Washington, Sept. 19.—Spending | $3,567,685.66 every business day, the United States under the reign of the | standpat Republicans has become the most extravagant government in the world. ‘ Increased expenditures in the first year of the Taft administration, over) the corresponding year of Cleveland’s last administration, amounted to $575, - 730,600, or over 120 percent. This occurred under the much-heralded | Taft policy of ‘‘cut-to-the-quick”’ | economy, recently repudiated in) Maine and Vermont. National expenditures for the ensu- ing year amounted to $1,098,847, 184, | which is more than the entire capital | of all the banks in the United | . States, $919, 143,825, and more than one-third of the entire output of all of | our gold mines in 120 years, 3,063,- 787,000. Two striking illustrations of the Re- publican “‘business’’ administration are: A deficit of $11,579,265 since June 30, 1910. A deficit of $180,- 381,355.69 since June 30, 1907. Here are some of the ways the standpatters spend the people’s mon- ey in a republic: Plenty of Velvet Another car of this High Grade Flour Just received.

The | public alone is unrepresented. One fact that has cropped out at the | hearings is that the railroads seem to | have unanimously agreed that the in- | creased rates shall apply where there |will be the least annoyance to the trusts and big combinations of manu- facturers. The added burden is to be laid on the little fellow—the mer- chant, the householder, the fathers |and mothers of the families, the coun- \try storekeeper and the farmer. | Products of the trusts enjoy a strik- }ing immunity from increases. This |is not hard to understand. |easy for the railroads to put an in- | creased rate over on the sugar or the | steel trust. Such increases would be \fought tooth and nail and probably | defeated by counsel for the combines | who gather like flies aboyt the room in which the commission meets. But | jit is easy money to put an increased |rate over on the general consumer, | because he isn’t present to enter ob- | \jection, nor is anyone there to enter | objection for him. | The interstate commerce commis- sion declares it represents no one in | particular, but sits asa judicial body |wholly. The result is that in many, | | many instances the case goes against the consumer by default. Weather Was Clear.

The iron is a little longer than a pencil and is brought down to a-blunt end on which are the letters “T. B.”’ The iron originally be- longed to Mr. Barron’s grandfather and was brought to this country in 1850 by his father. It was used to brand cattle and other stock on the horn or hoof and to mark tools. Mr. Barron has one of these irons which was made in England in the forepart of the 16 century.
