ARCHBOLD ADMITS
WRITING letters

The letter in fun was as follows:

Dear Mr. Archbold-l am in receipt
of your letter of the 25th and shall
carefully take up the name of youi
brother-in in-law with the hope that

Theodore Roosevelt"
The other letters recently made
public were in that regard. The pres.
ident was anxious to see Mr.. Archbold
and advised him to come to Washing
ton and Archbold's regrets that he
could not be present. but that ho
might later come. Mr.. Archbold told
the committee that he did not go To
airy 1904.

attitude of having been brought u

IAN honest dollar and a chance TO

kinley campaign and for sixteen
years the republican party has made
it good. There is no reason why the
condition which now exists should
not continue If the republican party
is kept in power. There is every
reason to fear that there might be a
disastrous change If the democratic
party, clinging still to the same doe
trine that brought havoc to the bus

was in power should be put In con-
troll of the nations affairs.

ccived and disbursed by you ana youf

and particularly by eliminating lh1

we're done. Five or six Of Mr.. Roosa-
yelts witnesses have already admitted
that they expended approximately
SGd7,O00.
The letter stated this was exclusive
Of the money spent in "A great number

which amounted to not less than 81

his letter to Mr.. Perkins that the
latter had been an active figure IN
the International Harvester Company
and that as chairman Of the finance
committee, to "all intents and pur-

COST or LIVING DECLINING.

The report of the United yates
bureau of labor recently issued and
which appeared to show still fur
thcr advance in the cost of the nee
cssaries of NE, Is declared by lead
ing retail merchants, In an article
published in the Boston Post, Sept.
2S. to be largely misleading, for the
to show prices on June 10, since
which time there has been a very
marked reduction. These merchants
declare that flour, for example, is
lower than It has been at any time
in two years that potatoes have
reached the lowest point in five
years, that sugar Is considerably
cheaper now than year ago, that
canned goods show reduction Of
something like % per cent since last
spring, that rolled oats has declined
in price nearly 80 per cent, and so
on through the list.
The truth is these merchants de-
clare that so far as Boston prices
are concerned, the average is as low
as II has been in twenty years SO
that In point OF fact, the outcry
against the high cost oE living Is
largely based upon misinformation.
while the foregoing facts are no
doubt authentic, the republican party
does not depend upon them in any
degree as an argument in this cam
paign Republicans may well admit
that II costs more to live under re-
publican administration than under
is worth more, and everybody knows
particularly that the people have
more to live with.
And that is the real question Moth
ing Is dear If it can be procured with
financial ease, and nothing is cheap
If YOU have not got the money to buy
1t. II is not the price you pay fsr the
things YOU buy that determints
whether you will prosper or not, 1t
is the price YOU get for what you
sell. whether you sell farm products
or merchandise, or time or skin, or
learning or labor Cheap food won't
keep man from being hungry IL he
is earning nothing with which to buy
it. cheap clothing will not keep
man warm if he has not the price to
pay for 1t.
Democratic orators and newspapers
try TO make people believe that dem
ocratic administration would in some
mysterious way reduce the price of
everything they have to buy without
in any way interfering with the price
of what they have to sell. OF course
that is a flat impossibilty. We can't
have tiye-ccnt bacon and tcn-Cont
hogs. We can't have cheap flour and
high priced wheat We can't sell
shoes and clothing for song and
stu pay high wages to the men who
make them.
The republican party does not
claim that the recollection Of prcsi-
dent Taft would reduce the cost Of
living lint it does claim that his re-
election viii preserve the conditions
which now exist and under which it
is easter To earn "a living than 1t ever

went on the day appointed to Oyster
Bay at the invitation Of Col. Roose-
velt."
Mr. Archbold declared the letters
made public by Mr. Hearst had been
stolen from his office, but he declined
to name those whom he suspected II
the theft. He said he ed the
letters contained notli sub
Ject to lust criticism they
were such letters as d po-
sition like mine would Nille to men

81 never made request Of any
man that meant the infraction If an
existing law or the making Of any
new law or the giving of any special
privilege" he said. "Of course, con-
ditions have changed; the campaign
publicity laws since may have chang
ed things, but the other matters in
the letters l would repeat today. l
have no opology to make"
He declared that 1t was amazing
that man in Mr.. RooseVelt's posi-
ton would make the assertion that
because of his contribution of money
for Senatr Penrose for campaign
purposes Mr.. Penrose should be ex-
PEELED from the senate.
1T is monstrous thing to say"
said Archbold.
