CHAMP CLARK FIRM IN MISSOURI HAM’S DEFENSE. Washington, Nov. 1.—Mrs. Champ Clark, of Missouri, entered a contro- versy which is in) progress here among society leaders, epicures and chets as to the best way to cook a Virginia ham, by contending that a Missouri ham is the best, anyhow. The wife of the Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, takes direct issue with Governor Blackburn, Colonel John A. Joyce, Mrs. F, Berger Moran and_ others who have declared in favor of hick- ory smoke with which to cure the ham, the light of the full moon in which to kill it, and that it must come from the ‘Mother of Presidents,” for only there does the real aristocratic porker have its being. “The Missouri ham is so far ahead of anything in the pig line produced by Virginia or elsewhere,” said Mrs, Clark, ‘‘that Lean’t understand how people can be so deceived. Isn't everything better in) Missouri than elsewhere? Why, of course, it is. Then, why shouldn't hams be supe- i rior? “Joe” With us raising, curing, cook- ing and ser not only rt, but bor sacred things of our lives.’ “Our pigs are raised with infinite care; they are not allowed to associ- ate with those of the lower. strain’ in life; iron-clad rule. obs din feeding and gro the and when at last they are doomed to die, we are almost as sorry as they can possibly be. But our qualms of conscience are assuaged when, months of smoking in the dear smokehouse, the hams are te taken ‘from their hooks and treat riod of ‘Monsier de American,’ he simmering (for you never boil a ham) and basting and browning and gar- nishing, then served and eaten with pure joy and gusto, “They don't know what a really good piece of hog meat is in Virginia. I will admit, however, that I learned | all [know about cooking ham from my friend Mrs. Burke, of Alexandria. Mrs. Burke is a great-granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson, and she was telling me how the art of simmering the dainty came to be known in America. “She said that when Mr. Jefferson was rambling around Europe in ch of knowledge, he happened to in Paris ata fashionable hotel. ie ham was so good that Mr. Jef- ferson called for the Prince of the Kitchen’ and asked him how he man- aged to keep the meat so tender. “Ze ham must be simmered, was told by the obliging ch “After Mr. Jefferson returned to this country he insisted on introduc- ing this method into his cuisine. But} the ‘big house’? cook, old Aunt Betsy, didn't like the new-fangled style, for she had boiled ham all her | ife to her own satisfaction, so, after ruining several twelve-pounders, her master happening in the kitchen one } day said: | “ ‘Betsy, are you simmering that | vam?” | indeed, Marse Thomas,’ | 1, ‘Dat ham am simperin.’”” A Sealded Boy’s Shrieks his grandmother, Mrs, a Taylor, of Nebo, Ky., who writes that, when all thought he would die, Bucklen’s Arnica Salve wholly cured him. urns, scalds, cu ruises, cures feve eruptions chilbl: Soon routs piles. corns, wounds, -sores, boils, ski —“How long will they et: That’s that it is all pure wool and wool clothes—$10 to $25, f) look well?” the real point when you’re buying clothes.

A. McNeal, being a strong Reublican jand an original Taft man. Every farmer should read it. | It seems to us that any person who partial study of the tariff law passed by congress at the special session must have read the recent speech of the president at Winona with a feel- ing, to say the least, of profound astonishment. To begin with, the speech has a number of statements in it that it j}would puzzle the defenders of Mr. Taft to reconcile with each other. In ly that the new tariff bill is the best that ever was and in another sentence he admits that he can’t tell how the blamed thing will work until after it has been tried. In one sentence he seems to rather praise the Republican members of the senate and house who voted against the bill on its final ence, and in another he virtually reads them out of the party on ae- count of their independent action. In our opinion the president never made a speech that was so defective in logic or that showed such a lack of original investigation. He talks like on him to defend this law as a special advocate rather than discuss it im- partially at the head of the nation. God knows the law needs a defender. | We have hesitated heretofore to ex-! n opinion in regard to this law ise we did not feel that we un-| derstand enough of its provisions to give a fair opinion. We have now, | however, examined it with consider- able care. We have read the opin-| ions of various experts who have ana- | lyzed section by section its provisions | and we now say unhesitatingly that | if, as the president says, this is the best tariff that has ever been enacted then the Lord help the worst. The United States will prosper no doubt even under this law, for the reason that our resources are so enor- mous and the natural opportunities and abilities of our people are so great that they will prosper under al- most any sort of legislation that can be enacted. But the more we study this law the more convinced We are that it is one of the most stupendous bunco games that has ever been play: ed on the American people. It not only does not redeem the promise that was made to the people for a. substantial reduction in the tariff schedules, but its authors enter- defraud the consumers of this great | nation. Their methods were those of | the faker with -his three shells, who robs the unwary by making him be- lieve that the little ball is under one of | | | deftly concealed under his fingernail or in the palm of his hand. | In the very schedules where they pretend to make a substantial reduc- tion, by cunningly devised phrases and obscure classifications they have ised the rates of duty, at once de-| priving the government of any proba- | greedy monopolists and laid addition- al burdens on the backs of the toiling poor. The more we study this bill the more we are convinced that it is the acme of legislative dishonesty and political perfidy. Cotton goods are worn by every citizen, but cotton is especially the cloth that covers the bodies of the poor. The Dingley law placed cotton goods whether mercerized or not un- der the same duty. Maybe you don’t understand what ‘‘mercerized’”’ means. We own up that until recently we did not. We must credit this infernal law with one thing and that is that it has added a little to our stock of in- formation. You have rio doubt no- ticed in cotton goods sometimes bright threads. Well, those kinds of goods are “‘mercerized.’’ The manufactur- ers who really wrote this bill put in a proviston that there should be an ex- tra duty of 1 cent per square yard on mercerized goods and also that any cotton goods that had. even so much as two bright threads would be class- ed as ‘‘mercerized.”’ , Some members of the house who was not completely under the domina- tion of Joe Cannon objected and the fraud was so rank” that Chairman Payne consented to cut out that pro- has made a reasonably careful, im-| one sentence he declares unqualified- | passage on account of their independ- | a man who feels that it is incumbent; threads is reckoned as ‘“‘mercerized”’ cloth and pays the higher duty. But this is not all. By cunningly devised changes in classification the rates are raised still higher, so that the rates on cotton cloth as compared with the rates in the old law are rais- ed from 5 per cent on the finer grades ef cloth to more than 100 per cent on the poorer grades, What makes us warm under the collar is that the greatest advances come on the gar- {ments of the poor. By a trick the framers of the bill have raised the duty on the cheaper cotton goods from less than 50 per cent to a hun- dred per cent. And there was no excuse for the robbery. Already these cotton mills in New England were declaring dividends of 60 per cent. Is there no limit to the greed of the monopolist? The makers of cheap stockings, stockings costing not more than $1/ was sent out that he had made the per dozen, used to be protected by a duty of 67 per cent, which would | fact is that the eastern manufacturers seem to be enough to satisfy an ordi- {nary hog, but under the new law the tariff on these stockings goes up to 88 | per cent. | The woolen schedules are worse if | possible than the cotton. Here again |is shown the fine jugglery of the men | Who framed this bill in the interest of eastern manufacturers, The sched- ules are cunningly devised so as to favor the worsted woolen trust and | | discriminate against the carded wool- en mills which furnish the poor man’s cloth. By a system of legislative leg- erdemain the worsted mills get their fine wools almost without duty, while the carded woolen mills have in some cases to pay as high as 500 per cent duty on raw material. The manufacturer of shoddy is per- mitted to count his sfuff as if it were pure wool and carries on his business behind a tariff wall that amounts to about 200 per cent. In the manufac- ture of flax, hemp and jute there are some reductions on certain yarns, nets and mattings, but when it comes to oilcloth and linoleum, the poor ed from 50 to 100 per cent. And yet the authors of the bill have the nerve tion. “Look,” says the defender of the bill, ‘at the duty on steel rails and structuaal iron. Steel rails reduced from $7.84 to $3.92 per ton.’’ Ac- cording to the testimony of Andrew Carnegie there is no need for any duty on steel rails. They can be manufactured cheaper in this country than anywhere else on earth at the present time. The steel trust is ship- ping rails all @ver the world and sell- ing them for less money than they will sell the same kind of rails right | here at home. During the year 1907! the whole amount of steel rails im- ported amounted to only $107,000 in | value, while the trust exported more than 8 million dollars to other coun- tries and undersold the manufactur- ers in the foreign markets. | The house bill reduced the rate on |structural iron from $10 to $6 per ton. No distinction was made be- ‘tween structural iron that had been punched and that which had not. | When it went over to the senate the | Aldrich crowd struck the words, “whether plain or punched, or fitted for use,”’ and substituted the words, “not assembled or manufactured or advanced beyond hammering, rolling or casting.”” On. structural iron that was punched ready to be fitted the duty is raised from $10 per ton, as it was under the Dingley law, to $18 per ton, And-yet these highbinders seem to have made the president actually believe that the duty on structural iron has been reduced from $10 to $6 per ton. ; The bill seems at first glance to re- duce the duty on lumber 14 per cent, but the same deft hand that fixed the Feeding Farm Hands, Every farmer’s wife knows what tre- mendous appetites farm hands usually have; but while they eat well they work well, too. o Here’s a good suggestion about feed- ing farm hands, Give them plenty of - Quaker, Oats. A big dish of Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and cream or milk is the greatest break- fast in the world for a man who necds vigor and strength for a long day's work. The man that eats Quaker Oats Plentifully and often is the man who does good work without excessive fa. vision without debate. When it went over to the senate, however, Aldrich and his committee slipped it in again. The insurgents thought that they had succeeded in getting it knocked out again, but that was where they were mistaken, for it got“back into tigue. There is a sustaining quality in Quaker Oats not found in other foods, and for economy it is at the family packages 1d hermetically sealed tins (for hot man’s carpet, the duties are increas-|and were meant in many cases to be Jule. The Dingley bill placed a duty | of 1 cent per cubic foot on “timber} hewn, sided or squared.” The Payne so as to read “timber hewn, sided or squared otherwise than by sawing.”” Do you catch the point, gentle read- er? The saw has taken the place of the hewer’s ax in the lumber industry and all the timbers practically are sawed, so that there- is really no re- duction. Worse yet, under the skill- ful jugglery of the framers of this law the squared timbers are now classed as boards and the duty is really in- creased 50 per cent over the rate in the Dingley law. Yet it is heralded over the country that the rate on lum- ber has been greatly reduced. Taft struggled with the committee in the senate to get free hides. He got'what he asked for and the report senate committee come to time. The were more than willing to have free hides, which will reduce the price to some extent of every steer that goes to market, but it will be noticed that they did not give up the duty on the manufactured leather. On some grades of that the duty was reduced, but on other grades it was raised. As a result the stockman will take less for his steers and pay more for his riding gloves than he did before. Space does not permit going into all the details of the bill. It was con- ceived in sin and brought forth in ini- quity. While professing to give the people bread it has given them a stone. The deceit of the framers of this bill; the cunning phraseology by which they have concealed the real purpose of the measure, raising duties where the general public sup- posed that they were being lowered, would put to shame the machinations of the father of liars and deserves the condemnation of every: honest citizen of the repubiic. The law will be a failure as a rev- enue producer because the duties are bill reduced the duty to 1-2 cent per} [23, cubie foot, but changed the language} |; ': firs.

It will not encourage reciprocity with other nations, where bill, and Aldrich and Cannon, whe forced it through, never intended that there should be reciprocity. They want no reciprocity. They do not want the people of this countryito get any benefit from reciprocity treat- ies. What they want is a tariff wall that will enable them to maintain monopolies and squeeze the last dol- lar possible out of the people. President Taft may talk until the lowing kine come home. He may to ocean. He may attempt to defend this law, but the people of the we: know that the bill is a deception afraud. He may talk andsmi’ talk some more, but the people who have read and studied this bill know that it was framed up in the interest of the manufacturing barons of New England, who give monkey dinners in their gilded palaces at Newport. The people who have read this bill will not be deceived by sweet talk. They know as they sweeten the cof- fee that the price of the sugar is kept up at the dictation of the owners of the sugar trust who have been caught red handed in robbery and ought to be wearing striped clothes and breaking stone in the penitentiary instead of dictating a tariff bill to the members of the United States senate. If these conspirators had been open and above board in their methods we would at least have been compelled to pay them the tribute of admiration for the nerve they displayed in their scheme of robbery, but they are not open and fair. Their methods are as sneaking and disreputable as those of denounce the insurgents from ocean|~ situation and to give it to them “red hot.” Just what red hot means has to put these among the articles on| by yielding our duties we might build |"0w become a matter of inquiry.

If the president had given it to Aldrich republicans ‘“‘red hot’? he might have accomplished something. —Common- er. Sloan’s Liniment is the best remedy for sprains and bruises.
