Tariff Duties Not Paid by Users
ga of American Goods.
his ADDRESS SHOULD Be READ.
Workers WIN Recognize His Distortion
Of Figures and Facts and viii Not
Be Reauiled by lt-shows How
Hard Pushed the Democrats Are
For an Argument.

It is to be hoped that every Ameri-
can worker In she various industries
protected by the tariff viii read the
address of Mr.. Underwood, Democrat
&c leader in the house OF represents
uves, in which he sets forth as taxa
ton the tariff duties on articles In
ordinary use. There is nothing novel
in the Underwood distortion Of tariff
figures and facts. II is as threadbare
as free trade, as threadbare as the
American worhngman would soon be
II he should allow himself to be beguil-
ed by Underwood and other votaries
of the late Confederate constitution
into the surrender OF Republican pro-
lection.
It is true as Underwood says, that
the tariff taxes he describes are i'm
posed on articles such as he describes
-woolen clothing, shoes, the tin pail,
window pane, carpet, etc. but he Is
wholly and deliberately wrong and
misleading when he says that the du-
ties in question are imposed on or adj
ded to the cost OF these articles, as
used IN the ordinary American family.
The tariff tar is imposed on goods
manufactured abroad and imported for
sale in competition with goods made in
America by American workers earning
American wages.
The man or woman who IS satisfied
with the product Of American labor
and nine-tenths of the American people
are so satis1ed-has no tariff tax to
pay, and this is shown by the fact that
the American article, with its manu-
facture fostered by protection, is often
cheaper in price than the imported
would be without paying tariff duties.
The tariff duties prevent excessive
imports, which would food the mar
kets, as imported goods flooded the
market under the tariff reductions
made by the Democratic Wilson bill Of
1894, reducing not only the tariff, but
reducing also the demand for Amert-
can goods and for American labor to
make American goods.
Mr.. Underwood's statement is cheap
claptrap. We had supposed that style
of talk too muddy and cobwebbed for
further exercise. and the fact that IT is
again dragged out of the discard proves
how hard pushed the free trade DEM
ocracy is for something to bolster its
waning cause.

NEED TO EXTEND
FARM TEACHING

on request OF the extension d!rec-
tor.
In organizing extension work
within the confines OF any state. the
college should. OF course, undertake
TO establish satisfactory relation
ship with all other agencies at work
therein. These agencies may include
the experiment station. the state de-
partment of agriculture. farmers
institute organizations. normal
schools. district agricultural schools
and the U. S. department of agricul-
ture. a cooperative plan of work
can generally be arrived at which
will be satisfactory and enable all to
work together in harmony and with
greater success than If they endeav-
ored to operate independently. The
number OF agencies to consider and
the relationship which they shall
bear to each other and the nature
and extent of the work undertaken
by each can only be properly deter
mined by a knowledge of the exist
ing local conditions.
While the public has not yet
realized the al-important nature OF
extension teaching so far as agricul-
tural topics are concerned, the work
has already made remarkable pro-
gress. Six years ago practically
nothing had been done along this
line save the organ!zat on of farm
ers' institutes. Now there are ex-
tension departments in more than
thirty states, employing several hun
bred men as specialists.
ut is now conceded that the ag-
rlcultural colleges and experiment
stations have had marvellous inhu-
ence on the economic development
Of the United States. 1t IS quite GER
tain that the service which these in
stitutlons have rendered up to the
present time is to be greatly magni-
fed through the development OF
their extension teaching facilities"

COMMITTED
In a Pen:tentiary Sentence TO
One in the Jail Of This
County.

CHARLESTON, Sept. 13.-Be-
cause OF the recommendation OF
clomency by the military commits
sion and the ignorance of the accus-
cd as TO the meaning of martial law
Governor William E. Glasscock has
committed the two-year sentence OF
John Seachrist in the penitentiary
to three months in the Harrison
county jail. Seachrist was riding
on passenger train three Pratt,
and noticing military officer stand
ing on the platform swore at him
and when ordered to shut up or con
s!der himself under arrest, Sea-
christ dcfed any so der to arrest
him. Major Pratt Immediately
boarded the train to apprehend the
rufian, and as Pratt approached
seachrIst struck him but he mis-
, judged his man for in the next in
slant the bragadocio was knocked
out OF him and he was carried to
the military headquarters.
Under the statutes the minimum
sentence. uness a recommendation
of clemency is made by the military
commission. for assaulting an OIL
Ger acting under martial law, IS two
years in the penitentiary.
The military commission could
not fix a lesser sentence than two
years, but recommended clemency
and the sentence was fixed by the
governor to suit te-s wishes of the
military commission and at the
same time to mete out justice.

GAS FIELDS WILL
Be TAPPED SOON
West Virginia Fuel Will Be
Taken to More Big
Ohio Cities.

CLEVELAND. o. Sept, in. B.
Daily. president of the East Ohio
Gas Company. who has returned
from Columbus and Toledo. says
that a gas main will be built from
the West Virginia fields just as soon
as the public service commission
grants permission,
"The buying OF the Mohican Gas
Company. at Akron. was simply to
relieve the situation until the main
can be built" said he. Eve viii
supply Akron from the fields which
have supplied the Nohican company
and that will allow the natural gas
from the present mains which run
from used by Cleveland consumers"
n I'VE do not want to be bound to
build a main to West Virginia if we
can get better supply from some
field nearer which might be discov-
cred. However. We confidently ex-
pect that we will have to go to
West vrgna for a gas supply. We
do not know where csc We can get
t."
DAILY said that clevelanders need
have no worry about having to use
gas fom tint Akron fields. and ad.
mitted that the supply would prob
ably die out in course of two OF
three years. He said that addition
al gas would have to be supplied
this fall and that the buying of the
Nohican company offered a solution
OF the problem.
/ DAILY says that the property OF this
company certainly will not be re.
lied upon to supply cleveland. be
cause the feds now developed could
not possibly do it.
THE public utilities commission
will have to work fast and so will
we II anything is to be started on
new main to West Virginia this
fall" said Daily. eve hope that a
good start can be made this fall
but i: is getting late and it is a.
most impossible for US TO work to
yeadvantage during the winter
months. If a severe cary winter
comes we will be greatly delayed"

BOUGHT HIS SOCKS IN
SCOTLAND.

Governor Wilson is a free
trader and is so recognized by
the rank and file of his party.
The truth is emphasize5 q little
by the fact that he buys his
socks in Scotland.
His apparent indifference 70
the condition of American
laborers may be due to his abil-
ity to get along without being
obliged to eat bread in the sweat
OF his brow.
He has been extremely 3ortu-
nate In this respect. His auto
crazy has been deeply tinged
with arlstocracy during his en-
tire career as an educator and
dabbler in literature.
He has neither by personal en-
perience or observation ac-
quainted himself with the actual
struggles and needs OF the ordi-
nary wage Garner.
During the trying times that
this country was under the
blight of free trade in 1894, 's5
and 90. Woodrow Wilson was
enjoying a liberal income that
was in no degree affected by the
deplorable conditions surround
Ing the laborers In this country.
Mr.. Wilson is not to be con-
demned for his good fortune.
On the contrary, We should be
disposed to congratulate him,
but in self interest the less for
tunate should protect themselves
against the enforcement OF his
tariff theories and policy, trial
of which has been given more
than once with deplorable effect
upon the industrial life of this
country.-Trenton Gazette.

Women Work at Night to Finance
Roosevelt Campaign.
AWFUL FACTORY CONDITIONS
New York State Investigating Commit
tee Found Pale, Worn Women Work
ing In Irvine Manufacturing Con-
Germ Owned by the international
Harvester Company.

Awful conditions have been found
by the state factory investigating COM
mittee of New York in the mills of the
Osborne Irvine company, No. 8. at Au-
burn, n. Y, owned by the Interna-
tional Harvester company, OF which
George W. Perkins. chief financial
hacker of Theodore Roosevelt In his
scheme to ruin the Republican party.
is director.
The appearance Of the women
workers in this plant" said member
of the committee, was very dis
heartening. They we're worn and
pale and their clothes, faces and
hands were covered with oil and hemp
cloth. Many OF these women, SO called,
are only children In age and they have
to lug huge piles of hemp. weighing
$50 pounds each, across the floor, the
load in come cases being bigger than
the women themselves. In the spin
ming room. where women are employ
ed alone, to the exclusion of men, who
would have to receive higher wages,
the clatter OF machinery is SO fright
full that voice below shrek cannot
be heard. The rooms are dark, though
for no necessary cause. and no at
tempt 10 made to remove the dust,
which Is kept in constant motion by
the line ehaftings despite the require.
ments of the law. This dust is
breathed continuously by the women,
many OF whom complain of chronic
coughs and colds. The dust and dirt
are SO thick upon the clothes Of the
girls that at the noon hour-which In
many cases consists of but a few
mHnutes-and at the close of the days
or nights labor. the girls have to
sweep each other clean with brooms.
1t is further stated that the custom
of working the women all night is
permanent, married women being So
lected for night work, their hours be-
ing from shutdown until $50 O'Clock
in the morning. OF 400 women EN-.
ployed in the mills, 200 work all night
When George ". Perkins was asked
by New York Times reporter for an
explanation OF the conditions in an
establishment of which he is one OF
the directors, he made, in part, the
following remarkable reply: This
night work has been rendered neces.
sary largely because of the govern,
ment's perfectly unreasonable attitude
toward large corporations, which has
made 1t impossible for managers OF
large concerns TO know whether they
were on foot or horseback, whether
they could expand their plans to keep
up With increasing demands or not"
The late Mark Twain in his bright.
est moments never uttered anything
more grimly humorous than the fore.
going explanation by George W. Per
kins of why the company OF which he
is q director is working women all
night under the frightful conditions
disclosed by the New York state fac.

to millions of Republicans throughout
the United States to know where the
money comes from to finance Theo.

FAIRNESS TOWARD NEGROES
Tafes Attorney General Stands for tho
"scuare Deal"

iaIrs attorney General Stands for the
"square Deal"
Attorney General Wickersham re-
fleets the broad American spirit OF
himself and his chief, President Taft,
in his splendid fight against the
dropping from membership in the
American Bar association of his able
colored assistant, William n. Lewis,
It is needless TO say that every sup
porter of Woodrow Wilson and every
sympathizer with Theodore Roosevelt
in his refusal to recognize the citizen
ship of the southern negro, is opposed
to Mr.. Wickersham in his battle for
equal rights and fair treatment for
colored Americans.
The action OF the executive commit
tee Of the Bar association in reyok-
ing the election OF three colored mem
bers, gentlemen Of spotless profession
al standing and excellent personal
character, by their local committees,
was outrageously. cruelty unjust and
ought to be repudiated by every
reputable lawyer in the United States.
1t was a concession to that southern
Democratic prejudice which seeks to
crush the spirit of manly aspiration
in the negro's breast and to tolerate
him only as laborsr on the planta-
tons and for the households where his
ancestors were slaves. 1t amounts to
an attempt to nullify the constitution
OF the United States, as amended after
the rebellion, by men whose sacred
obligation and welcome duty It should
be to support that instrument in their
every act as lawyers and as citizens.
In their resolute backing Of Assist
ant Attorney General Lewis against
the assaults of rank Bourbonism and
racial prejudice, President Taft and
his attorney general have the god
speed Of every American who believes
in the principles for which Lincoln
died, and who is determined that the
sacrifices which the nation offered up
on the altar of freedom and equal
rights for all shall not have been made
In vain.
