The great convention Of 1880 had more
great men in one delegation than this
convention has in its entire make up.
Four men who were afterward presi.

was chairman of the Ohio delegation
and William Mckinley was one OF its
members. Benjamin Harrison was
chairman of the Indiana delegation
and Chester A. Arthur was delegate
from New York. The peerless Ros.

Empire state. while John a. Logan,
Emory A. Storrs, Shelby NJ. Cullom,
Richard J. Oglesby and others rep.
resented Illinois. The convention
sparkled with greatness and George F.
Hoar, the distinguished senator from
Massach usetts, was the chairman. The
twenty thousand men and women who
made up the spectators embraced
some Of the greatest people In the
land, and General Phil Sheridan, who

RAPID GROWTH IN EXPORTS TO
SOUTH AMERICA.

Exports to South America have
shown phenomenal gain in the fiscal
year which ends with the present
month. Prior to 1911 the total value
OF exports 10 South America had never
reached 100 million dollars, In 1911
the total was, speaking in round terms,
100 million dollars, and in the current
fiscal year which ends with the pres
ent month seems likely 10 be about
1885 million dollars, having more than
doubled since 1905.
Argentina is the country showing by
far the largest gain in our exports 10
South America. The figures now avail
able in the Bureau OF Statistics OF the
Department OF Commerce and LaboS
indicate that the total exports 10 Ar.
gentina for the complete fiscal year

LABOR AND PRICES.

That the cost of labor and the price
OF living should be regulated by law
is becoming evident to every one.
Where there is no regulation there is
a diversity OF interest that can never
be harmonized and that will continue
TO work 10 the disadvantage OF all con-
cerned. Fairness and justice TO all

doubled in the period in question. To
Brazil the total exports for the fiscal
year will exceed 80 million dollars In
value, against II million in 1906. an
even larger percentage Of gain than
in the case of Argentina. To Chile
the total for the year will amount to
about Is million dollars, against 5h
million in 1905. also a gain Of nearly
goo per cent. To Uruguay the figures

verges close to nonsense to say that
he favors big business and then to
declare that legislation for the regu-
lation of big business is legislation to
recognize and legalize monopoly.
Nothing in the way of specific

encouraging. He speaks of the
processes now perfectly discoverable,

that the plants of the steel corpora

it merely mean that the corporation

latter is what he means Governor
Wilson should lose no time in sending
message to Governor Marshall, his
running mate, begging him to change
his discourse. Governor Marshall
has had great success with audiences

them up, were singing Dissolve US

Iegalize monopoly and then falls to
beating the man of straw that he has

For twenty-five years the trust

Household Expenses.

Here are a few considerations for
those who are looking for a remedy
for the high cost of some parts of our
living expenses. An increase of $125
per annum or so in household expenses
is a serious matter, and it is easy to
blame it on the tariff. But the Payne
Tariff has not raised the cost of living
in England and France, nor has it
forced up prices in Turkey and China.
Our tariff is local, the rise in prices is
world wide. The high cost of living. if
it only affected lands of Protection,
might plausibly be laid to the door of
Protection. 1t is, however, as marked
under the low tariff of England as I'M
der the high tariff of Germany.
Manufactured articles of many kinds
are far cheaper than they We're thirty
years ago. The decline in iron prices
is one Of the maryels of civilization.
from steel rails to frying pans, prices
have fallen and again fallen. So with
