NO EASY JOB, SAYS HADLEY
$50, 900 Republicans Clamoring
for Pie Are Troublesome.

Governor Hadley's visit to the fair
was the feature attraction and large
crowd was present to hear his adj

Mayor Jones delivered an address
of welcome, after which the Govern
or spoke twenty minutes. He prais-
ed the fair and said that the manage
ment was able to exhibit something
that no other fair in Missouri had
been able to show in forty years-a
Republican Governor.
"The poultry industry of Missouri
produces more wealth than the gold
and silver mines of Colorado" the
Governor said. "These fairs assist
that industry, and we want to increase
the poultry business until the entire
Ozark region is a vast poultry yard. "
Mr.. Hadley told the people that he
wanted them to come and visit him,
not to ask for pardons or political ia
vors, but just an old-fashioned visit.
'It's hard job to be Governor,
that is, a Republican Governor. With
$50, 600 Republicans who were kept
away from the pie counter for forty
years, it is no easy task"

BRAINLEss RICH A PERIL.
Archbishop FaIoncio Says They
Are Country's Greatest
Menace.

Chicago, Sept.-The ''brainless
rich" are the greatest menace to this
country, according to Archbishop
Diamede Falconio, apostolic delegate
to the United States from Rome, who
is in Chicago to attend the consecra-
ton of the Rev. Edward M. Dunno as
bishop of Peoria.
Asked at the residence Of Arch
bishop Quigley, where he is guest,
what he considered the greatest evil
in this country and how that evil
could be suppressed, he gave this an
swer:
Il consider the prevalence of di-
vorce the greatest of this country's
evils and | consider the misuse Of
wealth by the brainless rich, who
promote divorce and other evils, the
greatest menace to the United States. "
Applying this theme, he continued;
'The misuse Of wealth is, perhaps,
the root of most of the country's so.

Common People Victims.

So long as protection on the manu-
featured product continues, just so
long will the monopoly that protec-
ton makes possible continue to extort
to the utmost limit from the people.
Nevertheless, the theory of the New
England and the Northeastern States
in favor of free raw material and pro-
teeted manufactures seems to be the
dominant and controlling policy OF
the Republican party.
Iregret that some Democrats have
fallen in with this New England idea,
at least to the extent of free raw ma.
terials, Free raw materials, in many
cases at least, may be all right, pro-
vided there is at the same time com
pensating reduction in the rates Of
duty on manufactured products. Blu
it seems to me that to get free raw
materials without regard to circum
stances, while maintaining a high
protective duty on the manufactured
products, would be merely to TAX,
money from the public treasury t.
enrich monopolies, without in tn,
least benefitting the consumer.

behind which the monopolies are in

| do not know how others may
view the subject but to me it seems
monstrous that a great industrial
monopoly, sheltered behind a tariff
wall and plundering the consumers
almost at viii, should be granted free
raw materials and at the same time
retain all the advantages of a high
protective tariff on its manufactured
products. That means merely to
take SO much money from the public
treasury and turn it into the treasury
of the trust.

Harms Is Condemned.

After taking up seriatim each
charge Of Harms and disproying II,
the committee concludes:
"1ho most searching investigation
by your committee failed to reveal
any trace Of dishonesty on the part OF
any cmploye at the East St. Louis
station. The record Of that station
for the past three years shows that
1877 carcasses in their entirety have
been destroyed for food purposes and
1,O47,j41 pounds of meat have been
destroyed for food purposes. This
meat was destroyed because 1t was
either sour, tainted. putrid, unclcan,
rancid or otherwise unsound, UNI
hcalthful or unwhOlesome. and there
fore unfit for human food This rec.
ord indicates anything but dishonesty
or incompctency.
ut is the belief OF your committee
that the men at the East st. Louis
station. from the top TO the bottom.
are adequately honest and competent;
that they are discharging their duty
to the service and to the public in a
conscientious, high-minded, efficient
way, and that no meat is passed from
the East st. Louis station bearing the
mark of federal inspection which is
not in every respect 1T for human
food. The record shows that many OF
the employees at the East St. Louis
station have worked overtime in their
efforts to give an honest. efficient In.
spectlon, and II is TO be regretted that
the word of disgruntled, dissatisfied
employe, irresponsible and answera-
BILE to no one. should be made the &C.
casion of an attack upon a service
which is honestly conducted and
which means so much to the Amer.
lean consumer of meat food products
and to the cattle sheep and hog rails
ers of the country, who are bound 10
suffer from any attack, no matter how
uncalled for, which may be made
upon the service"
In conclusion the report says there
IN adequately no basis OF fact for the
charges made by Mr.. Harms, and yet
II is undoubtedly q fact that these
same charges will, to greater or
less extent, reflect injuriously upon
the foreign market for American meat
food products.
