R. WAYNE PARKER TELLS
TOILERS ABOUT TARIFF
Says Progressiyes Showed
Hand in Vetoed Bill.

In a speech to the employees of the
Whitehead & Hoag Company this
noon former Congressman r. Wayne
Parker declared hat the five tariff
bills recently vetoed by President Taft
were not Democratic bills, but Pro-
gressive bills.
This is conclusive proof" said the
speaker, that the Progressive party
showed its hand. and would not sup
port a tariff that will give proper pro-
lection to American industries and
American labor"
To take off the tariff that protects
the American manufactures would
mean the loss of jobs to the workmen-
argued the speaker. He gave as a
reason that a great many manufac-
%turers had factories in Europe, and
just as Dor as they found out that
by making goods on the other side
with cheap labor they could sell them
in this country for less than the
American manufacturer, the whole
country would be flooded with foreign
made goods.
Mr.. Parker, after mentioning a long
list of manufactured products that
would be hurt by being placed oil the
free list, took up the question of hats.
Last year he said there were shipped
into this country $4,000 dozen hats,
Even with a small tariff the Ameri-
can manufacturers has been able TO
get along, but to put hats on the free
list every halter In the country would
be thrown out of a job, ne asserted.
In referring to President Cleveland
the speaker said: "Grover Cleveland
had his own tariff views that were
not to my way of thinking, but Grover
Cleveland neevr backed water for any
man, and when he thought a thing
was right he stuck to it. That is
more than can be said VI Governor
Wilson, who is always changing his
policies"
E. M. Barradale was the other
speaker. He defended President
Taft's record and spoke of the pros
porous times that the country a
enjoying.
E. ]. Beutell, @ railroad man, was
the speaker at the Rubber Set Cellu-
loid Company. He toli his hearers
of what President Taft had done for
the union man by looking after his
interests and assisting in having laws
passed hat would benefit him III
every way.

Tending, as he says, the administra-

made by me.
Honestly Mistaken.
Further, / never said that l did not

say that I objected to them asking
me last year If I had objected to the

matter of fact, at the time they asked
me the question no money had been
expended and not a spadeful of earth
removed. So in this instance Mr.. De-
Graw was honestly mistaken, not
having qualified himself with the re-
marks that were uttered by me.
I'm the second place l did not at
tribute the reduction in the tax rate
wholly to the Democratic assessor.
but I referred to the reduction in
several items of the tax budget as
being a participating cause and then
asked the question what would they
do when the appropriations were
spent and this deficit came before the
people. Mr.. DeGraw, however, has
published some figures to show that

ent assessor for the year 1912 are

erage increase in ratables for any
year in the past four.
Increase In RatabIes.
Taking his own figures. in the year
1911 the total ratables were 6.542, 216.
an increase of 1923, 1913 over the year
1910, and in 1912 s6,9OS. 1888, an increase
of 1856, 172. Therefore. If in the year
1912 there are $366,172 earning money
for the town through assessments or
taxation over the figures of any
previous year, it certainly must be
clear to everybody that this increase
in the income of the town must GER
tainly drive down the rate"
President John H. Waters, who is
a candidate for freeholder, presided
at the meeting. Addresses were also
made by Tax Assessor Richard P.
Scaine, jr., and Councilman George
I. Byron.

Mr.. Connolly. after Directing to Mr..

fully misleading" spoke in part as
follows:

CHALK UP NEW RECORD
IN TAX COLLECTIONS

BY continuing the team work in
the office of Tax Receiver Richard
J. Franz, which has marked the ac-
tivity of the clerks since the first pay
day for taxes, the department mas
chalked up a new record for the first
ten days. Every day during the ten
days period in which a discount of
1 per cent. is given on all taxes paid
the total receipts has steadily eX-
ceeded that of corresponding days in
other years. The payment by the
Prudential Insurance Company of
but $751; 900 on its $715. 900 assessrner
1t was feared would bring the total
collections below other years, but it
did not prove an obstacle.
The city took in $2,369, 1856 6 for the
ten days, or $51, S41.S2 more than a
year ago, when the Prudential con-
tributed 5000. 900. This figure smashes
all previous records. Efficiency of
the Office under Mr.. Franz and his
chief clerk, Mr.. Morehead, was fur
Their demonstrated by clearing up of
all the business at 9 O'Clock last night,
whereas in other years the forces
labored far into the morning and had
their supper at a cost of 5000 to he
city. This expense was saved this
year, and the clerks were fresh and
rady this morning to tax up the oper-
ing of the mail containing check and
money received during the ten days
1t is believed that the mail receipts
will also exceed the receipts from
this source in 1911. which were ga
