Treats the Tariff. "Tho place of next impnrtanco Is accorded the tariff and the trusts, six ty ot the ai-t pages of the volume beiiig devoted to this discussion. "Concerning the trusts, much space Is given to evidence that the protocied ci.inbinations having a tarhv mc.iopoly in our home markets are compelling Americans to pay much higher prices for man u fact ii ed goods than are paid l)j foreigners. '"The home and foreign prices of many articles are compared. "Nearly all kinds of haiilware. ma chinery, tools, paints, oiia ammunition, watches baking powder, condensed n, ilk. ca.uiod goods and every kind of r.ieol products are sold to our consum ers at prices averaging 25 per cent more iliin ihose nald by foreigners for the same givods. Quotes from Schwab. "Quoting President Schwab's state "men! to the industrial commission that goods were always sold elioape.'' for export the evidence before tho Chamberlain tariff commission in Kngland and numerous statements from import, journals and commercial papers, the conclusion is drawn that nearly all of our exports of iron and sieel goods, amounting to $111,III()imii last year are sold to foreigners at an average of about four-fifths the prices charged Americans. "Never before lias so much specific nnd unequivocal importance been placd on this protective discussion of prices and wages. The absurd methods of the Republicans in making 'averages' and juggling with statistics are exposed. Particularly is tho bureau of laboT soo.od for making statistics to order tot the use of the Republican campaign s committee statistics that ra'.se wages nnd reduce' prices on paper, and pro duce, statistical or artificial prosper it y. The figures of the bureau, which show nn increase of only 15 per cent in the ' cost of living since 18!(7 are cent- nsted with the figures of H. G. Dun & Co., ; vhieh show that the cost of living was 4:1 per cent hlglrer last March than on July 18!i7, Just before the Uingley bill became a law. i '( i : Pul's Dun's Report. "Based upon Pun's figures, and upon the full and complete reports of the railroads, covering 1.3iHi,nftO workers, which embrace both union and non union labor, nnd shows that wages rt-se at most only seven or eight point's fnmi .Inly. 1V.I7. to July. l!iu;!. when they wore highest, a diagram la pre sented which shows that, the purchas ing power of wages had declined so that the wago-ea. ners in IWi.l could purchase only 75 per rent as much as in IS'.iT" The conclusion is reached that If tho d'nn r pal! of todav is to be full, it must lie only throe-fourths as lame as heforo the "Pingley trusts began their c-a of prosperity."

DAVIS AT WHEELING DEMOCRATIC BRAVE ADDRESSES HIS TRIBESMEN IN THE VIR GINIA WIGWAM. ARRAIGNS REPUBLICAN WASTE Dismisses Money Question by Stating That as Both Parties Are Now Committed to Gold Standard It Is No Longer an Issue. Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 22. Henry G. Davis, Democratic vice presidential candidate, spoke to a large gathering ot people In tho political wigwam to night. It was nn enthusiastic openlug of the enmpaign iu Wheeling. It was nfler a slioit parade from the Windsor hotel to the wigwam, led by Mr. Pavls, thnt tho vice presidential candidate etepped on Iho platform, amid deafen ing aplause. , The candidate spoke cienrly and dis tinctly, and hold the audience admir ably. He said In part: "The Democratic party always ad ministered tho government with p. it dtnoe and economy. The Republican party is a party or extremists, and hai been wasteful and extravagant In It expenditure of government funds. More money is being collected in th form of taxes than is necessary fo;- ai economical management of the gov eminent, both national and state. I! Hie Republican party is continued in power, still larger expenilil ures wil rollow, as their lenders tell us they iropose to pu sue the same policy In1 the future that they have in the past. Republican Expenditures Greater. "The expenditures for the fiscal yeai 1H04 were greater than for the pre ceding year, and the appropriations al ready made for the year 1905 an large than those for 1904, and thi K t withstanding the fact that no rivei and harbor bill was passed at the las' session. Apparently in a futile at empt to keep down expenses, and alsi o prevent examinations into the post iffice frauds, congress, at it a last ses !on, was brought to a close earlio ban any long session since 18(i0." He then reviewed the governmen revenues for the last year, declarin; that the revenues are falling off. whih the expenses have been greatly in ceased. Both Love Yellow Metal. Both parties, he said, are committee to the gold standard, and it is n( longer an issue before the people. "Republican speakers," he said "accuse tho Democratic party of beinp free traders. From the days of Jeffei son in 1800 to those l.iiicoln in 18' l he Democrats practically controlled the government. During all that tinn with the exception of a short intorva' immediately following the war of 1812 'he expenses of the government wen pa'd almost entirely from customs dut'es. There were practieany no In tcrnal revenue taxes, and yet undei these Democratic tariff k'ws the com rv prospered and grew from a nai of 3,000,000 to one of 3o,imhi,ooo of ha P) and contented people." He reiterated his belief "in a tarifl '.hat will yield sufficient leveiiues foi the economical and prop.r expondl tnres of the government," in which he believed "Incidental protection to out industries Is right and proper." Tariff Needs Reviiion. After citing the tariff on coal as an evidence against a protective, tariff he continued: "That the tariff, as a wimle, needs revision Is plainly muni fi st. Combined, as it is at present with trusts, it permits of loo large a piofit on many articles of production stifles individual elite, prise, lirlngs ot. strikes and disturbs generally th business Interests of the country. "Many manufacturers, under present conditions, sell their coods chcapoi al' nad than at home." He enumerated many articles which h.- said, were sold heaier abroad thar u this country. He ngrettiii that the national p'at form of tho Republican party raiMi the .ace Issue, and continued: South Bears Burden. "The southern people, who have tc hear the burden ol this question, were dealing mit n It in moucra'bm and fairness, hut its unfortunate agitation b Republica.i leaders lia made it solution much more difficult and bin deed the norts of tbse who men honestly Ktriving to aid 'be colon' people in uplifting their face.
