START MAKES
GREAT SPEECH

Henry G. Stuart candidate for Con
gress in the Ninth Virginia District
spoke at Graham to an immense crowd
last night. He made mastery
speech which carried conviction to
his hearers.
lie characterized Slemp as the fol-
lower after Aldrichism and Cannonism
which was largely responsible for the
burdens of the average working man
today. He said that Slemp had sup
ported every thing that pertained to
Cannonism, had voted for the auto
cratic rules promulgated by Cannon,
which stified legislation in behalf of
the great American people, that Con
gress should be truly representative
OF the great masses and that no man
should be returned to Office who had
stood for Cannonism. He then refer
red to some OF the rules of Speaker
Cannon, and said that no man could
get recognition on the floor to intro
duce a measure unless Cannon first
knew what that measure would be
and that it would be for the interests
and against the masses.
He treated the tariff question in a
most forceful and convincing manner
He read from the Republican platform
OF 1908 which declared for a tariff suf-
ficient to equal the difference in the
OF
enable profit to the American manu-
facturer. He said no effort had been
made to ascertain the difference in
the cost OF production at home and
abroad. He referred to the testimony
OF Andrew Carnegie as to the profits
Of the United States Steel company
i'm which he said that tho actual paid
in capital was five hundred thousand
and that on this original capitaliza.
Ton they had earned over one hun
dred and fifty million dollars yea r
and this or ter million tons OF steel,
profit OF SIS per ton, while the ac.
tual cost of production was only ten
dollars per ton. He declared that
such a tariff schedule was iniquitous
and was the breeder OF trusts to op-
press the great masses Of American
people.
He referred to the costs OF the ne
cessities of life under the Payne-AL
drich bill. He declared that the ne.
cessities of life had been greatly in
creased and placed an additional ser
vitude upon tho working man. that
this was done by such men as Cannon
and Aldrich, supported by Slemp in
behalf OF the trusts and with total
disregard of the great masses.
Mr.. Stuart declared that he was go
ing to represent the Ninth District I'm
the next Congress. and as lie cried "I
am going to be elected" the audience
went wild with enthusiasm.

AS there are millions OF acres OF

Roosevelt now, almost wanted a third
term, but was sat upon emphatically

THAT in the opinion of this House
the precedent established by Washing.

become, by universal concurrence, a

Washington, Sept. 10.-Spending
nearly 100000 a day more than it
took in, the government closed the
month of August with q deficit approx
imating $5,O00000, which is indicative
of II deficit of s60,03G COO for this fls-
cal year. as against deficit OF $40.
4SO, ,7G2.43 for the last fiscal year.
This deficit was due to two prin'
oipai causes:
First:-The unparalleled eXtrava-
gance of the standpat faction of the
Republican party, which is in control
of the government.
Second Failure of the Payne-Ald.
rich tariff law to produce sufficient
revenue to meet the expenses of the
government.
Excess of expenditures over receipts
is not new in the history of the party
in power. For three or four years
now the government has been closing
it's books each night facing big def
cit in the days business. But the av-
erage American does not know this.
While there would be no justification
for stating in this dispatch that the
big press associations misstate the
facts, there is ample justification for
saying that the facts are so stated
that the average man does not under
stand them.
For instance, the statement of the
treasury issued at the close of busi-
ness Aug. 81 shows that the excess of
expenditures over receipts for July
and the first 27 days of August, 1910,
amounted to $14,431, 1874, or an av-
erage deficit of $2S8, ,634,54 for each
banking day in that period. No one
could possibly so understand the sit
uation, however, from the reports car
ried by the big press associations,
which invariably give the administra-
ton side of the government finances.
If a business firm should spend
more money than it took in, day after
day, week after week, month after
month and year after year, it is nat
ural to assume that the stockholders
would demand new management.
Yet the men in charge of the govern
ment have for years been able to over.
spend the receipts without having
been called to account by the public.
This can be explained, however, by
the fact that the average man is not
by any means aware of the actual sit
uation.
