DoLLIVER'S s GREAT SPEECH.

The sudden death of Senator Jonathan P. Deliver of Iowa, re- calls his last important speech in the senate. It was defense of Republican insurgency, and is now regarded by his friends as the most masterful address of the senator's entire public career.
 It was a magnificent effort and won for the Iowan rank in that group of senatorial debaters which includes Carmack, Bailey, Ingalls,, Vest, Daniel, Foraker, Beveridge and Vance. For two hours he held the senate and crowded galleries spell-bound, while he demanded recognition for the principles which he and his fellow-insurgents stood for In the party.
 This speech followed the great insurgent fight in the house when the Cannon organization was de- feated and the rules were revised. The old guard in both branches of congress, finding its grip loosening had turned on the insurgents and charged them with demagogy, dis loyalty and treason. Nothing had been too bitter and biting for the regulars to say against the insur- gents.
 Cummins, La Toilette and Be- veridge had assailed the regulars with force, as had Clapp, and when the word went out that Deliver was about to speak the senate filled to overfowing in ten minutes.
 Senator Delivers speech was filled with brilliant thrusts and eloquent rejoinders. He spoke without notes and never paused for a word or sentence or thought or idea.
 Opening he said:
 "I do not intend, however brief my public service may be, to sit in this chamber without making an effort to represent my people and defend their interests, asking no license of any sort, even from the most accommodating political holding companies.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-11-04

American tourists in Europe are al
ways overcharged, bus away from the
lines of tourist travel the cost of Hy-
ing is much lower than with us.
AS totthe fact that prices are h1gh
on unprotected as well as protected
goods, this must be admitted. Yet 1t
is possible that the elevation of the
price of a majority of articles tends to
raise the price level on all. Thus II a
majority of articles were protected the
high prices on these would tena 10
raise prices all along the line.
Here is another fact from which
there is no escape: The present era or
exorbitant prices began at about the
same time as the passage of the
Payne-AIdrich tariff bill.
Here is another fact even more sig
ni6cant. The mere existence of an
extravagantly high tariff makes posi-
bIe the Trusts, and there has been no
national investigation of high prices
that has not reported the trusts as one
of the chief causes
To bring 1t home, this week u gro

banding commercial needs. Moreover,
the small Increase that does exist is
more than counterbalanced by the de-
monetization of silver as money of ulti-
mate redemption. SO much for the
gold argument.
How about the rush to the cities?
Well, that has been going on for many
years, long antedating this sudden
jumping of the cost Of living. Our
crops are increasing year by year, II
the people who lay high prices to the
movement of population mean that
there is a decrease in the food supply
the figures do not bear them out,
Granting that the rush to the cities
Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-11-04

has an effect, it is impossible that it
should jump up prices to the extent
observed in the last year or two.
Other reasons are given, such as the
labor unions-easily proved ~fallaclous
by the simple fact that wages have
not advanced in keeping with other
prices. Lack Of scientific farming is
also blamed by some, when as a mat
I ter of fact we have new had so much
| scientific farming as now. A luxurious
scale Of living is likewise held at
fault, but our scale of living is little
more luxurious comparatively than it
has been. At the present cost Of living
It is in many cases necessarily less
luxurious.
One thing is obvious-that present
high prices are not natural, but arti-
fetal. This is proved by several facts.
One is that the farmer is not receiving
the profits. After an exhaustive inves-
tigation into the subject Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson found that as a
whole farmers were getting but little
more for their crops than they. were
ten years ago. Another proof is that
the law of supply and demand is seem
ingly set aside, since prices are as
high after a bountiful crop as at any
other time. Prices ordinarily go to
pieces during a panic, yet they did not
go to pieces during the panic of 1907.
On the other hand, when prices are
high there is usually a boom all along
the line, yet today there is a continu-
ing advance in foodstuffs, while trav-
cling men come in from the road to
report that business Is dull, that they
can sell nothing. l had two represent
atives of big houses tell me that only
last week. These high prices are arti-
fetal. They are made by some IN
usual factor.
What Is it? Secretary Wilson gave
the answer at the time he reported the
fact that the farmers are not profting
from the rise In their own products.
Wilson ascribed the cause chiefly to
combinations-in a word, to the trusts.
There is also the tariff. Those who
have tried to exonerate the Payne
Aldrlch law have cited two facts to
back up their contentious. One is that
high prices prevail the world around,
the other that they affect articles on
the free list as well as protected arti-
cles.
This sounds plausible. But what are
the facts? While 1t is true that there
has been some advance in prices in
other nations, it is not true that it has
been anything like that ct home. I

What is the cause of high prices?
That has been asked more times dur
ing the past year perhaps than any
other single question. 1t is of vital

NIGHT Letter MESSAGES

Manager C. F. Norton of the local
Western Union Office is we'll pleased
with the way business starts off at the
new city Office in the First National
bank building. He has been busy
this week installing their repeaters
and getting things in shape. He will
have three assistants and is keeping
the office open all night.
Dickinson is the most important re.
peating Western Union office between
the Coast and St. Paul and it is likely
that as soon as the relay equipment
is all in that two additional! operators
will be needed. There is talk of put
ting in an additional wire between
Dickinson and Billings.
fl. M. Ward, assistant superintendent
of the division, was here from Mime
apolis this week for a few days. He
said that the business out this way had
been getting away from them, that is
to say, the country had developed be-
yond all expectation.
The local Western Union office is
doing a good business with might
letters under the arrangement put into
effect some time ago by which a fifty
word letter can be sent at night to be
delivered before eight O'Clock in the
morning, for the same price as a ten
word day message. Additional words
may be sent pro rata. This plan gives
business men an opportunity to dispatch
business letters by wire without the
necessity for brevity. as was the case
under the old ten-word system, and
permits also the sending of social and
other messages at a low cost. The
public seems to have taken to the new
plan, and as a result the Western Union
wires, which used to be idle for part of
the time at night, are sizzling with all
kinds of communications and the Office
forces are kept busy handling the new
business. Manager Norton reports an
increasing business all the time, and
the Western Union officials are pleased
with the success of the new departure.
