MR.,HHL'S OLD STORY.

AsE if some. dead and gone orator of slavery should return to make to chilly. audiences the speeches that once excited efi tlnz1siasifn is the return of Conkre=man Hill with his sad, old legend about free trade and tariff.
 This country, in a business way, is more prosperous than it has been for years. and. that under a. Democratic Congress, and the greatest era of tariff chan ge5 that has been known in fifty years.
 MT. Hill has not 1earned-or if he has learned he does not wish to tell u-that 4hs tariff is but an incident in the economies of this country.
 The tariff has been waved in the faces of the people until it is played out -The people know the old story, which MT Hin has told 50 often. They. understand it as perfectly as they do him
 They know that the simplest pheno- mena of our society have escaped his attention, or. that he ignores those matters because he is afraid to dis oIss them.
 The cost of living has been going up by leaps and bounds. Monopoly has wreathed its fingers, with sincreas- ing grip, about the threat of the nation The railroads of America kill rnorear1en than the railroads of any other country. The workers die in mines and of a thousand preventable occuptional diseases.
 The poorly paid workers of Law renee struck recently, exposing their starvation wages and their misery to the country. They were workers in the most highly protected industry in the country They were workers in same industry in which MT. Hill was engaged, the wool industry. when he helped to, make Schedule K, the wool tariff, which protected wood rnanh- lecturers until the country turned ai- most to revolution--s-
 To IsHe1 fannferss MT. EIflr turns in his distress, but he thought little about them when he supported the reciprocity. bill. which was drawn all against the -fipmers- of this country and which they trepu diated in Con- necticut and everywhere else
 PitifuI almost is MT. IIil1'k refer ence to the increase in the value of farm property. which is a mere measure of the increase in the value of everything that the farmers buy, from fertilizer to agricultural impfe- ments.
 If MT. Hill really desires to inform the people, let him. explain why the number of farms independently own ed Is decreasing and why the num- Der of mortsaged farms is. increasing. It thatlsts sigf4- of. prosperity? z2A
 He might also explain; why, after Is years of rule by him and his kind, owned homes are becoming fewer and rnortgaged homes more numerous.
 The truth of the matter is that MT. Hill has relentEessly assisted in laying grievous- burdens upon the people and nov, in his old age, he has come to iudgment.

J. J. HILL BORN IN LOG HOUSE IN CANADA "A YEARS AGO TO-DAY

Some forty miles from Toronto is the little city of Guelph, and seven miles east of Guelph is the village of Redwood, and three miles from Rockwood there was, in vanished pio- neer days, a log house, where lived James and Anne Hill, farmers. Sev- enty-four years ago today, on Sept. Is. 1s3S stork might have been seen flying over forest and swamp and trackless wilderness, headed in the direction Of the hut of logs. Awaiting the bird were the next-door neighbors of the Hills. women-folk from other pioneer farms mere matter of ten or twenty miles away. and when the stork had delivered his burden and flew away the heart of Farmer Hill was gIaddened by the words, Its a boy.'' Today the leading men of the great Northwest will celebrate that interesting event of seventy-four years ago, for the baby left at the primitive Canadian farm house became in tn, the fullness of time James Jerome Hill. railroad president anG empire build
 ;.Jin1" Fztlrs father was from the North of Ireland, his mother was as Scotch as that beverage which is us- uaHy associated with soda. They gave their boy a heritage of good health and sane common sense. The pioneer life of his youth was admirably adapt ed to the development of robust, stur- dy and fearless manhood. At the age wood Acadep.-- a boarding school for. boys which then had Faculty of one schoolmaster ana a student body of about forty healthy and boisterous farms. For seven years the future railroad builder spent his Winters at the academy and his summers on
 It was in 1s5s. when he was eigh- teen, that "Jinn'' Hill went West to make his fortune. At Buffalo he got for Chicago. For a little while he worked as a clerk in a Chioa go freight office. and then turned his face WestS ward California was his objective point Davenport and Rock Island held him for a little while. Steam boating on the Mississippi appealed made a nortfrward trip to St. Paul. In the Minnesota capital he soon secured 2 job as shipping clerk in a steamboat
 Opportunity was slow. to arrive at the door of Jim Hill. but when she with al head fuH of knowledge about transportation that enabled him to take full advantage of his chance Tn 1865 he became agent of the North later became the head of the fur and transportation firm of Hill, Griggs and Co In 1870 he established the Red River Transportation Co.,. which was the first o1ine. to open communication between St. Paul and Winnipeg.
 Real opportunity came with the chance to secure control of the St. Paul & Pacific railway. a streak of rust that began at St. Paul but end- ed considerably short of the Pacific. The Dutch owners finally tired of pouring their money into the appar- entIy hopeless project. and Hill or ganized a syndicate that bought the road for a. song. He reorganized the road as the St. Paul. Minn neapolis & Manitoba, induced the Bank of Mon treaI to back it with millions of dol lars and eventually developed the property into the Great Northern sys- fem extending from Lake Superior to Puget Sound. with numerous north and south branches and steamship line a the Orient.

 FAITH TO THE BULL MO0SERS
Gov. Marshall Tells People in
 Kansas That Roosevelt Men
 Are Floating Black Flag of Piracy
Vice Presidential Candidate Stands Squarely on Demo cratic Platform For Triumph of His Principles

Kansas City, Mo, Sept 16-In the Democratic campaign in Kansas, to- day, Governor Thomas R. Marshall. Democratic ce-presidential candidate spoke in part as follows:
 Never has the black flag of piracy f1oated above the political seas as now. never was it saluated with so much honor.
 .'In all my political career I have never asked anybody to vote for me, I do not propose to do so now. I am unfit for public office if my personal preferment is more potent than the triumph of the cause I advocate. My personality is of slight moment to the voters of this country unless they be- lieye in my party platform and my intent, if elected, to carry out it's pledges. I have. noas quarrel with the man who disagrees with me with ref ,erence to the Democratic latform. He may be right. much as I doubt it.

A vote obtained through dis stimulation is wrongfully obtained.

THE STOCK MARKET
CT. L. Watson & Co)

The last Government crop report, the last statement of thrilled steel ton- mage, the last showing Of the Copper Producers Association-each and all told the story of expansion in busi- ness-of movements favorable to sell CTS and holders. But these inf1u- ences are temporarily lost in the pres sure which q higher money market exerts. How far that pressure will put down prices it is difficult to say. But we do know that it is only fem porary-that natural readjustn1ent in time will restore 2 supply of cash from actual transaGA@ons at home and abroad which will be ample to 1na speculation responding to the increase in profits for the properties which speculation will deal with. The move ment of prices may continue reaction ary for a time but the values of com modities and of inves tments will re- main and will increase. That fact, 1t seems to us. is the thing to hold fast to when temporary phases of Wall Street do not look cheerful.
