Teddy has climbed back on the
itandpat Republican band-wagon by
praising President Taft in a public
speech. The Democratic landslide
seems to have sobered the great blus-,
terer.
Those people who are trying to
read William Jennings Bryan out of
Che Democratic party seem to lose
Bight of the fj.ct that the party would
be doomed to defeat if they succeed- j
ed in their efforts.
The first bs.ttle of Manassas. where
the green troops of the South de- j
feated almost twice their number,:
balf of whom were socalled soasoaeQ .
regulars, de>monstrated the fact that1
we dc not need a large standing army
to defend our country from foreign
Invaders. I
The reports from Washington
about the defenceless condition of
the country will make cold chills
creep up the backs of the New Eng
landers, who are always scared to
death by war rumors, hut tbey will
hardly affect the people of any other
sectira of the country.
* The German Government has put
a tax of one dollar per ton on potash,
which is used largely by Southern
Cancers. This will cost our farmers
q gcod many dollars, and we would
like to see the tax taken off, but as
our government taxes a good many
German made goods we fear there is
no chance for that
In. making Associate Justice White
?Of the Unltedl States Supreme Court,
?Chief Justlco of that tribunal. Pres
ident Taft gives tc the (South the
Exighest national honor conferred on
this section since the close of the
?Civil war. If the South can furnish
<a chief justice for the nation's high
?st court, why can't it furnish the
nation with a president?.
Chief Justice White was one of
the "fossilized" justices of the
United States Supreme Court whom
Mr. Roosevelt rebuked for the de
cision in the Knjght case. Yet at
e. big dinner the other night Teddy
toasted the President for making
Justice White Chief Justice, and then
-<eai<tM Chief Justice White himself.
Could" anything be more Rooseveltlan
than that!.^
It was heralded nil over the coun
try just before the election' that
President Taft had appointed a Bos
ton negro to a very important office
In Washington. Now It is intimated,
that his nomination will be with-j
drawn, as the office to which ho was'
appointed will be unnecessary after j
the present incumbent serves his j
time oiiL At least that Is what i
Ctacle Joo Cannon says.
Nearly all the fine colored po3t- j
cards eseri In this country up to a '
few months ago were raa'e in-Gcr-l
many, but the duty imposed on th^m
by the now tariff Jaw now shuts
them out. and dealers are now com
pelled to nay a higher price for iu-;
ferior cards made In thte country, i
Possibly tti:s la one of the reasons
why Germany has put a one dollar
p\;r ton fax on potash.
In putting a tax on potash of one
dollar per ton. Germany Ib giving the
United Slates BQuie of its own medi
clr^i. The only trouble about the
tax Is that It falls principally on the
farmers of the South, who suffer a3
much as the Germans do from the
Operations of the tariff on which they
are retaliating by putting this tax
on potash. Thus it Is the farmers are
robbed coming and a-going.
Bryan is right In contending that,
the reorganization of the Democratic
party now 3hould not be entrusted
to the socalled Democrats who'helped
to elect Taft two years ago. The
Baltimore 3un was a stron? sup
porter of the Republican ticket In
1508. but it now wants to take
?Charge- and direct the Democratic
?oampalgn. We welcome back to the
fold all erring Democrats, but wo
*re opposed to putting them in
?Charge of the vital Interests of the
oarty.
Senator La Folette. the great In
surgent Republican, gave out when
ho reached Washington the other
day that he had been operated on
during the recess and cured of a
trouble that had impaired his activ
ities. When Crane, the standpat Re
publican Senator from Massachu
setts heard this, he threw up his
hands and exclaimed: "Good Lord!
If La Pollette was sick all the time
Jie was kicking up those rumpuses In
the Senate the past three years, what
are we to expect now that he is
? New Cotton Compress.
. The world's progress during the
past two centuries has been largely
a history of labor-saving and time
saylng Inventions, says the Atlanta
Journal. To this wonderful record
another chapter has bean added by
the perfection of a cotton compress
that reduces the size, improves the
quality and greatly economizes the
transportation cost of the cotton
bale. It is called the-Neely com
press and, according to every indica
tion, it means higher industrial ad
vancement for all the south. A full
description of this press was pub
lished In The Times and Democrat
several months ago.
Perhaps the most signal gain made
by t'-is invention lies in the fact
that it does away with recompress
ing. Under the old system the far
mer's wagon load of cotton must be
hauled to a ginnery, waence after it
had been ginned and loosely packed,
it must be shipped by rail to a steam
I compress, frequently over a long dis
I tance, to .be compressed again. Then
it must take still another trip to
the port. But under the Neely sys
tem, the wagon load of cotton- is
compressed at the ginnery itself. It
comes forth ready for shipment to^
the remotest point In the world.'
This, it is estimated, means a saving
of not less than $5 to the bale for
the cost of recompressing and re
handling is wiped out, while the cost
of rail freight, marine freight, bag- j
ging, tare and many other ItemB is
greatly reduced. I
I In addition to this the new ginnery j
compress vastly improves the pack
age in which cotton is shipped from
the south. For long years the Amer
ican cotton bale has been a sore vex
ation to the foreign market. At the'
International Cotton congress, held i
some years ago at Manchester, Eng
land, it was declared: "The Eng
lish, French and German vocabu
i laries have been ransacked in vain
j for words strong enough to de
jnounce the American bale.''
i The new ginnery compres3 satis
j flies this very need. The bale it turns
jOut is rectangular In form and meas
ures eighteen by thirty by fifty
inches. With a density i of thirty
pounds per cubic foot, it is so com
j pressed that the bala Is freed from
air .thus becoming well nigh imper
vious to fire and water and proof!
jazainst the wear of transportation.!
It can girdle the globe and still be
I in prime condition. Such a system j
means money saved for the farmer, j
the ginner, the carrier, the insurance
companies and for the spinner. It
is of local interest to note that this
mechanism is the Invention of a
southern man, Mr. Samuel M. Neely,
of Chester, S. C.
What the Farm Does.
In his annual report Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson- says "nothing
short of omniscience can grasp the
value /of the farm products pf this
year. At no time in the world's his
tory has a country produced farm
products within. ono year with a
value reaching $8,926,000,000, which
is the value of the agricultural pro>
ducts of this country for 1910. This
amount is larger than that of "1909
[by $305,000,000, an amount of in
I crease over the preceding year which
[is small for the more recent years.
I The value of farm products fvcrj
[lS99 to the present year has been
[progressive without interruption. If
the value of that census year be re
garded as 100, the value of the agri
cultural products of 1900 was 106.4;
that of 1901 was 112.7; that of 1902
I was-119.1; that of 1903 was 124.8;
[that of 1904 was 129.8; and that of
j 1905 was 133.
"The year 190G was an extraordi
nary one for*5 agriculture, both in
quantity and inj value of production.
[The value increased to 1*43.4, as
i compared with 100 representing
1899. In the next year, 1907, the
value of agricultural products rosa
to 158.7; In the next year, 1 908, to
167.3; in 1909 to 1S2.8: and in 1910
tc 189.2, or almost double the value
of the crops of the census year eleven
years preceding. During this period
of unexampled agricultural produc
tion, a period of twelve years dur
ing which the farmers of this coun
try have steadily advanced In pros
perity, in wealth and in economic
I indenendence. in intelligence and a j
knowledge of agriculture, the total
value of farm products is $79,000,
000.000."
Think of it. The farmers of this
country in the last eleven years have
added Beventy-nine billion dollars to
its wealth. Can you grasp these
figures? Remember that this im
mense sum of money values was
absolutely produced by the farmers
in the last eleven years. In other
words, in the last eleven years the
farmers of the United States have
created seventy-nine billion dollars
where not a cent existed before. Has
the United States any more valuable
asset than Its fanners? Ought not
the government to protect this val
uable asset, instead ?f holding up
the farmers who constitute it by the
tariff law to be plundered of two bii
; lion dollars each yenr by the trusts,
? .and other plundering schemes, such
as the protection of socalled infant
'industries and other pet Institutions?
t It 6eems so to us.
Tariff For Revenue.
No deflnlto plan of tariff revision
?was arrived at at the conference
in Washington Wednesday night be
tween tho Democratic members of
the ways and means committee, the
Democratic members of the Ken
tucky delegation, Georgo Harvey of
New York and Henry Watterson, ac
cording to a statement issued by Mr.
Watterson Wednesday night.
"Some brushwood was cot out of
the way and a clearing made in the
labyrinth of confusion and misun
derstanding which always guard the
approaches to the robber ca3tle of
protectionism." said Mr. Watterson.
Ho de^-nred that "the principal of
revenue opposed to the principle of
protection as the bedrock of what
ever plan the ways and means com
mittee of the house would adopt"
was the general idea of those pres
ent at the meeting-. He Eaii that
tentative committee on ways and
mems so:m would confer with the.
newly elected members of the house
a^d the work of collecting data,
which "can not .be obtained by the
government and mu3t be relegated
to experts employed for the pur
pose" would be begun at once.
Advance the Colora.
We take the following from the
last issue of The Commoner, owned
and edited by William J. Bryan:
Believing that democrats do not
desire to engage in a sham battle
The Commoner confidently lays
down these propositions:
The democratic party must be
progressive. 1
"No Wa!ll Street candidate can
hope to hold the democratic vote.
Democracy must go forward
and meet present day problems
boldly In the spirit of Jefferson
and Jackson.
The democratic victory of 1910
Is the result of fourteen years of
democratic fight fer reforms.
The party cannot retire now.
It must go forward.
We heartily agree with all Mr.
Bryan says above. It would be sui
cidal for the Democratic party to
adopt any other course in the next
canwjaljn. The people have turned
to the Democratic party for relief,
and if the party fails them now, it
deserves and will be disastrously de
feated. Advance the colors to the
firing line, and let every Democrat
rally to them, and victory is sure.
