Mails have doubled in price
during the past few years" said the
Democratic orator at the Farmers
picnic. Your dollar will buy only
one-half as many nails as it did a
short time ago." he continued.
True" interrupted the Wise Farm
er, but one-third as many eggs
bring us a dollar now; so we buy
more nails for the same number of
eggs"
The Democrats say the Payne
bill increased the price of clothing
25 per cent. and then tell the farm
er that the same bill decreased the
price of wool. There is a screw
loose somewhere in that reasoning.
The truth is the wooden schedules
of the Payne bill are precisely the
same as in the Dingley bill so the
tariff has had no effect on the fiuc-
tuations one way or the other.

DIR. f. w. Downton, of StarTuc
ca, met with an accident in Bingham
ton last week. His big Pierce Arrow
car, in which he and some friends
were touring, came in collision will
the curbing on Main street.
The big car was being driven nortl
on Oak street from Riverside Drive
10 Main, and just in front of it was ;
small runabout, also running in thu
same direction. Approaching MaiI
street Downton took for granted tina
the small car was going to turn int
Main street, and he took to the lef
or wrong side of the street to pass t.
the left of the smaller car on th
turn. After passing 1t he found tha
the runabout was going straigh
north on Oak street, and he wa
forced to make wide circle u
avoid a collision. The left from
wheel of his car hit the curbing a
an angle which prevented the whee
from mounting the curb, and tn
force of the blow at so acute an an
gle was sufficient to break tn
spokes of the wheel at the hub. Tn
heavy tire and rim, both undam
aged, dropped to the ground and tn
hub, with the remains of several o
the spokes plowed into the gras
several inches. The occupants O
the car were uninjured and after
new wheel was secured the car wa
run with its own power to the Al
lington garage, where 1t will remai
for repairs.
