will hold the price DOWN. But the
fact Of the matter is that large manu-
facturers are now in the Kentucky
fields bidding for coal, to keep their
plants going, and the price of the
commonest grade has jumped from
81 to about 81 at the mine.
Union coal miners in Illinois are
now moving to the southern coal
states, which use non-union labor, and
the union officials raise no objection.
Mine stores in Illinois, owned by the
coal mine companies, are reported to
be giving credit to the striking min
ers. If this is true it shows that mine
owners and union leaders are not I'M
| friendly.
The strike is expected to continue
to September and perhaps into Os-
tober. By that time cold weather will
be here and there will be fight for
coal. No need to relate what will hap
pen to prices.
The people are in for another siege
Of war prices, and every family in
Cape Girardeau will feel the effect.
II the coal mines were all under the
supervision of the State Public Ser
vice Commission, the public would be
sitting tight. The price could not be
raised cent.
The gas plant in Cape Girardeau is
today paying twice as much for coal
as it paid in March, and still the price
of gas is the same. What would be
the price Of gas if the Public Service
Commission did not have the power
to regulate it?
The electric light plant is paying
twice as much for coal today as it
paid in April. What would be the
price of electricity and electric power
if the utilities company made its own
price?
AS gas and electricity are made
from coal, why not have the Public
Service Commission regulate the price
Of coal?
Every house in Cape Girardeau uses
coal, but not all of them use electricity
or gas. Therefore, it would be of far
mere benefit to all the people to have
the price of coal regulated by the
Public Service Commission.

has been at work, but it is undeniable
that wages have been Debated good
deal faster than the cost Of living. AS
matter of fact, such dehation as has
occurred in prices will be largely, if
not wholly, wiped out should the pend
ing tariff bill be passed. That is our
plight four years after the close of the
war.
When the war ended the world was
sick, economically, industrially, NOR
ally and temperamentally. Of that
world we are a component part. Con-
gress chose to shut it's eyes to that
fact. In consequence the infiamma-

has suffered has finally spread on US
The inflammation can still be reduced
by sensible local applications, but a

If the present administration can
not see that reconstruction, to be eff
fective, must be conducted on a world
scale, then the people must, in due
time, elect an administration that can
see this truth-an administration with
vision to see that 1914 is date in an
cient history and that the problems of
the new age require new solutions

to enable certain manufacturers to
make greater profits through the
law and expand fiotatioi1s.
The attempt in this case Of a few
manufacturers to write their own yarn
schedule--no request for the increase
except from an intensely interested
source could be shown--was defeated,
but in how many other cases have
similar attempts been successful?
Easily grasped conditions in the bus
mess world made the purpose Of these
amendments very plain, but the bill
is full Of details of like purpose,
though the intricacies of the measure
enable it more readily to be disguised.
If, like notorious European dynasty,
leaders of long service in Congress
have returned to the task of tariff
making without having learned any
thing, unlike that dynasty, they seem
to have forgotten everything-forgot-
ten tariff history not so very remote
that has many tragic pages for their
party.
The bill is fundamentally wrong
would have been wrong if enacted
decade or more ago, and, in view of
vast changes in world trade and
finance, is little less than landmark
Of political faulty now. It can be de-
Tended neither in the counting room
nor on the stump. Economically, it is
unsound as a whole and unsound in
its parts. Politically it is-but how
can its possibilities of political dis
aster be described in terms which
deaf leaders will heed and under
stand? Since the revolt renewed
movement for the Frelinghuysen plan
for reorganized Tariff Commission
and scientifically determined schedules
is reported. That is a promising plan,
but 1t must not be supposed that any
saving grace to be looked for in the
future from the incorporation of that
plan will render campaign denuncia-
tions Of the motives and handiwork
revealed in the schedules-if enacted
as they stand-any less appealing to
a disillusioned and sensitive consum-
ing public.
What does this hopeful revolt
mean? 1t shows that the views of
large part of the press which has been
criticised as unfairly attacking the
bill are shared by peculiarly repre-
sentative party leaders. But what
does it mean in the recasting and per-
manent improvement of the entire
bill? That weighty tariff decisions
should have been postponed until
strike problems and distinctively leg
islative problems have created YER
liable jam in Congress is perfectly in
excusable, but it will be better to pass
no bill at all than to pass one that is
not right-Globe-D Democrat.

BOGUS AID TO AGRICULTURE

The trump card of the Republican
orator these days is labeled "Aid to
Agriculture" No one knows why,
least of all, the farmer. He is fully
aware that the misnamed emergency
farm tariff" did not give him one iota
of relief, he has no decisions that the
present tariff bill with its thin pen
MES for agriculture and its thick dol
lars for Big Business will be Of any
greater help. The War Finance Cor
poration which has assisted agricul-
ture cooperative marketing associa-
tons was created by President Will
son, strangled by Republican Con-
gress because it was the child of a
Democratic administration, and born
again as a Republican child. The
Federal Reserve Bank and the Farm
Loan Bank, the two agencies which
have been the sole cause Of easier
credits, both were created under a
Democratic administration. The Cap
peri incher futures act, denounced by
many economists as hitting grain
price sterilization in vital point, is
the sole bit of outstanding agricul-
tural legislation accomplished by a
Republican Congress, and it has been
declared unconstitutional by the Su-
preme Court of the United States.
And yet McCumber, Capper and all
the rest of 'em continually harp on
what the Republican party has done
for agriculture. They speak in gen.
eral terms. They have to. Pinned
down and asked for specific accomp-
1selax ote IN n
mire of meaningless words.
"What has the Republican party
done for agriculture? What will it
have accomplished when the perma-
nent tariff finally is passed? For an
swer to the second question, we quote
from a recent editorial in the Wall
Street Journal of New York, a news
paper which certainly cannot be ac-
cused of having biased Democratic
learnings:
"The farmer has been given a tar
i'll which, aside from wool, will not
increase the price of his products and
at the cost of making a hole under
meath his gate to let in trespassers.
The pig on the other side which is
roofing its way under is called "Per-
manent Tariff" When it gets in, let
the farmer beware.
when the farmer boys buy a saw,
shovel, scythe, corn knife or tool of
any kind, he will pay heavy tax. He
will use a tariff taxed hammer to
drive a tariff taxed nail into tariff
taxed fence board.
"When he harnesses his horses that
stand on tariff-taxed shoes, he should
know that every snap and buckle of
that harness is taxed. Even the but.
tons and buckles, the snaps and hooks
and eyes of his own and his wife's
clothes are taxed. When he buys a
roll of barbed wire, pillow or a now
ing machine, the tariff tax on the
steel and iron of which it is made
will be passed on to him. Directly or
indirectly he will pay a tax on cloth
ing, furniture, kitchen utensils, med
icine and nearly everything he uses"
And yet the Republican orators have
the audacity to call the present tariff
measure help to the farmer. A help
it is
A help toward bankruptcy.-Steel-
vile Ledger.

THE FRUITS OF FAILURE

The difficulties which beset and
threaten to wreck the Harding admin
istration are changeable only in part
to the President. Their real genesis
dates back to the Congress elected in
the fall of 1918. The duty of that
| Congress was reconstruction and q
Republican majority was returned be-
cause Republican spellbinders per-
suaded us that their party was the
party Of efficiency and -eminently
qualified to meet the exacting, prac-
teal requirements of the hour.
That Congress failed abjectly. The
one piece of constructive legislation
was the transportation act and it is
doubtful if that act would have been
passed if President Wilson, after
granting one extension OF time, had
not fixed date for the return Of the
railroads to private management, re-
gardless..
Instead of devoting it's energies to
the work of reconstruction the Re-
publican leaders of that Congress
concentrated on the political program
of defaming and undermining the
Wilson administration and restoring
the Republican party to full power.
1t achieved remarkable political sue
cess, but in every other respect the
record is story of delinquency.
The extraordinary capacity for do
ing nothing has been handed down to
the present Congress. The results
that seethe and rage around us are
the unacceptable heritage of evasion,
incapacity and an appalling lack of
understanding and vision.
Without leadership, without SER
vice, without purpose other than the
foolish day dream of "getting back to
normally, we have drifted aimlessly
into the present whirlpool.
1t may be that the restlessness, dis
satisfaction, turmoil and violence
through which we have successfully
passed was an unavoidable aftermath
of war, but surely it could have been
|allayed to great extent if the Cow
eminent at Washington had institut-
ed the economies it had promised and
had theoretically undertaken to COM
mand popular confidence and respect.

ing of real moment has been accom-
plished, with the important exception

A HOPEFUL RESULT

The immediate cause of a revolt of
Republican Senators against the tar
if ideas which the present Congress
has so far followed, was an issue that
arose Unexpectedly over details of
the cotton schedule. In quick sue
cession four Finance Committee tex
tile amendments increasing the House
rates on coarse yarns, finer yarns,
bleached yarns and on cotton waste
were voted down. No less than four
teen Republican Senators joined Che
negative side on one or more of the
four votes. A point strongly empha-
sized is that these fourteen Senators
were so distributed among the differ
ent factions in Congress as to be I'M
usually representative of the party at
large. They included not only EARN
Bloc" and progressive Senators, but
men like New of Indiana, Wadsworth
Of New York, Willis of Ohio, Town
send of Michigan, Mccormick of H.
inois, Cummins of Iowa.
The merit Of the issue which re-
suited in these fourteen Senators
abandoning the party leaders on the
bill was pointedly and, it may be be-
lieved, truthfully defined by Senator
Simmons. He declared that despite
the low duties of the present Under
wood lay, American manufacturers
are competing so successfully with
foreigners in some classes of the
yarns that we export ten times as
much of them as we import and the
gross imports amount to only cne-half
of l per cent. Of cotton waste moth
ing is imported except small quanti-
ties from the Philippines that enter
duty free. The inference seemed JUS
titled that the increase in duties was

Republican administration, and to
bear out the truth of the story, the
shipper sends along his shipping re-
ceipt to verify his statement.
F. W. Graham, of Cabool, was the
shipper of three calves which weighed
when shipped $50 pounds; they fat
tened 20 pounds enroute from the re-
turns, and the shipper was credited
with 1925 for the three little limo
cent calves which suffered from the
normally period, but the returns also
showed the following charges: freight,
insurance and inspection, IS cents;
yardage, rs cents; commission, Sc
cents; total charges, 1925, with note
added that shipper was indebted to
manager in the amount of l cent at
Farmers Exchange.
Poor shipper will have to send in
another calf and that may put him
further in the hole. Do you remem-
Der of ever hearing of anything like
that under Democratic administra-
ton? Facts and figures here to prove
all this and yet the G. o. P. claims to
be the party of prosperity. Two
calves shipped brought % IL cents
each and now comes another ship
ment in which the poor fellow owes
one cent for the privilege of shipping.
The poor man and the Republican
party should be strangers forever
more.-Houston Herald.
