Will Not Engage In Throwing Mud at MudsIngers
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ooOo0o0oOo oSo0oooeoOoOoS

An article published originally In
the Cleveland Leader (Rep) of Sun
day, Aug. 2S, and telegraphed to
other papers under an Akron date,
imputed to Governor Harmon the fol-
lowing utterance with reference to
strike conditions at Columbus; THE
trouble with us is that the police
force is worthless, the mayor an inn
beetle and the people In general cow
ards"

nor made this remark in an inter
view at silver Lake near Cuyahoga
Falls, where he attended and ad.
dressed farmers picnic.
Such expression is so foreign to
Governor Harmons manner of speak
ing that II Is self.eWdent fake,
Icarcely worth the dignity Of denial,
It's origin in the columns of rabid
Republican paper makes apparent the
motive for publishing broadcast SO
silly a story.
Those who know Governor Harmon
recognized az once that she story was
absurd, for they well know that he
does not indulge in language of that

decency and fairness is not warped
by partisan bias. the governors EN-

AS tho campaign proceeds it is
quite probable that the partisan
newspapers will engage without scru-
pie in more of this kind of misrepre.
sentation. After entering the above
denial the governor refused to fur
ther discuss the incident. In fact,
he has resolved to ignore any further
personal comments or criticisms.
The issues of this campaign are so
important as to require full and free
and frank and fair discussion. Gov
ernor Harmon will waste no time
upon prerosterous personalities. II
the partisan newspapers persist in
throwing mud, the governor will
neither bemean himself nor belittle
the dignity of his Office by wading
into the mire to throw mud back at
them.

IMPORTANT FACTS FOR FARMERS !
How "tE1e Best Ever" Tariff Picks Their Pockets
IMPLEMENT PRICE AT HOME AND ABROAD
Protection On Wheat and Corn a Rank DeIuSiOn


ported a pint. Terrible competition
that. And the farmer must be pro-
tected against the foreigner and a
tariff of 20 cents a bushel Is placed
upon corn. This Is an outrage and
an insult against an American farm
ers intelligence. The farmer is not
only being crucified upon this cross
of high protection, but he is being
compelled to carry his cross to his
own crucifixion.
A glance at the market will show
that the farmer in Winnipeg, Canada.
farmer in Missouri and Ohio by sew
eral cents. On June IL, 1909, the
Chicago Record-Herald quoted the
market Of July wheat as follows.
Winnipeg ........ .$1.30 bushel
Duluth $1.30 a bushel
Minneapolis ... $1.31 bushel
When you leave the Canadian line,
July wheat was quoted in New York
at $1.26 a bushel; in Chicago at from
$1.1S to 122 a bushel, notwithstand-
ing the tariff of 25 cents a bushel.
July wheat was quoted In st. Louis
at $1.16, ID cents less than in Winni-
peg, Notwithstanding the duty of %
cents and in Kansas City July wheat
was quoted at but $l.12, 18 cents less
than the Canadian wheat in Winni-
peg, Notwithstanding the protection"
of 20 cents a bushel.
When you talk about competing
with the pauper labor of Europe, Asia
and Africa, what's the matter with
the American who has to compete
with the coolie laborer of India, the
yheap laborer of Russia and Egypt,
while he is compelled to accept the
price that is made for his wheat at
the market In Liverpool, England
Yet when the home farmer buys his
agricultural implements he is being
charged from 20 per cent to 80 per
cent more than the foreigner has to
pay for the same article. Is it not
then just kick that the farmer
makes against this tariff of Is per
cent being placed upon these arti-
cles?
The tariff on corn and wheat is a
delusion and a snare. They are in
tended to be a delusion and snare,
and whenever farmers complain that
duties have been increased upon the
necessaries of life Senator Aldrich
tells them that they need not MUIR
mur; that they were not neglected; I;
that the duties were increased upon
agricultural products.
These increased duties on farm
| products are intended to dazzle and
to deceive the farmers of this coun-
! try.
In spite of all the Republican par
ty's protection the farmers of the
United States must meet the pauper
farmers of all the earth In the mar
ket places of the world. Since they
must sell in the cheapest mar
kets of the world, they ought to be
allowed to buy their farming imple
ments in the cheapest markets in the
world and for them the cheapest
market in the world for farming i'm
plements ought to be here at home
where the implements are manufac
tured.
1t Is simply question who stands
higher in the esteem and affection oI
the Republican party-the farmer OF
this country or the international trus
on farming implements.

When the Payne!Aldrich tariff bill
was passed 1t imposed a duty OF 10
per cent upon plows, tooth and disk
harrows, harvesters, reapers, agricul-
tural drills, planters, mowers, horse
rakes, cultivators, threshing ma
chimes and cotton gins, in spite Of the
fact that the manufacturers sell
these articles cheaper to the people
in other countries than they do to
the people in this country.
The farmer in South America and
In Europe can purchase No. disc
plow for $3.50, while the farmer in
the United States must pay $40 for
the same. A 25-tooth harrow is ship
ped and sold to the foreigner after
paying freight and insurance on
same for $18.25, and the same imple'
ment costs the farmer in the United
States $22. An 18-tooth wood frame
harrow Is sold to the foreigner for
$3.50, while the farmer in the United
States must pay SO for the same
thing. Cultivators, wheel, M 81,
sell to the foreigner for $4, while the
home farmer must pay $5 for the
same. Shovel plows No. 20 are sold
for $2.15 each to the foreigner, while
the farmer here at home must pay
$3.50 for the same. A thresher grain,
horse or steam power 32 inches, is
sold to the foreigner for $500, while
the thresher in this country is charg.
ed $400 for the same. Straw stackers
18 IT, sell to the foreigner for $25
while the price in this country Is $50
for the same. A clover huller that
costs $3.50 in this country is sold to
the foreigner for $338 Potato dig
gers sold in the United States for
500 cost the foreigner but $50.
One might go on and instance hun
dreds of articles from augur bits to
yoke hooks and show the same dis
elimination against the home farmer
Particular attention is called to II
now, for when this bill was up for
passage Senator Bacon offered an
amendment to the tariff bill to put on
the free list plows, harrows, reapers
harvesters, mowers and other farm
machinery, and Senator McLalrin of
fered an amendment to put on the
free list all farming implements OF
tools, carpenter and blacksmith tools
On the first amendment which Sen
ator Bacon offered 23 Democrats and
Republicans voted yes and 40 Re
publicans voted no, including Senator
Dick Of Ohio, who voted with AL
drich. On the amendment of Senator
McLaurin 25 Democrats and Re
publicans voted yes and so Republl
cans voted no, including Senator
Dick OF Ohio, who voted with Aldrich
II is well to remember these facts
because Senator Dick Is running fol
reelection to the United States sen
ate and will try to hoodwink the
farmers by telling them that he voted
for tariff of 25 cents a busllel OF
wheat to protect them from the pau
per labor of Europe. Everybod!
