As the Democratic nomine» [for the office of Sheriff of Polk j County, I respectfully ask your support at the general election v to be held next Tuesday, promis i n g you if elected I shall con- ftin u e to serve you to the best of my ability. A s to my record as Sheriff, the people alone must judge. However, I deem it not out of place to submit a few facts for your consideration. The first year I filled this office, the tax roll amounted to $106,- 025,33. The roll for the year 1911, now being closed reaches a total of $305,551,99. The number of legal papers coming into my hands annually for service is now nearly four times as great as the number served during my first year in office. Notwithstanding this enormous increase of business, the cost of conducting the affairs of the o f fice has not been increased to the taxpayers. While three times as much money is now being han dled annually, the collecting is now being done with the same number o f deputies. I might add that the delin- (,u rnt tax this year was less in dollars and cents that when the tax roll was only one-third as large. Polk county can safely ¡Hvite a comparison of its delin quent tax roll with that of any other county in the state, be such county large or small. The results attained are due to improved systems adopted in handling the public money, and to the further fact that the ex perience gained in the office work enables myself and depu ties to perform a vastly greater amount of work in a day. On this record, I respectfully solicit your aid in the coming election, assuring you that your support will be gratefully appre ciated. _ JOH N M. G R A N T. Paid Adv. ; J j I ! | i . m u i>.

But the Republicans full to refer to the fact that the Republic an tariff law was in force during more than twelve of the sixteen months o f greatest business disasters. This fact must be remembered—the McKinley tariff bill became a law O ct 6, 1890, and the first indications o f the 1803 panic were seen Nov. 11, 1890, scarcely more than thirty days after the Mc Kinley law was passed, and the panic reached its worse stage in 1893 aud early in 1894. during which time the McKinley law was in full force.

MANUFACTURER KEEPS PROFIT P r o o f of D e m o c r a t ic P la t f o r m ’s S o u n d n e s s C ite d In R e p o rt s of W a g e I n v e s tig a tio n s. By F R A N K L IN P IE R C E . For a hundred years o f our history the manufacturers, believing that they received a Lieuefit from Hie protective tariffs, have iugeuiously devised pl.iusi ! ble pretexts for imposing increased prices upou the necessaries o f life. At first they said that industry in our I country was in its infancy and needed | protection. When those industries had become strong and ueeded no aid the- manufacturers invented the theory that the foreigner paid the duty. This theory was exploded, and they declar ed that cheap clothing meant cheap men and was not a blessiug. Driven from every one of these inde fensibie positions, their final and only argument left today is that the tariff is imposed upon foreign imports to en able the manufacturer to increase íiíh profits and pay higher wages. The Democratic platform declares that: “ In the most highly protected indus tries. such as cotton and wool, steel and Iron, the wages o f the laborers are the lowest paid iu any of our indus tries.” W a g e s In C o t to n In d u s t ry . Under (he existing Payne-Aldrlch tariff law actual imports of cotton cloth paid in 1910 average duties of 50.4 per t ent. In 1905. when work and wage condi tions in the cotton industry were ex ceptionally good, the wages o f 202.211 cottou mill operatives in the United States—men, women and children—av eraged only $0.47 a week. The average wage for men was but $7.71 a week, for women $0.30 and for children. $3.21. As to the profits, seventeen leading ootton mills, with total capitalization j f $25.110.000 and total surplus o f $21,- 363.501. paid in uiue years dividends averaging 22 (>er cent. The cotton manufacturers turned out in 1905 $142.451.218 worth o f goods and paid in wages therefor $94,337,095, or 21 per rent o f the value o f the finished product. E x to r t io n o f W o o l T a r iff. Outside o f the duties on tw o or three commodities o f comparatively little im portan e. the duties on woolen cloth are the highest o f any in the tariff schedules. According to Senator Reed Smoot, owner o f a woolen mill at ITe- vost. Utah, and chairman o f the finance committee In charge o f tariff legisla tion in the senate, wearing apparel val tied at 30 cents a pound now pays 200 2-3 per cent duty. This and other correspondingly higli duties on the manufactures of wool are made to enable the manufacturer to pay Ids labor an Increased wage over those of forelgu countries. But he duty on woolen goods is nearly five • lines tlie entire labor cost, while the \mericnn manufacturers in 1905 paid n wages only 18 per cent o f the total *alue o f their production. At Lawrence in this most highly pro- pi ted Industry the laborers were oblig- d to strike even for u living wage, i* lint i sun da o f adult males were reeel v nly only from $•» to $9 a week and nnny only $5 to $6 a week. As a re- ult o f the strike the American Woolen •■otnpftny gave Its employees slight In creases In wages. The wool tariff Mil vetoed by Presi dent Taft reduced the duties on raw wool from 42.20 to 29 |>er cent and on manufactures o f wool from 87.05 to 48.30 per cent. Mr. Taft said he ve toed it because the proposed rates did not comply with the findings of the tariff board. Senator La Follette con tradicted the president, saying that the proposed rates varied from 1 per cent lower to 11.0 higher than the tariff board’s findings Justified. L o w W a g « « In 8t«ol.
