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.

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.
