to the price of farm implements
was announced last week. Mr..
Sloan's statement shows that
there has been an advance of
price to the retailer during the
twelve months preceding June l
in farm wagons, plows, discs,
harrows and grain drills. and
tendency to advance in wind
mills, pumps and similar farm
appliances. The prices quoted
are based f. o. b. cars Chicago.
These quotations show there has
been a marked increase in the
prices of rakes, tedders and wa
gons.
The more important result of
this investigation. however. is
the statement that binding twine
has increased in price. He shows
that pure Manila twine has gone
from 50 cents in 1912 to 13f cents
in 1914, and that Manila twine
has gone from 81 cents to II cents,
and other brands from It cents
to 9 cents.
Mr.. Sloan makes this state
ment in connection with an ans
wer to Representative Cullop
(Dem.) of Indiana, whom he
charges with having "contradic-
ted every market of the United
States' in a statement he made
on the floor of the House, June 4, ,
to the effect that wheat now is
a better price under Democratic
times than it was in 1912, under
Republican rule" Mr.. Sloan
shows that there has been an av-
eraA e decrease in the five princi-
pal wheat markets of the United
States of 18 cents a bushel, TAX
ing wheat prices this year and
comparing them with prices of
two years ago. He says that
these figures were available when
Mr.. Cullcp made his statement
and that he (Cullop) had no ex-
cuse in making his erroneous
statement and no object, appar-
emily, except to deceive the far
mers who have been the most
harshly used of all the people of
the United States inHthe tariff re-
adjustment of this Congress-"

Bull Moose Weakness.

Especial to Cincinnati Enquirer. }
Topeka, Kan, July "A state
ment regarded as the most i'm
pOrtant announcementoft Of the cam
paign was given out for publica-
tion by William Allen White be-
fore he left Emporia for his sum .
mer home in Colorado to remain
until fall. AS an admission of
weakness on the part of the Bull
Moose party in Kansas it was
greeted with joy by the Repub-
Leans. Democrats, hoping the
Moosers will pull enough votes
from the Republicans to insure
another Democratic victory were
less pleased.
Whites announcement was
that the Moosers probably would
not poll more than 5000 votes at
the primary to nominate candi-
dates for all parties in August.
White is chief among those who
stood at Armageddon in the Kan
sas campaign two yealS ago. He
is the chief scribe and oracle of
them unto this day.
The statement is significant.
Republican leaders claim, in view
of the fact that the Armaged-
donites polled 124,OOO votes in
Kansas two years ago. The So
cialists drew $4,000 votes, seven
times the vote that Mr.. White
expects the Progressives to cast
in the primary next month for
candidates carefully selected for
their peculiar fitness to make the
campaign.

eral Commission on Industrial Re-
lations has been investigating The
workings of the protocol entered
into between the International La
dies Garment Workers and their
employers. Both parties to the
agreement testify that it tends to-
ward industrial peace, and is an
aid to settling differences without
resorting to strike. Under the
protocol the highest court is the
board of arbitration, and Charles
H. Winslow, statiscian of that body
made this statement of the work
accomplished: Between April Is
1911, aid August 81, 1913, there
were 7 $50 cases settled. All these
but l79 were settled by the chief
clerks of the union and the manu-
facturers association. Of these

How They WATER

A few years ago trolley line II
miles in length was to be built in
central New York. Estimates
showed that the building and equip
ment would cost $3.50, 900. The
cost of construction was little less
than that sum. But the promoters
having organized company, is
sued stock for $500. 900 and bonds
for like amount, and sold both al
prices which netted 5000, 600. The
road was built and an eff ort was
made to pay interests on the bonds.
The attempt failed. and the pro-
perty went into the hands of the
bond owners, the stock holders los
ing every dollar that they had put
ints the undertaking.
About the same time, in the re-
organization of the Anthracite
roads in the East, holding

old charter OF Pennsylvania cor

Judgment rendered by lower court
the state supreme court has shown
its disfavor of the policy of rail-

cision which gave a verdict for

was injured in 1900. Eight years
later the case was returned to the
lower court, where the brakema n
secured a judgement for ST 900.
and the company agained appealed.
In sustaining this decision, the su-
preme court now says: Except
that a verdict for larger amount
might we'll have been given, it is
hardly conceivable that unbiased
minds could disagree over the just
ness, under the law, of the result
reached by the jury. We feel that
the litigation has been unduly pro-
ionged, and, considering this, to
gether with the fact that the
amount awarded is not fully COM

with 10 per cent damages.
