Abraham Lincoln is reported

Abraham Lincoln is reported
as having said:
81 do not know much about
the tariff, but | know this much.
When we buy manufactured
goods abroad we get the goods
and the manufacturer gets the
money. When we buy the manu-
featured goods at home we get
both the goods and the money.
When an American paid $40 for
steel rails to a British manufac-
turer, America had the steel
and England the $40. But when
he paid $40 for the steel to an
American manufacturer, Amer
lea had both the steel and the
500
This expression contains a
ton of good sense and argument.
The "Rail Splitter" like the Re-
taller, uses plain and simple il
Illustrations to cinch a point.
These arguments are as plain
and simple today as ever: so

Mr.. Robert Holmes, one of
the large stockholders in the st.
Joseph Lead Company, located
in this county, is reported as
having said that corporate div
idends should be suspended if
necessary to enable American
labor to live comfortably and in
contentment. Such men as
this are scarce in this country
that's willing to pass up their
dividends in the interest of the
laboring man.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-10-22

A convincing evidence that
times are greatly improved is the
fact that last week a farmer, liv-
ing below Charleston, in Missis-
sippi county of this State, sold
a load of cotton for SIG. His
name is C. j. Gilmore, and he
lives near Admission, Mo. Such
news as this sounds good, and
speaks we'll for Democratic
government and low tariff.

From the exchanges that come
to us we find that Hon. John l..
Bradley is being favorably en-
dorsed for State Auditor. SEN
ator Bradley made a race eight
years ago that anyone can be
proud of, and the way things
look now he will be nominated
and elected.

When such statesmen as "Un-
Gle" Joe Cannon are willing to
take off his hat to President
Wilson's European policy, it's
time for the Senators and Con-
gressmen to fall in line with his
Army and Navy policy as he is
always on the job and knows
what's best for the people of
this great country.

That High Tariff Mascot o.

That High Tariff Mascot of
the G. O. P. has went fop-ex-
ploded. The amount of stuff
shipped into this country from
foreign countries is less under
low tariff than it was under high
tariff. This don't agree with the
G. O. P. argument that if the
tariff was reduced this country
would be flooded with cheap
stuff from Europe.

The Diamond Tire people recently nut
adNtrtisinE to the test without having
/ intended deliberately TO do SO. Refer
! ring to the manner in which il came
about. Diamond official said:
several months ago we invited tire
dealers throughout the country TO write
10 us and tell us frankly how. Diamond
tires mad served purchasers during the
season OF 1914. We wanted this infor
NATION Tor our own guidance in build
/ ing tires for this and future years. We
knew that dealers would be sure to hear
or amy defects in the tires they sold
and that they would be able to give us
nrs' hand Information concerning the
service Diamond tires had Welded
THE letters that We received from
dealers throughout the country were
remarkable for one thing That was
the unan'mity with which the writer's
praised Diamond Squeeze Tread tires,
ana assured US OF the great satisfaction
that purchasers had secured from them
so extraordinary was the service record
that Diamond tires had made, as show.
by the reports OF the tire dealers, that
we decided TO publish the letters in
book form
incidentally. 1 may say that of the
many hundreds of thousands OF Dia
mond tires sold last year less than per
cent OF them were returned to the deal
ers for adjustment. | don't believe that
record has ever been eQualcd by any
other tire. II cannot be beaten until
heriection IN tire making has been
achieved
1T was that extraordinary service
that distinctive freedom from tire
trouble which Diamonds users enjoyed
that caused us TO decide upon the pub
lication Of the book of letters from
dealers.
Now. here is where the test OF the
value OF advertising comes in We nut
;nto the Diamond advertisements which
appeared in the newspapers and farm
papers throughout the country 4 line
mentioning the fact that we were pub
l'shing the book. and advising the read
! er mat free copy would be sent TO him
! II he would advise us OF his desire to
get il.
The thousands OF requests that we
have received for the book constitute
undeniable evidence Of the fact that
! people read advertisements and are
swaycd by them
! From every State in the Union these
requests are coming TO us. might AL
most say from every town in the coun-
| try they are being received daily. And
the stream grows broader and deeper las
| the days pass by. II is the most con-
vincing proof OF the value OF adver-
Using that has ever come to my notice."
