THE JEFFERSONIANe1

we see by their own figures that they are not
making any progress at all.
Proportional to population, there are fewer
so-called Christians in China, today, than
there were 25 years ago.
Throughout the whole Eastern world, there
IS not single native convert in charge of q
se}t-supportlng church.
That fact IS appalling and it shows you
how true were the warnings of Judson, Craw-
ford, Carpenter, and Scarboro, against the
system which enists the greed of the mis-
sionary and the greed of his convert.
B.J. w. Graham, d. D., is out in booklet,
to prove that the cost of living is higher in
the Orient than it is in this country
A man who deliberately sets out to prove
a thing like that, is capable of trying to prove
that the average Shetland pony is larger than
the average elephant.
In this country. the cost of living was
nearly doubled bv the Aldrich Tariff of 1911:
and that monstrous piece Of class legislation
has never been seriously bettered. The Euro
pean war has enormously added to food prices
over these, and as We have been sending our
meats and groceries abroad for those mar
kets, our prices have remained high.
In China, Japan, India and Korea, there is
peace and plenty. Enterpri5ing traders in
China are buying up food stnffs, and making
fortunes out of the prices obtained in Euro
pean markets.
B. j. W. Graham, d. d., sets out an absurd
bst of prices which he says are those charged
IN Chinese and japanese markets.
For instance, he says that bushel Of meal
costs $3.50 IN Japan, eggs, n cents and
chickens. from 80 to 90 cents. He actually
says that rice costs almost as much in China
and Japan, as in Atlanta
Where did Dr. Graham get his figures?
The press-dispatches told US, a few weeks
ago, that the highest price for eggs was
cents a dozen, and chickens s cents.
Why should the Japs pay "A cents for eggs,
when they are SO close to the market in which
eggs sell for cents?
In Manchuria, where the ,Japs possess the
land, eggs, chickens &c. are cheaper than in
great cities like Picking. Canton, and Shang-
hal.
In 1911, my friend Clarence Poe editor Of
The Progressive Farmer, published a most
interesting book of travels.
He had been to the Orent-to China ia
pan, India, &c.-and he had used his eyes to
good purpose, studying economic conditions.
On page SO of his book Where half the
world is waking up'-he says that male
farmland gets 1912 cents day for his labor,
Carpenters get 40 cents, shoemakers 81
cents, blacksmiths 81 cents. male weavers %
cents; and that in the factories, the pay
ranges from cents up to % cents, The most
skilled employees are paid so cents, a maxi
mum wage
Now, use your mother-wit, and try to figure
out bow japanese farmland is able to feed,
clothe and house himself, on 1912 cents a day,
If rice, in Japan, is nearly as dear in
Atlanta.
How could those workmen ever taste meat.
at 30 cents a pound? Or flour at 1926 100

on the S1.75 and never ceases to be grateful
for the opportunity to earn so much!"
Does DR.. Graham dispute the lady's word?
She is in China, and she knows what she is
talking about.
DR.. Graham is not in China, and he does
not know what he is talking about.
Rice in China, Japan, and parts of India
is the cheapest food in the world; and to
pretend that the price is 4 cents Il pound, is
ridiculous.
Mr.. Poe mentions the grain crops Of Japan
wheat, barley, &C., and he says that sweet
potatoes grow more uxuriantly than in any
other country have ever seen"
Consider the food-list, and judge whether
you could live on it, if YOU were foreign
missionary:
Pork, ham, mutton, beef, ducks, geese,
chickens, eggs, -four, rice, sweet-potatoes, all
sorts of vegetables, fruits, and fish
Yet DR.. William H, Smith, and DR.. Ora
ham deliberately try to convince. our people
that if our Consuls and our Missionaries
should attempt to live on the food of the
natives, they would 90 to pieces in health
very quickly"
What unworthy nonsense! Are we to be
told that such staple foods as -four rice, NUT
ton, beef, potatoes, poultry, ham and eggs
are not as wholesome in China, as in Georgia?
Bosh General Grant end his party, the
Prince Of Wales, and his party, and practi-
cally all the Europeans who reside in the
East, live as the natives do-even adopting,
to large extent, their way Of dressing, build
ing houses, and preparing the food.
On page 1O1, Clarence Poe states
"Here in the hotel where [ write tAis arti-
Gle, one of the foremost journalists Of the Far
East tells me that the average tariff protected
American industry sells goods to Asiatic
buyers at 30 per cent. less than it will sell to
the people at home. Thirty per cent, he says,
as the usual discount for Oriental t1,ade"
In other words, the Tariff makers have
given our manufacturer a monopoly Of the
American market, and he squeezes lis to the
limit of endurance; but he ships stuff across
the ocean, and sells it for one-third less than
he compels as to pay
What about it, DR.. Graham? Do you dis
pute Mr.. Poc's word as we'll as Emma
Testers?
Please read another line or two from Mr..
POe's book:
"a man told me few weeks ago, Of buying
feece-lined underwear at hulf qeh0t It costs at
home; and q missionary tells me that he sores
20 cents on each ttoo- pouaA can Of R0yaI
baking pO2cder, as compared with The Amer
lean prices"
Mr.. Poe adds
and these only a few instances Hundreds
of others might be given"
Here was an intelligent traveller, writing
the facts as he CLEANED them on the spot, and
he tells you, just as Miss Lester did, that the
cost of living in the Far East is very low
Further, he says that the American manufac-
turers freight their goods 10000 miles across
the water, and then sell them at 70 cents on
the dollar, as compared to- prices you and /
have to pay.

CONSOLIDATION TO
BEPUSHED ANYWAY
Gould Dietz of Greater Omaha Com
mittee Says the Injunction Suit
Was Expected.
PEOPLE WANT ANNEXATION

The Greater Omaha committee is
not going to/Quit because of the suit
filed Wednesday 20 hold off the cleo
ton June l on the consolidation OF
Omaha, South Omaha and Dundee.
Speakers have been named to start
the campaign Saturday night and
every effort will be made to get out
large vote.
You may say for the Greater Omaha
committee OF Omaha. Dundee and South
Omaha that this Injunction trick will
have no effect whatever on the commit
tees plans for getting out the full tote
for consolidation Tuesday, June 1, ;,aid
Gould DietE. chairman OF this committee
This Injunction play has been antici-
pated all along. II surprises no one. II
is just a part of the petty personal oppo-
sition to be found in few we'll known
quarters.
Murphy and seIby Sponsors.
Henry Murphy and w. l. selby are
the Injunction sponsors. 1t is only fair
for the voters of the three municipalities
to know something of the motives &C
uating these gentlemen. And our COM
mittee will try from day to day to ex-
plain them.
Both gentlemen act from purely self
ish motives. Mr. Selby states in his pc
tition that he is concerned as a taxpayer
OF Dundee; and Mr.. Murphy Processes to
represent the taxpayers of South Omaha.
Mr.. Selby is the legal representative of
certain interests in South Omaha that
are opposed to annexation and he is act
ing entirely as their agent in this mat
ter. Mr.. Selby's career touching matters
of assessment and taxation in South
Omaha has been an active and notable
one. and It is easy to understand, there.
fore. his activity now.
Murphy an office Holder.
80 far as Mr. Murphy is concerned,
he is simply an officeholdef fighting for
his job on the one hand and a lawyer
trying TO serve his private clients on the
other He is city attorney of South
Omaha. as we'll as attorney for certain
street paving contractors who are opposed
to annexation. Mr.. Murphy does not rep
resent South Omaha in this fight at all,
as dhy DAo NoAA liAAu AbI hAhSCiA ny AuiN-
ing with South Omaha people.
'As the campaign progresses It may
be interesting to review the active part
Mr.. Selby has taken in South Omaha
politics, especially in city council affairs
in years gone by. This may serve 10
explain the more clearly his attempt in
trying to defeat the viii of the people
