OREGON APPLES
ARE IN DEMAND
Consul at Southampton, .England,
Writes of Karket There for Ore-
i gon-grown Fruit Demand Con
stantly Increasing.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec 2
Consul Swalm, of Southampton, Eng
land, reports that Imports of apples
in cases at; Southampton hare greatly
Increased in tho past two years, a
growth to which tho orchardlsts ot
tho state of Oregon have contributed
largely. Oregon wrapped and select
ed case apples havo been on tho Eng
lish market for years, and have won
an enviable place.
Tho financial results ot tho second
year of this fruit In the Southampton
market led a number of Oregon
growerB to do their own shipping and
conslKning. with a view to direct
trading.1 Tho demoralizing effect of
tlieso indiscriminate shipments can
best bo known by concrete examples
Tho season's first consignment of
choice Oregon Jonathans sold quickly
at $3 per case at quayside, with a
demand hooked that would have
taken the entire Jonathan crop from
that state; hut between tho arrival
at Southampton of tho first and sec
ond consignments ono of 3000 cases
of extra fancy Jonathans was sent to
qovent Garden, in London, and sold
at auction at J 1.50 to ?2 per case,
tints naturally demoralizing the local
market.
, Tho result was that Instead Tf a
well regulated sale of that apple at
good prices throughout the season,
tho early buyers found themselves in
competition with dealers whoso fruit
had cost them much loss. A con
signment of Spitzenburgs netted Us
Oregon grower 2.75; soon after
ward tho samo variety was auctioned
off at Covent Garden at $2 per case,
netting tho grower of that shipment
n,bout $1. Another species was sold
at Southampton at $1.80 not, but
Covent Garden auctioned a consign
ment of the samo kind of apples at
$,1.G0 and less, freight and commis
sion, to bo deducted.
A somewhat different roBult was
obtained, to tho Oregon apple, known
iu Southampton as tho Winter Ba
nana. Control ot tuiB variety foil
into tho hands ot ono man, who Ju
diclously fed tho consignment to tho
market at constantly advancing
juices, tho actual sales in lots bolng
at $4 to JC not to tho producor.

from tho wt'Bt aro of vast importance
tp tho American orehardist. If tho
grower is rightly advised and follows
t good business policy, ho can ho sure
of profJtablo roturns in Southampton
innrkot, but ho must keep control of
his shlpmentB, novor allowing tho Co
Vent Garden auction to mnko him a
victim. Tho producor has an un

THE DWAlfllTES,
TT SEEMS lo bo tho unltyluimto fnlo oC labor to oon
Jl Hnuiillv oxnlt orooks. thiiirs. dvnaimtois and urnl'ters,
who, masquoradini? in the
upon their toiling victims, and sooic to povnoiuaie men
leadership through aets of insane violence.
Crimes commuted in the name of labor are seldom tho
work of tho toiler, but rather of those whom our socialist
friends call in other classes "parasites," the walking dele
gate aud agitator who live upon and by others' toil. Union
ism is not to blame for the dynamiters, yet it is unionism
that suffers by their cowardly outrages.
The Metfamnras are unspeakable. Their moody nanus
have not only wantonly and needlessly sacrificed innocent
humanity, but they have imposed upon the confidence and
bctraved the faith of millions of honest workmen; who
were led to believe them champions of the cause of labor,
attacked by organized greed.
Onlv contempt can be the portion of Clarence Darrow,
., r . ., i i. i i-a. j. it
who smote the rock of public credulity that a golden
stream of revenue might gush forth from the pockets ot
the poor. Knowing from the beginning the guilt of these
dynamiters, ho vehemently protested their innocence to
a misguided people, that he might reap an enormous fee
from the scantv savings of the toilers.
No capitalist, not even General Otis, ever exploited the
people more thoroughly than the MeNainnras and their
defenders, phnrisees of altruistic beliefs and humanitarian
professions. Their graft was nation-wide and they kept
at it until the coils had so tightened that the ease was
hopeless. Caught bribing a juror, the game was up, and
the dynamiters confessed to save lives not worth the
saving.
And now we are told by the Associated Press that "the
principles of the teachings of Jesus and the golden rule
settled the MeNaniara case"! "What a travesty upon re
ligion! "What parody upon the golden rule!
Not the Cost of Living, but the
Standard of tLiving Has Gone Up
By E. J. Kenny in the American Maga'tie for November, 1011.
As a boy In the early '70s 1 rc
momber going to the store for my
mother and paying nothing less, than
$1 per pound for tea. Flour was C or
7 cents per pound. Sugar was S to
10 cents, coffeo 40 and 45 cents. A
pair of high boots, such as I wore
in the winter, cost $7.50 or $S, and
to mako them last they were copper
toed. My father was a country par
son with never more than $1000 per
annum. I'm a free lance, earning
from $2300 to $4000. 'Is true, I'm
no better off than was my father,
but tho fault is mine, not the cost ot
necessities. I pay GO cents a pound
for tea, 3 or 4 cents for flour, 5 to
7 cents for sugar, 29 to 35 cents for
coffee, $3.50. to $4 for tho boots
without protectors.
Then why Is it so7
Simply this: I have altered the
wholo plan of living as compared
with ray father's time, and Instead of
doing the thousand and one things
personally which my parents did for
themselves, I employ others to do
thom for me, and, of course, have to
pay them.
Tho Cost of a Steak Depends on
Handling.
A dollar Is not a unit of gold, but
a unit of labor. Now, labor Is dear
in this country because it is scarce,
and for no other reason.
TIs true, I pay 25 cents a pouna
for steak, but this is not duo to a
beef trust or robber this or robber
that, but because of tho manner In
which I demand my steak shall bo
bandied and handed to mo beforo I
will recolve and pay for It. As a
matter of fact, I could not havo ob
tained such a steak at 50 cents per
pound fifteen years ago.
Market Ilnsket Hotter Tlian
Telephone,
It I do as my daddy did, get up In
the morning, take my market basket
aud walk to tho places whero tho
samo quality of food and vegetables
as ho bought aro still handled, I will
get them at the samo price. Dut If
I demand my steaks and chops
brought to my door, handled from
tho day tho animal was born In tho
most Intelligent and scientific man
ner, fed and killed In up-to-dato con
ditions, hauled to mo In automobiles,
wrapped In wax papor and delivered
by a boy in a clean white apron, I
havo to pay for tho labor Involved.
Twenty-five Cents Iluys Hotter Meal.
Again, ns a boy In tho early '80s,
working as a clerk for flvo dollars
per week, In Philadelphia, I received
GO cents for supper money when wo
wore required to work oxtra. Of
courso, I hunted up a 2G-cent place
to eat, so that the other quarter
would buy somo amusement or othor.
Today, for 2G cents, I can get a hot
ter meal In Now York restaurants of
tho samo class, tho latter bolng much
cleaner.
In short, it Is not tho cost of liv
ing that has gono up, but tho stand
ard ot living.
All tho howling wo country boys
brought up on a dollar,-a'day stand
ard oimy do is usoloss, so long as wo
try to muJo our now ten-dollarra-day
'income pay for a flfteen-dollar-a-day
stylo, I tried housekeeping in Lon
don In 1004. Routed a furnished
nmnilo of a just oauso, proy
house, in tho southeast section, New
Cross. Kept the same woman who
had worked for the rogulnr occu
pants. Wo trlod to live on our reg
ular Now York Harlem-flat standard.
Tho woman opened her oyes, so did
we, at tho bills. Yes, living is
cheaper in London, but only by the
London-living standard. So It Is in
New York, If we stick to the sque
dunk standard.
Lnttorlng Clns Live Ilcttrr.
Dut tho laboring man? A few
years ago wo had no such man in
America. He doesn't exist today In
certain parts of New York, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, or
Texas, or any other state. Wo hear
a lot about his suffering on the East
Side. Go look where he enmo from.
As a matter of fact, ho doesn't know
how to llvo any hotter than ho docs.
He is living so much better than he
did, that ho can hardly stand it.
I, an American by eight or ten
generations ot rosidenco here, went
to school with boys and girls ot tho
samo class; patches on my pants and
boots woro common, also on those ot
tho other boyB. My boy goos with
tho children of fathers who do not
yet wear a hat and mothora to whom
a shawl Is still enough, and yet I
look In vain for tho patchos on their
pants or copper on tho toes of their
shoes.
Comparison of Hank Statements
Proves It.
Finally, I would suggest a compari
son of the. savings banks' statements
of today, ten years ago, twenty years
Lago; and bo on. They roprosont tho
results of labor In tho United States.
Take tho per capita average. In
England, Franco and Germany, tho
great tnlddlo class uso tho savings
banks to an extent unknown hero by
tho samo class of people. Don't for
got that. E. J. Kenney, In American
Magazine, November, 1911.
