NEGLECT OF THE FARMERS

Democratic government does not

to be recalled, owing TO lack of funds

ROB AND FIRE PosToFFIcE
AdeII General Store Containipe Post
Office Destroyed by Blaze
Started by Bandits.

AdeH.-A gang of yeggmen fore
ed an entrance in the postofice at
Adell. located in the Saemann-zieg-
Ter company's general store, blew
open the safe and escaped with $500
in stamps and stamped envelopes.
After they left the building caught
hre and was totally destroyed togeth-
er with the contents. causing a loss
estimated at 100000.
Everything located in the post
Office that gave evidence of being of
value was taken by the robbers. who
escaped south of the city. They even
took the key with which the post
master and his assistant unlock the
mail sacks.
1t is supposed that the safe was
blown about a. m, as some of the
residents heard an explosion at that
time, but the robbery was not dis
covered until O'clock when the IRE
broke out. BY that time the flames
had reached such Roadway that it
was impossible to stop them and any
evidence that might have led to the
capture of the bandits was DESTROYED
with the building and it's contents.
Half mile south of AdelI, on the
road to Random Lake, a package OF
papers belonging to Assistant Post
master L. G. Ziegler, which had been
placed in the postoffice safe, were
found the next morning. They were
OF no value to the robbers, who dis
carded them in their flight.
Immediately after it had been dis
covered that the postofice had been
robbed, an alarm was sent to all OF
the surrounding towns. A number
OF residents say that they had seen
a number of we'll dressed out sus-
picious looking characters about the

A WASTE OF .S225, 900,
John Sinclair Discusses Result of Re,
cent Trip Abroad for the State
Board OF Public Affairs.

Madison. THAT a saving of $225,-
100000 could be made to the con-
sumers and producers OF the farm
produce of this country through CO.
operative buying and selling is the
opinion of John Sinclair of the Wis
consin legal reference library.
Mr.. Sinclair was sent by the Wis
consin state board of public affairs
to England, Denmark and other
European countries in which COOP
erative marketing has succeeded, to
study the methods followed there
and to determine whether or not
these would be applicable to Wis
consin conditions
The farm produce of this country
is worth about $4,000, 100000, and
assuming that half of this represents
/. the cost of marketing under the pres
ent system, Mr.. Sinclair, in his re-
port, estimates that at least 8 per
cent of the other half could be saved
by the producers by having their own
cooperative managers and sales
agents
This would mean net gain to the
people of 1925. zoe, 600. And the
experience of cooperation in Ireland
and Denmark, as told in Mr.. Sin
clair's report, is that many times that
amount may he saved.
The great aim in cooperation, ac-
eording to Mr.. Sinclair, is to increase
production and to get the product to
the consumer as economically as pos.

COLONEL ANSWERS
BADGER SENATOR
EXPRESSES Regret That La Fol-
Iette Opposes Progressives.
QUOTES SPEECHES BY BOB
One Made in April. 1908. Is Alleged
TO Favor Third Term for Roose-
velt-CoIonel Answers Criticism on
Tariff Record of His Administrator

Oshkosh.-A defense of his record
an the tariff question and an attack
on Woodrow Wilson's position were
made by Col. Roosevelt in his speech
here. Gov Wilson, he said, had been
the hope of the progressiyes, but had
changed his attitude and 'at present
his sole chance lies in the support of
the reactionaries.
Here, in Senator La Follettes own
state, the colonel discussed for the
first tine in his campaign the sena-
tors opposition to him. He replied
to Senator La Follette's attacks by
taking up number of points on
which the senator has based his
criticism of the former president. He
expressed regret that the senator had
ranged himself against the progress
sive party and quoted from a speech
last year in the senate in which Mr..
La Toilette eulogized him. He also
quoted Senator La Toilette as saying
in a speech in April, 1907, that Col
Roosevelt should have another term.
Col Roosevelt said that the pro-
gressive party's campaign fund this
year would be less than half the fund
of either the democratic or the re-
publican party. The progressives, he
said, were planning on basis that
would involve the expenditure of
about $350.00O.
The colonel reached Oshkosh at
the end of a journey from st. Paul,
during which, in spite of rain, crowds
met him at every station to hear him
speak from the rear platform. The
meeting was held in a warehouse
here. Two halls had been engaged,
but it was found that they would
seat only part of the crowd.
Answering criticisms that he did
not take up the tariff question during
his administration, Col. Roosevelt de-
clared that business conditions at the
time were such that a change of the
tariff would have been folly.

OF FARMER
PROTECTION GIVES HIM GOOD
MARKETS FOR HIS PRODUCTS
AT FAIR PRICES,
PRACTICAL BENEFITS SHOWN
Prosperity Under Republican Admins
tration, With Distress Under Dem
ocratle Control, is the Answer to
Professor Wilson's Inaccurate
Statements Regarding Tariff,

Professor Wilson, who has been ad-
VoCating free trade In all of his speech
es, says that the farmers never have
been protected and do not need pro
lection. Then he ads:
But everything you use on the
farm, everything that you wear and a
great deal of what you eat, but do not
produce yourself, including meats.
bears a heavy duty which brings
about the interesting result that you
are paying for the wealth of the Unit
ed States and getting nothing, or
equivalent to nothing so far as the
tariff is concerned Now that has not
just begun to be true. 1t has always
been true"
It Is not true. The protective. tariff
does benefit the farmers They know
1t, and by their voets have helped to
maintain the policy Of protection Ev-
cry Republican victory has been due
to the vote of the farmers In support
of the protective system. These far
mers have not been mistaken through
all these years. The value of protec-
ton has been demonstrated to them
over and over again.
The fact is that every time tariff
duties have been reduced below the
protective point. the farmers in this
country have been heavy losers be.
cause of diminished demand and lower
prices for their products On the 9TH
er hand. in every period of restored
protection, the farmers have reaped
the benefits of greater demand and
increased prices There has been no
exception to the rule OF prosperity for
American farmers, when American
labor is fully employed
There were good crops between
1892 and 1897. The rains fell, the
sun shone, the ground was just as fer
tile as now. In those years however,
corn sold for 16 cents bushel and
wheat for IS cents a pushed.
Why?
Because the factories were closed
and millions of men were idle With
the lowering of the tariff duties, Amer
lean merchants bought their goods
abroad, and the orders which should
have gone to American factories kept
foreign labor busy. AS payment FOR
these various goods had to be made
in gold, the vaults Of the banks and
Of the United States treasury became
empty There was great stringency Of
money. II was impossible to negoti
ate loans, and banks suspended
The farmer shared in these disas-
ters because he had no market for his
products.
After the Republicans came into
power and passed laws which turned
the tide of commerce back from
Europe to the United States, good
times began again. and the farmers
shared in the general prosperity.
These are the figures, comparing 1898
with 1911:
Corn advanced 30 per cent
Wheat advanced 81 per cent
Cotton advanced 1866 per cent
Oats advanced IS per cent
Rye advanced 1877 per cent.
Barley advanced 30s per cent
