Are ENEMIES OF PURE FOOD LAW, Famoui Chemiat Believe* the Health of the Nation Demands Election of the Democratic Ticket — He Appeal* to Those Who, Like Himielf, Have Been Republican*. (Former Chief Chemiat of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture.) My appeal Is chiefly to those who, like myself, have been lifelong Repub licans. I believe that no kind of an administration Is going to ruin the country. I have a high personal re gard for each one of the candidates for president and vice president on all the tickets. All the political platforms are mainly sound, und all promise ef fort In behalf of the whole people. My choice is not based on a platform. It was determined by my impressions of the real attitude of the candidates re specting the public welfare. We are ' creatures of heredity and environ ment. In our attitude toward great public questions we are almost alto gether creatures of environment. What two men are by environment least likely to be swayed by special Interests and most likely to be guided by devotion to public welfare? Two of the candidates have already been tried In the presidential chair, and we know by experience what may be ex pected if either of them resumes his former seat on March 4, 11)13 Mr. Roosevelt by reason of hig attitude to ward the food and drug act aban doned the consumers of the country to the rapacity of a few mercenary manufacturers. Under authority of congress I had carried on extensive experiments with my so called poison squad and found that certain sub stances—viz, benzole compounds, sul phurous compounds and sulphate of copper (bluestonei-were Injurious to health. The law conferred upon me as chief of the bureau of chemistry the duty of acting as a grand jury and determin ing whether foods and drugs vere adul terated or mlsbranded. Instead of ap pealing from my decisions to the courts, as the law requires, the useis of these poisons appealed to President Roose velt. He not only listened to them, but he abrogated the plain provisions of the law, appointed a board not con templated by the law and directed that these predatory interests might con tinue their attacks on the health of the people until this board, unknown to the law, should decide otherwise. Can we safely trust the campaign for public health to Mr. Roosevelt? 1 cannot believe that to be the proper course. Mr. Taft inherited this exceed ingly bad condition of affairs from his predecessor and has not only continued this Illegal board under whose patron age adulterators are still poisoning the people, but he did worse. In the mat ter of the adulteration of distilled bev erages in which Roosevelt upheld the legally constituted authorities Mr. Taft reversed that policy and threw the mighty weight of the execntlve office to the support of the worst lot of adul terators that ever disgraced a country. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Marshall by their strenuous efforts in behalf of the food laws of their respective states have given a positive promise to end such a threatening state of affairs. They wUI support to the utmost the officials under the law who nre trying to protect the public health and will make short shrift of those who have brought about these present unbear able conditions Wilson and Marshall by their educa tion and environment are free from bias in favor of predatory interests and are inspired by true patriotic zeal In behalf of public welfare. I support the Democratic nominees in full knowledge that many of the prom inent Democrats In congress have been In full sympathy with the paral ysis of the food law in behalf of the unholy dollar. But when the Demo cratic president and vice president lend the aid of their powerful sympa thy in behalf of the public health those of their own party not hi sym pathy with them will be robbed of their power for evil. If Roosevelt or Taft be chosen the soldiers of fraud and adulteration will be improbably Intrenched for another four years and benzoates, sulphates and adulterated alcoholic beverages will have a new lease of life I believe also that President Wilson will renovate the department of agri culture, reeking, as It has been for the past twelve years, wltli scandals and favoritism. Fie will see to it that tbe bureau of unlmal Industry will protect the public health Instead of the efforts of the packers to sell dis eased meats under the deceptive phrase "U. S. Inspected and Pnssed." Under President Wilson no more Pin chots will be kicßi>d out of the service, no aore uuspenluihle McCabes will ex erclse dictatorial powers. There will be no more cotton leaks and Jungle atrocities, no more Everglade swln dlen. Buccaneering, boasting nnd bun combe will give place to sane efforts tor tbe promotion of real agriculture and tbe public health. Under Wilson the department or agriculture will be restored to speak Ing terras with tho state agricultural colleges und experiment stations, and the state officials will no longer be regarded as inferior beluga, living only on the largess of a Washington cabal. 1 ask all who want honesty and faith ful service In the department of agri culture the promotion of public health and executives who have grown to manhood and lived in an en vironment favorable to that which makes for the public welfare to vote for Wilson and Marshall. Soldiers of Fraud. TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUST. 'Expected :*xnomi»s From Combina- Leadera of the new (third term) party argue Unit industrial monopolies should be legalized lest we lose the efficiency of lar;;e scale production and distribu tion. No argument could be more mis leading • • • By HARVEY W. WILEY. It may be safely asserted that in America there is no line of business in which all or most concerns or plants must be concentrated in order to at tain the size of greatest efficiency, for, while a business may be too small to be efficient, efficiency does not grow In definitely with increasing size. What the most efficient size is can be learned definitely only by experience. The unit or greatest efficiency Is reached when the disadvantages of size coun terltalauce the advantages. The unit of greatest efficiency is exceeded when the disadvantages of size outweigh the advantages. The history of American ' trusts makes this clear That history shows: First.—No conspicuous American trust owes its existence to the desire for In creased efficiency. "Expected econo mies from combination" figure largely in promoters' prospectuses, but they have never been a compelling motive In the formation of any trust. On the contrary, the purpose of combining has often been to curb efficiency or even to preserve inefficiency, thus frustrating the natural law of survival of the nt test. Second.-No conspicuously profitable trust owes its profits largely to supe rior efficiency. Some trusts have been very efficient, as have some independ ent concerns, but conspicuous profits have been secured mainly through con trol of the market, through the power of monopoly to fix prices, through this exercise of the taxing power. Third.—No conspicuous trust has been efficient enough to maintain long as against the independents its proportion of the business of the country without continuing to buy up from time to time its successful competitors FARMER GETS LESS, BUT- He Has to Pay More For What He Doesn't Raise. The United States department of agriculture has Just announced that notwithstanding the increased cost of living among the people as a whole there was a greater decline in the prices paid to farmers from Aug. 1 to Sept 1 this year than there was last year. The average farm prices of the 1m portant crops (corn, wheat, oats, bar ley, rye, flaxseed, potatoes, tobacco, cotton and hay. which represent about three-fourths of the value of all the country's cropsi declined 7 per cent during the month, while in that time last year they declined in price only 4.4 per cent, and during the last four years the decline in price aver aged 3.8 per cent. The average of farm prices on Sept. 1 was 2.8 per cent lower than on that date last year. Prices paid to farmers on Sept. 1 this year, with comparison of prices paid on the same date last year, fol low: 1912. 1911. Corn $0,776 J0.659 Wheat 858 .848 Oats 350 .404 Barley 536 .770 Rye 708 .76* Buckwheat 766 .740 Flaxseed 1.626 2.036 Potatoes '. .650 1.187 Hay 12.140 14.610 Cotton 113 .108 Butter 242 .231 Chickens 113 .111 Eggs liil .174 But the prices on tariff nurtured articles of manufacture which the farmer has to buy continue to soar The third term candidate's favorite reply to the telling, unanswerable ar guments of Governor Wilson is that the letter's opinions are based "not on actual knowledge and experience, but by reading musty books on political economy." The colonel himself at a tender age was put at hard labor! It is not often that a man whose whole life has been given up to politics and offlceholdlng gets as horny handed as Mr. Roosevelt In the ranks of labor and high finance. Governor Wilson said to the newspa per men at the New York Press club, banquet: "Suppose you had a house of representatives mixed like the present senate. I think we could nil go fishing for the next two years." But he's at the helm, and there won't be any mix ing. Democrats—that's all. How many of those who are strug gling with the "high cost of living" be lieve there is to be any relief If the Republican party, which brought It about, remains in power? The card stacking at Armageddon goes merrily on Bight Taft electors In Missouri announce that If elected they will vote for the third term candidate. By applying tbe common sense test to Rooseveltian romance Governor Wilton manncps to keep tbe country both amused and thoughtful. TAXING COAT OFF * POORMAN'SBACK Concrete Illustrations ot What Protective Tariff Really Means. CAUSE WORKERS TO THINK. fc tion" Da Not Materialize. tLoull U Bnindeis in Collier's.J Iniquities of the Payne-Aldrioh Act, Taft's "Best Law Ever," Btrikingly Told II; Figure*. Concrete examples of how a protec tive tariff operates are causing thek workingman, the "poor man," to do b™ lot of thinking nowadays. He Is be ginning to understand whether It is not about time to call a halt on the Re publican practice of taxing the coat off his back and threatening him with the loss of bis shirt and his socks if he does not submit. All through the present tariff law,^ passed by a Republican congress and™ Indorsed by a Republican president as THE BEST TARIFF BILL EVER PASSED, are to be found discrimina tions, the higher duty on the cheaper article, the lower duty on the dearer article, thus placing on the shoulders of those least able to bear it the great-"y) er burden of the protective system. Here are some illustrations: The cheapest wool blanketb bear a duty of K55.42 per cent; the dearest 104.55 per cent. Flannels, not more than 40 cents a pound, are taxed at 143.67 per cent; over 70 cents a pound, 76.37 per cent Wool plushes, cheapest, 141.75 per k cent; dearest. 05.33 per cent. Knit fabrics, cheapest 141 per cent; dearest. 95.fi3 per cent Stockings, worth from $1 to $1.50 a dozen, 76.37 per cent; from $2 to $3, 59 per cent. Hats and bonnets, worth not over $5 a dozen, 62 per cent; over $20 a dozen, 35 per cent Carpets, highest priced, 50 per cent; " that used for mats and rugs, 126.88 per cent. Women's gloves, unllned, 49 per cent; lined. 34 per cent; longest gloves, un llned, 42 per cent; lined, 29 per cent. Men's gloves, wortb less than $3 a dozen, 66.28 per cent; costliest gloves, 14.45 per cent; leather, unlined. 44.58^ per cent; lined. 29.50 per cent * Buckles, cheapest, 77.48 per cent; dearest 26.33 per cent. Uncut diamonds bear a 10 per cent duty; Imitation diamonds. 20 per cent The humble firecracker bears a 97.02 per cent duty, while elaborate fireworks bear but 70 per cent. Matting, smaller and cheaper grades, 43 per cent; costlier, 24 per cent 'f Watch movements, seven Jewels, 66.02 per cent; 11 Jewels, 40.41 per cent; 17 Jewels, 34.45 per cent.

Scissors, worth 50 cents a dozen, 62.21 per cent; worth $1.75 a dozen, 46 per cent. Table knives, fancy grades, 57.40 per cent; bone handled, 69.43 per cent 'I Butcher knives, best grades. 52.10 per cent; cheapest grades, 93.55 per cent Files, smallest 81.29 per cent long est 36.81 per cent. Shotguns, worth from $5 to $10, 47.67 per cent: worth over $10, 45.46 per cent These. are only a part of the dis- criminations, gleaned from a swift conning of some of the schedules. Re duced to simplest terms, they mean that the poor man Is taxed higher than the rich man. TRAVELING MEN FOR WOODROW WILSON.* He Has a Record of Making Good His Promises to Voters.
