WILSON SPEAKS OH TARIFF
New Jersey' Governor Delivered An
Able Address Before the Dem
ocratic Club of New York.
Hi- Speech
New York, Jan. 3. The National
Democratic Club launched topight a
ir.ovement to make tariff reform the
paramount issue of the coming presi
dential campaign at a largely attended
dinner in its new club house on Fiftn
avenue, with Governor Woodrow Wil
son of New Jersey, as the principal
tpeaker. ; , . ;
Governor Wilson insisted that the
time had come for the country to set
itself free , from the burdens of the
protective tariffs . "We are rich
enough; we are safe enough in our
prosperity,! sure enough of our ca
pacity, of our skill and of- our re
sourcefulness to do this," he said. He
declared that the reform movement
Should be undertaken with resolution,
prudence; jopen-mindedness and' mu
tual concession.. "There are no old
scores to be paid off," he continued.
There are no resentments to be sat
isfied; there is no revolution to be
attempted, men of every interest must
be drawn into the conference as to
what it behooves us to do, and what
it is possible for us to do. No one
should be excluded from counsel, ex
cept those who will not come in on
terms of equality, and the common in
terest."! Congressman William W. Redfield,
of Brooklyn, and Francis Burton, Har
rison, of. New York1, were other speak
ers. The . club has appointed a com
mittee to lead a systematic and pro
gressive campaign tariff reform in aid
' of the i Democratic leaders in Con
gress.. .. ; j. . . -
Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, addressed the National Dem
ocratic Club here tonight on the topic,
"The Democratic Party and the Tar-'
ift." Once again, Mr. Wilson said, the
tsi iff had become "the chief and most
critical question of a campaign which
must decide the policy of our govern
ment, not only in this great matter,
but in I regard to a score ol things
"which the general adjustments of our
life.' .
He continued in part:
"Our tariff policy has not for sev
eral generations been based upon any
principle whatever, but oniy upon a
bystem of favoritism, of patronage, of
arbitrary fosterage by the Federal gov
ernment. -
"The strength of American Industry
lies in the skill and intelligence of
the American workman, and the ca
pacity of i American superintendents
ind managers; and the efficiency and
Klo.ry of the workingman depend upon
fdl the moral and physical elements in
volved in the circumstances of his em
ployment. .
"If this country is to be the snug
harbor for those, who are at a disad
vantage in the markets of the world,
n-hy should it not also by the conven
ient method of combination, be a re
iuge for those who are also at a dis-
advantage
c-8 itself.
in the markets of Ameri
Are there not evidences
that it! has become just that? Have
riot, great combinations recently ef
fected in this country brought about
just such a result? Of a dozen mills
ot factories brought together in a
f ingle trust or combination, there is
clways a Very considerable variety in
Ihe so-called icost of production. In
tome the i machinery has -not been
l:rought up to date; the plant is not
built in a way to lend itself to the
. nrost efficient methods of production;
Ihe market is not quite so accessible;
the source of raw materials is more
difficult of access. Again and again
it has 1 happened that, after tne com
bination was effected the less efficient
factories and mills were closed down,
md only the more efficient continued
in operation; but the business as new
!y constituted had to carry the cost
of the ! original merger of the inefli
cjent mills and factories. They were
probably 'put into the combination at
a figure greatly exceeding their real
value. ' ; .
"This figure enters into the issue of
the securities of the corporation; the
profits must be made upon those fig
i j res if the stockholders are to get
dividends; and so the country must
carry for an indefinite period ineffi
cient establishments which haVe been
actually ' closed and put out of busi
ness. And this very process itself,
shows the futility of any attempt to
base duties upon .'cost. of production.'
'."When America was in ler infancy;
when her resources were undevlop-
ed; when her industries were at -their
beginning; there was much to be said
for a system of - artificial stimulation
and protection. But long after that
period was passed, and ,that reason
for the maintenance of the system of
protection cut away, it was maintain
ed upon other theories and with oth-
. er, purposes, and it has grown until it
has become ' a veritable incubus, not
merely upon the consumer, but upon
the business of the country itself,
and on it have been built up great
combinations and, monopolies,, which
have drawn upon themselves univer
-sal condemnation. . ; .
"We are rich enough, we are safe
enough in our prosperity ; we are sure
enough of our capacity, of our skill, of
our - resfl-orcef ulness, to set ourselves
free at last. We are ready now in
our maturity to return to the uses of
government of. which the mature can
approve. ! Taxation must never be
used for the benefit of some at the ex
pense of others.. The power of the
government must never be loaned to
those who cannot sustain themselves
The only legitimate object of taxation
is revenue for the Bupport of the gov
eminent."

HIGH FINANCE SCHEME
rorgeries In Connection With Albion
National Bank in Micnigan
Eattle Creek, Mich., Jan. 3. P. M.
Dearing, implicated with his father,
H. M. Dearing, cashier of the closed
Albion National Banit, in the alleged
forgery of over $100,000 worth of notes
drawn on wealthy farmers in, the vi
cinity of Albion, resulting in the fail
ure of the bank, stated in an inter-
iew tonight that he had been rorgmg
the notes for ojer five years in order
tc- finance the Cook Manufacturing
Company of which he was secretary
and treasurer and which closed down
uesday.
Dearine could not state just how
much the forgeries amounted to,&t
said that it took $20,000 a year to
meet the payroll and that the concern
had lost large sums of money annu
ally for over five years. He asserted
that he and his father would plead
guilty. ,
Dearing stated that he thought his
father was more heavily implicated in
the forgeries than himself. The mon
ey, he. related, had been sunk in en
terprises in which the bank was inter
ested, and in order to keep he bank
rom closing it doors before it aid,
they forged large notes,
The father and son were arrested
late today by United States Marshal
Campbell, , of Detroit, and brought to
this city tonight for a hearing before
United States Commissioner S. O.
Clark. Cashier Dearing is president
of the Cook Company, extensive loans
to which are said to have precipitate
the bank's difficulties. c
In the hearing tonight before Unit
ed States Commissioner Clark, H. M.
Dearing, cashier of the failed Albion
National Bank, and his son, P. M.
Dearing, pleaded guilty to charges of
embezzlement and forgery. ,They
were bound over to the Detroit grand
jury, and bonds were placed at $25,000
each. .
Both men made full signed confes
sions. They told of their operations
by .which they obtained $90,000 from
the bank by means of notes to which
they forged either fictitious names of
the names of wealthy farmers living
near Albion. In addition to this
amount they admittedthat forged doc
uments signed by the Cook Manufac
turing Company, of which the elder
Dearing was president, and- the son
secretary treasurer,, would bring their
total peculations up to about $144,000.
The father, an aged white haired
man, told the story of his dealings
with quivering lips. His face was
drawn, pale and haggard and he seem
ed to be Buffering under a great load.
Occasionally he brushed tears from
his eyes.' '
The younger Dearing seemed calm
and composed. When asked if he had
any statement to make he said only
one that he "had toen trying to run
a business on wind." In this he re
ferred to the Cook Manufacturing
Company, which he acknowledged had
been financed during the last, five
years or more on money obtained by
forging notes. "My father and I have
nothing to show for the amount of
money, embezzled;" he said, ."all, or
most of it, went to the up-keep of the
Cook concern. I wanted to make a
clean breast of everything from the
start and am now ready to take my
medicine."
TO DEPOSE GUFFY.
Democrats Will Have a House Clean
ing in Pennsylvania.
Washington. Jan. 3. Renewed ef
forts to depose Col. James M. Guffy
as Pennsylvania member of the Dem
ocratic National Committee in favor
of Representative . Mitchell Palmer,
will be made at the meeting of the
Democratic National Committee Janu
ary 8th, when it convenes . here to
name the time and place for holding
the Democratic National convention.
A statement was sent out today to
the members of the National commit
tee by the' opposition to Col. Guffy
signed by George Guthrie and James
Blakeslee, chairman and secretary
respectively, of the Democratic State
central committee of Pennsylvania,
and by Representative Mitchell Pal-
mefas member of the National com
mittee. The statement accuses him
and his friends of "having a close part
nership between the Democratic Stafe
organization and the Penrose ma
chine."
On March 2nd, 1911, a special meet
ing. was called of the Democratic State
committee when the position of. Dem
ocratic National committeeman from
Pennsylvania was declared vacant and
committee of seven appointed to
name a new member. This was done
March 4th, ( 1911, when Mr. Palmer
was named, and at a meeting of the
full 'committee on July 19th, his selec
tion was ratified, and the action of
the committee which selected Coi. Guf
fy was rescinded.
Col. Guffy asserted that the action
of the committee' was illegal and ir
regular and that it had no authority
to remove hfm. The opposition con
tends that "undoubtedly the State
committee-had the legal right ' to de
clare a vacancy in its chairmanship;
sucn Is the universal rule in. all par
liamentary bodies. The chairman was
not a member of the committee, but
had been theretofore selected by a
majority of its members as its presid
ing officer."
Representative Palmer in a supple
mentary statement deelared that the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania
must be rehabilitated " and that the
house-cleaning must be complete.
The future success of the Demo
cratic party in Pennsylvania, he de
clared. "I5"a ereat measure denends
upon the action . of the Democratic Na
tional Committee in this contest."'
REVENGE THE THEORY.
Mrs. Godau Wanted Revenge as Well
' as Insurance.
Mobile, Ala., Jan. 3. Further Jnves
tigation and developments indicate
that revenge in addition . to securing
the 17,000 insurance, may play, a part
in the theory of a motive for the crime
in the case of Mrs. Mary T. Godau, the
self confessed murderess of her son-
in-law, Policeman - Fred Wasserlaben
The woman claims that she advanced
Wasser laben $1,500 with ' which to op
en a saloon and that he failed in, busi
ness and that, she 'bought him a river
launch with which to carry excursion
parties on the river and that he dis
posed of it and, she never received a
cent in return. " The old woman is be
lieved to be on the verge of, a col
lapse as she spends most of the time

TRIAL OF PACKERS DBA6GIII6
Witness Says Pools' Were Organized
to Prevent Glutting of the Mar- 5
ket Unwilling Testimony.
Chicago, Jan. 3. William D. Miles,
general manager for . the ' ' Armour
Packing Company, at Kansas ,City,
from 1894 to 1902, testified today In
the trial of the ten Chicago packers,
charged with criminal violation of the
Sherman law, that the old packers'
pools were v organized 'to prevent the
glutting of the market with fresh meat
and that there always was active com
petition between the members in all
parts, of the ' country.
Despite the fact that Miles had on
two occasions given testimony' against
the packers before Federal grand, ju
ries, he proved an unwilling witness
today, and litt!3 of value, to the gov
ernment's case was gleaned from his
direct examination, which was not
concluded when N;aurt adjourned for
the day. : . . .
The witness brought j out for the
first time that there was a "black test
cost" and a "red bast cost" used in the
bookkeeping of the Armour Packing
Company, the former being used as
the flat price of the animal and the
latter included freight and other items
of expense .
The government contends that the
"red . test cost" was secretly used by
the combination in the fixing of the
price of meat.
OVERCAPITALIZATION THEME
Senator LaFollette Makes Notable
- Utterances at Chicago -Meeting.
"Chicago, Jan.. 3. Asserting that
over-capUalization of corporations was
the primary cause of the high cost of
living, : Senator Robert M. LaFollette,
in a speech tonight, marking his first
appearance in Illinois on his present
campaign tour, declared it was 'im
pcesfble for the governmeot longer
to subject great money interests to
reform. -
"I know as much about the trust
side of this question as I know about
the people's," said Senator LaFollette.
"I am not afraid of the biggest trust
on earth. They cannot continue to
strap on the people the burden of this
over-capitalization which is the cause
of the high cost of living.
4 Over-capitalization has gone on to
the extent that all the big business of
the country is on stilts. We have got
to bring it down, but it cannot be done
n a moment. If you took all of the
water out of It at once it would do
much harm and hurt many innocent
people. The problem of the bsef, the
harvester and the steel trusts has- to
be worked BClentifically. It will be
worked out scientifically, if I have
anything to do with It, and I expect
to have a good deal to do with it."
Senator LaFollette was interrupted
here by prolonged cheering.' The as
sertion was. taken by his friends as
dispelling any doubt as to his intention
of remaining in the race for ths Re
publican 'Presidential nomination.

cent, of their wages, the guards were
withdrawn and the men returned . to
their camp.
