the farmers been mistaken through
all these years? They have not. has
protection been of no value to them
1t certainly has.
All history and all fact dispute the
academic free trade contention that
the farmer has no share In the bens-
fits of protection. In every period OF
industrial depression, resulting from
the destruction of the tarin duties De-
low the protective point. the farmers
Of this country have been heavy
losers, because of diminished demand
and lower prices for their products.
In the most recent period OF Demo
cratic free trade legislation-1S9i-97-
the farmers of the United States lost
fully five billion dollars in reduced
prices Of farm products. and dimin-
ished values of farm property. In
every period of restored protection
the farmers have reaped the benefits
of a greater demand and increased
prices. There has been no exception
to the rule of prosperity for American
farmers. when American labor Is fuliy
employed.
Here are some proofs of that fact.
In a recent statement by Senator
Smoot printed in the Congressional
Record Of August 26. 1912. 1t is shown
that in December, 1896. after two
years of free trade tariff revision un-
der the Wilson law of 1894. the price
of corn was twenty-three cents
bushel. while in December. 1911. after
fourteen years of restored protection
the price of corn was sixty-nine cents
a bushel; or an advance over 1896 OF
200 per cent.
Using 1896 as the basis of COM
| parison with December. 1911. 1t Is
| found that under a protective tarin:
Corn advanced 200 per cent.
Wheat advanced 81 per cent.
Cotton advanced 20 per cent.
Oats advanced 1866 per cent.
Rye advanced 1877 per cent.
Barley advanced 3os per cent
| Hay advanced 13e per cent.
Hops advanced 2s6 per cent.
| Potatoes advanced 282 per cent.
FIaxseed advanced .14s per cent.
Fat cattle advanced e2 per cent.
| Fat hogs advanced e6 per cent.
Dairy butter advanced Sc per cent.
EGGS advanced 90 per cent.
While the price Of farm products
has increased, the price of articles
which the farmer purchases has not
increased in proportion. He can buy
more today with the products OF his
farm than he could in 1896. For ex

Professor Wilson and other Demo-
cratic speakers and writer's assert
what is absolutely untrue when they
say. that the protective tariff robs.
and in no way benefits the American
farmer. AS a matter of fact. there
is probably no class of American pro-
ducers whose share in the benefits of
protection in the past fifteen years,
has been SO great as the share OF
the American farmer.
II the farmers rightly understand
their interests, they will vote against
the party of free trade. They will cast
six million votes for President Taft
and Vice President Sherman and a
continuation of the Republican policy

JOB HUNTING ARMY

School Boys Hunting for
Work. College Boys to
Follow in Their Wake.

Mister, have just finished school
for the summer and | would like to
ask if you have a position for me-"
This question or others similar are
being put to merchants, office manag
ers, shop foremen and others, by about
800 or 400 youths who have either
graduated from the high school or
have ceased their school work until
next September.
The old maxim, The early bird
catches the worm" was followed by a
large number and the choice posi-
tions" have already been handed out.
Those who did not see the advantage
of filing their applications for work
early have ascertained, TO their sor-
row, that only the hard" jobs remain.
When Earlham college work is over
for this term. another large number of
students will be turned loose upon en-
ployers in this city. Most of the col
lege students. however, will break for
the shops, as they know that it is mon
ey they want and the only way TO make
good" money or the most money in a
short vacation-is to accept a job
where there is hard work
A number of shops have already
been literally swamped with students
both from the college and the high

MAN STRUCK WOMAN;
GIVEN HEAVY FINE

Ollie Williams, 242 South Second
street, was fined SIS and costs this
morning by Mayor Zimmerman in po-
lice court on the charge Of assault and
battery on Mrs Lulu Kelley. The fight
is said to have taken place at the Will
liams home last evening when Mrs.
Kelley came to this city to accompany
her mother, Mrs. Cyrena Henderson,,
to Salina, Ohio Mrs. Henderson, has
been employed as housekeeper by
Williams for some time, coming to this
city with him from Muncie where he
alleged he had once had trouble with
her. He grew angry when the daugh-
ter announced she was going to take
Mrs. Henderson, back to Salina, where
her husband resides, and struck Mrs.
Kelley in the neck. She ran to the
police station and had the man arrest
ed. Patrolman Edwards answering the
call
Williams denied striking the woman
and attempted to offer evidence to
prove that the regulations of the two
women were bad, but the mayor re-
fused to hear the evidence. Williams
stated he was through with Mrs. Hen.
dershot and that the quicker she was
taken from his home the better. Wit
nesses coroborated Mrs. Kelley's story
of the affair.

lions struggled on for thirty-three COM
secutive ballots.
For thirty-three ballots Grant never
got more than 500 votes. Blaine never
more than ss5. Garfield never rose
above two votes in all.
The thirty-fourth ballot began-the
second week of the convention and
the delegates, worn out with the strug-
gle prayed for compromise candi-
date. II was here that Garfield began
TO display strength. He was indeed
the only logical compromise candidate
though they favored Senator Windon
of Minnesota. His landslide started
when Windows delegates met In eau
Gus a minority deciding 10 vote for
Garfield in preference to their candi-
date.
At the end of the thirty-fourth bal
lot Garfield's vote registered IL in
stead of one. Grant got 81 and Blaine
275. Still no one had reached the SIS
necessary TO nomination.
They voted again. This time Garfield
jumped 10 fifty votes, Grant got s13.

PUPS WILL Be SHOT
Unless MuzZled and Accom-
panied by Owner.

All unmuzzled dogs found running
on the streets by the police will be
shot
This long-heralded order was issued
by Mayor Zimmerman this morning in
police court to Chief of Police Gormon.
The mayor stated that a state law
provides that all dogs running at large
without owners may be killed. He
says he will enforce this law. Dr.
Davis, when he issued his last order
asked the police department not to
kill dogs found unmuZzled, but to re-
port the owners name, that legal
steps might be taken, but tine mayor
states this request will be overridden
and the dogs killed. He believes this
will settle the troublesome question of
who let the dog out"
The matter was brought to a focus
in the case of the State VS.. Roscoe
Gibbons.
Patrolman Westenberg filed an affi-
davit against Gibbons Gibbons testi-
fled that he had attempted to COM
ply with the order and that his dog
had been confined in the house, eX-
cept on one particular occasion when
1t got out of the house and ran to the
street Following this explanation Pro-
secutor Ladd stated he did not be-
lieve the purpose of the order was to
prosecute, and the mayor being of the
same opinion, Gibbons was found not
guilty. The mayor then issued his or
der to the police, which will take eff
/ feet at once.

There Are Many Similar Fea-
lures in the Grant and
Roosevelt Campaigns -
Historic Struggle.

Every political student who has
delved into those musty archives
wherein are kept the records that tell
of great political battles past and gone
must be struck with the similarity of
the pre-convention fight waged by
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. in this
year of our Lord 1912, and that con-
Quoted by General Ulysses 5. Grant,
exactly thirty-two years ago.
Grants campaign was for the Re-
publican nomination for the third term
after a lapse of four years-so is
Roosevelt's.
Grant was a soldier of achievement
as is the hero OF San Juan Hill.
Grants campaign followed a world
girdling trip. during which he received
the welcome and praise of strange SOW
ereigns and peoples-Roosevelt has
but lately returned from his African
hunt and a triumphant tour through
Europe.
And Grant was the popular idol of
the people-a claim made for Colonel
Roosevelt by his supporters.
But not alone are the two campaigns
similar in these particulars. The con-
struction of the Grant and Roosevelt
campaigns has many points in com
mon. for Grant was opposed by Blaine
even as Roosevelt is opposed by
Taft.
The fight in the convention hall was
one of the bitterest ever fought in the
annals of Republican party history.
The convention convened in Chica-
go on June .. 1880. with over 10000
spectators lining in the galleries TO
watch the battle royal. And for over
week the Blaine and Grant forces
battled together before Garfield, a
dark horse. won the nomination.
Conklin opened the nominations by
presenting the name of Grant. and he
did it with an imperial gradueur and
with a degree of eloquence that was
| impressive. Had he been as discreet
as he was eloquent. his speech would
have been a perfect exhibition of i'm
pressive oratory, but Conklin, inspired
by his love of Grant, antagoniZed the
Blaine delegates by his pungent sat
| ire anent the Blaine cohorts who dis
regarded their instructions to vote as
unit for Grant.
He referred to Grant as candidate
without patronage" without ennis
saries, without committees, without
bureaus, without telegraph wires run
ming from his house to this convention
hall, or running from his house any
where" His speech, however. left
Grant weaker instead of stronger.
Following Conklin's speech fol
Grant, and Garfield's speech for Sher
man. the name of Blaine was present
ed by Joy. Joys advocacy of Blaine
was tame and disappointing, beside
the mastery orations of Conklin and
Garfield. But Blaine's candidates were
strong, and were firm in their convic
ton of ultimate victory.
The balloting began. Three hundred
and seventy-eight votes were neces
sary for a choice. On the very frs
ballot Grant received 304 votes, while
Blaine was given 2s4. Sherman got SO
Garfield himself got one vote on the
second ballot. Blaine lost two vote:

PARIS, June 19.-Nearly 200 French
workers are threatened with idleness
if the general mercantile strike called
for today by the Federation of Sea-
men is effective. The general opinion
here is that the strike will not be gen.
eral because of precautions taken by
the government to continue the mail
service and to man merchant ships
with marines. However. if the strike
should be general in addition to an
army of workmen made idle. over
1000 ships would be laid up and until
