upon an administration courageous enough to attack the monster in it's lair. Now, in the last days of the campaign, when reason is thrown to the four winds and the fight is nar- rowed down to the last trench, Any thing to beat Wilson" becomes again the order of the day and the workers are told that they must repeal the Underwood tariff or go back to the soup kitchens.
 Without defending a tariff that is destined to be revised and made fair .and just by the non-partisaa tariff commission, which MT. Wilson promises to appoint whether re- elected or defeated, it is we'll to look into the logic of this argument which claims that worl1ingmen under high protective tariff receive higher wages than those who labor under a low tariff. >The argument in a nut shell is this: In projected industries higher wages are paid to laborers in the United States than to those work ing in similar industries in Europe therefore protection causes high wages and it's withdrawal tends to make pau pers of the working class in America On the face of it, that argument looks good; but it overrides certain weighty considerations, the first of which Is that equally high wages are paid in unprotected as in protected industries. The unprotected industries in the United States of which farming, rail- road1ng, mining, and some branches of manufacturing belong, are vastly more important than some of the few industries seeking prohibitive and high protective tariff. The second consideration Is that men who em- p1oy labor, whether the concerns they conduct are protected or unprotected, are human beings and desire to pro- duoe dividends To this end, they will employ labor cheap1y as they pos protective tariff that forces them to pay higher wages than are prevalent l in the community where the indus l try thrives. The Dingley Act of 1897 ] highly protective policy has been car r1ed in the United States and it did not guarantee to any laboring man any other privilege than a ten hour l
 
 The Dtngley Act, or the Payne-Ald- l rich Act, or any of these various in l struments of trade control, could not | guarantee, nor were they designed to | guarantee, anything for the working ! man, for the simple reason that em- l ployers in protected industries buy ! labor as a commodity and pay not one l whit more than the market demands. l Such wages do not depend upon the protective tariff. The third considera- ton upon the wages argument is that wages and protection do not neces- sanly go hand In hand, and the records show that they have not. The very men who argue for a high pro- teotfve tariff for this country claim 1 they must have 1t to exclude the goods l of Europe where cheap labor abounds l They are fearful most of all to con- pete with the cheap labor of Germany and we know that Germany has a high protective tariff or did have be- fore the war; yet, wages in protec- tionist Germany are lower than in free trade England. It can be readily seen that the wages argument can never be welcomed into the realm of thinking men, can never enjoy repute with trained students of economics, however effective it may be in politi- cal campaigns.

NEW YORK, Jan. IL, 1916.

The past week has seen the cleaning
up of whatever portion of the 1915 On
ondaga crop remained unsold up to that
time. There was quite a scramble for
the tobacco. One New York packing
house is credited with having absorbed
a large portion of the crop, the re-
mainder being taken by local packers.
Warehouses are operating all over the
county, and the 1915 crops of cigar leaf
are being put into shape. Nothing has
developed thus far that would change
the idea which the trade at large has
of this tobacco. The crops, practically
without exception, were raised under
adverse conditions, and in no state has
prime crop been raised. Without
doubt there is some good tobacco in
every crop, but the proportion of good
is less than normal. Receiving time is
said to be bringing many headaches
this year.-Leaf.

LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. II, 1916.
The meeting held last week by the
Lancaster. County Tobacco Growers
Association afforded an excellent op-
portunity for rejecting the feeling of
the great men of the county's growers
on the prices of the 1915 crop. They
have been told that they lost quarter
million dollars by not holding out for Ii
cents, which they would have received
by waiting only a few weeks longer.
It is no secret that they were booked
to receive very much less than the 10
and cents they got for the crop, be-.
cause it is felt that it is not worth those
figures. The writer inquired Of one of
the firms buying most heavily of the
new crop why more was paid for the
tobacco than it was considered to be
worth, and was informed that it was
done as pure matter of policy, to pre-
vent any material reduction of the
acreage in this county, as would have
been the case had too low price been
paid for this crop.
Just now the growers, with favorable
weather for handling the tobacco, are
stripping it as fast as possible and de-
livering it with the least delay. The
grower wants the cash and the packer
wants the goods as soon as he can get
it. 1t is matter of fact that big lot
Of it is not coming up to the contract,
and the growers as rule admit that
they cannot strip according to contract.
The warehouses all over the county are

A satisfactory volume of business
seems to animate the leaf market.
Very little dullness was perceptible
during the inventory period. Of course,
large transactions cannot materlaliZe
for the very reason of the lack of large
marketable stocks in any hands. New
ertheless, the market seems to worry
in spite of the running continued ac
tivity. 1t is borrowing trouble from
the prospects of the new crops, which
are believed to be neither large enough
nor perfect enough to meet the de-
mands of consumption. But that worry
is more imaginary than of substantial
basis When the marketing time of the
new crops arrives, and the cigar indus
try has in the meantime shown pro-
gressive advances, the nagging about
the insufficiency and imperfection of
the new crops will disappear in the
general necessity of new leaf supply.
The market has had like experiences
many times before. There were times,
and not SO very long distant, either,
when crops of certain states remained
untouched for two or three years.
Either because they were held to be
defective and ValueleSS or because a
general depression and retrogression in
the cigar industry made buyers reluc-
tant to touch them. And yet all at
once demand sprang up and the ac-
cumulated stocks of two or three years
vanished in less than no time at larger
increased profits for the investors.
Only lately the Pennsylvania crops
were neglected for two years and now
they cannot be had any more for love
or money. The disqualified virtues of
those crops revealed themselves when
necessity rose for their consumption.
And so it will be with last years crop,
too. With business moving along in
the steady and unabated pace, as it
does now, the market need not borrow
any trouble in it's present state of con-
tentment. journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS.,, Jan. %, 1916.
A genuine January thaw has brought
full week of casing weather during
which the tobacco growers were given
every opportunity to remove the bal
ance of their hanging crop in excellent
condition. The week has also been fav-
orable for the work of stripping, at
which the growers are now busily en-
gagged or have completed so that the
delivery of where sales have been
made can now proceed. There is con-
siderable buying being done on stem
ming goods basis, but we learn of very
little effort made to take over goods
that might be handled for binder pur-
poses. At least none of the large op-
orators are increasing their holding to
any extent.
In old leaf we learn of no transac-
tions of Importance, though several
trades under consideration may yet be
put through. Packers report good
demand for both binder and filler
grades.
The breaking up of the country roads
is interfering with the receiving of the
crop somewhat.
The shipments out of storage reach
about 7OOcs and four cars of bundles to
all points since last report.

One of the large packers of tobacco,
who generally does business in all the
cigar leaf states running into thousands
of cases, recently said on visit here
that he would not put up pound of
the 1915 crop in any state this year.
He considered last seasons cigar leaf
crop the poorest tobacco the country
over ever grown While in some states
he might take chance and possibly
make a dollar or SO case, he was as
suming risk of far greater losses and
he considered it good business to drop
out for year. By loading up with
old leaf which could be secured at rea-
sonable figures he could carry his Gus
toners along for a year without any
worries about the outcome of the 1915
crop. 1t is quite usual thing for
packer who has been long in the leaf
trade to stay out of the market in every
cigar leaf state for season, but poor
tobacco is hardly ever considered a
good investment in any event.

claimed by some ministers that young
people are kept out of the Methodist

are driven out The movement will
be vigorously opposed by prominent
leaders, who will not give in an inch
to worldllness.

INSPIRATION.

The program of the memorial SER
vices of Hiawatha lodge No. S24, 10y
al Order of Moose, was rendered be-
fore large audience Sunday after
noon at the Grand theatre.
The feature of the services was the
memorial address given by Attorney
Chester A. Neck of Bucyrus. The
thought Mr.. Neck brought out in his
speech was that, while the departure
of our loved ones for the great be-
yond causes sadness, the Creator of
all things knows best and their lives
should serve as an inspiration to the
living to continue in the struggle for
the betterment of humanity.
"In comparison to his strength is
the obligation of every man to pro
tect the weak and unfortunate" said
Mr.. Neck. "Every man is his broth
er's keeper and the lives of those who
struggled for the furtherance of the
noble aims of humanity and who now
have passed into the great unknown
will serve as an inspiration to the re-
naming brothers to carry on the
work until the last call comes and
the universal brotherhood of man be-
comes reality"

banquet speech declared that Presi-

that Taft had been "pussy-footing'

he is against 1t. However, it seems
that the ex-secretary is in accord with

Terminates With Retirement
Of Agent ]. c. Patterson
B. s 0. LOSES SERVANT
OF Marked Ability and One Whose
Life is a Series Of Promotions
From Brakeman Up-Local
Agent for 81 Years

Over half century of continuous,
conscientious, loyal and efficient SER
vice is the record which John G. Pat
terson whose retirement from active
duties as ticket agent of the B. &c o.
station of this city took effect Mon
day, leaves behind him.
OF the hfty-four years and one
month which Mr.. Patterson has de-
voted to the interests of the railroad,
81 years have been spent in Mt. Yer
non, first as freight agent and pas
senger agent and later, when two Of
fees were created from one, in the
capacity from which he has just re-
tired.
During this period of veteran SER
vice, Mr.. Patterson has constantly
held the affairs of the b. &c o. upper
most in his mind and his capabilities
in the various positions he has held
have excited the admiration of those
officials of the road who place a high
value and esteem upon faithfulness
and ability and have marked him as
one of the very efficient agents of the
local b. & o. division.
1t was on April 1, 1862, that Mr.,
Patterson first entered the employ of
the Baltimore g. Ohio when he as
sumed the position Of brakeman on
the Columbus & Ohio River division
of the road, running out of GAINESVILLE.
He worked at this labor for nine
months and then was promoted to the
position of freight conductor which
he occupied for two and one-half
years.
Advanced in May, 1865, to the Of
fee of ticket agent at GAINESVILLE, he
remained there for two years and
one-half and then became clerk OF
freight in the main offices of the local
division in Newark, where he stayed
for eleven years.
On the eighteenth day of Septem
Der, 1878, Mr.. Patterson was again
promoted, this time becoming freight
and ticket agent at Mt. Vernon. He
efficiently discharged his combined
| duties until the new b, & o. station
was built in this city when the of
! fees we're separated and Mr. Patter'
son became ticket agent. His stay in
this city covers period of 81 years
Many of the patrons of the b. & o
here will seriously miss the familiar
face of Mr., Patteron from now on, but
will welcome Mr.. Patterson's success
sor, Agent Ryhart of Bellville, who
has assumed his duties. Mr., Ryhart
is full of endeavor and energy and
will do much toward filling the place
vacated by Mr. Patterson's retire
ment
Mr.. Patterson does not plan to de
anything In the future more serious
than home gardening, for which he
has IA great love and to which he has
devoted himself for number o
years when not busy with his duties
