EXPOSES THE TARIFF FRAUD
American company's Offer Of Steel
Rails to Manchester, England, 10
Illuminating.

Recently the city of Manchester,
England, wanted steel rails for its
roads. The contract was not large
one, but when it was advertised the
bidding for it was sharp and bitter.
Manchester ia in the iron and steel
district of England, and in position
to command the lowest price on the
domestic product.
When the bids were opened. how
ever, It was found that an American
concern. the Lorain Steel company Of
Johnstown, Pa. had made the lowest
offer. In round figures, the Lorain
company would sell for $4,000 what
its English rivals demanded $4,000
for.
The American company was pre-
pared to manufacture the rails, pay
freight and handling to the Atlantic
seaboard, pay freight and handling by
sea to England. and again pay freight
and handling to Manchester, and still
make q profit on it's sale at nearly
ten per cent. under the British price.
And yet, in the face of such show
ing a. this, the stand pat Republican
still maintains that the present tariff
on steel rails Is absolutely essential
% the prosperity of the industry IN
this country. The steel business is
still to him an infant industry, even
though it can go into the heart OF
Britain and win contracts in competi-
tion with hard.headed, close-calculat-
IND manufacturers Of the tight little
tale.

Trusts in New Jersey.

Col. Roosevelt was not 80 sick in the
Chicago hospital that he could not
indulge in his favorite form of cam
paigning telling half truths.
He instanced the fact that nothing
had been done in the administration of
Governor Wilson in New Jersey to
control the trusts there. That's true.
The trust laws in New Jersey are the
same now as when Woodrow Wilson
became governor less than two years
ago.
But the fault is not Governor
Wilson'S that this is so. In his
inaugural message he directed atten-
ton to the specific laws sheltering the
trusts and called upon the legislature
to change these laws. In October,
1911, he drew up the trust plank of the
Democratic state platform proposing
trust regulation. He tried as hard to
get suitable statutes regulative of the
trusts as man could try, yet he failed.
And why :? Because the Senate was
Republican and under the thumb of
the trusts and steadfastly refused
to assent to any change in the trust
laws.
Governor Wilson would have
proceeded against the Trusts if the
power were his, but present trust laws
give no state official power to
prosecute or propose dissolution of
trusts for breach of the law.
President Roosevelt's situation in
the nation was different. He was in
the White House seven and one-half
years, whereas Wilson has been
governor of New Jersey less than two
years. Col. Roosevelt had Congress
Republican in both branches back of
him, while Gov. Wilson had legis-
lature Democratic only in one branch,
to support him.
MIR. Roosevelt added nothing to
the antitrust law of this country,
but pulled it's fangs in denial that
the way to deal with offending trust
heads was to put them in Jail.
Senator LaFollette has put forth
the figures in proof of his assertion
that trust capitalization increased
during Theodore Roosevelt's admins
trations more rapidly than in any
other period in the nations history.
1t comes in poor grace from
Theodore Roosevelt to criticise
Woodrow Wilson for failing to do
what it was impossible for him to co,
and telling half truth about him.
1t comes in poorer grace for him,
feigning public virtue, to charge lack
of public virtue in another.
1t reminds of nothing so much as
the pot calling the kettle black. -Dnbu-

In this issue we present Meyer

special attention is directed. Mr..
Meyer is an int lligent looking young
man, oug to be elected and will if the
young men of the district rally to his
support as they should, Everyone who
voted for Murphy two years ago should
feel constrained to give Mr.. Meyer a
boost this year. 1t has become force
of habit for the electors of this district
to scratch Haugen and in this year
when conditions are so muddled and
the congressman is trying to ride the
two horses of the party going in op-
posite directions, thought to be an
easy matter to unhorse him and thus
effectually squelch his future political
ambitions. Lansing Journal.

He is an able representative of the young men
of the Fourth District.
He is an aggressvely progressive Democrat.
He is a practical creameryman and stocknan
and can be depended upon to look after the inter
ests of the dairymen and farmers of the district
He can do more in the next House, which will
certainly be democratic, in the way Of securing
appropriations and favorable legislation for his
district than congressman Haugen whose presi-
dental preference is shrouded in mystery and who
therefore will have no claim upon the Republican
or the Bull Moose Party.

MONTGOMERY WILL COLLECT EXHIBITS Chaffee Tells Arguments He Will Use to Attract
 Farmers

Secretary Frank P. Chaffee of the Alabama State Fair association Is com pletely saturated with arguments which he is preparing to expound to all visl- tors to the Jefferson county, Alabama, booth, to be displayed at the Chicago Land show the latter part of next month under his supervision. MT. Chaffee stated yesterday afternoon that J. S. Montgomery, under whose direc- ton the agricultural exhibits at the recent state fair were made, is now busy preparing and collecting material for the exhibit in Chicago. Mir Mont gomery, MT. Chaffee said will take this material to Chicago and arrange 1t and to Chicago at the opening of the land show and take charge of the booth. In addition to the agricultural display, which will be the empha sized part of the exhibit, there will be lumber and
 mineral display.
 The principal arguments I am going to put up to the farmers of the north, 5 stated MT. Chaffee, will concern the climatic and general agricultural ad vantages of the lands of Alabama over Ohio, Illinois. Indiana and other north .
 ern states, When you tell a man livins in the territory of the middle west and northen section of the United States
 most anywnere above the Ohio river | that he has only about So days in which | to grow his crops, the time between the last killing frost in the spring and the | first killing frost of the fall, and that in Alabama he has 26S days between the two frosts. during which he can raise
 on an average three separate crops 1 each season by the proper methods of | crop otation, ne becomes very much in terested. When you can bring that
 same man to Alabama and prove to him | that what ou say is the truth, the
 chances tha he will buy farm and l locate heret re very great.
 l My connection with the weather bu-
 reau for many years and also with the agricultural department of the state give me much knowledge of these agri-
 cultural anl climatic conditions. By 1 following this first argument up with
 statements that the rainfall is great
