creation of d bureau in the department
of commerce and labor to permanently
carry on the work now being done by
the tariff board, experimenting it with
a corps of MISUNDERSTANDING experts, the
reports of whose investigations of sell
ing prices and labor costs at home
and abroad would furnish a standard
of measure of conflicting claims in
the framing of a tariff law.
He contended that the tariff plank
in the Republican platform provided
both upward and downward limits and
that by SO much as you raise duties
ton at home and abroad, after due al
lowance for the foreign custom of SELL
ing goods cheaper abroad than at home,
by so much you permit domestic mo-
nopolies to overcharge domestic con-
Sumers-"
"A few years ago." said Mr. Hamil-
ton, boys wore out their fathers old
clothes, made over according to neigh
have store clothes and socks to match
their neckties, and a college yell. A
man was considered well off if he kept
a morse and buggy; now he has to have
an automobile If he has to mortgage
the place to get 1T. The average BUSH
ness man does business with a tele
phone at one ear, a stenographer at
each elbow, a telegraph office next
door, wireless station within easy
reach, an automobile at the door and
before many years he will want q fly
I'VE now have 500, 900 factories, en-
ploying 100000 people, keeping time
to the demands of 9O,00O,000 folks. The
protection policy has built up an an
nual factory output CT $4,000, 900, 600,
paying out S3,0G0, 100000 in wages, and
has kept the machinery of protection
in motion until it has developed
horsepower equivalent to 100000 600
men, The country never was more
prosperous.
Farmers Defended.
''The farmer has been caricatured by
cheap city humorists, preyed on by
sharks and misled by predatory poll
ticians. Now he has come into his
own, and l am glad OF it. He is one of
the safest, soundest, cleanest elements
in our civilization The city would
have dried up. rotted or exploded but
for the country that came into town
day before yesterday. Too much of
town, though The farmer is receiving
only a fair price, but middlemen are
charging too much for handling. and
trying to attribute the responsibility
to the farmer. The time has gone by,
however. when thrifty gentlemen can
take toll of the farmer and out of the
consumer and fool both at the same
time"
tician with singing one song in the
city. and another. of a different tune,
in the country. He described the stu
alton as filled with contradictions,
everybody pickering to locate the
blame for high prices Bills. resolu-
lions, Investigations. commissions, boy
colts, anti-meat societies. anti-egg soci-
cites, antifood trust and vegetarian
organizations are rampant and in the

Must Build Upon Right,
We are getting farther away from
the old fundamental human relations
that sustain and console folks. We are
always going somewhere, and going
very fast, and generally go our ways
separately. although we jostle one an
other on the sidewalk. 1t is an age
of steam engineism. We run the ma
chine and the machine runs us. The
talk on the street today becomes the
law tomorrow. Politics means par
ties, parties the people, and parties
have to have leaders and chief priests
and scrfbes and pharisees and camp
followers. This is the golden age of
the spot light, opera bouffe, whirling
dervish form of politician, who leads
for while, but the true leader must
build success on fundamental right.
Discussing INSCRIPTIONS dealers and
the segregation of food supplies, Mr..
Hamilton declared the cold storage
tomary, for the frozen remains of an
ancestor to remain in cold suspense
until its progeny had grown to mid
die age, and then for them to meet
in fricassed reunion on some bill of
fare, both as strictly fresh. The I'M
maternal incubator had become the
mother of the chicken
There shall not grow up among us"
concluded Mr.. Hamilton, "a privileged
class above the law This government
shall wisely control men and associ-
ations of men. The government shall
not fail of its mission among men"
