Ends Examination

Attorney Morse announced at this point
that the direct examination was ended
and adjournment was taken until Mon
day, when the state will cross-examine
the defendant.
During most of her six hours in the
witness box Mrs. Eaton was confronted
by District Attorney Barker who sat
two yards away, and when she replied
to the questions about poison her glance
often met his squarely. Mrs. Eaton de-
scribed her life with the admiral as that
of wife devoted to his comfort and striv-
ing to lift from his shoulders the burden
of debt under which he labored. She de-
clared she had sacrificed her furs and her
Jewels to assist in supporting the family.
Mrs. Eaton said her husband WAS des-
pondent at times, particularly after in
dulgence In drugs. and that 1t was also
when under the influence of those drugs
that he had flirted with other women.
She denied she was jealous, but added
that she was jealous at such times cf
her husbands dignity as a rear admiral
OF the navy.
Regarding letters to Miss Grace p.
Howard Of New Bedford and others COM
planning of her husbands alleged fllrta-
ton Mrs Eaton said she wrote these
only because she wanted to show in court
the state of the admirafs miml, should 1t
be found that the adopted child which
had died had been killed by poison
Testimony Denied
Mrs. Eaton denied portions of the tes-
timony given earlier in the trial by DR..
C. II. Colgate of RoclSland. DR., Colgate
had testified that Mrs. Eaton asked his
assistance in having the admiral com
mitted to an asylum.
She testified she asked DIR. Colgate to
examine her husband to better his con-
dition. She denied she ever had taken
any steps toward committing her hus-
band as insane. other than TO ask local
physicians to examine him. The witness
described in detail the last week of the
admiral's life
Regarding the adnlirals last illness,
Mrs. Eaton said he had at other times
had perfect paroxysms OF vomiting" so
that she was not alarmed at the attack
he had on the Thursday night preceding
hfs death. The next day DR.. Frame ex-
amined the admiral, but said he did not
think him seriously Ill, according to
Mrs. Eaton.
In the middle of Friday night. Mrs.
Eaton said. she left her own room twice
and attended the sick man. The second
time, she said. she got into bed with
him and both soon fell nsleep. She
awoke to find him cold. Il shook him
and called. Joe but ne was dead" she

III Is difhcult TO make compari-
sons of wool prices on the Ameri-
can and the English, or free trade,
markets, because of the differences
in classiiications. | have it on the
authority of leading Western wool
growers, however, that the English
market is frequently higher than
the American. These gentlemen
agree that the wooden combine.
through its control of the buying
agencies, is enabled to bear" the
wool market and practically dictate
the price it will pay the sheep
men. That the wool growers are
Catching on" to the tactics of the
wool combine is shown by the fol-
lowing telegram which appeared in
Denver paper few days ago.
"Cokeville, Wyoming, July Is.
Local sheep men who declined
early offers of IL and 13 cents for
their wool are now selling their
clips at Is l-2 to 16 3.4 cents. The
clips of Rathbun Bros and f. j.
Downey brought l5 l-2 cents; Sal
mon Bros. 10 3-4 cents; Bernion
Bros. Is 3-4 cents"
The fact is this tariff on raw wool
is one of the fakes used by the
real beneficiaries of high protect
i've tariff to "pull the wool" over
the eyes of the American farmer.
1t is one. of a piece with the tariff
on wheat and potatoes and cab
bages.' None of these tariffs affect
the prices paid the farmer for his
products. He is always selling in
free trade market, but he doesn't
know it,
He knows the tariff increases
the price of everything he buys
and it is not hard to persuade him
that it will increase the price of
everything he sells. He forgets
that the things he buys are pro-
duced by manufacturers who find
it easy to combine and raise and
maintain prices to the full level of
the tariff wall, while he and his
fellow farmers never think of COM
bining, and dispose of their prod
ucts in competitive markets and
receive the prices fixed by the law
of supply and demand.
A NEEDED OBJECT LESSON
The Democratic party has placed
wool and wheat, and many of the
other products of the farm and
range on the free list, not because
it wishes to injure the farmer or
the sheep man, but because it
wants them to know that their
prosperity is not dependent upon
a high protective tariff. Once you
get the farmer to understand that
these protectionists have been fool
ing him-that when he buys he
buys in a protected market, and
that when he sells he sells in a
free trade market-the temple of
protection will be deprived of most
of its foundation stones.
A rather striking illustration of
the way the tariff affects the farmer
was given in the L. S. Senate the
other day. Penrose, the standpat
Senator from Pennsylvania, an
nounced that concern in his
State which makes cream separat-
ors, would move its plant to Ger
many should the Underwood bill
pass. These Pennsylvania cream
separators were selling from S25 to
500, according to Penrose, and the
Germans were prepared to supply

than we have had for three years
past. The wool lofts in the East
are empty, the mills are pretty
well employed, and there is abso-
lutely no reason why prices should
drop EVEN WITH FREE WOOL.
"The average price of wool in
Montana this year was from 16 to
II cents, about four cents less
than the average for last year. The
buyers were enabled to hammer
the price that much by exaggerat-
ing the effects of free wool, but
those prices are below free wool

''Ah Vi SOlbTduO.
Sorrento, Colo, July Is, 1913
Dear Sir:
l have been reading your Wash
lngton letters in several of the
Eastern Colorado newspapers, and
see that you are long on explaining
things, so wish in your next letter
you would explain why wool is four
to SIX cents per pound cheaper
than last year | am sure there is
a lot of us here that would like to
know. 1t surely can't be the tariff
Tor we have been assured by pro-
tessors and lecturers that this bill
would greatly reduce the price to
the consumer, but would not cut
the price paid to the producer. SO
If you can explain how this can be
done, | am sure we would all ap-
preciate it and look for it in your
next letter.
Yours truly,
Charles l.. Collins
The sarcasm of my correspond
ent is not lost on me, but | will
not retort in kind. This tariff
question is of too much importance
to all the people to be fippantly
disposed of.
The Democratic party is seeking
to place raw wool on the free list,
and it is also attempting to make
cut of 66 per cent in the duty on
the products of the wooden mills.
We are doing this because we do
not believe it is just to increase
the price of the clothing of all the
people in order that a very small
percentage of our population may
be more prosperous.
STILL UNDER PROTECTIVE TARIFF
We contend however that the
removal of the tariff on raw wool
will not materially affect the price
the sheep man will receive for his
wool. 1t is probably true, as Mr..
Collins says, that the price bid by
wool buyers in his section of Colo
RADIO is lower than it was last year.
But Mr.. Collins should remember
that the country is still operating
under the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill,
and that you can not import a
pound of wool without paying the
exorbitant tariff provided by that
measure.
If a protective tariff always oper-
ates to increase the price paid the
sheep man for his wool, why
doesn't it protect" him now? OF
course our stand-pa friends will
tell you that the price of wool has
fallen because of the "threat" of
free wool, but the weight of evil
denced is against them.
The truth is that the wooden
trust-a combination of the own
ers of the big wooden mills-con-
trolls the wool buyers of the coun-
try. These agents of the trust,
assisted by the calamity-howling
stand pat Senators and newspapers
have SCARED the wool growers of
Colorado and other states into sell
ing their clips at less than the
worlds prices.
SOME REPUBLICAN TESTIMONY
Let me submit little testimony
on that point. Hon. VIM. Lind
say is one of the leading wool
growers of Montana. He is a
prominent Republican, being U. S,
marshal for the district of Montana
appointed by President Taft. In
an interview recently printed in
all the Montana papers, Mr.. Lind
say said:
