FARMER GETS LESS, BUT

He Has to Pay More For What He Doesn't Raise*. The United States department of agriculture has just announced that notwithstanding the increased cost of living among tlie people as a whole there was a greater decline in the prices paid to farmers from Aug. 1 to Sept. 1 this year than there was last year.

The average farm prices of the important crops (corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, flaxseed, [>otatoes. tobacco, cotton and hay. which represent about three fourths of the value of all the country’s crops) declined 7 per cent during the month, while in that time last year they declined in price only 4.4 per cent, and during the last four years the decline in price averaged 3.8 per cent. The average of farm prices on Sept. 1 was 2.8 per cent lower than on that date last year.

Prices paid to farmers on Sept. 1 this year, with comparison of prices paid on tiie same date last year, fol low:

1512. 1911 C°rn 50.776 |0.<59 Wheat ....................... 858 .848 oat s , 350 .404 Barley 335 770 B>'e .708 769 Buckwheat 7G6 .740 Flaxseed 1.626 2.036 Potatoes 650 1.137 Hay .... 12.140 14 610 Cotton 113 .118 Butter 242 "31 Chickens .i 113 ,ilj Eggs 191 .174 But the prices on tariff nurtured articles of manufacture which the farmer has to buy continue to soar

The third term candidate's favorite reply to the telling, unanswerable nr guments of Governor Wilson is that, the latter’s opinions are based "not on actual knowledge and experience, but ,by rending musty books on political economy.” The colonel himself at a tender age was put at hard labor! It is not often that a man whose whole life has been given up to politics and offieehoiding gets as horny handed as Mr. Roosevelt.in the rouks of labor and high finance.

Governor Wilson said to the newspa per men at the New York Press club banquet: “Suppose you bad a house of representatives mixed like the present senate. I think we could all go fishing for the next two years.” But he’s at the helm, and there won’t be any mix ing. Democrats—that’s all.

What's a moosette? A third term peekaboo!

WHY DR. WILEY IS FOR WILSON

He Says Taft and T. R, Are Soldiers of Fraud. ENEMIES OF PURE FOOD LAW. Famous Chemist Believes the Health of the Nation Demands Election of tho Democratic Ticket—He Appeals to Those Who, Like Himself, Have Been Republicans.

By HARVEY W. WILEY.

(Former Chief Chemist of the U. 8- * Department of Agriculture.) My appeal is chiefly to those who, like myself, have been lifelong Republicans. I believe that no kind of an administration is going to ruin the country. 1 have a high personal regard for each one of the candidates for president and vice president on all the tickets. AH the political platforms are mainly sound, and all promise effort In behalf of the whole-people. My Choice is not based on a platform. It was determined by my impressions of the real attitude of the candidates rO specting the public welfare. We are creatures of heredity and environ ment. In our attitude toward great public questions we are almost alto gether creatures of environment. What two men are by environment least likely to be swayed by special interests and most likely tolie guided by devotion to public welfare? Two of the candidates have already been tried in the presidential chair, and we know by experience what may be expected If either of them resumes his former seat on March 4, 1913. Mr. Roosevelt by reason of his attitude toward the food and drug act abandoned the consumers of the country to the rapacity of a few mercenary manufacturers. Under authority of congress I had carried on extensive experiments with my so called poison squad and found that certain substances—viz, benzoic compounds, sulphurous compounds and sulphate of copper (bluestone)—were Injurious to health.

The law conferred upon me as chief of the bureau of chemistry the duty of acting as h grand jury and determining whether foods and drugs were adul tptated or misbranded. Instead of appealing from my decisions to the courts, as the law requires, the users of these poisons appealed to President Roosevelt. lie not only listened to them, but he abrogated the plain provisions of the law, appointed a board not contemplated by the law and directed that these predatory interests might con tiuue tbeiV attacks on the health of the people uiftil this board, unknown to the law, should decide otherwise.

Can we safely trust the campaign for public health to Mr. Roosevelt? 1 cannot believe that to be the proper course. Mr. Taft inherited this exceedingly bad condition of affairs from his predecessor and has not only continued this illegal board under whose patron age adulterators are still poisoning the people, but he did worse. In the matter of the adulteration of distilled beverages in which Roosevelt upheld the legally constituted authorities Mr. Taft reversed that policy and threw the mighty weight of the executive ofliee to the support of the worst lot of adulterators that ever disgraced a country. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Marshall by their strenuous efforts in behalf of the food laws of their respective. states have given a positive promise to end such a threatening state of affairs They will support to the utmost the officials under the law who are trying to protect the public health and will make short shrift of those who have brought about these present unbear able conditions.

Wilson and Marshall by their education and environment are free from bias in favor of predatory interests and are inspired by true patriotic zeal in behalf of public welfare. I suppoTt the Democratic nominees in full knowledge that many of the prominent _ Democrats in congress have been in full sympathy with tl\e paral ysis of the food law in behalf of the unholy dollar. But when the Democratic president and vice president lend the aid of their powerful sympa thy in behalf of the public health those of their own party not in sympathy with them will be robbed of their for evil. If Roosevelt or Taft l>o chosen the soldiers of fraud and adulteration will be impregnably intrenched for another four years and benzoates, sulphates and adulterated alcoholic beverages will have a new lease of life

I believe also that President Wilson will renovate the department of agri culture, reeking, as it has been for the past twelve years, with scandals and favoritism. He will see tc it that the bureau of animal industry will protect the public health instead of the efforts of the 1 packers to sell diseased meats under the deceptive phrase “U. S. Inspected and Passed.” Under President Wilson no more Pin chots will be kicked out of the service, no more unspeakable McCabes will ex ercise dictatorial powers There wi’4 be no more cotton leaks and jungle atrocities, no more Everglade swin dies. Buccaneering, boasting and bun combe will give place to sane efforts for the promotion of real agriculture and the public health V „ Under Wilson the department of agriculture will be restored to Speak

ing terms with the state agricultural colleges and experiment stations, and the state officials will no longer be regarded as inferior beings, living only on the largess of a Washington cabal. I ask all who want honesty and faithful service in the department of agriculture. the promotion of public health and executives who have grown to manhood and lived in an environment favorable to that which makes for the public welfare to vote for Wilson and Marshall.

OPEN LETTER TO MR. BEVERIDGE

Asked to Explain How the Interests Are Against Him With the Harvester Trust For Him. Dear Mr. Beveridge:— You have been nominated by the Bull Moose for Governor of Indiana, and with your usual fine eloquence you are now engaged in advocating the policies proclaimed in your party platform. You have departed radically from the position you occupied for a quarter of a century in taking up many new isms that you would have denounced in 1896, as you denounced the reforms proposed by the democrats that year, as “anarchistic.” You contend In your keynote that you have long stood for woman’s suffrage, for the initiative, referendum and recall, and for a public utility commission, and insist that the “bosses” made it impossible to incorporate planks along these lines into the old party platforms. -

As a matter of fact, Mr. Beveridge, wern’t you in undisputed control of the Republican state convention of 1910? Didn’t you appear in person before the resolutions committee with a platform of your own which you literally forced down the throats of the committee?

Were you not responsible for leaving out of your platform that year all reference to the county option you now hold dear? —»Anri isn’t it true that you made no attempt to write a single one of the so-called humanitarian measures you now advocate into your platform? And did you have yourself in mind when you said in your keynote that the “bosses” prevented the adoption of such planks? In all your speeches this year you are saying that the Interests are against you. Isn’t it true, Mr. Beveridge, that your chief sponsor now is George W. Perkins, your long-time friend and companion, and that Mr. Perkins is the financial prop of your movement? Isn’t your friend and supporter, Perkins, the financial chairman now, as he was the organizer, of the Harvester trust that robs the farmers whenever they buy twine or tools? Isn’t Perkins one of the heavy men in the United States Steel trust? Wasn’t he long the first lieutenant of J. Pierpont Morgan?

Didn't he play an important part in the stealing of the money of the policy holders of insurance companies to finance the Roosevelt fight in 1904 and didn’t he narrowly escape the penitentiary as a result?

And this being true, and the world knows it is true, isn’t the Harvester trust, the Steel trust, and a portion of Wall street with you and behind you? More than that, Mr. Beveridge, haven’t you at different times received large campaign contributions from Mr. Perkins and don’t you have reasons to know that you will get more contributions from the same tainted source this year?

Then why say the Interests ar« against you while a large portion of the big men of Crooked Business are for you?

In this campaign you are appealing to Democrats for votes on the ground that the Bull Moose movement is not d Republican by-product but a sure enough new party.

Do you still believe as you did in 1896 that the followers of Mr. Bryan sere a crew of “repudiators” bent on dishonoring the flag? Do you still believe as you did in 1900 that the followers of Mr. Bryan are “traitors to the flag”? Do you still believe, as you have insisted for a quarter of a century that Democrats are incompetents or worse and that their leaders, including Jefferson, Jackson, Tilden, Hendricks, Cleveland and Bryan are incapables? And if you are ready to swallow your words along these lines and still Insist that the Bull Moose is not a byproduct of the Republican party why do you not insist on a county ticket in every county? And in counties where you do not put up a county ticket why do you announce that the Bull Moose jnust support the Republican county ticket in every instance and not the Democratic ticket in any instance?

Isn’t it due to the fact that you are now as you have always been a narrow partisan, bigoted in your partisanship—honestly so, perhaps? Honor bright; isn’t it true that you are merely a Republican out of a job? Tours for truth, CURIOUS CITIZEN.
