DEMOCRATIC TICKET
THE PRESIDENTS HYPOTHETICAL
PLEA FOR THE FARMER

Mr.. Taft is painfully concern
ed because the Farmer has to pay
high rates of INTEREST on borrow
ed money.
He, the President drops into
''fggers.
He-that's the President says
that the Farmer had to pay $510.-
900, 600, last year, on a loan of
Sc, GAO. 900. 900.
He-the President, you know
declares this thing has got to
stop, and he calls loudly on the
governors of the States to assist
him in stopping it.
When Bill Taft and the COVER
nors go to work to stop this pill
lage of the Farmer, want a
good seat, on the Grand stand,
to see the spectacle.
Am willing to trade off one of
my fayorite old mouse colored
mare mules for ticket of admis-
sion to that circus.
mean the circus of Bill Taft
and the governors rescuing the
Foxy Farmer from the clutches
of the bankers, and then lending
the Foxy Farmer money at 3 IL
per cent.
It's just before the election,
don't you know, and lots of fell
lows are painting the sky rich
peculiar blue, with get-me-votes
promises.
On the day after the election,
those well worked promises will
be the soap bubbles of day be-
fore yesterday, or of week be-
fore last.
Why, plague take 1t all! ism
this the same fat, smiling hypo-
critic who promised a downward
revision of the Tariff, just tefore
the election of 1908?
Isn't he the man that got elect
ed on that promise, and t h n
shamelessly broke it?
Isn't he the man who praised
the Senator whose internal tariff
bill put a tax of 165 per cent on
the poor mans blanket, an a tax
of $50 per cent on his oyercoat?
Isn't he the President who
placed himself as the impossible
barrier between tine Farmer and
the Relief that was offered in
the Farmers Free-list bill?
Isn't Taft the man who by his
persistent vetoes prevented the
Farmer from getting cheaper

clot hes, cheaper agriculture i'm
plements, cheaper lumber, cheap
err hats and shoes, cheaper wire
and nails and wagons and now
erS and reapers and rakes?
The Farmer had to borrow FIVE
billion dollars, md he?
Why did the Farmer have to
borrow five billion dollars?
Largely because OF the Damn
able Payne Aldrich Tariff which
increased so enormously the price
OF everything that the farmer
has to buy.
This same Mr.. Taft declared in
his Winona speech that the Payne
Aldrich bill of 1910 was the best
tariff this country has ever
known.
In another speech. he declared
that the woollen schedule, which
compels the Farmer to pay 100
per cent. tax on woollen clothing
165 per cent on his blanket, and
$50 per cent. on cheap over
coat, is indefensible. -
Yet. this same Taft defended
the indfensible with his veto,
when the Democrats and the In
surgents tried to give the Farm
er some relief.
1t is the Tariff which not only
robs the Farmer in the markets
of the United States. but robs
him in the foreign market.
How does the Tariff rob the
Farmer at home?
By giving Birth and protect
ion to the trusts, which fixes the
price of what the farmer buys,
and also of what he sells.
The Farmer takes what the
buyer offers, and pays what the
seller demands.
And the Tariff holds him in the
trap while buyer and seller pluck
him, to the last available feather.
How does the same Tariff rob
him abroad?
By limiting the market for his
products. The true statesman
and the true farmer, is he who
tries to change the laws so that
there would be no necessity for
the agricultural class to borrow
so much money.
Lower the tariff duties, put
lumber and the necessaries of
life on the free list, abolish legis-
lation which enables the foreign
competitor of our farmers to buy
all kinds of necessaries from the
American manufacturer, cheap
er than our farmers can do it,
do this, and our farmers will be
where they were before the civil
War.
They will pay out of debt and
stay out.
The Farmer aosn't want any
body's charity: what he wants
is justice. Jeffersonian.

WHY NOT PATRIOTS IN WAx7
Suggestion for Exhibitions Of Effislss
Comes From tho shows Common
In England.

How many school children would
recognize historical personages, other
than perhaps Washington and Lincoln.
If they met them face to. face7 A
South Side matron recently returned
from a tour Of the British Isles, was
speaking. She said:
In Great Britain every little town
has its wax works show. It is q mys-
terry to me why we Americans with
our far-famed business sagacity have
30 long neglected 30 fertile q neld.
They are as common and as cheap
there as moving picture shows are
here. In these places all the famous
characters Of history and literature
are depicted. A school child Is able to
go into a wax works show and get an
accurate idea Of the costumes, faces
and figures Of any particular time.
How many Of US can get such an idea
from a pile Of clothing lying ticketed
on museum shelf?
Nine. Tussaud's wax works In Lon

Guy narbin
democratic Nominee for
Constable of Elko Township
Wife Who--Naus.

The worst thing that the bad fairy
could wish upon a man is nagging,
fault-finding wife. The most sayory
Of the dishes prepared by her hand
tastes fiat and stale If served up with
the sauce Of her complaints, and the
cosiest of homes is a place Of unrest
If 1t is the stcrehouse Of her recrim-
nations. Even II there is just cause
for Jealousy, nagging is an aggrava-
ton rather than cure.
1t breeds the spirit of antagonism
and the case Of the injured party is
hurt rather than helped.
The only safe cure for straying af-
fecttons is to make oneself so attrac-
tive, so agreeable, that che desired
love and attention is irresistibly held
to its original moorings. Sometimes
sudden evidence of Indifference
awakes the errant one to the fact that
the straying may be mutual. Some
times renewed outbursts Of affection,
OF care and interest, is the tonic of
weakened ardor. Sometimes splendid
results are accomplished by wearing
smart and becoming clothes and
brushing up the wits and vivacity.

MOST PATIENT OF THIEVES

Out at the Coliseum skating rink
there has been discovered evidence
OF one OF the most patient and hope

two ago he undertook to steal q pair
OF skates piecemeal, but the evi.
dence OF his work was discovered and
he remains in possession of three
wheels, bolt or two and couple
OF pieces OF metal that can be OF no
earthly use without the remaining
sections Of the skates, which remain
In possession Of the management. To
compensate for the loss the Coliseum
stands In possession of one felt hat,
with the name Of the dealer cut out
OF the band and gap where the
owners initials were carried.
To evade the regulations of the
rink the optimistic crook was Obliged
to carry an extra hat or cap and q
set Of tools which enabled him to
take the skates apart. The unpur-
loined portions were discovered by q
special policeman In an unfreouented

CHIEF EVENT OF THE DAY
Passing Of the Milk Train, Not Charge
OF Bull, Caused Young Farm
er'S Haste.

In rural New England the passing
OF q railway train is still q matter
OF public interest quite astonishing to
visitors from the city. Last summer
three ladies from Boston hired an
abandoned farmhouse In northern
New England, in region devoted to
dairying. One warm August day they
walked through the rocky pastures
to farmhouse three miles distant,
In quest OF two weeks supply of
butter.
On learning that they had come
through the fields, the farmers wife
exclaimed: "Why, you can't bo back
that way alone! Our bulls out there
IN the back lot, and only day fore
y1stday he treed my son-in-law on q
stun for two hours. I'll have him go
home with you."
With some misgivings on the part
OF the women, the little procession
started back under the guidance Of
the young man. the ladies carrying
the butter. All went we'll till they
had gone about a quarter Of a mile,
when the escort suddenly called, ex-
citedly: "Come on!" and started on
a run toward higher ground.
Thinking that they understood the
occasion of his activity, they needed
no urging to follow him. On and on
they sped, throwing away their but
ter as an impediment to their speed.
Finally, bathed in perspiration and
gasping for breath, they sank e1-
hausted on rocky ledge whittier
their guide had led them.
Standing just above, he waved his
arm In dramatic gesture toward the
valley below, where a freight train
could be seen crawling slowly out
from between a cleft in the hills, and
shouted: There she goes-the milk
train!"-Youth's Companion.
