MEAT PRICES AND THE TARIFF

Protectionst apologists for the high cost of meat
may offer all the excuses, explanations and remedies
for that outrage which they consider people capable
of swallowing But they can say nothing to ex-
plain away the fact that during the month Of Au-
gust American srloin of beef sold for 1911 cents in
London and for % cents in New York. None Of
the rot about middlemen increase in gold produc-
ton, great rise in wages and similar insincere twad-
die explains this difference in price. The only
PLANTATION that holds water is the tariff.
Great Britain levies no tariff duties on meat pro-
ducts. In the London market the American Beef
Trust must meet competition from Australia New
Zealand and South America The tariff protects the
trust from such competition at home. With the
tariff abolished American meats would sell at home
for no more than abroad.
OF course when these facts are made known the
howl goes up that the trust cannot pay decent wages
without the privilege of robbng the people. If the
excuse were true it would indicate gross incompe-
tence the part of the beef magnates. But it is
not true. It is so farefaced lie that the use of
it deprves the representative of the interest using
it OF all claim to confidence in anything he may say.
The census shows that the average wage paid in
the packing industry is $3.50 year, trihe over
$1,000 week How high tariff is needed to enable
the trust to pay such wages2 All told, there were
S9,728 wage earners employed in the year 1909 in
the packing industry, less than one-tenth of one
pei cent Of the population. Even if it were true
that to enable rapacious trust to pay starvation
wages to less than one-tenth of per cent all the
rest OF the people must submit to outrageous extor-
ton would that not be foolish bargain to make?
An annual tax Of about 60 cents head on the
meat consumers of the United States would raise
sum equal to the wages paid by the Beef Trust Yet
the tariff enables the trust to tax consumes more
than that each week. And still we are told that
this is all for he benefit of labor and those who tell
that, ask to be trusted with seats in Congress- the
Senate, and even in the White House.

A MANLY CANDIDATE.

Two years ago Governor Woodrow Wilson op-
posed the election of James Smith, Jr, as United
States Senator from New Jersey, and defeated him.
He did this because Mr.. Smith always had been
reactonary in politics, and because in the Federal
Senate he had helped to defeat the program Of prog
ressive Democracy.
Now, however, Mr.. Wilson is a candidate for
President, and the Smith manipulators, who ran
the politics of New Jersey before Mr.. Wilson took
hand, evidently thought he would consider it polt-
ically unwse to oppose Smith, the latter again
candidate.
Smith and his own crowd did not know their
man, for Governor Wilson at once addressed a let
ter to the voters of New jersey urging them to de-
feat the aspirant. It was fortnight letter. and
dealt in facts, concluding follows:
1T the Democratic party does not keep it's promises
now 1t will never have another opportunity to so.
Mr. Smith could not and would not lend himself to
any program of genuinely progressive legislation. My
first allegiance is to the progressive policies to which
have openly and solemnly dedicated every power I
possess Everything else must stand aside in the In.
erest of the country and of the great State of which
am Governor" =. :. :
Republican,, Socialist, Observation-Disclosures the
reader may be- he must admit that these are the
manly words of manly man; of one who consid-
ers not policy, but principle, and who would rather
be right than be President
The voters of the United States will make no
mistake when, next November; they invite Woodrow
Wilson to occupy the big chair in the White House.

fall fiat. The true progressives of the
country will understand that Cover
nor Wilson offers them all they ':an
desire. That was shown by the Mich
igan primaries and the Vermont cleo
ton. : >~.s -'@'
In some of his western speeches The
colonel has been pleading that to vote
for Wilson will be :. only to change
bosses. But as usual he presents only
the charge and leaves the specifica-
ton to" the Imagination. The fact is
that. Governor Wilson represents the
real progressive viewpoint, represents
it sanely and In manner that means
success Of those principles.
OF course, there are some men who
follow the word progressive and pay
little heed to the acts. Real pro-
gressives are not Of that caliber. They
seek for the act that expresses the
principle and adhere to the man who
can turn the principle into deeds.
Governor Wilson while governor of
New Jersey proved that he can do
that "
There is nothingrin Colonel Roose-
velt's record to show that he can do
that; nothing that shows that he has
done such q thing.
At the same time Secretary of War
Stimson urges all Progressives to en-
list under the banner Of the president
who vetoed the tariff reduction bills
and who has pleaded turgidly for
the retention of things as they are
calling him the real Progressive. That
urging will also fall fiat.
The people are awake. They real
lie that through seven years Of
Roosevelt and almost four years Of
Taft the great movement to reform
the government Of the United States
grew in spite of the influence and

PROGRESSIVE OHIO.

A great victory for progress has been won in
Ohio The fourth state in population has adopted
the Initiative and Referendum, Home Rule for cities
ana otner measures which make popular rule some
thing more than sham To be sure the victory for
democracy was not as complete as it should have
been. Woman suffrage was defeated and two or
three measures Of minor character adopted which
might better have been defeated But these defects
can be remedied The adoption of the Initiative
forms.
Ten years ago Herbert S. Bigelow obtained
leave of absence from the congregation of the Vine
Street Church Of Cincinnati, of which he was and
still is pastor, to organize the state for campaign
IN behalf Of the Initiative and Referendum From
that time until the polls closed on September 3rd
he kept steadily at it, TO no other individual is so
much of the credit due for the great victory that
has been won
