Certain localities continue to re-
ceive the stimulus of war orders.
Pittsburg's recent share of contracts
aggregates $80,000,000, virtually all
for railway equipment. Secretary
Nordman of the Pittsburg Foreign
Trade Commission states that he has
turned over to firms in other cities
several large orders TO munitions
such as rifles and cartridges, which
are not manufactured In the Pitts
burg district. A $25,O00,O0O contract
for rifles, accouterments and ammu-
milton is to be let among Denver man
ufacturers, provided they can handle
such large order The Newhouse
mills in New York City have received
contract from the Italian govern
ment for blankets, the majority OF
them to be Sh pounds weight, 500
600 to be delivered in October. The
American Wollen Company has also
received large order for blankets
IlOlu IHe same government. Orders
such as these account largely for the
high prices of wool Efforts of the al
lies to place a $29,4OO,OOO order fol-
picric acid in st. Louis have failed
because of inability of manufacturers
there to supply such a demand, but
several of the ST. Louisians are con
templating the establishment of a pi-
eric ascid plant in New Jersey Pic
ric acid sells at $3.50 pound, an ad-
vance of one dollar since the war.
Some practitioners administer str
ong stimulents to their patients in the
belief that the artificial strength thus
derived will enable them to tide over
the crisis. 1t is hoped that war or
ders will act in like manner on our
national industries, that they may
pass through the crisis of a Demo
cratic administration.

ket for American raw material For
merly, the American manufacturer
had to undersell his foreign conlpeti-
tor in the foreign market, Now the

product was marketed at cut price

The Wisconsin state fair a year ago
was participated in by greater unm-
Der of counties than in any year pre-
ceding. The officers of the fair de-
clared that it's success was based more
upon the interest displayed by the in
dividual counties than upon any other
one thing.
The counties will again receive spe-
cial attention this year, many reserva-
tons have already been made for
space. The county exhibits serve a
two-fold purpose, not only adding
greatly to the attractiveness of the
fair, but centering attention upon the
resources Of the state, which cannot
be effectively shown in any other
practicable way.

Washington Letter.

Washington, Aug. 18-(Special Cor
respondence.)- Oxalic acid is used
in tanning, calico printing, woilen
and silk dyeing, and in various bleach
ing processes, especially the bleach
ing of straw for bonnets and hats. The
laundries also use nearly 100000
pounds year in whitening shirts and
collars. From eight to ten million
pounds are annually consumed in this
country, and prior to 1903 it all came
from Germany, England, Norway, Bel
GUM and Austria, which countries
had combined to form syndicate to
Prices to the United States at that
time ranged from to II cents per
pound. The syndicate was controlled
by Germany, from which came three
fourths of the acids.
In 1903 the manufacture of oxalic
acid was undertaken on a small scale,
experimentally, in this country, the
plant being located in Pennsylvania.
No sooner did the construction of this
plant come to the attention of the
syndicate than prices dropped, in1903
to Ate; 1904, Acc; 1905, Ate; 1906,
SIC. This sort of price-cutting put
the American company out of bust
ness, and Immediately the Oxalic syn
dictate raised the price to TIC, and in
1907 to &c. In 1908 the American
company made another start, and the
syndicate dropped the price to SIC.
The republican revision of the tar
if was up about that time, and the
American company presented figures
which induced Congress to give a
protective duty of &c, a pound on OK
allie acid. This duty was based sole
~ on the difference in cost of common
labor at home and abroad, per pound
of product, and did not take into ac-
count the overhead charges and sell
ling costs. When this duty went in
to effect the foreign price went to
TIC, where 1t remained through 1910,
1911 and 1912. By some pretty close
figuring the American company was
able to operate at profit, and it &C
ted as check on the foreign syndi-
cate methods of price cutting and con-
trolling. A large share of the annual
consumption was being manufactured
in the United States, the only money
going abroad was for the purchase
of potash, the raw material; Ameri-
can labor was being employed at wa
ges which enables the men to be good
good customers of the clothier and
the food producer, and the country
was the possessor of a new industry,
which would, if properly fostered,
render us wholly Independent of Ger
many.
Then came the destructive tariff
legislation of the Democratic party,
which sneaked into the Capitol
through crack in the protective party
wall. The duty on oxalic acid wascut
% per ct. This was too low for pro-
lection, but it gave the foreign syndi
cate the opportunity it sought to dump
oxalic acid on this market, and they
lost no time in taking advantage of
it. The first quarter of the fiscal year
1914, under Republican law, 1,600,0 900
pounds were imported; the second
quarter, when the Underwood law
took effect, 1,720,260 came in; the
third quarter, 100000; the fourth
quarter, 2,S50. 900 pounds. Then came

WISCONSIN FARM NOTES.

Wisconsin has lower rate on loans
to farmers than any adjoining state.
The percentage of mortgaged farms in
Wisconsin is increasing, but it has a
smaller proportion of tenants than
any other nearby state.
Wisconsin produces annually for ev-
cry family in the state 400 pounds of
meat, 70 bushels of potatoes, tons of
vegetables, 1900 loaves of wheat and
rye bread, 100 dozen eggs and 240
cans of canned goods.
Wisconsin has more SilOs than any
other state in the Union. 1t is esti-
were Al 500 silos in the Badger state,
or more than two and half times as
many as Illinois, it's closest rival.
So
Of the 1920 cheese factories in the
United States federal officials credit
Wisconsin with 1920, or nearly one
half of the entire number. New York
ranks second with few less than a
thousand
If present plans work out there will
be one Of the finest gatherings of boys
that has ever been assembled in the
state The officials are Offering spe-
cial premiums for exhibits of products
grown and made by Badger boys or
girls. If you want to know more
about it, write to Thomas L. Bewick,

Of the 10000 active breeders of Jer-
sey cattle living in this country, but
$50 are members of the national or
ganization of Jersey breeders. A Min
nesotan, who admires the farmers
type of a dairy COW so popular among
Badger Jerseymen, has been elected
president of the American Jersey Cat
tie Club and is leading a campaign for
more and larger Jerseys.
The largest cooperative creamery
enterprise in this country, according
to dairying authorities, is that in
which 472 of our cut-over country far
mers are partners. There were man
ufactured at this Barron county
creamery last year 1,112,380 pounds of
butter The patrons of this creamery
are paid, on the average, three cents
a pound above New York prices for
butterfat and four cents above Elgih
The output of this creamery for 1914
would have required 65 cars to haul it
to market and had all of the tubs
placed side by side in single column
a solid front of nearly five miles
would have been formed.

test the winner may receive barely
two-fifths OF the entire vote. He may

The hot weather has plainly been
getting on Secretary Redfield's nerves
and. when criticised for the manner in
which he is conducting the ''investiga-
ton" of the Eastland disaster. he
burst into what the dispatches de-
scribed as heated speech" We
can easily believe the story 1t is
typical of the department chiefs in
this administration. Any one of them
thinks a speech or an open letter is
the one perfect remedy and the one
adequate defence for anything. What
the country wants is fewer speeches
and more action.

THE MANLY REPORT.

The Manly report which the Unit
mission has just ordered submitted
to Congress, declares the following to
be the conditions OF labor and indus
try in America:
OF the millions and millions of the
workingmen in this country, ONE
THIRD ARE POVERTY STRICKEN.
Thirty-seven per cent of wives and
mothers of workingmen are forced to
do hard work themselves to help keep
the wolf from the door.
$500 per year is the income of half
of the wage earning fathers
Less than SIS per week is the wages
OF two-thirds OF the adult male work
ers.
Nearly half of the women workers
earn less than Sc per week.
Three or more persons occupy eV-
cry sleeping room in 81 per cent OF
the workers homes.
Babies of the Poor DIE THREE
TIMES AS FAST AS THOSE OF
THE RICH.
Nearly 90 per cent of the SCHOOL
CHILDREN of this country are UN-
DERFED and UNDERNOURiSHED.
One out of every twelve corpses
in New York is buried in the Pot
ter's field.
Economic pressure forces two
thirds of all the children to leave the
grammar schools before graduating,
and only 10 per cent finish high
school.
Farm tenancy is increasing at an
appalling rate Landlordism is there
fore increasing at an appalling rate.
Workers in basic industries are out
of Jobs one-fifth of the time.
There are Al families with incomes
equal to the earnings of 100000 OF
workingmen.
The ''rich" 2 per cent of the people,
own so per cent of the wealth OF the
nation.
65 per cent own less than per
cent.
Industrial conditions are RESPONSE

Philip M. Clark, a Progressive lea
der in Massachusetts who, only two
wears ago, was able to poll $4,000 vot-
es when a candidate for district at
torney in his county, has come back
to Republican ranks. In liter to
the Republican State Committee ne
warns his former Progressive par
ty associates against confusing their
ideals with the continued existence
of a political party which the people
have decided to discard. Those who
led the Progressive party in its ear
ly days no longer lead; those who
control it's organization and shape its
course fail absolutely to inspire con-
fidence: its voters have vanished.
Mr.. Clark declares his continued faith
in Progressive principles, but be-
lieves they can be enacted into law
through the Republican party. THE
Democratic party" he says, lis at
heart reactionary; the best proof OF
its control has been absolute for the
many years. The Republican party
on the other hand, has a splendid re-
cord of progressive legislation, &C
complished not ouly in Massachusetts
but throughout the country. Recruit
ed as it is by the return of thousands
of ProgressiveS who have every
opportunity under our direct pri-
mary law to make themselves felt
in its conventions and in the selection
of it's candidates, it should be the par
ty of constructive accomplishment in
the future
