market of Canada and sold as low as the English manufacturers did. The man that you are asked to indorse by your next vote, the President of the united States vetoed that bill. When he signed the Payne-Aldr bill there was clause in that bill that allowed every immigrant that came into this country to bring his tools in free.
 Now I had no objection to that. l say, God help the immigrant: if he comes here let him bring his tools of trade so he can make an honest living. But We sent 10 the President of the United States bill that the farmers. who are the very rock bottom of our prosperity in this country always. we sent to the President bill that they might have the tools of their use free from taxation, and by one stroke of his pen he killed the bill. Is that what you stand for?
 Another Illustration
 Well, let me give you another illustra- -tion There are many. We placed on tlre free list barbed wire. Some of my own constituency did not agree with me on that subject but we placed II there just the same-that wire used for fencing should be free to the farmers of Amer lea. Now did they need protection Tor that wire? The treasury report for this last fiscal year ending on June 30 last shows that the American manufacturer Of barbed wire exported into the markets of the world 2S5,000,00o pounds He paid the freight and went into those markets some times paying an adverse tariff, ana undersold his competitors.
 "Yet some people say that we are in turing home manufacturers. The tax cn barbed wire is % of a cent pound. How much barbed wire do you suppose was imported into this country last year? How much barbed wire came in to compete and equalize prices? I don't have to tell you the price that barbed wire has risen to in this country in the last 10 years an- der the high rates of the Dingley and Payne bill You know it-know 1t better than do probably, many of you, because you buy it and I don't.
 Rarbed Wire ImpOrtations
 '.The total amount of barbed wire that was imported into this country to offset the 2S5,O00,O0O pounds that we export ed into the markets of the world, amounted to the magnificent sum of 160 pounds. Not as much hardly as any man in the au- dence weighs. And it was valued at $4, and paid the government of the United States the munfcent sum in revenue of s1.20. And yet the President of the United States, whom you are asked to indorse, vetoed that bill because he said we in jured American manufacturers.
 "One of the items in that bill was sew ing machines. The sewing machines that thousands of women in this great land are bending over today to earn their daily bread for their fatherless children-the trust that controls the manufacture of those sewing machines charges them not less than $25 machine. and yet .h U same machine today is laid down in the Orient and can be bought in the markets of Hong Kong and Singapore for sS.I5. Authority for Cfatouant 'Tf any body wants to dispute that fact.

Tariff That Clay Stood For


 '"rhey would say we are tearing down the custom house. that we are destroying American industries, and yet that very same 20 per cent more than represents the difference in labor cost at home and abroad. According to the census reports taken for the year 1909, hardly two years ago the total labor cost in the wooden industries of this country amounts to only 21 per cent of the value of the pro duction
 "Does any man contend that in Eu- rope and Germany, our great competi- tors, iron and steel and cotton goods are made for nothing? that there is no labor cost involved. AS a matter of fact. the best authorities state that the difference in labor cost in this country is not more than twice what it is abroad. And when you come down to the efficiency of the American labor, there is no difference in labor cost.
 Cost of Manufacture Compared
 "I heard gentleman say not long ago that he was in Japan talking to the su- perntendent of a Japanese factory that was manufacturing locomotive engines and the superintendent said to him: 'Oui cost of producing locomotives must be much less than yours, because l see our price of labor is only one-fourth the price of labor in the American locomotive works But he was a manufacturer of | locomotives himself and he said; Let mo see your cost price and your labor price and when they compared the labor cost of production in this country and Japan the result showed that the labor cost of manufacture of locomotive engines was higher in Japan. was greater than in America, because the American workman was far more efficient.

 My friends, mark the difference. We were called into extra session on the fth day of April. Within three days after the democratic Congress met, we had organized the House, elected our committees, and within less than 90 days we had sent to the Senate of the United States, :he bill the President of the United States called us in session pri- marily to enact. That bill was held in the republican Senate, sandbagged and delayed for nearly four months, until when it finally became law, the senti- ment in Canada had so crystalized against it. that it meant it's defeat by reason of the delay in the republican senate.
 For more than two decades the peo- rle of the United States have cried out in favor of the election of Senators by the people Within less. than 30 days after Congress assembled, we sent to the Senate of the United States a bill providing that the people of the United States by direct vote should elect the | men who represent them in the higher u anehi- of Congress.

Speaking of Lincoln as a lawer,
Leonard SWEET. his contemporary
and friend. once told me that Lin
coin was not worth n cent in a case
in which he did not believe. In
this connection he related an in
cident OF Lincoln und himself be-
ing appointed by Judge David Davis
to defend a man indicted for mur-

out means to retain lawyer. How
ever, the prisoner had friends who
were able to raise 500 forh is de-
ionce. The money was turned over
To SWEET. who handed half Of 1t to
Lincoln. When they came to con-
suit with the prisoner, Lincoln be-
came convinced that he was guilty,
and that the only chance Of saving
his neck was to have him plead
guilty and then appeal to the Court
for leniency. This was opposed by
SWEET, who was an extremely adroit
criminal lawyer. The case, there
fore. came to trial. but Lincoln.
though present and sitting beside
SWEET, took no part in it further
than to make an occasional sug-
Eestion to his associate in the
course OF the examination of wit
nesses. The outcome Of the case,

expectedly appeared. and which
SWEET was not slow to take advan-

Lincoln's career as lawyer
shows him in an admirable light as
''ian who cherished no malice,
and this was equally true even in the
midst OF the most heated political
contests. 1t was indeed a beautiful
side of his character, for no man
in politics was ever more frequently
called upon. prior to his election TO

LIVES WITH WOUND IN HEART
Texan Has Sixteen Inches Taken by
Surgeon.

Galveston, Tex, Jan. 2S..-What
is considered the most remarkable
piece OF surgery in the history of
this section is the stitching of a cut
heart in man who will live to tell
that his heart was punctured for
nearly a half an inch.
His name is Harry Barefield. thir-
ty-five years old, who was stabbed
with pocket knife by a woman.
A wound an inch and a half long
was made in the base of the heart.
Surgeons took sixteen stitches in
the cut, and declared his chances
were one in a thousand for recov-
cry.
