BUILT UP COUNTRY
RECORD OF REPUBLICAN POLICY
OF PROTECTION.
Splendid Prosperity Now Universal
Throughout the Land the Direct
Result of Principle of Fos
tering Home Market.
The following from a recont speech
of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
well worth the reading:
"For half a century we have had
Republican policies. When the party
came into power there were few rail
ways, few factories and little popula
tion in the west. The western coun
try yielded grains and meats abund
antly, but there were no markets be
yond the requirements of new settlers.
The people were intellignt and saw at
one that home markets were needed.
It cost too much to send crops to
Europe. We wanted shops, forges,
factories and we got them by encour
aging them. A protective system was
adopted that, made a home market into
which the outside world lias wanted to
enter ever since. The Republican
policy then was to give protection
equal to the difference between the
cost of production at homo and
abroad.
"While we were building up our
manufacturing system the public lands
were being given to the people, which
resulted in very cheap food for many
years, not very profitable to the
farmers. Building transportation lines
to the Mississippi valley and beyond,
opening mines and increasing manu
factures resulted in complete settle
ment of the lands in the humid reg
ions of our country and has greatly
Increased population in all vocations
until home demand for food products
Is so great that prices are higher than
they have been. The farmers during
all these years have sustained the pro
tective system because it maintained
n home market for their products.
They paid more for their factory
goods, but they were made at home
and the maker bought farm crops.
Now it is proposed to let farm prod
ucts come in free or at lower rates.
The farmers of the country had
low prices for their crops, while free
lands were to be had for taking up.
The farmer endured high prices for
factory goods while these industries
were being developed and the west
was being settled. It now costs him
more than it did before. The land in
vestment Is greater and labor costs
much more. Is lie now to be put In
the same class as farmers in new ad
jacent countries and sell his goods in
nn open market in competition with
pioneers of other lands? We had ex
perience between 1893 and 1897 along
that line. The factory lost Its custo
mers because goods made chep.per
abroad came in. The farmer lost his
market because Idle factory people
could not buy.
"We have good times now, and have
had since McKinley became 'the ad
vance agent of prosperity.' Our coun
try is very prosperous. The revision
of the tariff has lost no man his job
who wanted to work; 110 panic has
followed."
The American Standard.
The Democratic idea that a tariff for
revenue only will let prices sink to
their natural level and the matter of
wages take care of itself in un-Repub
lican and un-American. This is a
market worth all the markets In the
world put together. The farmer has
his products to sell rnd the laboring
man has his one product—his labor—
to sell. Both must be protected if we
are to have prosperity. Keep the la
boring man at work at good wages and
he will have the money to buy the out
put of our farms and factories, and
all classes of our people w ill rejoice
and b" filad. Former President Itoose
veli the other day declared the Re
publican position In these words:
"This country has and this country
needs better paid, better i dueated,
better fed and In tter clothed working
men. of a higher type than are to be
found in any foreign country. It has
and it ui nds a higher, more vigor
ous and more prosperous type of 111-
Jerii of the soil than Is poss« ised by
any other country."
I'rotection and not a tariff for reve
nue only in what makes such u condi
tion possible and Insures its contin
uance.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1910.
PART OF WISDCM TO WAIT
Voters Should Consider Well Before
Trusting Guidance of Country
to the Democrats.
The Payne tariff act Is not perfect.,
therefore turn the country over to the
Democrats, is the Democratic cry. No
tariff act ever enacted was perfect.
No one ever claimed that the McKin
ley bill or the Dingley bill or the
Payne bill was perfect. There is a
difference, however, in the attitude of
the (wo parties. Hecause the Payne
law is not perfect, destroy protection
and return, as Champ Clark says, to
a revenue basis, is the Democratic at
titude. Because the Payne law is not
perfect, let us remove the imperfec
tions but preserve protection, is the
Republican attitude. The law itself
provides for a tariff board whose duty
it is to collect facts upon which to
base wise legislation to that end. This
was a point upon which there has
been and is 110 disagreement among
Republicans. Let 11s secure all the in
formation possible as to cost here and
abroad, and then if any rate is found
unjust change it in the Interest of our
own people. That is the Republican
position. It found expression in the
debates in congress where the per
plexities of tariff law preparation and
the certainty of Imperfections in the
completed measure were fully recog
nized. It finds expression now in
newspaper and speech and party plat
form. President Taft, former Presi
dent Roosevelt, Senator Cummins of
lowa, Congressman Sereno 13. Payne,
Congressman Norris of Nebraska and
hundreds of other Republican leaders
all agree that it is the part of wisdom
to await the report of the tariff hoard
with definite information and evidence
upon which to base an opinion and
then to act upon any schedule which
may be found to be wrong. They all
recognize the certainty of disaster to
the people of this nation that, would
follow Democratic supremacy and they
all appeal to their Republican friends
to stand together in this campaign
and light for Republican candidates
and Republican principles.
The Farmer and Politics.
Tt has been stated by veteran poli
ticians that the rural voter is better
informed on the issues pending in a
campaign, that he devotes greater and
more painstaking thought to the
things that must be settled at the
polls than his city brother. That is
why an overwhelming majority of the
farmers of this country vote the Re
publican ticket. They know that un
der Democratic administration they
have not been prosperous and that
they have been under Republican ad
ministration. It is not necessary to
remind any farmer of the dismal
years of Democratic tariff legislation.
This year there are more potent rea
sons than ever before for the farmers'
support of the Republican party. No
other class of persons in the United
States is so prosperous as they are.
Their prosperity since the return of
the Republican party to power 13
years ago has been astounding. It Is
' a matter of history that rural pros
! perity and Republican rule are eoin
j cident.
Get Together.
Republicans stop taking counsel
of their Democratic opponents.
i hem cease echoing the noisy and dis
cordant defamation of Republican
leaders by the Democratic press. Lot
them take counsel together as Repub
i 1 icans and take account of the splen
did traditions and achievements of
I their ureat party. How long since has
it been safe for a great army to be
guided by the information and advice
furnished by the enemy? In President
TaTt the Republican party has as wise
I and safe a leader as in him the coun
try hast great hearted, high-minded,
public-spirited president. The declara
tions of the Connecticut Republican
plat form in praise of the president
1 should tie repeated in substance in
J every Republican platform yet to bo
adopted Rochester Democrat and
; Chronicle.
More Than Actual Free Trade.

If Kiveu power the Democrats will re*
duc< the tariff to a revenue basis. Is
it worse tlir< at tliau one of absolute

"CAREER OF ONE KENTUCKIAN |
tucky to the position of secretary of state at
Frankfort; from the state capitol to a grated cell;
from the grated coll to the very shadow of the
m gallows; from the shadow of the gallows again to
112 t ' le grated cell; from the grated cell back to the
forests and the mountains of Kentucky; from the
j forests and mountains to the halls of congress at
1 ' ( lp; Washington. This in brief Is the history of Caleb
\
\ j MMfl candidate for congress from his district, which
\ is strongly Republican.
& Seldom does a human lifo contain so much of
\ struggle for advancement from humble begin
-1 nings, so much of tragedy and of pathos and so
,-/y - 'A remarkable a rehabilitation in public honor. Ca
leb Powers will be a remarkable figure in Wash
ington, because of the fact that for eight long years he was immured in a
prison cell fighting to escape life imprisonment or execution for a crime of
which half the people of Kentucky believe him guilty and the other half
believe him absolutely innocent.
The minds of newspaper readers will instantly go back to that tragic day
in January, 1000, when William Goebel was ruthlessly shot down from ambusli
as he was walking toward the state capitol at Frankfort. Goebel and W. S.
Taylor, the former a Democrat and the latter a Republican, had been oppos
ing candidates for governor and each claimed election. Taylor was given
the certificate of election and in possession of the capitol and Caleb Powers
was his secretary of state. As Goebel, whom the legislature on contest had
declared to be elected, walked across the grounds leading to the capitol he
was shot from the window of the office of the secretary of state. The murder
created a national sensation and for many years the state of Kentucky was
split into two bitter factions.
Following the tragedy there came a succession of trials in the course ol
which several men were found guilty of complicity in the murder and at least
one—Henry E. Youtsey—ls now serving a life sentence.
Caleb Powers was tried for murder and was sentenced to imprisonment
for life. He appealed, and a second trial resulted in another conviction and
a second sentence to life imprisonment. A third trial followed, and this
time he was sentenced to be hanaged. On the fourth trial the jury disagreed,
the majority being for acquittal.
Meantime eight years had rolled around and Powers was still in a prison
cell at Georgetown. A petition containing the names of hundreds of thou
sands of persons both in Kentucky and elsewhere was presented to the gover
nor and in 1908 Governor Willson granted Powers a full pardon.
GOTHAM'S QUEEN OF SILENCE
Mrs. Isaac L. Rice, the New York society worn
tan who fought single-handed to suppress unneces
sary noise in the metropolis and who accom
plished so much through her determination, ia
known as the "Queen of Silence." Mrs. Rice has
long been a sworn enemy of noise. Her beau
tiful Venetian palace on Riverside drive is so
located that, until she began her battle and won
out her ears were continually ringing with the
shrieks of the switch engines on the railroad
tracks that line the river front and with the
clamor of boat whistles. Along the East river
N are located two-thirds of the hospitals of the city
"?i anfi ,llis thoughtful woman realized what extra
\ " V-' '' f's suffering the sick must endure because of the
v A ' ' nerve-racking clamor. She began to gather evi
dence to prove her point and with the aid of Co
lumbia university students, who followed the boats and kept count, learned
that there were about 5,000 unnecessary but deafening shrieks each night
in the harbor. The harbor men were pleased to take umbrage at her inters
ference and proceeded to make lifo miserable for her till she secured law on
her side. During the night boats passing her home serenaded her with the
most horrible whistles and focused their flashlights upon the house.
Nothing daunted, the plucky woman secured an order from the secre
tary of commerce and labor forbidding unnecessary whistling on the river.
The harbor men persisting in their defiance, she had one man arrested, then
another, until finally the racket was quieted. This was only the beginning,
however. Mrs. Rice had gained the sympathy of all peace-loving citizens and
the Society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noise was organized. City
officials were and the fight continued against all superfluous racket
Peddlers, drivers, street organs, fiat-wheeled cars and noisy youths all came
in for a share of attention. Zones of quiet were drawn around hospitals and
at last peace reigned as much as possible in a huge city where a certain
amount of noise is unavoidable. The good work has been continued and has
spread not only to other cities in this country, but has been taken up in
European countries.
~J7A. TAWNEY OF MINNESOTA
r ■ An insurgent victory that has attracted a good,
. • • -. deal of attention throughout the country was the
-j&jg ' ■=' ''L....--, defeat in the primaries of Representative James
K&P A. Tawney, who was a canadidate for renomina
tßM* in,. -J tion in the first congressional district of Minne-
Wmd-.A' j jf sota. Tawney is one; of the most Influential rep
resentatives in congress, is chairman of the com
-1 mittee on appropriations. A most determined
\MJfjmty /j* i fight was waged against his renomination and the
PWml 111 insurgents had the support and advice of ltoose
• •''tflHT ft I ' y elt, Plnchot, James J. Heney and other expo
- J nents of progressive Republicanism.
s In his early days Tawney was a blacksmith
x and machinist, learning the trades In Pennsylva-
n ' a ' w '"' r( ' he WUB born In 1855. near the village
' I (>f Gettysburg. Subsequently he removed to Wi
nona, Minn., where he worked four years at his
trade, ut the same time studying law. In 1882 ho was admitted to the bar,
was later sent to the state senate, and in 18!):: was elected to congress, in
which he has since served.
Tawney is a dark, almost swarthy man, with a piercing black eye and a
black mustache, now streaked with gray. When Cannon made him chairman
of the committee on appropriations lie did so because of the strength of char
aeter and firmness which Tawney hud displayed, often the speaker referred
to him as the"man of iron," a not unfitting title. As chairman of the appro
priations committee Tawney was regarded as the watchdog of the treasury,
bet lie was one of the strongest stand putters In the house, and hence the
declaration of war upon him by the insurgents.

A LITTLE TOO PRIMITIVE
Shower Bath Arrangement Something
of a Shock to the
Participant.
August Belmont, at a dinner in Sara
toga, praised the seaside towns ot
New England.
"But some of them," he added, "are
a little too primitive. "I remember a
story about the primitive town of
Rockford. Rockford had a rough bath
ing establishment, with a shower bath.
You stood in your bathhouse and
pulled a rope and a deluge of cool wa
ter descended from the ceiling.
"Well, a lady visitor stood one day
in her bathhouse, ready for the show
er. She pulled the rope and braced
herself, but no shower followed. She
gave the rope another tug, when the
gruff voice of the sailor proprietor of
the establishment sounded from aloft.
" 'Stand a p'int more to the nor-east,
mum,' it said, 'if ye want to get the
full force.'
"And the horrified lady, looking up,
saw the old sailor frowning impa
tiently through a hole in the ceiling
and tilting a barrel of sea water for
the shower.
Managing a Husband.
Men are like children; they want
managing, although you must never
let them dream that you think so. No
child likes to be ordered about, no
man will endure coercion. But man
aging! It is an art so subtle, so elu
sive, that few women'understand even
the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let
us reason together, says Woman's
Life. In every human being there is
a spark of the divine; it is yours to
fan that spark into a flame—that is
managing a man—it is to get the very
best out of him there is to have, and
not two women in ten can do it.
I)o not think that there Is anything
unworthy in managing a man to
I bring nut the best Is a high vocation.
I Only let us see to it that wo are
worthy of it. There are women who
have made angels of men. but at thu
cost of their own divinity. There Is
room for more than one unselfish per
son In a family.
