How long are the American

LAWRENCE VS. FOREIGN WAGES.
Here is a conn., arson of full
time wages paid in England, and
at Lawrence. Mass, u. S. A.,
which fails to substantiate the
high protectionist theory that it
is necessary to place high tar
i # on wooden clothing in order to
protect American workers from
what American trust magnates
delight 10 desc. ibe as foreign
pauper labor" The figures
show that this so called foreign
pauper labor" receives IS much
wages as the all-but-pauper
workers at Lawrence, while
the cost of living is much higher
here than in England.
In England, spinners receive
from $685. to SIP per week. In
Lawrence they are paid from
SIS. 10 to $7.70 per week.
English weavers receive $2.75
per week for attending looms;
the rate in Lawrence is SO cents.
In the English mills the aver
age pay of women workers of
all classes is SIS Fer week; the
average in Lawrence for the
same class of work is $50.
The English mill workers who
winds the spun wool receive SO
per week; his brother twiner in
Lawrence gets a dollar a week
less.
The American Woolen Trust
wants protectionfor the sole
reason that through protection it
is saved from foreign competi-
ton, and thus left free to gouge
the American consumer at will.
The workmen in the trust mills,
in the meantime, are given no
share of these enormous profits
which the trusts take from the
people.

Democrats Pass Free Sugar Bill.

Washington, March 16. BY a
vote of 1913 to 103 the House late
yesterday passed a bill putting
sugar on the free list, which
would decrease the price Of sug-
ar to the consumer nearly two
cents pound. 1t is feared how
ever that the bill will be killed
by the Republicans in the Senate.
Members of Congress from Loui-
siana and Colorado voted against
the bill.
With only seven Democrats
voting against It ..and "a Repub-
licans for it, the bill placing sug-
ar on the free list was passed by
the House. The adverse Demo
cratic votes came from the rep
resentatives of cane and beet
sugar districts Of Louisiana and
Colorado. One Of the Louisiana
representatives, Watkins, lined
up on the affirmative.
Most of the Republicans who
supported the measure were pro-
gressives. Five regular Repub-
licans surprised everyone by
turning up in favor of free sug
ar. They were Prince and Nc.
Kenzie, Of Illinois; Rowland, OF
Ohio; Dyer, of Missouri, anc
Sells, of Tennessee.
A notable feature Of the occa
sion was the disclosure that the
Dutch standard has at last beer
dropped, even by the standpat
tiers. At the closh of the debate
Payne offered a motion to recon
NIT the bill to the ways anc
means committee with instruc
tons to eliminate the Dutcl
standard and the differenti.l OF
refined and bring in a bill impo
sing a duty on sugar that shoulc

countries, this difference to b,

Historic Maine Rests
at the Bottom OF the Sea

HAVANA, March 16. Under
lowering skies and in a heavy
tumbling sen, the old battleship
Maine, resurrected after fourteen
years burial in HAVANA harbor,
today plunged with her colors
flying to her everlasting resting
place, 600 fathoms deep in the
sapphire waters Of the gulf.
After imposing ceremonies in
the morning, which ended with
the formal transfer of the bodies
of the heroic dead, the collins
were taken aboard the armored
cruiser North Carolina, where
they were deposited on the quar-
ter deck, completely covered by
a great mound of floral tributes,
under a guard Of honor composed
of marines.
Soon after two o'clock the navy
tug, Osceola, aboard of which
were the United States minister,
Arthur M. Beaupre, and the staff
of the legation. Brigadier Gener-
al Bixby, Colonel William M.
Black, Lieutenant Colonel Mason
M. Patrick and Major Harley B.
Ferguson, constituting the Maine
commission, passed lines to the
stern end of the wedge-shaped
wreck and started seaward.
CROSSED THE LIMIT LINE.
At4:35 O'Clock the three mile
limit had been crossed. Half an
hour was given laggard of the
fleet to arrive. Then the Ameri-
can crdis- RS took up a position To
the e sLward Of the wreck; the
Cuban warship5 moved to the
westward and the accompanying
vessels were CROPPED to the north
and south.
Meanwhile the wreckinV crew
went aboard the hulk and made
ready to carry out the arrange
ments for the sinking. Precisel,

Income Tax Bill Passes House

The Democratic excise tax bill
to virtually tax everybody's in
come wien it is So, 600 or more a
year pass, d the house last week
by vote Of $50 to 10. The Dem
ocrats voted sol.dly for it and
carried 80 Republicans with them.
Forty regular Republicans were
the opposition.
The bill now goes to the senate
where its fate is a guess. Many
senator's today declared that if
upon an.lysis they found the
house measure would tax Ill poo
'le alike, they would support it.
AlmoSta,l ] n ociatic Senator
are expected to vote for it.
Democratic Leader Martin ex-
pressed the hope that the Demo-
cratic senator's and the progress
sive Republicans might put the
bill through. Republican leaders
are depending on the Presidents
ve,o to check revenue revision
bills from the house.
The excise bill, though pri-
marily intend to produce any
where from $20,0OO.OOO to S6O.-
GOO, 1000 year to make up for
the losses on free sugar, is also
expected to be one of the offsets
to general pension legislation
which seems sure to be enacted.
Democratic Leader Under
wood held his majority intact
through the passage of the bill.
Not one Democratic vote was
cast against it AMI the measure
was pissed exactly as f amed.

His amendment was offered to
the only tariff bill now pending
in the Senate, which is the steel
tariff bill. AS the Republican
majority in the Senate probably
will not pass this bill Congress
man Davis has introduced Sena-

Congressman Hamilton has in
troduced a bill providing for the
payment of $40, 600 to Felix Nor
gan. Mr.. Morgan was employ
ed by the United States govern
ment during the construction of
lock and dam No. 5 in the Little
Kanawha River. While en-
gagged in blasting under the di-
rection of a representative of the
government he was the victim of
an accident which resulted in the
loss of 10th his eyes. He has
been unable to work since that
time and as the accident was the
result of the orders given him by
the government, which he obeyed
under protest, Mr.. Hamilton is
of the opinion that he should and
will be paid by the government
for the loss Of his sight.

Congressman Hamilton has

able candidates. Some Of item
have served the people as Sheriff
before with honor and respect,
but it is our opinion that they
will be stronger in the future by
staying out Of the race at pres
ent. To be explicit we do not
think that any man or set OF
men own the people of Calhoun
county and have no right to ex-
pect to be continued in office
term after term. This is the
one time in the history of our
Country and Nation when the
Democratic party should present
a solid front, and in this county.
it can be done if we will use our
better judgment, and not allow
a few chronic politicians and
office seekers to dictate the max
ing of the ticket.
There are men in the county,
plenty of them, to fill all the
Offices of the county and are
capable of discharging the du-
ties Of the same, men who have
never asked the suffrage of the
people in the past, and they have
always been found at their post
when the battle waged hottest,
1t is to them the Democracy of
Calhoun owes much and they
should be given chance. AS to
the Office of Sheriff the name of
A. H. Jackson is a good sugges
ton; for Member County Court.
