CHAMP CLARK
SEES VICTORY
FOR DEMOCRATS
Special Privileges Hide Behind
Stream of Gold, Declares
Congressman !
Representative Promises Down
ward Tariff Revision If His
Party Gains Power
:. NEW YORK. July 4.— 'Glad tidings
•*f great joy" for the democracy were
what Representative Champ Clark of !
ilissouri declared lie brought today to .
the annual fourth .of July celebration
•f Tammany in Tammany hall.
Invited guests who could not attend, j
fcut who sent letters of regret, included
Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio.
•'Public wastefulness eats into the re
*ources of every home fn the land,"
>Tote Ohio's executive. "The govern
ment can not grant ppecial benefits to
some except at the expense of others.
And those whose earnings or incomes
are thus subjected to needless or un
just contributions do not fully enjoy the
liberty which 134 years ago was pro
claimed throughout the land to all in-
Jiabitants."
Eager for Fight
Representative Clark in his address
eaid:
I bring to you the glad tidings of
great joy that the democrats in the
house of representatives have laid
aside the weight which for years
did so easily beset us. that of fight
ing each other, and recently have
presented a solid and united front
to the common enemy. We are no
longer a feeble, wrangling, queru
lous, dispirited body, but a cour
ageouj, vigilant, virile, hopeful,
rr.ilitant band, not only ready but
eager for the fray.
Special privilege, which Jefferson
fought in his day and over which
Andrew Jackson, of blessed and
heroic memory, triumphed In his
day, is firmly intrenched in power
now through years and years of
republican maladministration and
can not be rooted out without a
terrific struggle. The beneficiar
ies thereof will pour a stream of
gold like unto the river Pactolus
• into the republican boodle fund,
with which to debauch the voters
of the land and then recoup them
. selves by more of special privilege
\u25a0 granted by the men for whom they
buy the offices. For years that end
• less chain has been in operation
and it will continue to operate
till our system of government is
thoroughly purged of every variety
and every vestige of special priv
ilege. • ilege.
The tariff graft — one species of
. special privilege — became so offen
\u25a0 • sive that five or six years ago even
certain republicans became dissat
isfied and began to demand a re
. . vision downward. First there were
only what the doctors call sporadic
cases of republican dissatisfaction;
but the republican dissenters in
creased so rapidly that in the
spring of 1908 Honorable Sereno E.
Payne, chairman of the great com
mittee on ways and means and ex
. officio republican floor leader in the
house, was driven into declaring
that he violated no confidence in
stating that the republicans would
•revise the tariff. His statement
.:. was equivocal, as he did not say
..: whether the revision was to be
down or up. but considering all the
circumstances under which his ut
terance was made, he intended it
to be understood as a promise of
- revision downward, and, to do him
. perfect justice, lie claims that his
bill is a revision downward.
. REVISIOV UPWARD
Clearly he has been imposed
• upon by his arithmeticians, for his
bill revises it up about 1.71 per
cent on the average. His declara
tion, however, did not allay the
: -- clamor among republicans. It
-swelled into such a roar that when
the republicans held their national
convention in 190S they were
forced to promise tariff revision
"•'" in their platform. Again the prom
'\u25a0 ' lse was equivocal, as it did not
\u25a0 \u25a0 state whether the. revision was to
':\u25a0: ' be up or down. But the demand for
\u25a0*'\u25a0\u25a0• tariff revision downward was so
\u25a0' strong and so insistent that a ma
• jorltv of republican orators and ed
itors* declared that the revision was
to be downward. On that promise
r they won. Having got in, they pro
ceeded to revise it upward. So that
in the impending campaign the
overshadowing issue is whether
men In conducting a campaign are
under any obligation to tell the
truth, or whether they are licensed
to palter In a double sense — to
.( keep the word of promise to the
ear and break it to the hope.
Query: Is it any less dishonest to
\u25a0 . secure offices under fa,lse pretenses
than to obtain money in that felon
ious manner?
: " If we have the next house, as I
; . • hHieve w« will have, we will hon
: - fstly and courageously report a bill
..". to revise the tariff down to a reve
~ nue basis, pass it through the
: house and send It over to the sen
ate. Perhaps by that time the sen
ate, yielding to the public demand.
; will also pass it. If it does not, we
: will go to the people on that issue
in 1912.

THREE MEN CHARGED
WITH CONSPIRACY

Victim of Plot
{Special Dispatch to The Call]
BANTA ROSA. July 4 —What is de
clared to be a conspiracy to injure and
harass James Nelson, proprietor of the
petrified forest on Mark "West creek, is
being unraveled by the local authori
ties.

rested and paid a $50 fine for killing a
deer out of season. A few days later
he gave information to the officers that
James Nelson had a doeskin in his pos
session. Nelson was arrested and
brought here for trial, but convinced
the officers that he was. the victim of a
.plot. '
An investigation satisfied the officers
of the truth of Nelson's statements and
a warrant was issued for Bishop charg
ing him with a felony in preparing
false testimony. He is in Jail. Dan
Hudson and Henry Swan, others said
to be involved in the plot, were charged
with the same offense and officers went
after them this afternoon.

NO MORE $10 HOGS,
DECLARES ARMOUR
Packer Says High Level Will
Not Be Reached Again; Ex
port Business Dead ;
CHICAGO, July 4.— J. Ogden Armour,
the, packer, who -returned yesterday
from a two months* trip to Europe, does
not believe that this country will see
"$lO hogs" again. ,
Speaking of meat prices, he said:
If the west reaps a bountiful
• corn, wheat and oat crop this year
- we may hope for lower prices. The '
crop problem will have a big effect
on the price of meats. IC the crop
of grain is short the supply of cat
tle and hogs will be short. I have
been 'away for eight weeks and
know nothing concerning crop con
ditions or the \present cattle and
hog supply, except from the general
" view I have gained from newspa
pers. I don't believe the country
will see $10 hogs again. Such prices
are possible, however. Hogs nor
mally should range around $9. It
the supply is good it is possible
they should be priced under that
Meat export business from the
United States to England and Eu
rope is dead. South America is fur
nishing the meat that Europe con
sumes. This country can not com
pete successfully with the country
south of the equator. Cattle con
ditions there are as they were In
the west 25 years ago. Cattle can
? be raised cheaper, and as ship
transportation costs but little if any
more than from the United States,
they can be marketed at a much
lower price. .
As a cattle producer South Amer
ica is raoldly outdistancing the
United States. The class of cattle
is not as good, but the meat is food,
and that is what Europe wants.
The men who treat their friends bet
ter than they treat their wives don't
deserve to have either. I can afford to
say this because I have no wife.
In spiteof a popular tradition to the
contrary, the only skeleton in th© av
erage man's closet is a trousers
stretcher.
