ident OF the Iowa Retail Hardware
Dealers Association. said In his an
nual address to the association at tho
opening OF tho four days convention
Yesterday morning at the Coliseum,
There was a good attendance for the
opening day. and the number Of dele
gates has steadily been increasing. To-
day the officers expect 1000 dealers
and visitors from various parts OF the
state to arrive In Des Moines for the
convention.
Quality Not All.
In his addresssthe president informed
the dealers that the retailers have been
fighting the mail order houses so long,
and without effect, that those firms
now have the lions share Of the bust
ness. He stated that quality alone VIII
not sell the goods and retailers must
force manufacturers to reduce prices
so that the retailers can sell articles
at the same rates as the mail order
concerns. This policy il carried out
strictly eventually Will eliminate the
jobers, he said.
At the convention year ago the
hardware men condemned the parcel
post. The president said this system
is now a fact and that II Ia up to the
retailers to make the best OF IT. He
also advocated l cent letter postage.

Frank Bakers my name,
an old bachelor | am;
I'm keeping old batch,
in an elegant plan;
You'll find me out west,
in the county Cheyenne;
Starving to death,
on government claim.
My house is built of the natural soil,
The walls are erected according to
Hoyle;
The roof has no pitch,
but is level and plain:
And l always get wet if it happens
to rain.
Then Hurrah for Cheyenne County,
The land of the free,
The home of the grasshopper,
bed-bug and flea;
I'll sing of its praises,
and tell of it's fame;
While starving to death,
on government claim.
My clothes are all ragged,
My language is rough:
My bread is car hardened,
both solid and tough;
The dough it is scattered,
Eastern Colorado times., 1913-08-14
all over the room;
The floor it gets scared,
ut the sight of a broom;

ut the sight of broom;
The dishes are scattered all over
the bed,
covered with sorgum and govern
ment bread;
Still l have q good time,
and live at my ease;
On common sop sorgum,
old bacon and grease.
Then come to Cheyenne County,
There's room for you all;
Where the wind never ceases,
and the rain never falls;
Where the sun never sets,
but always remains;
TIL it burns us all up,
on our. government claims
How Happy 1 feel when | crawl into
bed,
The rattlesnake rattles q tune at
myhead;
The gay little centipede,
void of all fears;
Crawl over my neck,
and down into my ears
The cute little bed-bug so cheerful
and bright,
keeps me awake two thirds Of the
night;
The smart little flea,
with sharp tacks in his toes,
Plays why don't you catch me:
all over my nose.
Then Hurrah for Cheyenne County,
hurrah for the west;
Where the farmers and laborers,
are always at rest;
Where they have nothing to do,
but sweetly remain;
And starve like men,
on government claims.
How happy am,
on my government claim;
I've nothing to lose,
and nothing to gain;
I've nothing to eat,
and nothing to wear;
So nothing for nothing,
is honest and fair.

that it will increase the price OF
everything he sells. he forgets
that the things he buys are pro-
cuced 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 combining and disposing
Of their products in competitive
markets and receive the prices
fixed by the law of supply and
demand.
ANEEDED OBJECT LESSON.
The Democratic party has pla-
ced wool and wheat, and many
other products of the farm and
range on the free list, not be-
cause it wishes to injure the
farmer or the sheep man, but be-
cause it wants them to know that
their prosperity is not dependent
on a high protective tariff. Once
you get the farmer to understand
that these protectionists have
been fooling him-that when he
buys he buys in a protected mar
ket, and wherhe sells he sells in
a free trade market the temple
If protection will be deprived of
most of it's foundation stones.
A rather striking illustration
of the way the tariff affects the
farmer was given in the United
States Senate the other day.
Penrose, the stacdpat Senator
from Pennsylvania, announced
that a concern in his state which
makes cream separators, would
move its plant to Germany should
the Underwood bill pass. These
Pennsylvania cream separators
were selling from $25 to $55, ac-
cording to Penrose, and the Ger
mans were prepared to SUPPLY
our farmers with as good an ar
ticle for $14.
Senator Ollie James suggested
that these would be glad tidings
for the poor American farmer
who were being held up on the
price of their cream separators,
but Penrose continued to bewail
the destruction" of a great in
dustry until Senator Stone pro-
duced an interview with an offic-
ial of the separator company fiat
ly denying that they contempla-
ted moving to Germany, land in
sisting they would continue to do
business at the same old stand,
tariff or no tariff:
Thus another protective roor-
bach was disposed of.

Lindsay is one of the leading
wool growers of Montana. He
is a prominent Republican being
United States Marshal for the
District of Montana, appointed
by President Taft. In an inter-
view recently printed in all Mon
tana papers, Mr.. Linsay said:
"Wool prices have been on a
free wool basis for the last three
years, EVEN THOUGH WE
HAVE HAD A TARIFF. and for
this reason I do not believe that
prices are going to drop when
the tariff is removed.
'The condition of the trade
the condition of the wool clip,
and the decreased number of
sheep in the country all make me
believe we will not have any
cheaper wool than we have had
for three years past. The wool
lefrs in the east are empty, the
mills are p~etry we'll employed,
and there is absolutely no reason
why prices should1 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 the last
year. The buyers were enabled
to hammer the price that much
by exagerating the effects of
free wool, but those prices are
below a free wool basis, in my
judgment. and I expect to see
the wool consigned east bring
from 18 to 20 cents. -
"BEARING" THE WOOL
MARKET.
Volumes of evidence might be
submitted in support of Mr.. Lind
says statement that wool prices
have been on wool basis for
three years even though we have
had tariff" but space will not
permit.
It is difficult to make compari-
sons of wool prices on the Amer
lean and the English. or free
trade, markets, because of the
difference in classifcations, l
have it on the authority of leading
Western wool growers, however,
that the English market is fre.
quently higher than the Ameri-
can. These gentlemen agree
that the woolen 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 following telegram which ap-
peared in a Denver paper a few
days ago.
'Cokeville, Wyoming, July 18
Local sheep men who declined
early offers of IL and 13 cents
for their wool are now selling
their clips at from Is IL to 1884
cents. The clips of Rathbun Bros
and T. J. Downey brought II IL
cents; Salmon Bros. Is 34 cents;
8ernion Bros 16 3-4 cents.
The fact is this tariff on raw
wool is one Of the fakes used by
the real benefciaries of a high |
protective tariff to pull the
wool" over the eyes of the Amer
lean farmer. 1t is Of a piece
with the tariff on wheat and
potatoes and cabbages. None of

Lam in receipt of. the following
letter from a we'll known sheep
man of Colorado:
SORRENTO, Colo,
July 18, 1913.
Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
Ihave been reading your WASH
ingDn letters in several Eastern
Colorado newspapers, and see
that you are long on explaining
things, so wish in your next let
tef'you would explain why wool
isyfour to six cents per pound
cheaper than last year. l am
sure there is a lot Of us here that
would like to know. 1t surely
can't be the tariff, for we have
been assured by professors and
lecturers that this bill would
greatly reduce the price to the
but would not cut the
- price paid the producer. So If
you explain how this can be done
l am sure we would all appreci-
q ate it and look for it in your
next letter. Yours truly,
CHARLES E. COLLINS.
The sarcasm of my correspon-
dent is not lost on me, but l will
not retort in kind. This tariff
is of too much Importance to all
people to be flippantly disposed
II:
The democratic party is seek
ing 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 WOOL
en- mills, We are doing this be-
cause we do not believe it is just
to increase the price of the cloth
of all the people in order that a
very small percentage of our pop
ulation may be 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 Colorado is lower than
it was last year. But Mr.. COL
lins should remember that the
country is still operating under
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, and
that you cannot import pound
of raw wool without paying the
exorbltant tariff provided by that
measure.
If a protective tariff always
operates to increase the price
paid the sheep man for his wool,
why doesn't it protect him
now? OF course our standpat
friends will tell you that the
price of..wool has fallen because
of the threat" Of free wool but
the weight Of evidence is against
&c them.
y The truth is that the woolen
trust combination of the own
ers of the big woolen mills-con-
trolls the wool buyers of the coun-
try. These agents Of the trust,
assisted by the calamity-howling
standpat Senators and newspapers
have SCARED the wool growers
Of Colorado, and other states in
to selling their clips at less than
the worlds prices.

After the visit to the army service

Other conditions which General
Wood complained Of were the "trusty''
system, methods of working prisoners

CRONNA EXPECTS
CONSTANT WORK
Senator, Home. From Wash
ington, Sees Little Hope
For Recess this Year.

United States Senator A. j. Gronna
has returned to the state and is now
at his home at Lakota where he ex-
poets to remain a week or ten days.
Senator Gronna predicts that con-
gress will remain in continuous ses-
sion because of the vast mount of
business that has been piled UP.
Some time between September 1
and rs there will be a final vote on
the tariff" he delared. THE tariff
is complete as far as the schedules
are concerned and the only work that
is yet to be done has to do with minor
details, such as compiling of informa-
ton about ports Of entry and arrang-
ing for clerical work"
Senator GrOnna said that there was
much dissension among the democrats
regarding the currency bill.
He can see ne hope Of my immedi-
ate ''getting-together" on the part of
the democrats in the matter and 1t
will undoubtedly be a long drawn out
fight. he. said.
In regard to the National Associa-
ton Of Manufacturers he said that
there was no doubt in the minds of
most of the senators that there was
truth In a great deal OF the disclosures
made by William Mulhall Of lobbying.
Gronna said he knew friends Of Nels
Haugen of the. fourth; Iowa: congress-
ional district who told him Haugen
had a hard time getting reelected on
account Of large sums the manufac-
turers had contributed to defeat him.
