WHY HOGS ARE HIGH
PEOPLE HAVE THE MONEY TO
PURCHASE MEAT.
Well-Paid American Workers Are
Able to Eat All the Hog# the
Farmers Can Raise —Some
Pertinent Facts.
The lowa farmer is selling hie hogs
at nine dollars per hundred or more.
What enables him to receive such a
price?
The answer is that the people of the
United States are practically all em
ployed In occupations which give back
fair returns. The people have the
money with which to buy pork.
Why do the people of the United
Btates have plenty to do?
The answer is they have plenty to
do because they produce nearly every
thing which they wear or use. They
do not import from China, Japan and
India the products of the cheapest
labor in the wond.
If the American ports were all
thrown open in the Interest of the
consumer to give him cheap goods,
the consumer would be the first man
Injured. The consumer is carried in
the imagination as a man who draws
a salary. If all our manufactured
products were made In other lands,
he would not be drawing a salary.
He would be out of employment.
Under no circumstances could he com
pete with China, Japan or even France
or Belgium.
Why are cattle and hogs cheaper in
Canada than in the states? The an
swer is Canada does not have people
enough to consume he" own products.
She must ship abroad. Give Canada
people enough to consume her own
products and certain classes of farm
ing will be just as profitable in Can
ada as In the states.
When the Canadian farmer has all
he can do to grow the necessary prod
acts for Canada he will become a
rich man.
Why is cattle and grain growing
In Argentine and Australia not r.s
profitable as in the United States?
The answer is the farmers of Ar
gentine and Australia are compelled
to ship all their surplus products
abroad. If the people of Argentine
and Australia were in sufficient num
bers to consume all their own prod
ucts every farmer in those countries
would grow rich.
The question is now up to the
American farmer relative to the sur
render of the American market to the
foreign manufacturer.
When that is done, ihe American
farmer will find himself on an equal
ity with the farmers in Australia and
Argentine. They have plenty of prod
ucts, but no consumers.
By the influence of the free traders
there is no duty upon the higher
priced gloves for ladies. As a conse
ouence all such gloves are made in
France. There is a protective duty
on men's gloves, and they are made
in America. The manufacturers of
gloves for ladles are growing rich on
the open American market. The
large department stores In New York
and Chicago are the manufacturers
of gloves for ladies and their fac
tories are in France. *" jey are ma
king millions out of their free-trade
privileges. This same thing would
happen In other industries if put to
the test. The only difference would be
that If free trade were adopted In re
lation to all manufactured products,
the American market would not be so
good as it is now, for the people
would not have the means with which
to buy.
The lowa farmer would be broken
hearted If he were notified today that
the price of hogs had gone down to
$3.50 per hundred. The lowa farmer
had better think this question over
regardless of any particular friends
he may have among the politicians
What is friendship to a farmer
when the price of his hogs might go
down from $9 to (ISO?
if the Democrats visit the penalties
of the lower tariff on the peopto of
lowa they will soon he found pravlng
for the rocks and mountains to Tall
upon them to hide them Dee Moines
Capital
Some New Tall.
"The history of the Democratic
Tarty has been a long story of flirting
with unsound finance. In the old
days It was state hanks. In the 70's It
wan flat money. In the 90 s It was an
attempt to dilute th.. honest dollar
with silver, and l»M It was the guar

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1910,
PUTS THE ISSUE SQUARELY
Col. Roosevelt Sets Forth the Position
of the Parties on the Tariff
Question.
Ex-President Roosevelt gave the Re
publican tariff doctrine in his St.
Louis speech as follows:
"Now, my friends, one of the ques
tions about which there has been
much discussion the last year or so Is
the tariff, and it seems to me that,
from our standpoint, from the ltepub
llcan standpoint, the issue is much
clearer than some people would have
us believe. I cheerfully admit that
there was a time when, if our oppo
nents had acted with reasonable wis
dom they might have caused us some
trouble; but they proved worthy of
the trust that we have had in them,
and they did not act with reasonable
wisdom; they let the opportunity go
by, and now I think matters have
cleared so that we can state our posi
tion in a way that will entitle us not
only to the support of all the mem
bers of our own party, but to the sup
port of all independent and progres
sive citizens.
"The Republican party is united on
the doctrine officially set forth ln iti
national platform two years ago, that
the tariff shall be such as substantial
ly to equalize the cost of production
here and abroad. As the cost of pro
duction is labor cost, this means pri
marily that the duties should be great
enough to continue to give our labor
ing men that higher standard of liv
ing which primarily distinguishes the
American wage worker from the wage
worker of other and less fortunate
countries. Now, not only Is this the
doctrine of the Republican parly, but
I believe It is the doctrine of the over
whelming majority of the American
people. If our opponents do not be
lieve that I most earnestly hope they
will mako the fight squarely on that
issue."
Why Democratic Success?
Democratic success cannot come
through any exploitation of Democrat
ic action; it cannot come through any
reference to what the Democratic par
ty did the last time it was in power;
it cannot come through any promises
that the Democratic platform has
made for the future, for the only
promise that is made at all emphatic
by any Democratic speaker or paper
is the threat to pass through the
house a tariff for revenue only, and
the people of the country are not
ready to accept a revision of that sort.
The question then arises, will the
Democratic party without a record of
anything accomplished and only with
a history that cannot be repeated, ex
pect to be returned to power simply
because of a dissatisfaction and un
rest that has swept over the country
because of the higher cost of living,
when it can be shown beyond ques
tion that In no way can the higher
cost of living be attributed to the last
Republican revision of the tsrlff.
Arguments That Count.
When the arguments that will In
fluence voters ln the approaching con
gressional elections are sifted down to
an Irreducible minimum this fact of
the country's prosperity is going to
show up large. Singularly enough,
endeavor is being made to create dis
satisfaction with the new tariff In the
south and central west. The south
is getting 1C cents a pound for its
cotton—nearly three times the price
prevailing under the last Democratic
tariff—and the west is getting $1 per
bushel for Its wheat and (55 cents for
its corn, or just about double the
prices obtained under the Wilson-
Gorman tariff The Republican party
in the campaign that Is ahead will
stand upon the policies and the rec
ord of the party and will win. It Is
only a question this year, as It was!
two years ago, of how large the Re
publican majority In the next house
is going to b«\ —Capitol Hill fOkla )
News.
A Sample "Argument."
A few weeks ago a man was hold
ing forth on the iniquities of the tar
iff. when one of the bystanders asked
him just what particular thing he
eould name that was wrong about it.
"!<ook at how shoes have gone up."
he said "Why didu't they take the
duty off hides and reduce It on boots
and shoes? It la plain robbery "
The bystander happened to have a
"Spike A" In his pocket iud pulled
It out "Let's see what they did do
about hides and shoes," he «*ld "Here
It Is 'Hides placed on frrx Hat; boots
and shoes, tariff reduced 60 per cent.'
Is that what mad" the price of shoes
go upr

1 WELLMAN OF BALLOON FAME
waiter Wellman, who failed In hla daring atr
111 tempt to cross the Atlantic In the big dirigible
l\yj balloon America has had a career of thrilling
Yy li adventure. He was born in Mentor, Ohio, No-
V? r vember 3, 1850, and Is of English descent. When
jSfSjffiJ fifteen years old he established a paper at Sot-
M -—y / ton ' Neb- * n 1 ® 76 he went to Philadelphia and
o abandoned the country newspaper field for the
11 tlff? metropolitan. He had barely attained his major
i ||| 'ty when he established the Cincinnati Evening
R vwn Post. Soon afterward he became a free lance In
7/V journalism.
IllSk. ' n the e» r 'y eighties for a year or two he was
city editor of the Chicago Herald. He covered
tho legislative sessions at Springfield and was
I'HIIIIHIUL lid < WWLT!M/i/lt///7ifr Be nt to Washington as correspondent. At the
national capital he scored frequent newspaper tri
umphs and soon won recognition for his Judgment and powers of analysis,
particularly In reporting political campaigns.
His first voyage of discovery was made In 1892, when, commissioned by
the Chicago Herald, he established the spot on which Columbus landed on
San Salvador. Arctic exploration next cast its lure about Mr. Wellman. In
fifteen years he made five trips into the frozen north. In 1894 he led an
expedition, reaching 81 dfcgrees north. He placed many new islands on the
">ap and made such a valuable collection of scientific data that his second
voyage north in 1898 aroused keen interest among geographers.
In 1906 he announced that he would seek the pole by aerial route. He
had a dirigible balloon built and it was taken to Spitzbergen, but it turned
out to be defective and the trip that year had to be abandoned. The next
year found Mr. Wellman back at his camp on Dane's island, with a rebuilt
balloon. A start was made September 2, but a furious gale came up and
drove the airship back. A landing was made on a glacier.
Two years later, in 1900, Mr. Wellman was back for the third time at
Dane's island with the America, again remodeled. When the start was made,
after covering 32 miles the equlllbrator parted. The big dirigible was towed
back to its landing place, when a gust of wind carried it careening over the
ice hummocks and it exploded.
The discovery of the pole by Peary took away the main lure of arctic
voyages, and Mr. Wellman, turning his thoughts In another direction, an
nounced last July that he would try a transatlantic voyage by airship. This
also proved disastrous after he had covered over 500 miles of the distance
to Europe.
In abandoning their craft the crew of the airship America lowered them
selves into the lifeboat which swung beneath it. Then they cast the life-boat
•iff and were afloat on the sea. The airship, relieved of the weight of the life
boat, shot high into the air and was blown away rapidly. The transfer of
the Wellman party from the life-boat to the steamer Trent, which picked them
lip, was made with great difficulty.

lfr K Aj)h Every f° ur years on this account there was a
* JZyf&k condition °' Voßt turmoil when the different po
jmL lltlcal Influences were at work. Dr. Gladden was
pastor of the First Congregational church of 00/-lumbus
/-lumbus when he set at the work of public reform.
His first appeal was for a change in the elec
tion law. He wrote about the evils of the system,
appealed to public men and sent out a petition * for signatures at his own
expense. A few dollars thus expended enabled him to arouse popular enthu
siasm and his point was carried.
In 1900 lJr. Gladden, to defeat antagonistic Interests In the Columbus
city council, announced himself as an aldermanlc candidate and was elected.
He served two years, taking an active and Important part ln street railway,
gas, electric light and interurban policies.
It took some bravery to attempt to amend the constitution of a great
hta'e like Ohio, and time and energy to oppose a great political organization,
but Dr. Gladden proved his mettle, and he Is generally recognized today as •
great \ital force In the uplifting of important community Interests.
