great mass OF the small dealers
and the workingmen and women
suffer bitterly.
It is calculated that while
ten Italians lose by protection,
only one stands any chance OF
gaining. He does not always
gain, for the country does not
progress. The interests OF
Italy are sacrificed to the one
in ten.
In other words, excessive
tariffs increased the cost Of
living to the Italian people just
as the Payne-Aldrich law is
increasing the cost of living il
the United States.
Is ii any wonder that the

Both Are Right.

Theodore Roosevelt, candidate
for a third term as president,
said recently: "Taft now
represents the bosses, and the
Republican party is composed
of them and the vested inter
ests of the country"
Ard President Taft said
Roosevelt is not a Republican,
but represents a one-man party
whose chief advisers are the
harvester and steel trust mag
mates"
Senator LaFollette of Wis
cons:n, also a Republican, says
both Taft and Roosevelt are
telling the truth about each
other. And LaFollette has
had enough experience with
both Messrs. Taft and Roose-
welt to know what he is talking
about.
The answer is; WIN WITH
WILSON.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1912-10-04

the writer learned at first hand
some Of the reasons why our
protectionists never say, Look
at Italy"
Italy puts heavy duties on
both agricultural and manufac-
tured imports.
She pays hcr people exceed
inely low wages. She charges
tlem very high prices for the
necessities o. life. They emf
CRATE in large numbers.
To understand the situation
clearly we must 20 back to 1887.
About that time a violent rev
olution in the system of Italian
customs was brought about. A
powerful political group of
textile manufacturers joined
forces for their own ends with
a pow erful political group of
large landowners. Tariffs were
heavily increased. But not on
everything. That powerful band
of textile manufacturers took
care that lesser manufacturers,
who made articles needed in the
textile factories, were not en-
abled to put up their prices.
Hand in hand with the pow
erful manufacturers the big
landowners came out ''for a
slice Of the tariff pie" In order
that they should be sufficiently
compensated for being in poll
ties. the land owners had a
heavy tax placed on wheat. In
Italy it is only the big land
owners who grow wheat. Three
out of every four landowners in
Italy ave ros5essors of small
properties, c~ultivating fruit
for vine. They have to buy a
considerable part Of the wheat
they eat. SO it happened thai
where one large farmer got big
ger Profits, three small fruit
farmers got hit. That is the
way protection invariably
works out. What is one mans
protection is another mans poi
son.
Hank, however, this further
result of the Italian tax on
wheat: Millions of Italians
never eat wheat bread, except
in cases of illness or on special
festivals. They make a bread
maize In this and in other
respects the standard of living
of the Italian people is very
low, because prices are too high.
An enOrn' us fiscal and pro-
tective tax was also put upon
suga. Th> prices rose so
high that Italian farmers watch
ed their "ordUges, lemons, peach
es, and othcr products of a
warm and generous sun rot on
thti trees t. order that the 33
manufacturers of the sugar
syndicate might levy upon con
sumers a yearly tribute"
Far and away the chief Of
the Italian industries are silk
reeling ard silk throwing. These
industries have been seriously
hampered by protection. And
Italy is the home of the silk
worm.
One of the chief troubles OF
Italy is that the general rise
in prices has so greatly lessened

Senator Clapp Testifies.

Senator Moses E. Clapp, Of
Minnesota, says:
"You will hear it said con-
stantly, with reference to
something on which the price
has been answered, 20, that
isn't in the tariff at all. That
increase has nothing to do with
the tariff. But the fact is
that the tariff reaches all along
the Inc. You can't raise the
cost Of liveiDg to a man who is
producing something to sell
without forcing that man to
raise correspondingly the price
Of what he has to sell"

Divorce the Philippines.

One tremendous expense now
being borne by American tax
payers that will be lifted IN
the event of the election of a
Democratic president and Dem
ocratic House is the cost of
governing the Philippine Is
!unis, which is being done against
the desire of 95 per cent of
the FilipinO people. Ten years
ago Senator doar stated in the
senate that up to hat time the
cost mad been $500. 0G0, 900. Since
then we have kept in those
Islands an average of 1927
troois. 1t cost the govern
mena 81 500 annually TO main
tain each soldier. The cost alone
Of maintaining the military
forces in the Philippines last
} ear was over $26, 100000. 1t
is safe to affirm that the sum
which would be annually saved,
were the United States to re-
linQuish sovereignty over the
Philippine Islands, would not
fall short of $50,O0O,0O0 Dem
ocratlc success means the di.
vorcing of the islands and Re.
publican success means then

BOY SCOUTS.

Last Saturday morning two patrols
of the Boy Scouts left Milford for trip
to Church Hill, the patrols being in
command of Watson Pierce and Richard
Truitt. They assembled at the corner
of North Walnut and North Front Streets
at nine o'clock, then they marched to

march was resumed to Church Hill, three
miles west of Milford on the Harrington
road. Here camp was pitched and
dinner cooked At twelve O'Clock the
Scouts were inspected by Major William
Marshall Scout Master and Mr.. Andrews
one of the Scout commissioners. In
the afternoon the boys were invited to
a picnic held in the school house where
they were served with ice cream and
cake and enjoyed both very much. The
Scouts left for Milford at five o'clock.
The march home was taken east to Gull
lentOwn, then west to the Silver Lake,
Branch, arriving home at six. All of
uniforms have now arrived and the boys
look very neat and orderly in their re-
gulation suits and hats. Several of the
boys are receiving lessons from Mr..
Lynch of the regular Militia, in the art
bugling and the Scouts hope soon to have
bugler for each patrol. Last Friday
night the boys were addressed by Mr..
Andrews who offered them the use of
the lower floor and yard of the Arts and
Crafts Guild Building on North Front
Street. As yet, no action has been
taken by the committee appointed in
either accepting or declining Mr.. An
drews kind offer. The meeting tonight
friday will be held punctually at

Farmers WILL Save Noaey.


| Any farmer or trucker who c9ntem-
plates using phosphate for sweet pot&'
toes should give the 1884" formula
prepared by Draper, Davis & Company
of Milford, a trial this season. The lead
ing farmers from Dover to Delmar, Del
aware, and Of other States, have had
the best results when this formula was
used on the sweet potato crop. The
names of farmers and truckers who
have used this preparation are among
the many who have used this and other
brands of phosphate made by Draper,
Davis & Company of Milford, Delaware,
for many years past. 1t is no new thing,
but a reliable formula. The following
potato growers from Browns Neck, be-
tween Harrington and FELTON,, Delaware,
will bear testimony as to its great value,
viz: Armwell Quillen, George Taylor,
Fred Butler, John w. Booth, P. T. Lof-
land, T. E. Killen, and others could be
added from this, one of the greatest
sweet potato growing districts in Della
ware. The mixture of ''8 "a" should
be sowed in the ground at least ten days
or two weeks previous to setting plants,
as the high amount of potash tends to
kill the plants unless well assimilated in
the soil before the actual setting. Keep.
this in mind for real success. Write and
get our prices and try the goods once,
and we are sure that you will be regular
