TACKLE HIGH COST PROBLEM.
Stimson Shows Good Effect of Getting
After Railroads and Trusts.

New York, Nov. 1.-Before an audience
in Brooklyn tonight, Henry L. Stimson,
Republican nominee for governor reply
ing to the charge of his opponents that
Republicans are responsible for the high
cost of living declared that while the
causes are world WIDE there are some
elements of the evil which we can Crap
pie by legislation and administrative ac-
ton" He said in part:
II am not here to say that if should
be elected the cost of living would go
down. / am no demasogue. The cost of
living is a movement which is world
wide. But there are some elements of
the evil which We can grapple with by
legislation and by administrative action.
II refer to those elements of the higher
cost Of living which come from the ele-
ments of monopoly and special priv-
lege.
The history of our country shows that
there has been no cause which has more
greatly contributed to the existence OF
our American monopolies than discrim
nation in our railway rates. 1t is upon
the special secret rates which they got
from the railroad companies that our
greatest monopolies were originally con-
Structed.
When I became district attorney for
the federal government about five years
ago found that the Sugar Trust had en-
trenched itself against competition from
the various small competitors that it was
meeting throughout the country by a gil
gantic and most complete system of spe-
cial railroad rates.
Within an hour after | took office. on
the first of February, 1906, I was engaged
in the study of certain evidence bearing
ON the determinations. 1t formed the
main part of my work for nearly year
prosecuted the New York Central Rail
road the Great Northern Railroad, the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, the Chi
ca2o Rock Island & Pacific. the Central
Vermont and also the Sugar Trust itself
for receiving rebates from those roads,
and I convicted them all. think it is
proper to say, and | think it is etrue to
say. that mainly as a result of those
prosecutions the entire fabric of special
secret rates in this locality has been WHIP
ed out and the great highways of COM
merce are free on even terms to the
small as well as the great shipper"

DRAPER ON RECIPROCITY.
If Sincere, Foss Should Run for Con-
eress Instead Of Governor.

Hayerhill, Mass. Nov. LII Mr..
Fu-s is sincere in his desire to work
to advance his opinions as to Ca
ma lian reciprocity, or free trade or
tariff revision, or the rates of duties
in the tariff, he should be a candidate
for Congress, where these matters are
settlieed, instel I'D of running for the
office OF governor declared Gov.
Eben S. Draper in addressing a Re
publican rally here this evening.
Notwithstanding his declaration that
reciprocity and tariff issues have no
place in this campaign. Mr.. Draper
opened his remarks with reciprocity
for his subject. He said in part:
Free trade with Canada under the
present circumstances is something
that many people in this section
might be glad to see, but every sensi-
bic person knows that it is practical
impoSsibility. In the first place,
Canada would not have it. They are
building up manufactures in Canada;
they have a substantial protective
tariff and all the manufacturers and
large business interests in the Domln-
ion would oppose it. Great Britain.
too would oppose it strenuously, for
if they gave us free trade we should

their own mother country.
