NELSON BOUT NOT OFF
Harry Gilmore Jr., Acting
for Mcfarland, Confident
Match Will Be Held.
BATS MONEY NOT POSTED
Coffroth, the Coast Promoter, Sends
Word That Everything Will
Be Adjusted.

Battling Nelson is not likely to call
off his match with Mcfarland, even if
Bat has not posted his forfeit as yet
This is the belief expressed by Man
ager Harry Gilmore of the Mcfarland
camp, who received telegram from
Jimmy Coffroth yesterday assuring
him all arrangements for the bout
were 20. K"
Gilmore became aroused early yes
terday over the fact that Nelson had
not put up the $4,000 ne promised TO
do. Mcfarland already has his money
up. Gilmore wired to Cofroth. de-
handing that Nelson be asked to place
the sum demanded, and message was
received from the promoter promising
that all would be Strengthened out
Nelson has been appearing at Buff
falo and Rochester the last two weeks.
and he has been quoted as saying that
Mcfarland need not get impatient, but
that if he is overly anxious to battle,
he had better box Freddie Welsh first
Nelson is quoted as having said that
he would like, if possible. to postpone
his bout with Mcfarland until Sept Z
or 9.
"Coffroth has enough influence with
Nelson to induce him to keep the date
for which he signed" said Gilmore
yesterday and we are not worried
about the bout being called or Just
why Bat doesn't put UP his forfeit is
the thing we can't understand. He
ought to have done it long ago.
Nelson wants TO take on Dick Hy
land first and Coffroth is practically
certain to guarantee us our end of the
forfeit out of the receipts, in case the
boys meet There is a clause in the
articles prohibiting Nelson from meet
ing anyone before he fights Packey,
but this might be adjusted"
Gilmore's hand has almost entirely
recovered from its recent injury
There was considerable talk current
yesterday about the Battler having
such heavy expenses to maintain his
property holdings that he was actually
handicapped for want of $4,000 at pres
ent. but no official statement the point
was made by Nelson.

Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1909-09-07

One of the results of the continued
prosperity of the farmer has been a
new trend in finance. The farm mort
gage, once the favorite investment of
the conservative capitalist, almost has
ceased to exist. In sections of the
West that ten years ago were covered
with farm mortgages like the dande-
cumbrance on land has become almost
a rarity.
Millions of dollars thus withdrawn
from investment helped materially to
promote the boom in stocks. Other
millions still sought safe and profit
able employment.
AS a result of these conditions the
bond business became unprecedentedly
active These securities had generally
been maintained on safe and sane
basis. In the minds of most people
not intimately familiar with finance
they were far superior to stocks. This
idea was effectively emphasized by a
campaign of publicity through some of
the more widely read magazines and
financial publications.
More recently, and as result of
the increased demand for these secu-
rites, the basis of bond issues has
been materially extended. Hundreds
of small undertakings have been
financed in this manner in preference
to stock issues. A special effort is
made to appeal to the small investor,
and apparently with success.
In view of the growing popularity
of this form of investment, it is inn
portant that it should be guarded from
the operations Oh nnscrupulous sharp
ers. If the bond is to he the heir Of
the mortgage, it is entitled to every
safeguard that the courts and public
sentiment can supply.

For Revenue or for spoiIs.

The tariff monopolists drove sharp
bargain with Western cattle interests
when the hide tax of 10 per cent was
put into the Dingley act. A bargain
equally one-sided was made with an.
other Western agricultural interest
when the raw-wool schedules were
written. In each instance the purpose
of the tariff monopolist was to pur-
chase the farmers submission to
wholesale tariff robbery. And in each
instance the farmer bought gold
brick"
There is no need for the purposes of
this article to dwell upon the obvious
fact that the farmer who shears a
few sheep or fattens a few steers is,
under the Republican scheme of mo-
nopoly tariff, taxed more for the shoes,
the clothing, the blankets and the
leather he buys that he is benefited by
the tariff on hides and wool. The fol-
ly and the false pretensc of making
protection the primary object of tariff
taxation are the main points to keep
in mind They are at the root of the
troubles which threaten the disruption
of the Republican party.
No law framed upon the Republican
doctrine of protection can ever pro-
duce a tariff that is not honeycombed
with greed. sharp practice and injus-
tice. The only honest guide is the
Democratic principle of tariff for rev
enue. with such incidental protection
as 1t may carry with it.

Aldrich, Payne, Cannon and even
the President himself must have par
taken of the hero sadonica which of
old distorted mems countenances into
the semblance of a smile that was only
a mask for pain Else they must be
stricken with political blindness or
have some deep. Interior scheme by
party revolt their tariff tinkering is
raising
The more than cordial receptions
given Beveridge and La Toilette on
recent visits to their home States
leave no doubt of how the Republic
ans of Indiana and Wisconsin feel
about the party's broken pledges of
tariff reduction The letters and tele-
grams approving the stand taken by
Senators Bristow, Cummins, Nelson
and Clapp tell the same story from
Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota.
If Washington is, in any sense,
barometer of national politics, COM
munications received there from Ohio
toms alliance with Aldrich is making
trouble for the Republican party in
the Presidents own State. The dis
content becomes more significant
when it is remembered that Mr.. Bur
ton went to the Senate as the political
ally of the President. Though Wash
ington has ample evidence that Re
publican dlscontent is widespread.
even in the States of the far Pacific
Slope, Aldrich talks cheerily, and the
President wears the smile that never
fades.
The duty of the Democratic party is
plain. 1t is to rally at once for an ag-
gressive campaign advocating such
tariff reforms as the betrayed Repub-
lican voters demand. 1t is now not
only the duty but the privilege of the
Democratic party to rescue the country
from the greed which has proved too
strong even for the vast influence of
the President.-St. Louis Republic.
