 in his first report, Alexander Ham ilton, Secretary of the Treasury, enumerated large number of articles that were produced in the United States in the manufactur- ies instead of by COTTAGE INDUS TRY, and amongst these were, fine leather goods, hardware, ma chinery, flax, hemp, cable, cord age, twine, cloth, iron-ware, paper, woolen hats, refined sugar, paints, oils and gunpowder.
 The manufacturers THEN set up the cry that protective tariff was necessary to preserve the lives ot those infant industries" so Con- gress laid protective tariffs upon such goods as were made in the United States, with the view solely that these infants" might have protection from foreign competi- ton until they were able to shift for themselves, and judging from the high tariffs STILL levied and wrung from the consumers, l suppose we are to understand that the steel trust, the copper trust, the sugar trust, the cotton trust and the tobacco trust and hun dred other trusts are yet infant" industries, but in all candor we must confess that they are the largest infants we have ever met, save the possible exception of those of us who quietly submit to being exploited by this tariff for the protection of INFANT INDUS TRIES. Now mark you, there is not a word in the first 70 years of tariff discussion in this country which indicates that anybody pre- tended to levy this protective tariff for the protection of the laboring men who worked in these INFANT INDUSTRIES.
 And then, in order further to promote its grasp upon economic affairs in the United States, capi- tai organized itself into giant com binations and trusts and under the guidance of shrewd manipu- lators who steered them around the law, capitalists controlled the price of all articles used by the people.
 Bear in mind that the United States adopted the Common Law of England that is, the Laws of England as they stood on July 4th, I776, and with these harsh rules of the law of Monarchical England against labor in opera ton in the United States, and the courts here feeling bound 70 ENFORCE THEM, long line of cruel and inhuman decisions against labor has been the result.
 You perceive, therefore, the diff | faculties, the obstacles and the opposition which organized money has exerted to try to prevent la boring men from organizing them selves into Unions that they might protect themselves in the matter of wages, hours and suita- hle and reasonably safe places for performing their work, for the weakness of the individual laborer as bargainer in the labor market stood out in marked contrast to the giant trusts and organizil- tions for capital, but notwit'l- standing the handed oppoi- ton of organized wealth and it's minions notwithstanding h e wrongs and injustices hea,ed upon it, the labor union lived, for it is on the side of human ty, and on humanity's side are the

LABOR DAY SPEECH
 OF HENRY f. ASHURST
By Request the Labor Day Speech of Hon. Henry F. Ashurst
 Is Published

HIS udy lS dShiSdhCu bO iabois Some ask, what is "labor2" and in reply l will say that LABOR may be defined to be that human effort and strength which has titled the fields, bridged the rivers, tunneled the mountains and torn from the earth all the metals used by man. kind. Labor has built every ves- sel that ploughs the seas. It has constructed every train that runs, and the steady hand oi labor is upon every throbbing throttle of the mighty engines that move the industrial world. There is no palace that ahe laborers did not build-no tower, nor city, no tenn pie of learning, temple of art or temple of religion that his hands did not create. The laborer is the Atlas upon whose broad should CTS rests this majestic world. In troublous times when war wings its wide desolation" and the peace, the plenty, the power and the prosperity of the Nation are in danger, the laborers are its chief defenders; they face the booming thunder of the cannon, serve the shotted guns and charge to vic tory or to death in defense of that Government under which prop erty exists and is preserved.
 Armies and navies, presidents and judges, and all the compli- cated structures of civil society are sustained upon the broad back of labor. It is, therefore, in the light of these facts that approach a discussion of the issues and meanings of Labor Day"
 shall divide my address into two subdivisions: In the first subdivision l shall trace, rapidly, of course, the world history of labor and its struggle for its right.
 In the second l shall refer to some abuses and evils which labor has endured and 1 shall point out remedies for those evils and abuses.
 In the early ages of the world, the PHYSICALLY powerful man, the man who could best wield battle ax, grasped everything in sight and lived upon the toll of the oth- CTS. He made war to gain land and slaves. Advancing civiliza- ton somewhat decreased his ra- pacity and greed, and the then tyrant-monopolist began to learn wisdom and began to mingle cum ming with force, so he enslaved provinces, made rules and called them laws, and he industriously taught the doctrine that property rights were above human rights. He fed the laborers in order that they might continue to toll to make him, the tyrant-monopolist, richer still. Therefore, there is nothing new in the purposes of the monopolist. His methods or processes, however, have changed. In the early history of the world force was the means employed to exploit labor, but now the means employed are combinations of capital. When a board of trade gambler in Chicago or New York corners wheat or any bread stuff or other product nd starves thousands, he has acted just as wrong from the moral side of the case as if he had cornered the bread stuffs by brute force, and by his performance he has pulled off no new stunts" for histori- ans tell us that in ancient Egypt the monopolist and the confed-

COLLEGE SHOWS BIG GROWTH
Enrolment of Students In Agricul-
turai Course Is Larger Than
Ever This Year.

The enrolment OF, students In the
agricultural courses of the Iowa State
college Is larger than ever this year.
Every class is filled and many add.
tional classes have ben organized to
accommodate the demand. The agri-
cultural division of the college Is edu-
eating more young men who come
from the farms and who expect to go
back to the farms than ever before
The enrolment In this division today
is more than twice as large as II was
six years ago The high class of work
done in the agricultural courses is
attracting students from all parts Of
the world One Of the last to register
was w. Thompson. graduate OF
Edinburgh university. Scotland. who
comes to do postgraduate work at
Ames Another student comes from
South America. making several South
Americans now enrolled; still another
comes from India and another from
South Africa. These men come to
Iowa because Iowa's agricultural
school has been recommended to them
as one Of the best In the world.

the corners. II is best to bend the
bottom rods up to extend into the
sides. II quarterback rods are not
available, pieces OF new barbed wire
placed four inches apart and within
an inch of the outer surface will
serve the purpose very satisfactorily.
The forms can be built of one or
two-inch lumber. Unseasoned lumber
is best, but seasoned will do II II is
soaked well before using. The inside
form should be removed just as soon
as the cement will stand alone, but
the outside form may be left for sew

preventing any leaky place.
Use one part portland cement. one

and three parts crushed rock not lar
ger than three-quarters of an inch in
diameter. Mix all very thoroughly and
add water until of the consistency OF
thick cream. After pouring into the
forms, straight-edge the top and round
the corners with trowel.
After the forms are removed and
the concrete is hard enough to stand

This Tract is especially favored In
its location in the middle of the Fruit
Belt, in its transportation by four rail-
roads and number of steamship
lines and In its local markets, includ-
ing Ludington and Manistee, on the
edge of the tract with 10000 popula-
ton. The short trip to this district is
well worth the time Of any man who
wants good productive land at low
figure. The prices asked are from $40
to $35 and on much of the land SIS or
SIG per acre. The Swigart Tract,
while giving superior advantages, asks
no more for its lands and its terms
are liberal SO that any man earning
wages can buy. Terms are as low as
$40 to $50 down and SIS to $40 per
month on 40 acres. Payments an
nually If preferred. That is cheaper
than paying rent in Iowa or Illinois.
II the purchaser dies while buying his
farm, then 1t is decided free to his
family. That is a protection and a
security which man buying land on
time appreciates.
The Swigart Tract comprises over a
thousand 40-acre and many larger and
smaller farms from which one can
choose, In neighborhood of schools,
churches. good roads, many shipping
and marketing points, new towns,
pretty inland lakes and trout streams.
The climate is most healthful, water
pure as crystal It's pleasant place
to live and a good place to make
money.

Cement has solved the problem OF
farm tanks. Farmers have all had
more or less trouble with wooden and
steal watering tanks for our stock.
We have had to plaster up the cracks
with mud and spare the leg OF our old
overalls when the tank sprung leak.
No use doing 1t any more when We
can build a cement tank for the price
OF few pairs Of blue overalls.
My first cement tank was a failure
simply because the inside was not
made sioping enough and the mixture
was not rich enough. put in little
more reinforcing in my second tank.
The inside slope should not be less
than two or three inches to the foot
This will prevent cracking when the
water freezes In winter.
1t is a very good plan to put in an
underdrain. This can easily be done
by using round plug of soaked wood
in the bottom of the tank while It is
being built.
The cement tank now in use on my
farm has been In service for two years
and is in as good condition now as
when first built. 1t is rectangular in
shape, IL feet long. s feet wide, and

ALL EYES ON
WESTERN MICHIGAN
ATTRACTIONS OF THE FRUIT
BELT COUNTRY.

Great agricultural development 10
going on in Michigan's Fruit Belt. The
awakening is as much in diversified
farming as in fruit growing. Retarded
until late years by lumber interests,
the over-population of the part OF the
u. S. surrounding this district is now
forcing tillage OF its every acre.
Attention has been widely attracted
to Michigans Fruit Belt by the SUI
perior flavor of its fruits, by its wide
range of staple crops, by its incom-
parable advantage in marketing. being
located at the hub OF the nations pop
ulation and commerce, and by greater
profits to growers because of no irri-
cation expense, The rainfall is plenti-
full. The U. s. Dept. of Agriculture
defines the Fruit Belt as the narrow
strip of country in the Southern penin-
sula bordering Lake Michigan and ex-
tending 20 to 80 miles eastward, and
as having a climate that enables cul-
tivation with success impossible in
other regions of the same latitude not
similarly protected by the influence OF
i1dnC htShieodH WhiSh ihouthSo ShC pAO-
vailing winds from the west.
The conditions that here produce
better apples. peaches, pears, plums
and cherries are also especially favor
able for potatoes and all vegetables,
peas, beans, cereals, grasses, clover
and alfalfa. The food problem is here
solved by the diversity of crops. The
corn crop, as shown by statistics, CON-
pares favorably with yields OF states
In the corn belt and makes stock rails
ing profitable; but beyond the need
for stock, there are number OF other
crops more profitable. Poultry thrives
In the freedom from vermin; no place
Is better for sheep and dairying is
becoming more profitable every year.
Probably no other spot in Michigan
is being developed and settled as rap
idly as the district in Mason, Manis-
tee and Lake Counties, known as the
Swigart Tract. Farmers, fruit grow
ers, poultrymen, truck growers and
stockmen are buying and settling in
this tract in such large numbers that
twice each month special Pullman
car, and frequently two cars, are re-
quired for their accommodation.

MANY USES FOR GASOLINE
Too Valuable Household Adjunct to
Be Discarded Because Of
Possible Danger,

A can of gasoline in the kitchen for
cleaning purposes will be found a
great help If ordinary care is exer-
cised against fire. To clean the gas
stove. soak the Jets in little gaso-
line, and 1t will remove all dirt and
do away with any odor from the gas
range, or scrub the jets with little
brush dipped in gasoline.
To clean copper or aluminium cook
ing utensils soak cloth in gasoline
and rub on the outside of the vessel;
this will remove all black or discolor-
alton on the metal
For grease marks or dirty spots on
woodwork, a little gasoline applied
with cloth will remove at once.
If the drain in the sink becomes
stopped up. remove all water from
sink and pour in pint or more gaso-
line and let 1t stand; this will cut the
cause of stoppage in little while.
Before backing stove or range.
rub off the top with a cloth wet with
gasoline and 1t will remove all dirt
and grease and make the backing
stay on longer.
Laces, gloves and silks can be
cleaned very successfully by washing
in plenty of clean gasoline; there
should be enough to cover the article
you are washing. Change the gaso-
line as often as II becomes dark look
ink; work quickly and hang in the
sun. to dry. Always remember when
using gasoline to keep away from fire
or flame of any kind.
