TO DEFEND THE TARIFF.

Congress appropriated S25, 900 to
pay for presidential junkets. The
"Big Squash" is going to take a
swing through the west, his expenses
to be paid out of this appropriation.
He has already given 1t out that on
this trip he will defend the recent
republican congress and the spawn
of the monopolies-the Payne tariff
bill. In this way the consumers of
this western country, who are being
plundered by the protective tariff
system are contributing money for
defense Of the thief that's despoil-
ing them. "Turn the rascals out!"--
Let the people rule!"-Lexington

COST OF LIVING.

The New York World makes IN,
following comparison Of the cost o
LIVING and conditions confronting
the unemployed during the panic -
1873 and the panic ~ 1907:
"Witnuut impugniug the accuracy
of the bureau Of labor's 'rclativ,
prices commodities, published by
the World yesterday, the figures can
not measure the actual rise in the
cost uf living from 1897 To 1905. An
I increase Of 81 per cent only in the
! price of all commodities does not
/ begin to state the actual situation
/ Of the consumer. Still, the figures
do follow the tendency Of prices.
They reveal the huge revolution
which has come about in the control
Of industry in the last fifteen years,
In lSgj We had panic. Prices
had begun To fall in 1881, when il
was furcsccn. BY 1894 the statisti-
cal average of prices was ll.G
points, ~ say H. per cent, below
the boom year 1880. Prices remained
low for five years, showing at the
bottom decline of more than one
quarter The panic was cured by
natural means. People who needed
money sold their goods cheap, and
purchases wcr" stimulated. At the
least, men out Of work for time
could live chcaply.

client industrial Dictatorship. The
steel trust for months held mp prices
to its own loss and the general dis.
advantage. The hig glass makers
held the little ones in line. Lumber
could not d"clin" much, because un-
der high tariffs "" have cut nearly
alluur trees. Food and clothing rose
in cost. And the stated prices Of all
commodities averaged ten points
hIghcriu 1905, in theprofound deprcs-
sion after the panic, than they were
in the boom year 1880. Twenty
years of progress and invention had
gon" tor naught. Processes were
cheaper but prices were higher. 1t
was costing much more to live In
1908, when vast army of honest
aud Industrious men were out of
work, than in 1880, when all were

close to S7j0,000 worth of concen-
trates every year. Mr.. Desloge be-
gan operations in st. Francois coun-
ty In 1877 on property afterwards
sold in 1886 to the st. Joseph Lead
Company. This DeslOge property
had reached II yearly output of half
"A million in 1883. The present Dcs.
logo property, operated since 1894. is
located on the site of the old Mine Il
Joe, later known as the Bogy tract,
and which yielded large quantities
of very rich galena from the top
workings. Under the present Dcs-
logc management the Bogy tract
had produced about Sl.j0O,0 900 up to
the end of the last fiscal year.
In such II brief discussion it is
worth while only to mention the
fact that Il great deal has been ac-
complished for the district by active
promoters like George J. Cole and
Harry Cantwell; by early investors
like the late Robert Tetley, and by
the various captains Of industry,
among whom should be included
Arthur Thatcher, who placed the
old Central property with the divi-
dend-paying concerns; Gus Setz of
the st. Joe Company, who worked
out the metallurgical and smelling
processes by long years of applica-
ton; John Flowers, the mine captain
extraordinary of the Desloge Com
pany; II, NJ. McChesney OF the Ma
tional, whose power plant is n
model, and whose chats dumps
probably are the lranest in the dis
trict; and, later in the field, Oscar
NJ. Bilharz, of the Doe Run Com
pany, who has put German tech
nical knowledge to practical work
with unusual results.
Along with these men deserve to
rank considerable number of men
actually in the field, particularly the
ola diamond drill men, who put
many holes down in the heart Of
Flat River before the presence of
pay rock was actually established.
Taese are men like George X. VIII
liams, former state Mine Inspector,
and who drilled the first hole to the
sand in the Flat River district
proper; Oliver Crump, one of the
Veterans with the st. Joe Company
Jim Cole, Josh Long, the Alexan-
der boys, and two others of the Will
liams family, John and l.. II. Will
liams; and "Bill" Tetley, who drilled
the Derby and Irpndale tracts for
George Cole. And there were IA good
of others who knew ms much
about tho business as these men.
