Long Prairie Man Says
Merchants Must Answer
Charges of Robbery

Chicago, Feb. 16.-H- E. Hart OF
Long Prairie, MIMI. speaking before
the Interstate Merchants council here
today, said that there seemed to be on
" one class of merchandise distribu-
with either the Democratic or Repub-
'lican administration and those are
the mail order houses"
IF the accusations Of the attorney
general against the retail merchants
were not inspired by the mail d
interests" he asked. by whom were
they inspired? What would it be
worth to the mail order interests to
have the public educated by the at
tprney generals and the radical news
rapers to believe that every time they
made q purchase at a retail store
they were being robbed? 1t would
mean millions of extra trade Tor h
mail order concerns.

"I believe, President Harding much
as I like him, made a mistake IN
choosing this man Daugherty as at
torney general because a lawyer is
supposed to know the law and law II
founded IN common and Justice,
beth of which seem to be lacking in
Daugherty. Mr.. D%augherty I believe
playing into the hands Of the mail or
der interests: are playing cheap poll
tics or are ignorant of true conditions.
And you can find the truth by looking
over the income tax returns by mer-
chants from all ~arts Of the United

association. told the Interstate Mer-
chants council today.

principal exports OF the corn belt"
by IS cents a hundred pounds. he as
serted.
'-The enhanced value of an average
crop to the middlewestern farmers,
through completion of the waterway
would total $500. 600 a year" he said.
THE farmer is also interested as a
buyer of manufactured goods from
our eastern territory, which, when we
improve the st. Lawrence river and
take full advantage of it and our
lakes for transportation can be
shipped with much saving from New
England factories to such points az
Ogdensburg, N. Y. and thence by wa.

to pay the entire cost.
without cost therefore to our tax
payers, we may add some 1000 mile
to our seacoast and thereby i'm

The discount rate of the Bank of
England has been five per cent since
November 3 last, when it was reduced
from the five and one-half per cent
rate established on the preceding
July 21. Today's action was forecast
in London dispatch last night in
which it vas pointed out that the
treasury had suspended temporarily
it's issue of five e cent treasury
bonds.
The highest rate was reached in
August 1914 after the outbreak of the
world war. when it was set at ten per
cent, which had only been equalled on
two previous occasions, those Of the
panics Of, 1857 and 1866. Since then
the rate has fluctuated, but the figure
set today is the lowest since the out
break of the war.
The reduction Of the bank rate was
primarily made possible by the re-
cen large reduction in the govern
ment's floating debt and currency
circulation, which contributed to the
nlethora of funds in the money mar
ket, permitting the placing of treas
ury bills at a lower rate and the sus-
pension of the 5 per cent bond issue,

among the expressions Of opinion by
the temporary editor was one on Ia
Dor Unions" It follows:
What a power labor unions could
WELD, if properly organized. and with
adjusted principles While the term
cause we all labor. yet we know there
Is strength in combined effort and
concentrated action. Il union men
could take pride in their shiIl-that
could not be matched against the in
different workmen. without loss to
the employers; in other words. if they
became so efficient. only union men
would be wanted on a job. They
would win from efficiency alone.
There should be a scale of wages
and every workman sent out should
carry a c4rd stating his ability to earn
glad we would be TO pay every man
honest pay for an honest days work.
instead of all men classed in the same
line CT work the same pay, regardless
Of their ability to earn.
of course. it seems hardly fair that
a man should lose his right of self
government, his personal liberty, be-
cause he belongs TO a union; but there
may be another side 20 that we do not
understand.
IF the unions would clean out the
radicals. establish a sraded scale of
TO take the job they no longer want
themselves, I hey would gain many
friends. In other words, they wo1ld
become so valuable to the employers
it would be Improbable to employ
any but union labor.
