Discussing high prices OF food MI
Carrigan quoted Samuel Gompers,
who upon investigation declared that
the cost of living in England is from
fifty to one hundred per cent higher
than in the United States. Consumers
are more numerous here than former
Iy and producers fewer. Prices DEE
pend largely on supply and demand
as to food stuffs. He successfully de-
MED the charge Of e9StraYagance made
by Davis, showing that the govern

ure of interior improvements such as
rural mail service, waterways i'm
provements, FEDERAL buildings and the
like, all so vastly greater in character

senator scott Speaks.
senator Scott discussed national
squestlons at considerable length, al
though he prefaced his remarks with
the statement that according to previ-
Gus arrangements of the committee in
charge he had expected only to pro-
nounce the bened.at!on, others making
the principal speeches of the evening
He warmly thanked Harrison county
for It's endorsement of him fur re-

Reviewing his record OF almost
twelve years in the United States Sen
ate Senator Scott declared. Had
to live 1t all over. I would not change

apologies to make. 1 cast my vote on
every occasion with what ability had

Discussing the tariff. Senator Scott
emphasized the fact that this great
country and especially West Virginia,
could not be prosperous without the
protective tariff as now applied to the
countrys industries. He defended h.s
course in the Senate on the question
of tariff on glass, sh~ wing that eighty
per cent of the cost II glass IS for la
Dor and that the tariff benefits the
workers more than the manufacturers.
He stated that with sixty per cent
duty on glass. dozen glass pitchers
can now be bought at the American
factory for the price of one years ago.
when there was no tar:n and no fac
tories In this country by reason cfI
that fact.
Following this he reminded his au-
dlence- OF the fact that the West Vir-
GINA senator's stood out bravery for
tarifE on steel, tin plate. coal and many
other products OF West Virginia and
won the tribute from Senator Bailey,
Democrat that on protective tariff III
he believed in It, he would rather oc-
cupy the position OF the West Virginia
senators than any others as they not
only wanted their own state protected
but the whole country as well, and
they wanted to keep the peoples
money at home.
Much Money Sent Away.
Declaring that reduction OF only
one-tenth of one per cent on tin had
resulted in two million dollars being
sent to Wales and other foreign coun-
tries. which should have been kept at
home and been paid to American tins
workers. And with a one per cent re-
c..c:-2n of tariff on steel, this country
.lost $4,000. 200 to foreign labor In four
