president at Winona were probably
prepared by the same party who pre-
pared the tariff bill. After analysing
and exposing the misleading character
Of the figures submitted by the presi.
dent, Sen. Dolliver said, "Such an an
alysis of the <Payne-Aldnich tariff,
schedule by schedule, and item by
item, together with a careful dissec-
ton of the Winona table prepared for
the purpose of proving that real and
substantial downward revision" had
been accomplished, would convince
anyone that so far as the public is
concerned, the tariff revision in fact
carries rates as high or higher than
the Dingley tariff law on most articles
of general use in their finished con-
dition. Most of the reductions were
so trivial as to be ridiculous and were
either upon articles which we do not
import to any extent, but, on the con-
trary, export in enormous quantities,
or were for the purpose of further
protecting the manufacturers, espec-
tally by reducing the duties on the
raw materials, while most of the rates
on the finished products were either
kept at the Dingley tariff standard or
were increased. In fact, a careful
scrutiny of the particular items that
were changed, and the exact trifing

change of rate in each case, shows
how cunningly the revision was ar.
ranged in order to deceive the public
and look like real revision downward.
Very Little Free.
A great deal Of stress has been laid
upon the supposed enlargement of the
free list, and yet the only new items
on the free list Of the Payne-AIdrich
tariff are hides, a few semi-finished
coaI-tar products, radium, works of art
over 20 years old, miners appliances
and Brazilian nuts. The senator
omitted to mention the fact observed
by "Mr. DooIey' that the tariff on bird.
seed had been reduced.
Both of our senators criticized the
bill and refused to give it their vote.
With such Republican testimony
against it, it is hardly necessary to
occupy your time discussing schedules.
l will only mention a few things in
confederation of Sen. Delivers re-
markable statement.
Must Eat Ton Of Sugar.
The reduction of the duty on sugar
was paraded as great gain to the
consumer. The old rate was 81 per
100 pounds. The new rate is s1.95.
To benefit by this reduction to the ex.
tent of 81, family will have to con.
sumo whole ton of sugar.
The president stated in his Wi.
mona speech that there were 261
items in the cotton schedule. Of these
% had been decreased; At had been
increased and 1856 let alone. The fact
is that all the decreases in the cotton
schedule were upon cotton yarns, ex.
cept one, and solely for the benefit of
the manufacturers. Through the
whole range of cotton cloths the most
startling and inexcusable increases
were made, not increasing the Dingley
rates openly, but: by changing the
classification and the method of as.
sessing the duties.
In the metals schedule there were
few reductions on iron ore, pig and
scrap iron, bar and sheet iron and
steel, none of which commodities are
ever purchased by the general public,
The old rates were retained on most
finished articles ready for use, such
as cutlery. Upon structural steel
| ready for builders use the duty which
had been previously SO a ton was
nearly doubled by being transferred
to another class. 49, 's-=.

Brands Eberhart q StandDat-
ter and Declares Him a
Foe to Sen. Clapp.
Says Danger to Junior Senator is
from Stand-pat Republicans and
Not From Progressive DEM
ocrats of Legislature.

Former Governor John Lind dellV-
cred q notable speech at Albert Lea
Tuesday evening, October II. He re-
viewed the issues in the campaign,
and his speech has easily been the
sensation of the campaign. The idol
Of the Minnesota Democracy branded
Governor A. O. Eberhart, the Republi-
can nominee, as standpatter. He
showed the connection between the
Republican nominee and his chairman,
and pointed out that Progressive Dem
ocrats and Progressive Republicans
are united in this election. The eli
max came in the declaration that
progressives of both parties favored
the reelection of Senator Moses E.
Clapp, who has been consistent Pro-
gressive in Congress. The charge
was made that the Junior Senator's
danger is not from Democrats but
from the stand-pat element in his own
party. Incidentally, Gov. Lind took
occasion to declare in language un-
mistakable that he was in no sense a
candidate for the place held by Sen
ator Clapp and that he favored per-
sonally the return of Senator Clapp
to the United States senate there to
finish the work that he had begun so
well in the reform of the administra-
TONS unspeakable railroad rate bill
and in other progressive legislation.
Coming as it did at a time when
Senator Clapp's political manager was
charging the Republican state admin
istration with an apparently deliber'
ate and studied program of ignoring
the senator's candidacy the Lind dec.
laration for Clapp has brought the
entire state of Minnesota, politically
speaking, to it's feet. Senator Clapp's
friends are jubilant, as they have a
right TO be. The scheme, Matched, in
corpo1 alton headquarters at St. Paul,
to encompass his defeat through the
aid of Gov. Eberhart, his campaign
manager, Senator E. E. Smith, and
their satellites, will certainly be de.
feated by Governor Lind's exposure.
Already several Democratic candi-
dates for the senate and house of rep
resentatives, following Governor Lind S
declaration, have announced their in
tention of voting for the return of
Senator Clapp if they are honored by
election.
That Governor Lind was to take a
strong and vigorous position on coun.
ty option was to be expected. In
this respect his speech was a veri
fcation of the hopes of his friends
He complimented James Gray for his
courage and fearlessness and impaled
Governor Eberhart for his failure to
inform the people where he stands on
this important question.
The Broadway Theatre, Albert Lea
was crowded to the doors when Gov
ernor Lind opened his address, which
was designed to make so profound an
impression on the Minnesota political
situation.

reference to the retirement of James

A. Tawney. He congratulated the
progressive people of the First district
upon the good beginning they had
made. He pointed out the importance
of the event not only to the people of
the district but of the whole state.
He complimented MIR. Tawney on his
conceded abilities and the service he
had rendered. He said he was in en-
tire harmony with the leaders Of the
Republican party, and in the light of
this fact and the Presidents public
endorsement of Mr.. Tawney he re-
garded his defeat as phenomena Of
the times" His defeat could only be
defended because "the conviction had
forced itself on the masses of the
Republican voters of the district that

trains and acts politically have ceased
to represent the people," That con-
viction was the cause of his defeat. l

Mayor Ayers Outlines His Policy
at Board Of Aldermen's
First Meeting.
THE TOWN OFFICIALS RETAINED

That Morristown will not step back
ward under the administration of May
or Ayers. who began his first elective
term on Saturday, was made manifest
by his first message to the board Of
aldermen delivered after taking the
oath Of Office. He said:
To the Board Of Aldermen of Morris
town,
4 Gentlemen:
On entering upon a new year ! would
thank you, one and all. for the cont
dence and support given during the
year just closed.
Early In 1909, this board. and the
town, suffered asevere loss in the death
Of our late mayor, Thomas w. Cauld-
well, the more so, that lines Of pro-
gress contemplated by him had been
scarcely commenced. Still some pro-
gress has been made in an improve
ment OF civic conditions, but much
remains to be accomplished.
Our town finances have been care
fully managed, all committees exercis-
ing careful supervision of expenses
under their charge.
The present year brings fresh bur-
dens on our appropriations, the
amount to be set aside for interest
and sinking fund on our sewer bonds,
together with cost of maintenance of
the sewer system after July lst, next,
when the system is expected to be
completed, necessitates an appropria-
tion of Sl7, ,42O.00.
Owing to an enlargement Of it's la
bors the board of health asks for an
increased appropriation, this is rem
dered needful by reason of expense
caused by it's new dairy inspection de-
partment, which all agree, is step in
the right direction also further in
creased by cost Of inspection needed
in connection with the laying of lat
eral sewers. which will be generally
put down during the present year. /
therefore recommend, an appropriation
of 100000 to meet the general and
special expenses of this department..
The street committee ask for the
same amount as was allotted for 1909,
the work of this department. is mani
fold and will continue so. 1t is ex-
pected, that, acting under the ordin-
ance passed at the December meeting,
a large number of sewer connections
from the street main to the curb will
be made by the time the years work
On improvements OF streets is com
menced, and many demands will be
made for restoring the street surfaces.
During the past year street surfacing
has been done in a permanent way OIL

street, with brick pavement, and on.
Elm street, with macadam, using a
selected asphalt binder. Madison ave-
nue. and portion Of South street,
county roads, have been resurfaced in
like manner by the county road COM
mittee and it is expected that consid-
cradle work will be done by the county
authorities during the present year.
It must be born in mind, that all the
principal roads leading from the Nor
