses
such as the ones above mentioned, ought
TO last many years with no cost worth
mentioning for uplSeep or repairs. Sum-
married., the advantages are, good wages
for the farmer and his horses at such
times as they would be earning nothing
better prices for hay, hay can be pre-
served better and a certain market fol-
the hay at all times.

dry farmer.
This information was received by Sec

ideas among the masses is recognized.

It could not adopt too hostile an attitude

PARIS, June 29.-Signor Guglielmo Fer
zero, the Italian historian who visited the
United States last year, continues In the
Figaro today his comments on the anti
plutocratic' movement in America.
He calls attention again to the lack
of organized resistance on the part Of
the rich. which he explains by a general
recognition on their part that the move
ment has been provoked by real abuses
which must be corrected. Many wealthy
people sympathize with this movement
and some sons of rich men nave thrown
themselves into the fight.
This fact. the writer considers to be
another proof OF the endurance of ideal
ism in America, where the basis OF every
thing is the theoretical rule of the ma
