voted the Repub-
many years write
br the election of
lings .Bryan on ac-
tariff as exploited by
tenublican party. Investi
gations show that oar American
machinery and other exportations
can be bought for just half the
price asked in our country, on the
Mexican border.
These astounding revelations
have caused thousands of Repub
licans to flock under the banner of
Bryanism. O. B. Steen of Los
Angeles, Cal., has made a study
of the tariff question as it is car
ried on under the Republican
regime.
Mr. Steen has undisputed proof
on this matter and in speaking of
the tariff question said :
"One phase of the tariff ques
tion that Beems of sufficient im-
nnrforna rlamgnH rnhl ifMfcv in
this campaign is the alleged ban
ance of trade claimed by the pro
tective tariff league and officially
confirmed by government reports.
"When you ask why that bal
ance of trade was not apparent in
the shape of gold imports from
abroad, the sterotyped reply has
been that it was carried as credit
balances in Europe which we
could draw against when needed.
Republicans have been painfully
silent in regard to this mythical
balance, due us since the panic be
gan. The attention of the pub
lie was first called to this fallacy
in June, 1907, when we borrowed
some millions of gold from France,
practically hypothecating future
exports of American wheat that
had not been harvested. Since
that time we have imported many
millions of gold, all of which have
been borrowed. My investiga
tions show that an American type
writer appears upon our list of ex
ports at the American price, $105,
and is sold in Menico for $62.50,
the difference being a part of our
balance of trade that does not ex
ist except for campaign purposes.
I am credibly informed, by those
in position that thesame rule ap
plies in our exports to other coun
tries. Many men predicted their
plans for business enterprises up
on the official strtements that
enormous sums were due us from
foreign nations, and in conse
quence, the real business interests
of the country have suffered. As
a Republican I used to believe in
protection, and I may say I do
yet when necessary to protect
American labor ; but I do not be
lieve in that kind of protection to
American labor that pays an
American woman two cents for
making a shirt and a Chinaman
ten cents for washing it. I do
not belieye in that kind of pro
tection that charges an American
-girl $105 for a typewriter and sells
a Mexican banker one of the same
make for $60. I do not believe in
that kind of protection that en
ables the Mexican farmer to buy
American wire and nails 40 per
cent cheaper than the American
farmer, living almost within the
shadow of the factory where they
are made."

KAMSAS GETS THE PRIZE.
Some Interesting Stories of the Corn Crown
In 1 hat State.
The veracity of the Kansas farm
er iB never doubted, hence the
State Board of Agriculture is mak
ing preparations to hire men to
assist in the harvesting of the
greatest crop of grain the State
has ever known. In addition to
common harvest hands, the de
partment is looking for 10,000
good axmen, who according to re
ports, are needed to a sist in
harvesting the crop. The yield is
a little above the average, with
stalks running from three to five
feet through, and ears of corn any
where from nine feet to twenty
feet in length. In fact the corn
crop is so heavy that it has nar
rowlv escaped causing a lot of
casualities.
At Garden City, Bill Siucaller
and his family had a narrow es
cape from death. A Btalk of corn
growing in the yard was blown
over by tne wind ana crasnea
through the roof of his house,
almost completely demolishiugthe
building. Bill was pinned in bed,
but his eldest son, Frank, chopped
away the stalk after an hour of
hard -vork and extricated the old
man.
Experiments conducted by the
Metropolitan Water Company at
Medrcine Lodge, Kan., with the
reinforced cornstalk pipes have
proven successful, and a company
to manufacture them has been or
ganized. It is estimated that pipe
can be placed on the market at
one-tenth the cost of cast iron
pipe, and the new material wil
outwear the iron. The supply o
raw material is inexhaustable
The company willl be stocked for
$5,000,000.
Great excitement was caused a
Fort Ri ey when Troop N, Six
teenth cavalry, which -had been
participating in themaneuvers 1 he
night before, failed to report in
camp. A scout learned that they
were hemmed in by immense corn
stalks and unable to get out, and
hastened into camp with the news
The seise batteries were ordered
out with the engineer battalion
and after working all night chop
ping and dynamiting they got a
trail cut through and the trcop
returned to camp this morning.
A fast stock train on the B. & M.
was wrecked & mile east of Enter
prise by a cornstalk which had
fallen across the brack. The en
gine was demolished. Several
similar accidents have narrowly
been averted near here recently,
and the trains have" been given
slow orders when passing corn
fields.
Col. John Golong, of Exerter
township, has captured the $500
prize offered by the County Fair
association for a unique corn ex
hibit. Taking his plowing engine,
he hitched 46 farm wagons in
double column behind it and then
ran the train along his cornfield By
means of block and tackTe arrange
ment he loaded on his train one
of the largest stalks. Hauling
this to the fair grounds, he un
loaded it on the midway and had
it hollowed out. ' In each of the
sections he displayed some of the
products of his 7.500 acre farm,
and in the middle section fur
nished up comfortable quarters
for his family during fair week. ,
With the denuding of the for
ests and the continual increase in
the price of lumber, a new indus
try has spiung up at Leoti, Kan.,
in the manufacture of weather
boarding, fencing and such ma
terial out of the cornstalks. The
cornstalk timber has been found
to wear as well ai wood, and the
market is rapidly growing. Un
known liar.
Engineer and Fireman Killed.
Sonth6rn Railway southbound
passenger train No. 41, from
Charlotte to Seneca, ran into an
open switch one mile and a half
south of Welford, a station twelve
miles south of this city, tonight
about 8:45 and Engineer W. J.
Fonville, of Greenville, and bis
colored fireman were. killed. The
baggagemaster had a leg broken.
None of the passengers suffered
more than being shaken up. The
engine and tender turned com
pletely over. Dr. Earl, of Green
ville, rushed to the scene in an
automible and reudteed aid to the
injured baggagemaster. " A wreck
ing crew left here at midnight.
It is believed by officials of the
road that the switch was thrown

from the ends of the earth a dis'

The initial step will be taken

be a public opening at the new

with the congress, a tuberculosis
exposition. It will be one of the

in every way themost comprehen

will be illustrative of what is be

While the display is connected
with tne congress, it is not so
