their wealth in farm value alone, a
sum great enough to have purchased

The average wages paid in all the
manufacturing establishments in 1860,
the low tariff period, was $3.50 year.
Under high protection they have adj
vanced to an average of s516 in 1910,
(See u. S. Census) and to about 5000
at present. Mr.. Voter which system
do you thing you will like the best?
Think that over. Pattangal stands
for a low tariff; Peters stands for
protection and protection means more
work and more wages. Think of that

cussion upon several of the measures
passed by the last legislature, includ-
ing the new workmens compensation
law, fire insurance law, status of the

situations to buy goods in Iowa Actu-
airy c. A. Gibson of the association
talked Of the insurance laws of the
state and the work of his department
in the association. The workmen's
compensation law as a general idea
was favorably commented upon ar
though specifically 1t is not liked by
some manufacturers.
A tentative draft of the constitution
and bylaws Of the proposed Iowa
Manufacturers Reciprocal Exchange
was submitted. The object Of the ex-
change is to furnish insurance to the
manufacturers and to require mem
bers OF the exchange to install certain
fire preventative appliances. All Off
