MANY WORDS OF CHEER
Contributors to the Campaign Fund
Who Believe in President
Taft.

One of the most encouraging fac
tors in the campaign is the enthusi-
asm expressed by the many contrib
utors to the Republican campaign
fund.
1t is my deliberate Judgment"
writes Chicago merchant, that Mr..
Taft has been one of the best presi.
dents that the United States has had
in the last forty years and believe
that he deserves reelection"
I'VE do not need any change in the
presidency" writes Wisconsin con.
tributor, 'and in my opinion we are
not going to have any change. Presi-
dent Taft is an honest, able and con-
scientious man and he deserves and
will receive reelection. In this local
ity the sentiment is coming his way"
Hundreds of letters contain similar
expressions of opinion. They show
in every section a strong feeling that
President Taft's splendid administra-
ton has made deep impression and
that people do not want a change.
The Glenwood post., 1912-10-26

Mr.. Roosevelt's explanation is un-
worthy of consideration for two rea-
sons. In the first place. man in
his position from whom advice and
suggestion had been sought by the
president of the United States ought
not to admit having hastily endorsed
reciprocity without knowing what he
was doing. AS a matter OF fact, Mr..
Roosevelt's letters and speeches
his record.
More than this. Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-
PLANTATION Is an insult to the intelli-
gent voter because in his letter to
President Taft he says. Il firmly be-
lieve in free trade with Canada -
This is going farther than President
Taft ever went. because Mr.. Taft's
idea of reciprocity was to obtain val
liable consideration in return for con-
cessions granted. Roosevelt's free
trade proposition II enacted into law
would break down all the barriers
between Canada and the United
States and would cause tremendous
financial loss to American farmers.
The fact Is that Mr. Roosevelt was
heartily in favor of reciprocity and
of free trade with Canada until he
made his tour of the west before the
Republican national convention. when
he found that reciprocity was unpop-
ular. Then he shifted. His pres
ent attitude demonstrates his utter
insincerity and shows that he is ready
to do anything to catch votes. He
is ready to endorse anything that he
believes is popular and to condemn
that which he thinks is unpopular
without regard to his own convictions
or wise governmental policies. The
manner in which he has suddenly re-
versed himself in the hope that by
so doing he would gain a few votes is
an example of demagogism thorough
ly typical of his character.
1t is also important to remember
chat if a Democratic president should
be elected reciprocity with Canada
would soon be an accomplished fact,
inasmuch as the Democrats in the
house of representatives voted for 1t
and also voted against repeating the
law which had been passed Demo-
cratic reciprocity is the kind that
the Canadian newspapers are hoping
Canada will secure, because it will
mean that Canada will get everything
from the United States and give moth
ing in return.

ROOSEVELT AND
RECIPROCITY ISSUE
INSINCERlTY AND DEMAGOGlSM
OF THIRD TERM CAN
DIDATE SHOWN.
WHY HE SHIFTED POSITION
He Not Only Favored Reciprocity but
Wrote President Taft That He
Firmly Believed in Free Trade
With Canada.

Although reciprocity fs now p dead
| issue, it is worth while, for the en-
lightenment Of those who oppose
President Taft for his endorsement
OF reciprocity. to recall the position
taken by Colonel Roosevelt upon that
question. Mr. Roosevelt favors free
trade with Canada and was an ardent
advocate and supporter Of reciprocity
until he found that its endorsement
would not help him in his third term
race.
President Taft, while he was con-
sidering the question Of reciprocity,
naturally consulted with ex-President
Roosevelt He knew that Mr. Roose-
welt had been president, that he was
familiar with the subject and that he
was. at that time, good and loyal
Republican. When, in the course of
lengthy letter, he asked Mr.. Roose-
velt's advice, he reviewed both sides
of the matter in impartial fashion.
Mr. Roosevelt's reply was not only a
full endorsement but he went SO far
as to advocate absolute free trade
with Canada. Mr. Roosevelt wrote
as follows:
Roosevelt for Free Trade With Canada.
New York, Jan. IL, 1911.
Dear Mr.. President:
1t seems to me that what you pro-
pose to do with Canada is admirable
from every standpoint firmly be-
lieve In free trade with Canada for
both economic and political reasons.
AS you say, labor cost is substantially
the same in the two countries, so
that you are amply justified by the
platform. Whether Canada will ac-
cept such reciprocity l do not know.
but it Is greatly to your credit to
make the effort.
Ever yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Not only in his letter to President
Taft, but also in speeches Mr.. Roose-
welt endorsed reciprocity At Grand
Rapids, Mich. on February IL, 1911,
he said:
Here, friends, in Michigan, right
on the northern frontier have the
peculiar right to say a word of con-
graduation to you and to all of us
upon the likelihood that we shall soon
have closer reciprocal tariff and trade
relations with the great nation to the
north of u.s.
And in speech before the Repub-
lican club of New York city, deliy-
cred on February 13, 1911, Mr.. Roose-
velt gave emphatic endorsement Of
President Taft and reciprocity in the
following words:
"I want to say how glad am at
the way IN which the members Of the
club here tonight responded to the
two appeals made to them to uphold
the hands Of President Taft, both in
his effort to secure reciprocity with
Canada and in his effort to secure
the fortiflcation of the Panama canal"
Explanation Does Not Explain.
In the face OF this record Mr.. Roose-
welt now explains his antagonism to
reciprocity by saving that he did not
fully understand the proposition and
endorsed it under misrepresentation
of its details.

WAITING TO SHIP
WOOL TO THE U. S.
Australian Sheep RaIsers Anxious for
Democratic VIC
tory.

From the GLASGOW. Mont. Independent.
The Hon. James Bryce. British am
bassador to the United States, has
been in Australia this summer and in
recent speech at Melbourne he cheer
ed the hearts of the Australian wool
growers by telling that there was pros
pect Of an early reduction in the
American wool tariff. This, he pre-
dicted, would mean large increase in
the wool experts from Australia to
the United States.
The ambassador Is right. That is
Just what will happen IL the wool tariff
Is lowered. and the Montana sheep
men know. because they remember
what happened in 1894 when wool
wasn't worth anything and when sheep
were worth even less. When the Dem
ocratic members of the ways and
means committee Of the house, in the
recent session Of congress, presented
their wool bill for consideration, they
claimed that 1t would increase the i'm
ports OF wool into America by 19O,-
100000 pounds.
But there can be no increase in the
consumption Of wool and the Amer
lean grower is wondering what would
become of 190,OOO,OOO pounds of his
wool under the Democratic tariff laws.
Nearly 30,OOO,0O0 of that 100000 is
grown right here in Montana 1t is no
wonder that England is urging the
election of a Democratic congress and
that London looks with favor upon the
candidacy of Woodrow Wilson.

WILL GET MORE SALARY
Promotions and Increased Pay for
10000 Railway Mail Clerks.

Still another evidence of Repub-
Ncan prosperity and President Taft's
sincerity in endeavoring to benefit
the toiler was manifested when he
recommended to congress that the
clerks in the railway mail service be
classified and given an increase in
wages There are 167O0 clerks in
that branch of the governments serv-
ice, and the postal appropriations bill
signed by the president Just before
congress adjourned carried with 1t
the promotion with increased pay of
1900 men on Oct 1, 1912, and those
not promoted on that date will re-
ceive more pay at the end of the cur
rent fiscal year.
The new law provides for three
classes Of railway postal lines with
their transfer and terminal offices, the
compensation ranging highest on the
lines where the work Is heaviest. Be-
ginning With $500 . year, all clerks
who render faithful and efYicient serv-
ice receive annual promotions Of 500
until they reach the maximum Of the
successive annual grades. after which
they may be promoted at intervals
for specially meritorious service until
their annual compensation reaches
1900 in the highest class. Chief
clerks in the railway mail service re-
ceive $4,000 year.
More than $1,O00,000 a year will
be involved In these increases.

President Tsft's pisnitied Attitude.
From the Quincy Gll.) Whig:

FIOnI tI1e 9uTHCy TIII.J WH1g.
President Taft has old-fashioned
but nevertheless admirable ideas, re-
garding the dignity of his official sta
ton. He believes that 1t i'll BELTS
the incumbent Of the high office he
occupies to take the stump and argue
with the people that they should re-
elect him. The record Of his admin.
istration is an open book. and II that
record does not commend him to the
favor Of the country he will not 70
forth and importune voters to give
him another term. The presidents at.
titude is an admirable one.

The Kind of a Man He is,


A few months ago little Polish
girl at Erie, Pa, wrote this letter to
President Taft:
Dear Mr.. President:-Myself and
little brother are cold and hungry.
Mother is In jail. We are without food
and wood. Dear Mr.. President. can't
you help us?"
What did the president do? Excuse
himself on the ground of official dig
nifty, or pre-occupation? No. He an
swered the letter with his own hand,
enclosing a crisp bill; telegraph the
authorities at Erie, who inves ligated
the case, and before sR.dowu re-
turned the mother to her serroving
children.
By the way. did you ever e1d or
hear of Colonel Roosevelt daiHs a
gentle. kindly. tenderhearted thing
like that7

Evidence Offered With Proof.

Evidence to the same effect is given
by the Gale Manufacturing company
of Albion, Mich, which was specifical-
ly charged by the free trade advocates
with selling goods more cheaply to
Canadian farmers than to American
farmers.
The secretary and general manager
OF the company, under date of August
80, 1912, wrote to the Tariff Reform
club denying the charge and threaten
ing to sue for damages unless the as
sertion was promptly retracted. The
firm also wrote to the Republican ma
tional committee as follows:
"Plows, planters, cultivators and
other farm machinery made in the
United States cost 25 per cent. more
in Canada than in this country. You
can stand on this statement, and If it
is challenged we can produce proof"
The proof mentioned in this letter
consists of letters from retail dealers
throughout Canada quoting the prices
at which the products OF the Michigan
factory are sold to Canadian farmers.
These figures agree substantially with
those given in the government publi-
cation. For instance, a planter which
sells in Detroit for $40 costs s45 in
Windsor, less than mile away across
the Detroit river, and cultivator
which sells in Detroit for $50 cannot
be bought in Windsor for less than
s36.
AS soon as free trade statements
are subjected to the cold analysis of
investigation their falsity is shown.
1t is an old proverb that a lie Will
travel seven leagues while truth isg
putting on its boots. 1t is important,
therefore. that farmers who have
heard the untruths of the free traders
should promptly learn the real facts in
the case.

turner's Buncoed by the High

dustriously circulated among farmers
by the Tariff Reform bureau Of New
York. free trade annex of the Demo
cratic party.
1t asserts that American-made farm
implements are sold in Canada at .
lower price than they are obtainable
by American farmers. The purpose
OF the statement Is to prove that the
American farmers are made to suffer
through the operation Of the protect
i've tariff laws.
The statement is false. Plows.
planters. cultivators and other farm
implements made in the United States
cost twenty-five per cent. more in
Canada than in this country
The free trade advocates who try
to mislead the American farmer do
not know, apparently, that there Is a
so-called anti-dumping law in Canada
whereby an American manufacturer
cannot sell in that country at lower
price than at home.

Official Facts and Figures.

In addition to this, they are also
ignorant of the fact that the United
States government, through its board
OF trade relations in the state de-
partment, has made thorough inves-

sertion. 1t issued under date of May
16, 1910, a document entitled Com
parison Of Prices of Agricultural I'm
plements in Canada and the, United
States" which shows that Canadian
farmers pay more for American farm
machinery than is paid by the Ameri-
can farmers. Here are some of the
figures:
