The Farmer and the Tariff.
In the last House of Representatives,
Congressman Martin of South Dakota
compared the advantageous position
of the farmer now with what his posi
tion was in 1897 under the operation
of a Democratic Tariff law.
He showed that a bushel of corn in
1897 would purchase 7 pounds of sugar;
now it will purchase 16 pounds of sugar.
He followed this with other compari
eone. Twelve years ago a bushel of
corn would purchase 5 gallons of il
luminating oil; now it will pucchase 11
gallons. Expressed in purchasing
value in coffee, in 1897 a bushel of corn
would purchase 3 pounds of coffee;
now it will purchase 9 pounds of coffee.
A bushel of corn in 1897 would pur
chase 18 pounds of barbed wire with
which to fence in the farm; to-day it
will purchase 33 pounds. The average
hog in 1897 would buy 91 pounds of
granulated sugar, now it will buy 192
pounds. That hog in 1907 would buy
65 gallons of illuminating oil; now it
will buy 130 gallons. In 1867 the hog
bought 42 pouDds of coffee, now it
it will buy 116 pounds of coffee. In
1897 it would buy 227 pounds of barbed
wire; now it will buy 587 pounds.
The steadfast claim of believers in
the Protective Tariff always has been
that it would benefit the farmer at leas
as much as any other member of the
community by making for him a home
market in which he would be able to
sell his products near at hand, at good
prices, instead of being obliged to send
the bulk of them across the sea, to com
pete with the offerings from other
countries in a foreign market. The
advantage of the home market to the
farmer was not overestimated nor
overstated.
The American farmer owes a great
deal to the Tariff, and would be a seri
ous loser if the Tariff were blundering
ly altered.—Milwaukee "Wisconsin."

The Circus.
Frank A. Hobbin's all feature
Mhows were in our city on Wednes
day. It was truly an old fashioned
circus, and they drew large crowds
to the various entertainments. This
show was a clean and good produc
tion. The men who were connected
with it, so far as we met them, were
gentlemen. The show in itself was
beyond the average circus. We heard
many people say, who had visited
the larger shows, that this was the
best for the money that they had ever
atteuded.
The parade in the forenoon was
the beat show parade we have ever
had in town It was about a half
mile long aud was tilled with variety
There were three bands in the proo«<e

The acrobatic performances, the

Cost of Maintaining a Tubercu
losis Sanitorium.
In a preliminary bulletin on the cost
of maintaining a tuberculosis sanitori
um, the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
announces today that the average cost
per patient per day in thirty semi
charitable sanatoria scattered in all
parts of the United States is $1,669.
These institutions represent an annual
expenditure of over $1,300,000 and over
815,000 days of treatment given each
year. The bulletin, which is part of
an extensive study the National Asso
ciation is making for it* bureau of in
formation, points out how the country
could save annually at least $150,000,-
000, if the indigent consumptives were
properly segregated.
It was found that the food cost in
most institutions represented one
third of the annual expenditures.
The average daily food cost per pa
tient was $0,544. The expenditures for
salaries and wages represented nearly
another third, being $0,481 per day
per patient out of a total of $1,669.
The fuel, oil and light cost was $0,206
per capita per diem or about one
eightb of the total cost.
The daily cost in the several insti
tutions ranged all the way from $0,946
per patient to $2,555. In the far West
and South-west, as in Colorado and
New Mexico and California the cost
was higher than in the East, in New
York and New England, being $2,025
per patient as against $1,748.
The total expenditures of the thirty
institutions were $1,363,953.28, while
the total receipts from all sources were
$1,428,525.74. More than 70 per cent
of the receipts were received from
public funds and private benefactions,
only 28.8 per cent being from patients.
Stated in another way, only 35 per
cent of the total expenditures were re
ceived from patients, the remainder
being made up from other sources.
Computing that there are in the
United States at least 300,000 indigent
consumptives who should be cared for
in charitable or semi-charitable sana
toria and hospitals, the National Asso
ciation estimates that the annual cost
to the country for the treatment of
these persons would be $50,000,000 at
at the rate of $1 669 per day per pa
tient. At the lowest possible estimate,
the country loses $200,000,000 a year
from the iucujacity of these indigent
victims of tuberculosis. This would
mean a net saving of $150,000,000 a
year to the United States if all the cas
es of consumption who are too poor
to afford proper treatment in expen
sive sanatoria were cared for at the
expense of the inunripa.ity, county or
State And this annual gain does not
include the enormous saving that
would accrue from the lessened infec
tion due to the segregation of the dan
gerous consumptives in institutions.

Circus Made Good.
The Frank A. Bobbins show was in
this city last Thursday for two per
formances, pitching their tents on the
Davis property at the foot of N. Mer
cer street.
While tbe circus is not a large one,
only one ring, it is one of the best
shows that has struck this city in years.
The parade while good, doen not give
a fair idea of the show, for there was
not an old stunt offered, with some
thing doing every minute to please
and entertain.
The Bobbins show started out as a
wagon show years ago and grew to the
proportions that a railroad show was
the next step. That was away back in
IHB6. During those years the owner \
aud proprietor made a reputation for
himself and his enterprise which he
has not allowed time to tarnish.
At the performance Thursday after- '
noon the tent was well tilled and iu
the eveuiug the seating capacity was
taxed to the limit, and the remarks of
approval over the performance were
universal.—Ureenville, Pa., Progrmst,
July 22, 1910.
This popular show will visit Em

Paving Completed.
Contractors Costello & Neagle have
completed the Broad street paving
from P. &E. ft. R. to Fifth street.
The completion of the work has cer
tainly added to the appearance great
ly of that nice broad street, being
eighty feet in width. A cheaper and
better piece of work was never laid in
this section of the State and while
there has been quite a little opposi
tion to the improvement, we believe,
like the history of all towns, all will
agree that we should have commenced
paving years ago.
Engineer A. H. Shaffer, in charge of
the work certainly has devoted four
months of hard work in order that
Emporinm should have a piece of pav
ing equal to none—a substantial, last
ing and at a price far below that of
any other town in this section of the
State. With all this time and close
daily attention, his compensation has
been at a surprisingly low price—so
low that all connected with the work
were surprised.
A detailed statement of the entire
cost of paving and storm sewer will be
about $12,400.00. Of this amount about
$5,000.00 will be paid back to the Bor
ough, thereby reducing the actual cost
to tbe Borough of $7,400.00.
Let the improvements continue and
not cease until the main street
(Fourth) shall be paved from Wood
land Avenue to the Junction, by a
vote of the people if necessary. The
expense can be taken care of by the
issuance of long time bonds, issued
for twenty-flve years, bearing four per
cent, interest. The increase of the bor
ough valuation each year will soon
create a sinking fbnd and the tax levy
need be low. What our neighboring
towns are doing Emporium can do.
An example are the hustling towns of
! Ridgway and Johnsonburg, who have
floated long time bonds, can easily, be
followed by Emporium. These towns
never commenced to grow until mud
streets were abandoned. In fact a
town does not amount to a hill of
beans until it puts on an air of pros
perity and public spiritedness.
When Peter Herdic pushed through
public improvements for Williams
port, many years ago, he waa cussed
and hounded, but today every Wil
liamsporter will tell you, "Peter Herdic
made Williamsport."
W® hope Emporium may produce a
Peter Herdic.
