From Tuesday's Dully.
An Audience of several hundred
.. representative voters from Eldon and
"Washington township attended the op
ening meeting of the republican cam
paign at Eldon last evening and listen
.• ed with interest and appreciation to
addresses delivered by Hon. A. W. Bu

the Iowa general assembly from Wap
fSk ello county and Hon. J. M. Brenton,
mayor of Des Moines. The meeting
'was held at the Mahaffey opera house

and was enthusiastic and encouraging.
The splendid audience listened intent
ly to the addresses and frequently the
remarks of the speakers were inter
rupted by bursts of applause.
old-fashioned drum corps fiir

the old time melodies of the fife

dates at the afternoon Rock Island
train and deserves great credit for the
successful manner in which they were
entertained and in which the meeting
Jn the evening was carried out.
Pointed Words From W. G. Crow.
W. G. Crow former state representa
tive from Wapello county was intro
duced as chairman, of the meeting by
Attorney E. K. Daughtery. During the
course of a few pointed remarks be
fore. introducing Hon. A. \V. Buchan
.aa, the first speaker of the evening.
Mr. Crow said: "In 1896 this drum
corps could not have gotten out in
front, and played half way through
"Yankee Doodle," till this hall would
have been filled with people anxious
ly inquiring what can we do? Then
you had nothing to do. Today you
have something to do and you are get
ting well paid for doing it.
In referring to the candidates who
were present sitting upon the plat
form, Sheriff J. H. Cremer, Repre
sentative A. W. Buchanan, Supervisor
John McElroy, he said: "We pick out
the best and most available men in
the county to be our candidates and
nominate them by acclamation. We
trust them because -chey have been
successful not only in their own busi
ness but in the handling of our busi
ness in the past. These are the kind
of men that we want to represent us."
Representative Buchanan was then
Introduced and gave a plain business
like and pointed statement of the rec
ord of some of the legislative acts
brought into existence during „the
twenty-eighth and twenty-nintli gener
al assemblies in which he served. Mr.
Buchanan is a matter of fact talker.
He views every proposition from the
practical side and finds out what
will be its use to the community. He
takes up his subject from the stand
point from which he would view a
subject that he had to do wjth his
own private affairs and like a careful
and thorough business man, gives a
plain and practical statement that car
ries its own conviction.
Mr. Buchanan Speaks.
Mr. Buchanan spoke in part as fol
lows:
"Wapello county is one of the, larg
est counties in the state that is rep
resented in the state legislature by
one representative. With its varied
interests, farming, manufacturing and
mining it is one of the richest and
most important counties. I want to
thank the republican party for select
ing me by unanimous vote for candi
date for representative to succeed my
self. I also want to thank the voters
for the large ihajority which they
gave me in the last election and if I
am re-elected I will give all the ability
I possess for the advancement of the
varied interests of the county!
"You will be interested in knowing
something of the work done by the
twenty-ninth general assembly. Great
problems confronted us at that time.
Public buildings at Ames and at Iowa
City had been burned down, the board

SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl Street, New York-'
mands for large sums of money from
various sources were made. It was
not possible to give all this money
without raising the tax levy. We
carefully canvassed all these demands
and pared down the sums here and
there wherever it seemed possible.
We cut the Louisiana Purchase Com
mission sum down to $125,000, and
many others.
Three and One-Half Mills.
Finally when alV was done wc gave
the* executive council of the state per
I mission to make the state levy three
and one-half mills. It was thought
that perhaps the railroads might be
compelled to pay a larger percentage
of the tax burden of the state and we
passed a bill giving the executive
council the permission to ask and re
quire of the railroads answers to to
about 150 questions. Upon the basis
of these question the assessment
against the railroads of the state has
been raised $7,000,000.
"In criticising the state assessment
it is said that the taxation upon the
agricultural interests of the state has
been increased 17 per cent while upon
the railroad property the increase has
only been 9 per cent. This is not
true. The increase upon agriculture
has been 17 per cent but the increase
upon the railroad property has been
twenty per cent. In Wapello county
the assessment on farm property for
1903 as returned by the assessors is
lower than in 1901. It stood then at
$32 per acre and in 1903 it stands at
$31.60. But when the returns were
all in and the accounts were balanced
the executive council found that it
was not necessary to use that extra
half mill and if you will look at your
tax receipt you will find that it stands
as it did at 3 mills.
Voted on Five Hundred Bills.
"During the last session I voted up
on nearly five hundred bills. To each
of these bills I gave the closest atten
tion that any legislator could give. I
voted upou them according to my best
judgment along the lines of what I
believed was for the be3t interests of
the public. For partisan purposes it
frequently happens thaf. a representa
tive's vote upon a bill is misrepre
sented and in many Instances it is
easy to make this misrepresentation
"To illustrate. Take a bill that or
iginates in the house. It passes and
goes to the senate. To delay action
or for some other purpose it frequent
ly happens that soirie senator will
move as an amendment some little
thing that will entirely change the
meaning of the wording as for ri
stance a motion to insert a coninia,
or some other punctuation after some
certain word. The bill then comes
•back to the house and must again be
•voted upon. The man who voted for
it originally to be* consistent will have
to vote against the bil# as it then
stands, and thus while a representa
tive may favor a bill and has record
ed his vote in favor of it, by misrep
resenting the vote upon the amended
bill he may, be made to appear as vot
ing against it. Such misrepresenta
tion has been made in a number of
instances.
"Great progress has been made in
the taxation of express and telegraph
companies in 1899, the express com
panies paid a total of only $3.65 lax
in Wapello county. In 1901 they paid
$110. The same advance has been
made with the telegraph companies.
Every Township Receives Its Share.
"Every township in every tcounty
now receives its share of the taxes
levied by the executive council and
much of this tax is upon the intangi
ble property belonging to these com
panies upon which the township as
sessor is not able to lay his hands
and levy an assessment. I mention a
few of these things to show you that
the republican party is looking after
your interests and is making a de
cided progress in a just and proper
distribution of the burdens of taxation
and is mindful of the manner in which
the taxes which you pay is expended.
I am proud to say that I voted for
the bills which have brought this
about.
"Eleven years ago the democratic
party turned over the management of
Wapello county affairs to the republi
can party. There was then a total
bonded indebtedness against the coun
ty of $200,000 with about $50,000 float
ing indebtedness in addition. Last year
there remained but $81,000 of the
bonded indebtedness and $20,000 of
that .has since been paid so that there
now stands but $61,000 against the
county with no floating indebtedness.
Is not that a record for the republican
party and the board of supervisors to
be proud of?
'The twenty-ninth general assembly
passed a law that every county audi
tor should have issued in tabulated
form a statement, of the total receipts
trom all sources of all moneys that
come into the treasury and of the ex
penditures
lof
every kind. We want
the people to know where the money
is coming trom and where every dollar
ot it goes. If you wilLcall at the coun
ty auditor's office you may have one
of the little statements for the asking
and in it yon will iind a complete fi
nancial statement for Wapello coun
ty."-
Introduces Mayor Brenton. I
In conclusion Mr. Buchanan iij a
T*
few appropriate words introduced the
second speaker of the evening, Hon.
J. M. Brenton, mayor of Des Moines,
who spoke in part as follows:
Mayor Brenton's Address.
The speech of Mayor Brenton was in
part as follows:
"Of all good things, Iowa is tile best
She has the ablest men, the best, look
ing men, the handsomest women and
the finest cattle, horses and" hogs.
There isn't a state that parallels with
Iowa.
"The democratic party has no fixed
policy. In the days of Jackson and Jef
ferson it may have had a fixed policy,
but if it had it has forgotten it. Today
the democrats are in search of an Issue
with which to win a campaign. And
no matter what issue they may
light upon they always predict dire ca
lamity if you do not vote with them*
for their issue. The democratic candi
date for governor of the state of
Iowa is making his race upon national
issues. He can find no state issues.
A Few Facts.
"He would have you believe that the
tax upon agriculture has been raised
out of all proportion to the tax upon
railroad property. Let me call one fact
to your attention. For twenty years
the assessed valuation of railroad prop
erty has been added to steadily a little
bit each year. It has not been a large
addition, but it has been a steady ad
vance. For twenty years farm proper
ty has not increased in assessed valu
ation. Your representative has told
you the truth in regard to the express
and telegraph companies. The bill
that they passed is now getting at the
tangible property whicn the assessor
cannot levy upon. It is not the few
horses and wagons used by the express
companies to deliver their goods and it
is not the little bit of furniture that
they have in their offices that makes
them great dividend paying concerns.
It is the great volume of business that,
they do. The merchandise which they
transport is their great wealth. You
cannot count the telegraph poles and
weigh the wire belonging to the tele
graph company and arrive at the worth
of ihe company. It is the business
they do the franchises which permit
them to do business, that makes them
concerns of great wealth. The supreme
court of Illinois has decided that this
intangible value of such companies
shall be taxed and slowly and steadily
this- advancs i« being made. It is a slow
and a hard fight and the great lobbies
of men whom these companies'
send to the state legislature makes the
work harder etill. but in the face of
all there is a constant and steady ad
vance.
Other Counties Besides Our Own.
"One thing we must not forget is that
there are other counties in the state
besides our own. A bill that, may seem
all right for Wapello county may seem
all wrong for ninety-eight other coun
ties in the state and we must not for
get that their interests must be consid
ered.
"We have a great mammoth govern
ment and the expenses of conducting it
are something tremendous. This mon
ey must be raised and it must be raised
by taxation
of raising money by taxation, one a
direct, personal tax, and the other an
indirect tax. The experience of all na
tions of all times is that the one meth
od of levying a direct tax upon the per
son has been absolutely of no avail.
The method of indirect taxation is
the only possible way to raise a just
and equitable tax levy.
May Mot Be Cheapest.
"A free government may not always
be the cheapest kind of government
but we are satisfied to pay a little
more for the privilege of having a
free government and of having our lit
tle say in its management. The tax
that we pay is our tribute .and our
share of the burden of the expenses in
maintaining it. The experience of all
nations of the earth has been that the
best and most equitable method of
levying this tribute is by indirect tax
ation.
"Tariff for revenue only and a tariff
for protection are two great opposing
systems in raising taxes. One is a
method of raising money to pay ex
penses of government from the neces
saries of life, the other is a system of
industrial development in which a
skillful adjustment .of the taxes lev
ied produce the expense money for the
government and at the same time af
ford protection for home labor and
home industries. Tariff for revenue
only is based upon a tax on the neces
saries of life which are the chief sub
sistence of the poor man and conse
quently the chief burden of taxation
falls upon him. The tariff party has
from 1789 advocated a tariff policy
with a protective feature. Back in the
time of George Washington, Alexan
der Hamilton recommended taxes with
the protective idea in order that the
manufacturing interests of the new
country might be fostered. If this had
not been done" and the policy had not
been followed, we would today be
wholly an agriculturar'nation. The
wonderful development of our manu
facturing interest, magnificent as they
are would never have occurred and the

Some Tariff History.
"The nation was on this protective
tariff from 1798 to 1833. The demo
cratic party wiped out the protective
tariff and a time of great depression
set in. My father worked for thirty
cents a day. People did not have
money to buy anything. What differ
ence does it" make to you if the price
of an article is $5 or $25 if you
haven't got the $5. Isn't it better to
have the money to buy with than to
have the price low and not have the
money? When products of labor are
high the price of labor must and does
raise. Slow it is true, but it does
raise and the present times and condi
tions are abundant proof. Did the
lodest of you ever see good times
when prices were low? That great de
pression continued from 1833 to 1842
when a protective tariff was again in
stituted. Another period of depres
sion came with the Walker tariff for
revenue only in 1846 and continued
until 1857. The next change occurred
at the close of the war and from that
time until 1892 the industrial develop
ment of this country was the greatest
the world ever say. The democrats
declared that what the country needed
was to elect a democratic president
and congress to power and there
would be seen the greatest times on
earth. Prices of everything would be
low, labor would be well paid. You
would get the same money for your
work and you could buy every thing
that you heeded or wanted for one
half the price.
"What was the result? The great
American home market was destroyed.
People who had labor to sell couldn't
se'l
They couldn't get the money
There are but two ways buy what they needed even to cat
and we saw 7,000,000 American labor
ers out of employment. We saw great
strong men. 'heads of families, living
upon the charity of their neighbors,
because they could find no employ
ment. Throw the American laborer
out of employment and you destroy
the greatest market on earth, the great
home market.
Food for One Day.
"What does it take to feed 7,000,000
American workmen for one day? It
you give him mutton chops for
breakfast it will take 30,000 sheep
weighing 175 pounds apiece, if you
give his pork chops for dinner it will
take 15,000 hogs weighing 300 pounds
apiece and if you give him beef for
supper it will take 6,250 weighing 1,
250 pounds apiece.
"Prices have raised. I do not tell
you that you can buy goods as low as
you could if you happened to have the
money during the time that the Wilson
bill was in force. You have a great
body of organized labor that belong
to your unions. Perhaps you have here
as they have in many places an orga
nization through which all people
agree to purchase only union made
goods. When you go- in to buy a hat
you turn down the band on the inside
and if you do not find the union label
you,hand it back and refuse to buy.
You gladly pay a little more for the as
surance that the money that you are
spending is going for a product that
was made 'by members of some orga
nized labor union who are banded to
gether with you for your mutual benefit
and advantage. Upon the same prin
ciple as an American citizen I am will
ing to pay a little more for an article
when I know and realize that the mon
ey I am spending is going for the bene
fit of some American workman and not
for the pauper foreign labor."

JOHN MORRELL & CO. PLACING
YORKSHIRES WITH FARMERS
IN THIS SECTION.
Will Mean.an Increase in Price to Rais
ers of Hogs—A New Animal Unload
er Installed at Stock Yards.—East
End Items.
From Saturday's Daily.
Appreciating the fact that the York
shire grade of hogs are the very best,
the firm of John Morrell & Co is at
the present time endeavoring to place
with the farmers of southeastern Iowa
and northern Missouri a number of
Yorkshire brood sows for breeding pur
poses. T. H. Spilman is conducting
a sale in Garden Grove today and will
continue to have special sales until
such number of hogs are distributed
as to produce a marked improvement
in the quality of stock raised. "When
this product is on the market," said
T. P. Spilman, "it will mean for the
raiser an increase of twenty-live cents
on the hundred."
A Hog Unloader.
A new addition to the stock yards is
a hog unloader. The unloader is situ
ated in front of the large weighing
scales and when in use, it is backed up
to a wagon and the hogs are driven
out upon the scales. The new device
does away with backing the wagon to
the hog pens and the additional work
of driving the hogs out of the pen to
the scales.

Been very light, only 6,700 sows being

THE MINING INDUSTRY.
More capital is today employed in the
milling iniluMry than ever before since tlie
discovery of gold," with better results and
larger profits. The importance of the great
ijiov^ment lor tlie development of our won
derful mineral resources, with rcspect to tlie
wealth of tbe ration, eanpot be overesti
mated. Tlie same force* which have given
unexampled impetus to industrial affairs gen
erally, hove operated with equal, or greater
force, upon the imping industry.
Labor-saving machinery, railroad develop
ment, collective capital, rightly applied ener
gy, and better methods have raised mining to
its proper plane. This Is as it should be,
for gold mining demands the highest order
uf badness ability, technical skill, and long
veari of exiJcnence. It is enormously profit
able under such management. Under pres
ent conditions tiicrc Is no more excuse fur
an investment in an unagtfiuble mine, than
for tlie purchase ot as ®p£ior hat or coat.
