I may v some things which you won't like, but sumebody ought to say them. The kigh _cost of living and revolution are identified closely. ~The American fev- uvlution was brought about by the high cost of living, due to King George's taxes. America should take a warn- ing from the lessons of history. Be- cause America is today alive is mno season to_belleve that she will live forever. We are today repeating all the mistakes of all the republics of il time. The prophecy that the ocean ‘was dug for America’s grave, that the winas shall be her winding sheet and that her mountains will stand as her monument, I pray to God may not come true. The millions of votes poll- ed by the socialists at the recent elec- tion are evidences of the great spirit of unrest and_dissatisfaction felt in the country. I am not a pessimist, but T do not believe in covering one's eves to real dangers. We are today heading towards a revolution in Americe, and when a revolution comes DANGER IN DELAY Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous For Norwich People to Neglect. The great danger of kidney troubles 1s that they so often get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Eealth will be gradually undermined. Backache, headache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright's disease may follow as the kidneys get frorse. Don’t neglect your kidneys. Help the kidneys with Doan’s Kidney Pills, which are so strongly recom- mended right here in Norwich. Mrs. J. F. Sundstrom, Norwich, €onn, says: “For several years I puffered from backache and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. I had mbout despaired of ever getting relief when I was advised to try Doan's Kid~ ney Pills about a month ago. I pro- cured a supply of the remedy at N, D. Sevin & Sen’s Drug Store, and through using them my kidneys were strength- ened and 1 felt better in every way.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

In New York every month theye are 5,000 families put out of their ho: because they canmot pay their rents. Charitable donations do not reach the really deserving unfortunates who Lerish in silence. One in every ten of New York’s people is buried in a pot- ter's grave. Every morning ' 75,000 children in New York go to school breakfastless. There is plenty of food for all They are-in distress in_ the midst of plenty. In America tonight, while you have been sitting at tables groaning and bending with plenty and Iuxury, tnere are ten millins of poo- | ple in’ the country actually starving. “There are more suicides and more in- sane persons in America than in any | other country of the world, and it is all | aue to worry. i Distriution is What Costs. | - The cost of food has increased 61 | per cent in the last ten years, and at the point of production practically ev- ervthing is cheaper. There is no high | cost of living. It is a high cost of | selling, of aistribution. 1 we do away | with the middlemen our costs will be | reduced. One hundred and ten years | az0 only 3 per cent. of the people of | the country resided in cities or towns, and today 55 per cent. live in cities and towns, There.are nine millions of people in New York state, and 75 per | cent. of them restde in the cities and towns. We are rapidly becoming a nation of cities. There are 878 millions of acres of farm land, and only about one-half of this land is farmed. Of this half but a very small proportion is farmed scientifically, to preduce _its utmost capacity. In 1950 there will be 300 millions_of people in the United States, and 75 per cent. will reside in the cities and towns. Then will come a famine, and famine will mean revo- Iction. That is one reason why living s high. Back to the Soil. thing to do is to get the eople back to the soil. God has siven 15 the land and the means. . Only a part of 1 per cent. of the foodstuff consumed In New York city is fur- nished by Long Island, and yet Long Island could furnish food for all New York. Connecticut and New Jersey are states of abandoned farms, and yet New Jersey has New York at its door, . market for its products. We are cating onions from Egypt and Spain With a tariff of 25 per cent. ad valorem. We could raise the onfons here. Make Farm Attractive. We must make the farm attractive. The first ROSES -AT: - GEDULDIG'S TODAY 40c a dozen TELEPHONE 868 ROSES Lack of Systematic Housekeeping. Another reason, and a big reason, for the high cost Is the lack of syste- matic housekeeping. Eighty-seven per cent. of the girls who go to high school study dead languages. They do not learn them, just study them. Three | per cent. study domestic science. Re- sult: marriage, dyspepsia,.divorce. I | want to see the day of practical house- keeping, when the woman will know how, where and for what she pays. We blame the middleman. We al- ways blame the wrong fellow. The middleman gets a big price for things, but we make him spend so much to suit ourselves that at the last analysis We are to blame for the price we pay. The srocer is the poorest slave of ev- | ery community. We worry him from | daylight to midnight. We. forget to anticipate our wants and keep him busy making deliveries due to our reglect. Fifteen per cent. is added to the cost of an article by the expense of deliveries. In the department Store o shirtwaist selllng for $1 brought the manufacturer 40 cents. Yet the 60 cents difference is eaten up in the ex- penses of the store, so the middleman miakes but the slightest profit. The manufacturer does not make much. I | believe that he cannot pay any higher wages than he is. The other fellow gets it, but he doesn’t have it, for it's| the process that's to blame. Our sys- | tem of distribution is wrong: that's | what makes the trouble. The credit system makes a big difference, for the one who does pay his bill must make up for the one who does not. Do you Agriculture is a basic industry and this is the only government in the world which does nothing to make country life attractive. The farmers have not even graded schools, and here is one great reason for their re- moval from the country to the city— they wish to give their children an education, The farmers do not have s00d roads. The roads of this coun- try are the worst of any _civilized country of the globe today, The agri- cultural department sends out seeds which do mot come up and literature which nobody reads. Farmers Don’t Know How. We must not only get the people back to the soil, bhut teach those al- ready there how to Increase their yield. We don't know how to farm. One can drive all day without en. ccuntering more than one farmer who is worthy the name. I hope to see the day when the schools will cease to be fool factories, when there will be something taught besides ancient history and _ dead something of practical value will given the children.

The Japanese likewise are well adapted to farming and all these people located on the soll would be a most valuable aeset to the country. They know how. Keep Tariff Oyt of Politi Another reason for high cost lies in the fact that we are taxed as no other people. I have no part in politics which should be used as a trolley car, to take you as far as it goes in your direction. = The tariff should never | buve been made a political issue. The n the appointment of a commission of men large enough to handle the in- terests of all the people. We need more business men in the affairs of the government and less lawyer gov crnment We should keep the tariff out of politics. With me the.tariff is 5.’ question of bread, and I speak from “the standpoint of ‘the humanitarian. We paid $1,444,000 tariff on potatoes in S0 days during last winter when our potato crop was short.. This sum was 50 per cent. of the value of the pota- toes. s There is ~ tariff on beef and hams and bacon, so that in London i n buy the best American beef teni.ce a pound cheaper than you can buy it in this country. Articles manufactured in this country can,be bought many times cheaper in Europe than in the city in which they are manufactured.

Forty per cent. of the cost ot many articles is due to the package craze. Trading stamps add 4 per cent.

The speaker told of the success of his experiments with _co-operative stores in New York and these, he said, will eolve the problem. Let a few men or women get busy and establish the public market where the producers can come in and sell direct to the con. sumer, cutting out the cost of distri- tion. The farmers today are letting food Tot on the ground beczuse they can’t get enough in the markets to pay for the transportation, but with a pub- lic market can get something for their stuff. /The poor people can then aord to pay for their food and the farmer will get more for his produce.
