MR. RALSTON’S KEYNOTE.

In speaking of the keynote speech of Hon. S. M. Ralston, which appeared in Wednesday’s Democrat, the Indianapolis News savs editorially: •

Samuel M. Ralston, democratic candidate for Governor, opened his campaign last night with a speech at Anderson. He is to be commended for his frank meeting of all the issues--—even the temperance issue. Most of the speech, it is true, was devoted to national Questions issues, particularly the tariff. What he said on this subject was well said, 'I he tariff as we have it' today is the supporter of • privilege. It is a common practice, as has been shown beyond dispute, to sell American manufactures abroad at figures considerably below those at which they are sold at home Men demand and receive the right to exploit the people through a perversion of the taxing power, and then they are greatly surprised that the people should object. The great j issue today is the tariff issue. About I that something can be done. In regard to most oif the things of which Roosevelt talks little can be done. Mr. Ralston went beyond his platform - and in this showed his wisdom—and pledged himself to a (public utilities commission. This plank was beaten in the resolutions committee of the Democratic convention. The candidate restores it. He said that Governor Marshall would recommend the enactment of a public utilities law. ard that if, it conformed to the Constitution, and properly safe-guarded the interests of labor and capital. ' he would sign it. On the temperance question Mr. Ralston he had always favored strict control of the liquor traffic, and that he had urged that the county option law have a fair trial. Personally he favors the city and township option, and he asks that the present mw also have a fair trial. “There is,” Mr. Ralston said, “no moral element or question between these units.” Honest believers in temperance may favor either unit. The speech of the democratic candidate is a frank and sincere l utterance. One thing in conclusion: Mr. Ralston made a defense of the financial side of the present administration, but as he promised that a fuller statement would be made later in the campaign, and that this issue %ould be fairly met, perhaps it is better to wait till the case is fully made up. MT. Ralston made a, very favorable impression.

HOW THE TARIFF BENEFITS (?) THE FARMER.

Governor Wilson has indicated in the speeches he has made so far in the campaign . that he attaches a great deal of importance to the tariff question as it affects the farmers. The Democratic candidate put this whole question in a nutshell when he said: A “The farmer does not derive any benefit from the tariff when he goes to the market to sell hi s products, but on everything the farmer buyp there is an artificially high price, due to the—tariff tax.’’ _

High protectionists in Congress have for many years deceive a the farmer into believing that because of the tariff kept on wheat and corn; the farmer was necessarily benefitted thereby. That this is false logic is apparent to aWy student of American imports and export statistics. This country produces more wheap and con- than the American people'can consume, and this obviously makes it impossible for any foreign country to sell wheat or corn here. Europe, which is the great market f<pr the surplus American grain, uses all the grain produced there, and in addition, the European countries have to send over here for more. If there' was no tariff oh grain at ail, therefore the American farmer would-not tie manaced by the possibility! t>; tor-.Wgm tox,-': for the .n that foreigners have no grain to sell. /’ But the situation is vastly different with the farmer when he conies to buy tools, machinery, clothing, and the other necessities of life. He finds that every article that he uses in producing his crops is taxed higher and higher, until, is Mr. Wiison says, “it is getting next to impossible for the American farmer to make legitimate profits.” , The farmers’ implements, their smaller tools, wagons, household articles, clothing, lumber, and harvesting machinery have steadily risen in price. That this rise in prices has been due to the artificial causes is proven, by the tact that the identical ar-1 ticies used by the American farmer are sold abroad at rom twenty-five j to forty per cent less. B. D. Town-’ send, in his report to president 1 Roosevelt on the Harvester trust, reported that tne same harvesting machine; that were- ,oade by the trust i >n Chicago, and sold the American ; farmer at 125, are sold in Russia? for SSO and S9O. Nothing but the tariff enables the trust to thus rob the American farmer, because, if it? were not for the tariff, the danger: of competition from Canada would force the American trust to sell its' machines for one price to all. j Governor Wilson has shown a deep grasp of the tariff question as it affects the American, farmer, and it! is certain that before the campaign is over or. much older he will have some illuminating things to say to the farmer on this vital ques-! tlon. .

STORY OF COTTON IS A THRILLER

A Narrative That Concerns the Welfare of Millions. SHOWS EVILS OF PROTECTION Whole People Robbed by a Tariff That Rich Manufacturer May Benefit— Robert Kenneth Mac Lea, Consulting Expert of the Tariff Board, Shows That the American People Are Mulcted of $88,000,000 a Year. New York. August. —Did you ever hear the story of cdtton? It is as thrilling as a narrative of adventure. It is as interesting as a , novel interesting particularly because it concerns the welfare of millions of people who wear cotton goods. It is interesting, because it is the dress of the poor, the universal substitute for wool and silk. It is interesting, furthermore, because it is true. The story of cotton is the story of a protective tariff for the benefit of rich manufacturers at the expense of the whole people who wear cotton goods. It has been reasonably calculated that because the cotton tariff is fixed by the Payne-Aldrich law the American people are paying $88,000,000 more every year, than they should pay for their cotton goods and that a saving of this amount could be accomplished by a reasonable reduction in the present duties. The story of cotton is told by an expert, Robert Kenneth Mac Lea, consulting expert of the tariff board, in a series of articles published in the New York World. Mr. Mac Lea’s views are the views of a lifelong Republican, a friend of the protective policy of the Republican party, but at the same time an opponent of tariff graft and favoritism. To this work Mr. Mac Lea has brought a varied experience, covering more than 20 years, in the manufacture and marketing of textiles. He first distinguished himself as an advocate of honest tariff legislation by finding the "jokers” of the Payne-Al-drich act, when the agents of a few New England mills were permitted to write their own rates to suit themselves. He was chairman of the tariff committee of the New York Dry Goods Merchants’ association and in this capacity conducted a campaign which attracted the attention of the newly created tariff board. To accept the position of consulting expert to the board he gave up the management of the domestic business of the New York firms of R. B. Mac Lea & Co. and Converse & Co. The story of cotton is a companion piece to the story of Schedule K—the woolen schedule—declared by President Taft to be infamous and indefensible.

The findings of the tariff board with regard to the woolen schedule were analyzed by Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee and condemned as inaccurate, incomplete and worthless as an aid to legislation, hen the tariff board's findings on the cotton schedule were made public the XV orld decided to make its own investigation concerning it, and Mr. Mac Lea was selected for that purpose. The World had the findings of the board on manufactures of cotton dissected from the practical point of view of business, analyzed in their relation to the interest of the consumer and the facts translated into the language of the everyday man and woman.

One hundred cloth samples purchased in representative domestic markets were made the basis of the tariff board's findings on the cost of cotton cloth produced in this country. Mr. Mac Lea used the same cloth samples as concrete illustrations of the workings of the tariff and from these exposed the very generally perpetrated fraud of selling American made goods as imported, and showed why the excessive tariff permits and fosters this imposition. Recognizing that the tariff would be a vital issue of the campaign and that controversy would center about President Taffs "nonpartisan” tariff board and its work, the World undertook the investigation of cotton and sought answers to the following questions: Has the work of the tariff board justified the delay in reducing the tariff and giving relief from the high cost of living? What have the people gained in the three years under the Payne-Aldrich tariff IN RETURN FOR MORE THAN $5,000,000,000 TAKEN OUT OF THEIR POCKETS AND INTO THE POCKETS OF PROTECTED PRIVILEGE? How honestly, impartially and thoroughly did the “nonpartisan” tariff body undertake its task? Several months before the cotton report was completed Mr. Mac Lea declares that he discovered sinister influences in the tariff board's working to the favored few in the cotton mill industry. Such suppressed information as Mr. McLea considers to be of vital importance to the cotton industry and the public has been presented In the World. He has also explained what the mass of figures of the cotton report signifies and presented some of the most important of the conclusions to be drawn from the report, a work which the board saw fit not to attempt. The story of cotton, as written by Mr. Mac Lea and published in the World from time to time, form one of the most interesting and Important features of the present campaign
