But the eruption is vrstly differ ent with the farmer when he comes to buy the tools, machinery, cloth ing ar.d other necessities of lif?. Tie firds every article that he usoa In produefng his cror-4 taxed higher and higher, until, as Gov.

The ownership of a one-half in terest in the Western Sugar Refin ing Company netted the Havemeyer interests $12,950,000 in 21 years. In one year, 1898, this concern paid the Havemeyers six hundred thou sand dollars.. When the company 8 orlz 'he Havemeyer. put 1 in a million dollars capital, and the Spreckles people another million. Two years later this money was re turned to the investors, so that all the profit they subsequently took out was "velvet.' Thus he tariff on sugar Is shown to be a good thing for the millionaire owners of the sugar trust Popular Government. - In his speech of acceptance Presi dent Taft said the great issue before the people was the retention of pop ular constitutional representative government- j never occurred to Mr- T,af t that the greatest; period of unrest in this country since war days has been brought about by the millionaire trust owners who, while shoutjng about popular government. have made a farce of common, everj jdiy justice.

Brewer Pleasant Grove 'hst Mr. Taft and his aides have administered- Meat Prices Here and Abroad On Friday, August 24, prime sirloin of beef sold in London for MIKE WRITES PAT AGAIN- Puzzled Over Statement of the Mighty Colonel-' My dear Patrick: A statement In the call for a progressive convention has just come to my attention, and I am' both amazed and puzzled- "We wll stand at Armageddon, and we battle for the Lord " Our first impression, after reading that statement, and the one by wh.icb we still stand, is that the Lord who created heavneand the earth sould not be the one in mind a1 the time the convention was called, for He doesn't use such a host with which to do battle against Hia enemies- Now, let us see if that Is a reasonable conclusion Would Lord of heaven and earth call upon the Prudential Insurance Company for $26,000 of the money reserved to pay widows and orphans who have lost husbands and fathers to use in the campaign for the pur pose of electing Roosevelt toi fur ther oppress said widows and or phans? Would He call on the Standard Oil Company for $100,000 to still further Teddy's campaign at the ex pense of the oppressed? Would He call on Harriman for $225,000 for-the purpose of bujjing votes for Theodore Roosevelt, and then direct Roosevelt to call Harri man a liar? Would He call on the New York Life Insurance Company and the Equitable Life Assurance Society for $100,000 each for the purpose of a campaign for the purpose of fasten ing a protective tr.iflff on the poor and oppressed people of this nation: the enrichment of J- Pierpont Morgrn, John D. Rockefeller Geo. Perkins and other multi-mil lionaires? Would He who Is perfectly right eous cr.ll upon a man who Is bfling backed both in his campaisrni for the nomin-.tion and the one for elec tion by Geo- W- Perkins, directed and representative of the Harvester Trust, which chargps "every man' in this state and nation who purchases a reaper at least $50 more than it is worth because the protective tariff allows him to filch money from the poor and oppressed? In fact, does any one believe; He would call on the crowd that follows Theodore Roosevelt to do battle In His name? It is sacrilegious, in our opinion, for a nuu to make such) a statement in a call for a political convention lriiip a i-ampaign r.nd for a fac tion, nt't n 1 arty, which has glj'-i out so n-ai;y vituperou sj-atemen-s iIjM"? tins campaign That being the case, we presume that tie' ere ho made the cill f; r i-(.nv ntion did nctmean ie LmM cf Iv'! veil and earth, but sp"? only of his chief ,Theodo.-o Roosev-.t, whom hr in'ns "Lord-" Froceed 11 jn the fiFSU'i jtion that tfrla waj b' mei.tioii. we will look at the nut ter in aiioii'er way- We note that the snme crowd hns not only obliterated Taft from the f.KC r : e twh with their mlgh-v numtiil mi fit and liclr unpa. u- cl! '. v'.siVsm in the use of the rr. incl the press, but they are now pro- I ,,,, to annihilate Woodrow Wll ; p wilf.on. He is doomed not beccuee the voters cf the Unit ed Statas,?mong them a few Repub liian governors, do not think he is able to make a good president, but because lhcs who write editorial sayings for the Bull Moosers in this country have decreed it. And now to all the Democrats, let us say: There is no further use for you to support Woodrow Wilson It will simply be .throwing away your time and votes. ' The Bull Meese have decreed it It must happen- (Old Dinger Bill says that if geese is the plural of goose then meese is the plural of moose- So I have adopted his usage. If we are to form our judgment from the attitude of those who sup port Theodore Roosevelt, or "Roos envelt," as one Randolph Republi can has called hjlm we need not be surpried to hear them call him "Lord-" After a while, if they keep on "progressing" at their pres ent rate, they wjll be claiming that the country not only belongs to him bat that ho made it. And why should you not believe they will do it? They would bebut following their leader- You ask The odore Roosevelt who made the earth and see ,lf he doesn't say "1' did it.' v -... , "RULL MOOSE" CONVENTION Met In Greensboro Tuesday Dr. Cyrus Thompson for Governor, The first State convention of Roosevelt's third party for North Carolina met In Greensboro Tuesday of this week, with about one-fourth! of the counties represented by about 150 delegates in mass meeting. Iredell Meares, of New Hanover, presided, and saveral speeches were made- Senator Colby, of New Jer sey, a persons! friend of the "Bull Moose" candidate was present and addressed the meeting- A telegraph ic message of greetings from the Colonel to North Carolina Progress ives was read to the convention by Chairman Meares- Dr- Cyrus Thompson waa nomi nated for governor and Iredell MearcS, of New Hanover,, and J F ' Newell, of Mecklenburg, for electors at large- A full set of dis trict electors was also nominated- Ask him who busted the trusts that Taft and Wickersham busted. and see if he doesn't say "I did It- Ask him who made the constitu tion of the United States, and see if he doesnt Bay "I did it." Ask him who is the constitution of the United States! at the present! time, and see If he doesn't say "I am It." If you ask Uim who is the might iest Bull Moose, he will answer, "I am the first and the mightlesf Bull Moose." If you ask him who makes the -un to shine, ycfc, need have no sur prise if be lays clajtm to that deed, and to bringing down the rain upon the earth, pinning back the curtains of night with the stars that glitter hove us, making the earthquakes, et cetera. How enn the Democrats hope to rlT.t Woodrow Wilson with men Vn;r thoro sgrlns him? How can th"y hope to overcome the modern Nnpoleon? And then think about the terrible effect that the circula tion, of the Randolph Republican papers v.UFhave on Wilson's cam paign fi'-vn tha AMant'c to the , Pacific, and from Canada to' Mex ico. I have been puzzled to know what is to become of those of us wliqf do not join the Bull Moose part, and trke part in their dleiberations, and in the liberation of the country from tho Constitution which hss bound it down and oppressed it all these long yeciis, to the great shame of Theo dore, the mighty- I trn really frightened- Do you not think we all had better run to theprogrersive party, ;nd joim in progress tpt is . being m".de from consitutioral gnvernmen . to trust government urder Kirg The odore?
