No Tainted Money for Wilson

The announcement is made that the
Steel Trust is backing Colonel Roose-
velt Other trusts are also contribu
ting to his campaign. .but the bulk of
the trust money goes to Taft who sign
ed the Payne-Aldrich robber tariff bill,
and vetoed every effort of the Demo-
cratic Conrgess to mitigate in some de
gree its hardshlps.
There are no trusts, corporations or
other doubtful concerns behind Cover
nor Wilson, who has positively refused
to accept any of their gifts. He is de-
pending alone on the people to finance
his campaign and he is not reckoning
In vain. When he is elected President,
as he seems sure to be and will if ev-
cry Democrat does his duty, he will
take the office free from any entan-
clement and be the president of the
whole people. The prospect of such a
change should fire the heart of every
patriotic man to help in the accom-
plishment of so glorious an end.

A Striking Comparison.

The difference in the cost of living
in Detroit and just across the river in
Windsor Canada supplies US with a
striking definition of the real meaning
of excessive tariff rates. Prices of
foodstuffs wearing ssapparel and rents
average from 20 to 25 per cent more in
Detroit than in Windsor And between
the two cities there are but 1861 feet
Of water-and the Payne -Aldrich tariff
bill, The Detroit man is protected, +"
the Windsor man is not. By not being
protected. the Windsor man pays SIS
for suit of clothes sthat the Detroit
man will find it dicffiult to duplicate in
quality.for $25. What the Windsor man
is escaping in this instance is the Aid
rich-Payne tax of A cents pound on
good all wool clothes, and the addition
al tax of 60 per cent on the value of
the goods. 4 a.

Misleading.

, The Republican campaign book con-
tains the remarkable statemet attrib-
uted to Theodore Justice, of Pennsyl-
vania, that "In the textile trade the
protective benefits Of the tariff nearly
all GO to labor. The inaccuracy of this
statement was abundantly demonstrate
ed by the revelations incident to the
Lawrence strike. In confirmation of
this writer in the Atlantic Magazine
shows from the records that "a yard
of mems iworsted suiting was fo1nd
by the tariffIboard to cost an American
mill $1.71 to place on the market. The
rate of payment to the weaver on his
cloth was ascertained to be only cents
a yard. but the present tariff duty
is S1.02" This is but one fact of
many. Another equally impressive is
that while the American Woolen COM
pany is decairing dividends upon mil
lions of dollars of water. half the en-
ployes of that CORPORATION receive less
than $40 week in wages.

Governor Marshall.

1t was real inspiration that caused
the Baltimore Convention to place
Governor Thomas R. Marshall on the
ticket with Governor Wilson. AS Gov
ernor Of Indiana he has demonstrated
his capacity and his public expressions
befure and after the nomination stamp
him as a man that should be honored
and trusted. The Governor is a firm
believer that any system of govern
ment which enables one man to take
advantage of another is not system
under which a Democratic condition of
life cant hrive. and his life time effort
has been for a.return to first princi-
Piles.

A Man of Men.

Measured insevery way and judged
from every standard. Governor Wilson
completely fills the bill of a man who
should occupy the high office of Presi-
dent of the greatest nation on earth.
Capbale, scholarly. courageous, safe
and patriotic, he will make an ideal
president whose single aim will be to
obey the constitution and do the great
est number. His majority should be
SO large that it will serve lasting no.
tice to the interests that this is the
government.of theIpeople. by the peo.
pie. and not of the people by the
trusts.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
The Clay Industry.

The state of Ohio is still leading the
country in the clay industry. The val
ue Of its clay products for the year of
1911 amounted to about one fifth of
the total for the United States.
Pennsylvania, New jersey and Hi,
nois follow Ohio in the order named in
a bulletin issued by the United States
Geological Survey. The value of clay
products in Ohio was S32, 663, 895; IN
Pennsylvania, S2O,2iO.O33; in New
Jersey, SIS. .178.2 228; in Illinois, $l4.-
333.O11.
The production of all kinds of brick
in the United States in 1911 was more
than ten billions. The total production
of common brick was 8,475. 277, 900,
valued at S49,885, 262. Of this New
York contributed the largest amount,
1,143, 726, 900, valued { at S5.918, 2S6.
Illinois was second in output with
1,O74, 486, 900, but the product had the
rgeater value of $6.l2691l. No other
state reached the billion mark. The
Geological Survey bulletin does moi
give the value of Kentucky's clay pro.
ducts. but in 1909 and 1910 Kentucky
was fourteenth in rank as compared
with other states, and the value of the
1910 production was 50, SGT, ,537. The
figures for 1911 should show a substan-
tial gain. as the clay industry is max
ing some progress in the State Ken
tCcky has a great variety of clays,
ranging from the most ordinary to the
most desirbaie kinds. A goud deal OF
clay is mined and shipped out of the
state and there are openings in many
localities for the establishment OF
profitable clay working industries.
Astounding in resources Of this kind
from the Mississippi River to the Big
Sandy the State should take a much
higher rank in the clay industry than
it now holds.
