A Serious Matter.

The very large growth of the cities
Of the country. as shown by the census,
is cause for disquietude as well as
congratulation. If this congestion in
cities continues without correspond
ing increase in agricultural products
the United States Will soon cease to be
an exporting country, and will have to
be competing with other importing
countries for food. If such should
soon come to be the case, the sooner
We take off all tariff duties on food
products the better, SO that matters
may adjust themselves before the &C.
tual pinch comes for enough food to
feed our people.
The high protective tariff imposed
on farm products is entirely useless
as soon as we have surplus that
must be sold abroad, but directly we
begin to import ever so little the tariff
on cattle, cereals and other food prod
uts would add to the normal prices of
such articles, which would mean from
80 TO rs per cent increase in the pres
ent high price Of food.

The Cost of Living.

! 1t will not take a prophet nor the
son Of a prophet to predict the utter
rout and defeat Of the republican
party in the fall elections. The high
cost of living should be the battle
cry of every voter as he goes to cast
his ballot. A government that so far
forgets the poor of it's country as to
leave them to INSCRIPTIONS trusts
is not worthy of the name. Beef is
now selling at % cents a pound, but
ter at 40 and eggs at so cents a
dozen, and the workingman earning
S1.50 to 50 a day can no longer OBJ
tain the bare necessaries of life for
his family, so that our children are
growing up half-starved weaklings
in this their own land of peace and
plenty
The politicians of our weakened
and vacillating government are
spouting on every conceivable sub
ject but the high cost OF living, and
the political economists are producing
article after article to prove that it is
owing to the cheapness of gold, but
ask workingman on the street corner
and he will tell you that he has not
seen SIS gold piece in years. All he
knows is that he cannot save a dollar
for the time of need, and the little
money he has in the savings bank is
gradually growing smaller.
We were told only few months ago
that the high cost of beef was owing
to the scarcity of cattle on our west
ern ranges and that the beef packers
were unable to supply the demand.
Yet the Aldrich tariff of cents per
pound on imported meats is still doing
business at the same old stand, as the
republican party wants another cam
paign contribution from the National
Packing company, Cudahy, Armour.
ct al, and has the barefaced audacity
to again come before the people for a
renewed vote of confidence and send to
congress and the senate, stand-patters
that never were and never will be in
sympathy with the common people.

Ship Subsidy and Tariff.

1t is reported from Beverly that
President Taft will try to force a
ship-subsidy bill through congress.
We trust the president will further
consider this recommendation; for
such a bill cannot pass at the short
session because all the democrats
will oppose it, and some, if neces-
sary, will talk it to death. All forms
of subsidy are sheer robbery of the
tax payers for the benefit of the few
who receive. it. If our shipping in
terests can only revive through a
direct subsidy, there must be some
thing radically wrong with the fun
damental organization of the busi-
ness We are now paying subsidies
for transatlantic mail to the Amer
lean line, which is virtually con-
trolIed by the Pennsylvania railroad,
but that steamship company does not
prosper even with the subsidy of
over 100000. It's ships are old
and slow, and although a larger sub
sidy might be granted by congress
there is no guarantee that the service
would be improved.
The protective tariff is virtually
subsidy paid to those interests
that are protected. The only differ
ence between the ship subsidy and
the tariff subsidy is that the gov
eminent pays the first directly to
the ship owners. having taxed all the
people to do SO, and the tariff tax is
paid by those who purchase import
ed articles; and the protected manu-
facturers are enabled to collect their

The New Hampshire Revolt.

The republican fight in New
Hampshire was not on national poll
tics, but against corporate influences
in state affairs. The progressives
are opposed to the continued control
Of the Boston and Maine railroad
and the political oligarchy headed
by Senator Gallinger, who was de-
feated in his own ward for delegate
to the state convention. The pro-
gressive New Hampshire republicans
do not appear to be opposed to Can
nonism, for both the present mem
bers of congress were renominated;
and they, as did the United States
senators from that state, voted all
the time with Aldrich and Cannon,
and against the insurgents.
What effect this upset of corpora
ton influence and money will have
on the election in November, it is
too early to determine; but the lack
of a large campaign fund by the re-
publicans will certainly give the dem
ocrats a better chance of success.

share Of the tax by increasing the
price Of their products just about the
percentage that the tariff on similar
goods amounts to.
The tariff tax paid to the govern
ment amounts to about 81 per capita
or $40 per family, and the value OF
our manufactured products in 1905
was $14, the tariff duty
on which if imported would average
43 per cent or, in round numbers.
$40 per capita, or about $3.50 per
family; but the census report OF
manufactures in 1905 was greatly in
creased by taking partly manufacture
ed articles, and then adding the fin
ished articles-so that. for instance,
pig iron, steel and all products of
steel are all figured as manufactures
in each stage to the completed tool
or utensil AS there are no relia-
BILE statistics of Just the amount of
the articles of domestic production
similar to those. imported. upon
which tariff duty is paid, the $40
per capita can be cut in half, making
the amount per family $175 as the
lowest estimate of the increased
amount paid by the public to the pro-
tected interests in consequence of
the tariff. We thus have:
Average tariff tax paid to the
government per family, per
Average extra price paid for do
nestle manufactures in conse-
quence OF protection, per fam
lily .-......... ....... 10
Total increased cost Of all man.
ufactured articles in conse-
quence of tariff, per family,

That amount Of tariff taxation by
the government and the increased
charges of the manufacturers and
the trusts and combines by virtue of
the tariff is more than % per cent
of the average income of farmers.
middle class people and working
men.
Just think about this and decide
whether you will vote for ship sub
sidy and to continue these tariff |
taxes.

The NeighborIy Spirit Again Lacking.

The NeighbOrly Spirit Again Lacking.
1t is in pity and sorrow rather than
in resentment that The Argus is COM
peeled once more to note the lack of
neighborly spirit by the town across
the water when there Is anything do
ing in Rock Island. The people here
are familiar with the hostile attitude
so conspicuously exhibited on the &C.
positions. The inaugural year, it will
be recalled, a counter attraction of an
inferior order was pulled off in Dav-
export a month to a day in advance of
the Rock Island exposition; while an
other was showed in exactly a week
ahead. Last year carefully planned
opposition was put on the same week.
This year Davenport had no we'll
defined feature for Rock Island exposi-
ton week, and it was felt here that at
last, with Davenport youth present
ing an exhibition OF the most marvel
Gus achievement of the ages, in daily
aeropIane flights, the people of that
city would loosen up" and come over
and see Ely start and alight. But the
fact that he was part OF a Rock
Island attraction was too much.
The majority of Davenporters
preferred to wait on their own
side of the river and pike" or take
chances on losing sight Of the spectacle
entirely, regardless of the local or pa
triotic pride that would seem otherwise
to move them. And they came not.
Instead, they got up little impromptu
street fair of their own at the last mo-
ment, fenced off a block of streets,
which they packed nightly, while a
contingent of people over there made
an effort, or at least spread the news
Davenport Sunday afternoon. The two
fold purpose of this move was, first to
steal Rock Islands thunder, and sec.
ondly to prevent Davenport people
from coming over here today. 1t was
indeed a marvellous procedure, in view
of the fact that Mr.. Curtiss' manager
undertook last summer to raise the
money in Davenport to present Ely
there before he tackled Rock Island,
$4,000 was quickly raised during June
and renewed later when the flights
were postponed until Exposition week.
There are exceptions to every rule,
of course, and there are Davenport PEG.
pie who have patronized the exposition
daily, and others who have ventured
to this side of the river without grac-
ing the Exposition park, and to all
those who have crossed the unslated
sea to pay their respects to a Rock
Island enterprise this week, the people
of Rock Island in general, and the expo
sition in particular, acknowledge a
deep sense of gratitude.
Happily, some of the most prominent
and representative professional and
business men of Davenport have been
steady and consistent patrons of the
Rock Island enterprise every day and
have deplored the lack of general In
terest manifest on the part of their
city. The Davenporters who, by their
presence and good works and good
words, have shown the neighborly
spirit on this and all other occasions,
are welcomed the more because they
are the exceptions, and because of
that, too, they are entitled to the finest
evidence of reciprocity that Rock Is

The others may stay in Pretzel
