GOV. HOARD ENDORSES JUDGE
KAREL.

Wisconsin has useful citizen than the
Hon. W d. Hoard of Fort Atkinson. To Gov. Hoard
more than to any other man belongs the credit
of having made Wisconsin the great Dairy State OF
this Nation. Farmers all over these United States
recognize the greatness and valuable services OF
William Dempster Hoard. The people of this state
have honored him by election governor and
the position in the Presidents cabinet Secretary
of Agriculture has repeatedly been rendered him in
recognition of his great services to agriculture. AL
ways loyal to the republican party. but more loyal
to the interests of his native state and its people,
Governor Hoard turns his back upon the renegade
McGovern for his base desertion of the republican
national ticket and in the last issue of his paper
urges all loyal republicans to cast their votes for
Judge Jonn G. Karel
Every good republican is thoroughly justified in
voting the state democratic ticket this year be-
cause of McGoverns base desertion of the national
republican ticket, is part of the former governors
advice. 'Give McGovern and his band of boilers
taste of their medicine and let them see how
they like it. This is not the only reason. 1t is
pretty nearly time we had governor and legisa-
ture who will quit squanderng the peoples money
on these up in the air progressive schemes.
Thousands of republicans have given assurances of
support and they may rest assured that Governor
Karel will make good and give Wisconsin an honest
economical business administration

The attempted assassination of ex.President
Roosevelt on Monday evening of last week while in
Milwaukee, by fanatic by the name of John
Schrank, has filed the entire world with horror.
1t is no fault of Schrank that lis victim was not in
stanty killed, but Mr. Roosevelt was lucky in car
rying papers in his pocket which saved his life 1t
seems that our great will have to be encased in
armcr when they indulge in the pleasant past
time Of minging with their fellow men. Men who
commit such dastardy, cowardly crimes, whether
successful or not should be placed where they win
never have an opportunity to make the second
attempt on human life. All are rejoicing that our
expresident escaped being killed outright and in
a condition physically to survive the serious gun
wound which he has received. The latest accounts
that Roosevelt is well along the road to recovery

UNMASKING The
TARIFF DELUS|ON
Franklin Pierce Shows That La.
Dor Is Not Benefited by
Unjust Tax.
MANUFACTURERS KEEPS PROFIT
Proof of Democratic Platforms Sound.
ness Cited In Reports of Wage In
vestlgatIons.
BY FRANKLIN PIERCE.

For hundred years of our history
the manufacturers, believing that they
received benefit from the protective
tariffs, have ingeniously devised plaus-
ible pretexts for imposing increased
prices upon the necessaries of life AT
first they said that industry in our
country was in it's infancy and needed
protection. When those industries had
become strong and needed no aid the
manufacturers invented the theory
that the foreigner paid the duty. This
theory was exploded, and they declar-
ed that cheap clothing meant cheap
men and was not a blessing.
Driven from every one of these indie
feasible positions, their final and only
argument left today is that the tariff
is imposed upon foreign imports to en-
able the manufacturer to increase his
profits and pay higher wages.
The Democratic platform declares
that:
In the most highly protected indus
tries, such as cotton and wool, steel
and iron, the wages of the laborers are
the lowest raid in any of our indus
tries"
Proof of this statement is found iii
reports of many recent official inyesr.
cations Of wages In the United States.
Wages In Cotton Industry.
Under the existing Payne-Aldriofl
tariff law actual imports of cotton
cloth paid in 1910 average dutfes AZ
56.4 per cent.

tions in the cotton industry were ex-
ceptionally good, the wages of 202, Iii

Why Bayona played Badly.

Juan Antonio Bayona played the
trombole badly the other night at the
performance in a Madrid theater. The
soprano was singing and Bayona's dis
cordant notes disturbed her and the
audience as well. Disturbed most of
all was the conductor of the orches-
ira. He demanded an explanation and
got it.
AS Bayona was entering the theater
that evening his cigar fell from its
holder. In STOPPING to pick up the
cigar his eye fell on q newspaper clip
ping. He picked that up also, and this
is what he read:
A rich Spanish merchant has just
died In California, leaving fortune of
$200,000,000. In his will he appoints
his brother, Juan Antonio Bayona,
sole executor. Inquiries made at the
consulate only prove that Juan An,
tonic Bayona lived In Valencia until
1882 and married in Madrid In 1884.
where he died in 1901"
Juan A. Bayona, the trombcnist ia
the son of Juan A. Bayona, who an

OSCAR L. RINGLE.

The PILoT wishes to impress upon the minds OF
the voters that Oscar L. Ringle is candidate for
member of Assembly for the second district of Mara
thon county The second district comprises the city
of Wausau and that part of the county East of the
Wisconsin river, Mr. Ringle is well known to our
people having made Wausau his home all his life.
He is graduate of our high school and also of the
law school of tre-Wisconsin University. 1t is I'M
necessary for the pIoT to go into details concerning
one so well known; suffice it to say that if elected
he will do honor to himself and to the county He
is an able lawyer, hard worker and above has the
courage of his convictions. The second district
should give Mr.. Ringle large majority.

| portance, the duties on wooden cloth
are the highest of any in the tariff
| schedules. According to Senator Reed
Smoot, owner of a wooden mill al
Provost, Utah, and chairman of the
finance committee in charge of tariff
legislation in the senate, wearing ap
parel valued at 80 cents pound now
pays 206 % per cent. duty.
This and other correspondingly high
duties on the manufactures of wool
are made to enable the manufactures
to pay his labor an increased wage
over those Of foreign countries. But
the duty on wooden goods is nearly five
times the entire labor cost, while the
American manufacturers in 1905 paid
in wages only Is per cent. Of the total
value of their production.
At Lawrence in this most highly pro-
tected industry the laborers were
obliged to strike even for a living
wage. Thousands of adult males were
receiving only from Sc to 50 a week
and many only IS to Sc a week. AS a
result of the strike the American
Wooden company gave it's employees
slight increases u wages
The wool tariff, bill vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft reduced the duties on raw
wool from 1920 to 29 per cent and on
manufactures of wool from S765 to
1885 per cent. Mr.. Taft said he We
toed it because the proposed rates did
not comply with the findings of the
tariff board Senator La Toilette con-
tradicted the president, saying that
the proposed rates varied from per
cent. lower to 11.6 higher than the
tariff boards findings justified
Low Wages In Steel.
Manufacturers of iron and steel in
1905 paid in wages only Is per cent
of the total value of their production,
while the duty then would average
about As to AZ per cent, and on all
metals 1t now averages 34.51 per cent.
American wages are really the
cheapest wages in the world when you
take into account the amount Of PRO-
duetion per man.
An illustration, of this appears in
the Stanley report, investigating the
steel trust, as follows:
THE labor cost of producing pig
iron In Pennsylvania fell from s1.25 a
ton in 1902 to 81 cents ton In 1863,
yet the realized value OF the pig iron
output was $15.64 in 1902, whereas it
was s1744 in 1909 In other words,
wageworkers in 1902 got s1.25 for pro
ducing only 1854 worth of pig iron
and in 1909 only So cents for produc-
ing $17.44 worth.
While thus treating labor the indus
trial combinations that have grown up
under the protection of the tariff have
fixed the prices Of commodities at the
highest point the home market would
stand For twelve years they have
been unjustly transferring through the
protection tariff billions OF dollars from
the earnings Of labor into their own
pockets.
When viii the laboring men of the
country cant on this delusfon that the
tariff is for their benefit and with
their votes strike down this monstrous
Injustice?

FACTS FOR TAXPAYERS.

The tax bill of all the counties has increased at
an enormous rate since 1894, the last year for the
last democratic administration. For instance, take
the counties given herewith picked at random from
the list. This is the tax paid by the coanties enum-
Grated. In some, it might be in all, percentage
of the total amount may have been returned to
the county counties, but that was the case in
1894 as it may be this year.
This will by no means, be an acceptable reason
for the outrageous increase in the tax levy in each
and every county in Wisconsin Here some of
