THOUSANDS OF MILLIONAIRES Made by tha Tarifl-But Not One Is a Farmer.

[From a speech by Hon. R F. Shively at Shoals, Oct. 12, 1908.] When the rising tide of artificial prices on iron, steel, woolen and cotton goods, and on glassware and crockery and furniture, farm implements, all forms of building material, and substantially everything that goes tmto the farm, struck the farmer, was he to protect and recoup himself by writing up the prices of his own products? Right there came the rub. The farmer stands between two markets, neither of which he controls. Others fix the prices at which he must buy. Others fix the prices at which he must sell. American agriculture Is an expert industry. In some of its staples It has been export since before the American Revolution. This industry has no combination at home with which to limit production, write up artificial prices to the American people, and unload surplus at low prices abroad. Such a combination Is impracticable and Impossible, and, if possible, could only spell ultimate misery and starvation to society. .Millions of bushels of American wheat and corn and millions of pounds of American beef, pork and cotton go every year to the great surplus market of western Europe. Not a bushel nor a pound would go there but for the higher price paid there—at least enough higher to pay the cost of transportation. Wheat is sowed som place on this earth every day of the year. Wheat is reaped some place on this earth every day of the year. * * The surplus grain from all these fields Is poured into the surplus markets of western Europe in competition with the surplus grain from the American farmer. In that surplus market the level of prices is fixed, and from then the downward incline plane of prices extends backward past cv< ry farm and ranch in the United States. On any day of the year, except In rare instances due to purely local and temporary causes, the price of wheat is lower in New York than at Liverpool lower in Chicago than at New York, lower in St. Paul than at Chicago, lower at Fargo than at St. Paul. To this market, dominated by the competition of the whole world, th< farmer brings his wheat, his corn, his beef, his pork and his cotton. If the price of the staples In his annual output rises, it is a rise that attends the same staples produced by the peon of South America, the ryot of India, the fellah of Egypt and the former serf of Russia. The rise in the level of farm prices in the last ten years, due to an addition of three billion dollars to the volume of the world’s gold, was general and uniform throughout agricultural countries, but during all this time International Harvester Company farm machinery could he and lias been purchased cheaper in any othei agricultural country of the world than could the American farmer buy It at the door of the American factory where It was made. American mills, barb wire, shovels, axes, watches, sew ing machines and scores of other arti cles have been and are now sold cheaper in the foreign markets than at home. * * Even some of the products of the farm, after they leave the farm, are so manipulated by domestic trusts as to almost double their price to tiie consumer without Increase received by the farmer. Ry reference to the market reports in the files of the Indianapolis newspapers. It will he found that on April 7. 1888, hogs were quoted at $5.35 per hundred, and the best bacon at 9% to 10 cents per pound; on April 11, same year, hogs $r,.7. r > and the host bacon at 11 cents; on May 14, hogs $.",.7.1 and the best bacon 1114 chnts, and on March 14, 1889, hogs $4.85 to $5.00 and the best bacon llVfe cents. These, of course, were wholesale prices. The quotations today and the record of actual sales show hogs at from $5 to $7 per hundred and the best bacon at 21 r -ts per pound. Here Is an Increase ot about $1.00 per hundred on hog-i and over $10.00 per hundred on tie bacon taken from the hog, and not one cent of the excess Increase on the bacon goes to the farmer who produced It. The same th |g is measurably true of all other parts of the hog. Tin' meat trust controls the situation, lays the consumer under contribution, gathers in the profit and Invites the farmer to support the tariff that supports the trust. The farmer’s selling prices are world's prioes. He labors In eompeti tlon with the whole agricultural world. Duties cf $190 per bushel on his wheat and corn and per pound on his beef, pork and cotton could not protect him. The duties on wheat, corn, beef, pork, hay, cabhai;e and other farm products in the Dtngley schedules are purely political duties. These duties cannot secure to hte farmer higher prices on his sales. They are placed in the stnt uto only to cajole and deceive him into the support of other duties which plunder him on his purchi s s. The system leaves him to sell his product at prices domlnnh d by the competition of the whole world and to purchase his nec essarlcs at high artificial prices ftx< d by domestic monopoly, Induced, llcen ed. fortified and perp tuated hy affirmative acts of liis government at Washington If he enjoys any degree of

prosperity, ti is n iplte of the fly in his wheat, the rust in his oats, the smut in his corn, the cholera In his hogs, the hots in Pis horses and the Dingb-y tariffs In his market, and not because of them. The steel, lumber and ether trusts may capitalize the taxing power of tin government and write «rp the prices of their product 100 per cent; the farmer cannot capitalize h's $1 wheat Into $2 wheat, nor his 75-cent corn into $i..",o corn. He may cast away •he sickle, the cradle, the reaper, the Marsh harvester and bring on the self binder, the grain drill, the corn-shred dor and other improved forms of farm machinery to multiply his producing power, h s.--> n cost, deerras ■ waste and to increase economy in making, stor ing and marketing his product. The cunning device of high artificial prices on ail things he must buy sponges up the profits and absorbs the gains arising from the cheapening forces of skill and invention. Whatever of margin between receipt and expenditure he has left at the end of the year is the remnant of the harvest left by the 11 censed locusts of monopoly which swarm his buying market and pluck him on all that he brings onto his farm or into Pis household. If he has money In bank, It is usually the fruits of stinting economy, pinching selfsacrifice ami deprivation on the pari of hinru if ami family, rather than the natural reward of his Industry. The natural rewards of American agriculture' are ambushed away in the pennies. nie!;. : diiru s and dollars pieki d up by and conceal- d In the fictitious prim ( charged far trust-controlled goods, and who are turned in splendid streams of unearned increment into the coffers of government favorites, some of whom startle the country as much by their ostentatious charity as do others by their ostentatious profligacy. An., riean farmers have been creating >• .ilcndid fortunes and making millionrt la the thou ands hut to this hour not one on the American farm. HOW WILL YOU VOTE? Will You Vole for Yourself, or to Give Wore Millions and Pcwer to the Trusts? Do you want to vote more millions into the coffers of the trusts and more power into their hands to crush you? Or do you intend to vote for your, own inten ds? In other words, are you going to vote for Taft and Sherman, or liryan and Kern?—for Marshall or Watson? A letter just sent to many persons in Indiana hy the Republican national commit tee, asking for contributions and saying that ‘T.ryan’s election will lie dangerous," has printed at Its head, as members of the advis ory committee, etc., the names of the following men: Charles F. Drooker, head of the brass trust, and vice president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, against which a government suit is now pending In the federal courts. Charles Nagel of Missouri, one of the general attorneys of the Standard Oil company. This Standard Oil representative is in charge of Republican national campaign headquarters in Chicago. Frank O. Lowden, multimillionaire son-in-law of the late George M. Pullman, and now the head of the great Pullman Palace Car trust, to which tlu' travelling public pays tribute. T. Coleman Du Pont, the head of (he powder trust, which Is fighting a suit against dissolution. Boise Penrose, the political "boss” of the corrupt political machine in Pennsylvania. George P Sheldon, the personal represent ativ of ,1. Pierpont Morgan, in tiie capacity of director in all his trust companies, and who collected trust money for the election of Governor Hughes of New York. William Nelson Cromwell, Hie legal representative of Edward H. Harriman, and probably the greatest trust lawyer in the United States. Fred W. Upham, the "fat fryer” for the Republican party in the West, and the man who wrote letters to corporations whose property ho assessed by virtue of his position as a member of the board of review in Chicago. This is a fine outfit to advise the farmers and business men of the West how to vote. Two of the signers are heads of corporations which are fighting for their existence in the courts. Of course these men think Bryan's election dangerous; that is natural when one becomes acquainted with their connections. But there is not a legitimate business man in the nation small or le.rgo who lias any reason tn fear a Democratic victory. TRUST MONEY ALL GOES TO TAFT William Nelson Cromwell, the legal repr. sf ntatlve of E. H. Harrlman, and the Wall vreel lawyer who engineered the Panama deal—which made a “profit” of $3(1,000,000 for the syndicate made up of himself, Pierpont Morgan, Charles P. Taft and others—was the first I'bg contributor to the Republican campaign fund. He gave $50,000 to the Republican national campaign slush fu id Andrew Carnegie, head of the <le. trust, lias mad ■ a donation of $?0.ni;.| .o'vrd financing the election of lud 'i J et. These are a few of the contributiess from trust sources that have i .o l d the public, and Indicate very clearly on which side the trust inten sis are arrayed in this campaign.
