THE increased output of gold and
crop failures have operated through
out the world to increase the cost
of living by at once cheapenlng the
medium of exchange and lessening
the supply of foodstufs. And so it
happens that the cost of living has
advanced in free trade England.
This fact is seized upon by Protect
Ionist journals as furnishing proof
that tariffs on food products have
no influence in unduly advancing
prices. The absurdity of such rea-
son:ng is readily shown by compari-
son of the cost of food, clothing and
other necessaries in countries where
there is no tariff restriction on i'm
portaiions with the higher prices in
the United States. 1t is also shown
by the proposed exigent reduction
of tariff duties ia Germany, France
and other European States where
there have been food riots. The
popular olamor for cheaper bread
and meat invariably leads 1.-The ex
posure of the tariff pinch as cause
of famine.

Over Insurance, he said, was one
of the greatest causes of fires, and
suggested that We should adopt the

where no one could insure property
for more than the amount on which
taxes are paid, and not to that
amount if the board of control sus-
pected that tax lists were raised

MANCHESTER LOCK OUT.

Manchester, Eng., Dec. 27.--The refusal of one man and two women to Join trade union, coupled with the decision of the master cottcn spinners to close their mills three days in the week, caused a complete stoppage of great portion of the cotton mills in northeast Lancashire tonight. Efforts are already afoot to bring about settlement, but as one woman who left the unicn after twen- ty years because she believes that the benefits are not commensurate with the payments, Persists in her attitude and the master spinners insist upon their right to maintain open shops, a long and bitter struggle Is fear ed. There is danger too, Of the fight spreading to other industries.
 The lockout involves 160,000 weav- err, and nearly an equal number of spinners will be reduced to half pay. There are indications already of probable complications through the introduction of new issue on the troublesome question of wages This move has been taken by the weav CTS who now declare that, as d lock ont alas been decided upon, they si- tend to make an advance of five per cent in wages condition or any settlement.
 IL is estimated the weekly loss in wages to the weayers and allied work CTS, spinners and card room employ. es will amount to $1 400 GOO. The wea9ers will receive roughly s32s,O0C lockout pay from the union.

BLAME PLANTERS
 FOR CROP DELAY
SYNDICATE STILL READY TO FIN. ANcE THE HANDLING OF THE
 1911 COTTON CROP.
Promoter Says Planter Will Lose About $3oo,ooo During This
 Year.

Washington, Dec. 27. 7.-Robert M. Thompson, of New York, head Of the syndicate to which proposed to ad- vance $50,OO0,OO0 for the purpose oi handling the Southern cqton crop, planes the Southern planter for the delay in putting the scheme into ef feet. He declared here today the syndicate still is ready to proceed with the plan which he said meant everything to the southern farmer.
 'We did not reject the plan," he declared. Tt was the South which rejected it and the Southern farmers are opposed to it cnly because they don't understand 1t. They will have to be educated into the ~aowledge that our scheme Is nor a speculative one as they have been led by certain interested parties in ihe South to be- lieve.
 tWe would be wiling today to put through the plan which We proposed some time ago to the committee from the South, which met in Nv York and talked over the proposition. We are not trying to urge the South to ae- cept something it does not want. but if It should appoint a committee and send it to it's we would see to il that the plan we suggested was put through.
 "As it is, a number of individual farmers of the SoutA have expressed their desire to have us handle their cotton for them on the plan which we proposed for the entire south This viii be lesson which will show the rest of the South just what we intend ed; and 1t is probable that by next year others will be willing to faH in with the scheme.
 "The Southern cottcn farmers this year will lose $500. 100000 and the trouble is that at least $2O0.O00.S 500 ot this will go abroad.
 The whole country, not only the South, will be the Iosen by the Sonlh,s refusal to accept fine economic pro- position we submittedY

Tendency of the Age Is For Better and

 St Paul, Minn., Dec 27.-That the tendency of age is for larger farms and better methods with saving of cost by the use of modern machinery, was the concensus of opinion express ed in the fifth annual meeting of the American Society of agricultural En- gineers here tonight.
 "There is an increasing demand and We must make room for the mas ter mind .n the agricultural field. There are 5000 less farms in Iowa lhis year than last,' said Professor J. B.. Davidson of the Iowa State Agricul- tural College.
 "An agricultural survey made in Thompkins county New York, show ed that the small farmer was at best only making laborer's wages and that the larger farmer was making money It means that the farmers must put the farm on factory basis and quit guessing at profit and loss.'

WITNESS IS
 UNWILLING
MEAT PACKERS ATTORNEY RE- LUcTANTLY TELLS OF VARIOUS
 POOLS OF PACKERS.
Says National Packing Company Is Not a Meraer-Last Years Meat Statistics Show Remarkable
 Increase

Chicago, Dec. 2S. Albert II. Wee der, attorney for Swift and Company and the first witness called by the government in the trial of the ten Chicago packers, testified today that the defendants made two efforts to organize a merger in the summer of 1902 and that their efforts to finance the enterprise was unsuccessful Tn both instances
 The first plan was to include the Armour, Swift, Morris and Cudahy interests, with capital Of $923, ,O00,- OO0 divided as follows:
 Bonds $14l. .75OO0o; preferred stock s16S, ,75O,OO0' common stock S6l2,- O00,O0O.
 After the promoters had failed 10 finance this proposition through Kuhn Loeb and Co.,. of New York, the plan was changed to provide for 8 eapi- talization of $525,OO0,0O0. but the con dition of the money market made it impossible to finance the modified merger.
 MT. yeeder testified that E. H Har- riman, James stillman. a.nd other New York flnanciers were to have furnished the capital and the amount they were to receive as compensa- ton was $10,O0O,O00.
 The story of the proposed mergers was told chiefly by the reading tc the jury of contracts and agreements entered into by interested parties Counsel for the government then of fered the documehts in evidence.
 The late GustaSe F.. Swift was to have been president of the merger Edward Morris and Michael Cudahy were to have been vice presidents and J. ogden Armour chairman of the executive and finance committees.
 The witness told of the orgsniza- ton of the National Packing Compa ny, March IS, 1903 but denied it had any connection with the proposed merger. A ~.
 MT. Veeder was cn the witness stand when court adjourned
 He will resume his testimony to morrow and it is expected it will conclude before noon.
 It is expected his cross examina- ton will be brief as he has been an unwilling witness for the government because of his close relations with the packers of 1885,
 Henry veeder son of A. II Vee- der, who is said to have acted as secretary for the old packers pool known to the government under. the name of "Postoffice Box No. 247''. will be the next witness.
