Cannon Opens Campaign DANVILLE, Ill., Aug. 16 — The convention of the eighteenth Illinois congressional district was called to order at 1 o'clock and renominated Joseph G. Cannon for the eighteenth consecutive time, being the seventeenth nomination by acclamation. In addressing the convention Mr. Cannon said: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: I thank you for this expression of confidence and I congratulate you on the prosperous condition of the country under republican administration. The republican party has followed the teachings in the parable of the wise servant who returned to his master the talent entrusted to his care multiplied tenfold. Clothed with the responsibility for the administration of the government of 80,000,000 people, we have sought to make a return that will benefit those who entrusted the talent to our care. We have succeeded in making two blades of grass grow luxuriantly under republican administration where one grew feebly before under the democratic administration. "Since the election of William McKinley as president the business of the country has doubled and the material interests of all the people have become better than ever before in our history; aye, better than the condition of any people anywhere on earth in any time since history began. This is under the policies of the republican party as enacted into law by congress and executed by the president. Attribute this condition to what cause you may, speculate about it as you will, call it confidence in men or measures, the fact remains that it exists and that there never has been recorded anywhere such industrial development and such a wave of prosperity as has swept over the United States in the last decade."

Attribute this condition to what cause you may, speculate about it as you will, call it confidence in men or measures, the fact remains that it exists and that there never has been recorded anywhere such industrial development and such a wave of prosperity as has swept over the United States in the last decade. "Under the administration of the Dingley tariff law there has been a greater development in all forms of industry than has ever been reached under any other revenue law since the government was organized. The schedules of that law are not sacred, but the principle there embodied is fundamental. Since the enactment of the first revenue law under Washington down to the present time the periods of prosperity have been under protection, and the periods of adversity have been under the policy of free trade or tariff for revenue only. "We have no census figures as to business conditions in 1896, but we have them for 1890, 1900 and 1905, and to supplement these we have the official message of President Cleveland, complaining that unparalleled business distress and lack of confidence marked the great part of his administration. We also have the official statement of Samuel Gompers, president of the Amalgamated Federation of Labor, that more than 3,000,000 workingmen were without work in 1894 and 1895 and that work did not return to them until 1897. "According to census of 1890 there were $6,525,000,759 capital invested in manufacturing industries in the United States, whereas, according to the official figures, there were in 1905 $13,122,-607,000 so invested. The average number of wage earners in 1890, as given by the census, was 4,251,535 (and Mr. Gompers said 3,000,000 were without work in 1894 and 1895.) In 1905 the number was 5,492,178, not including those in the hand trades. "The total wages paid in 1890 amounted to $1,891,209,696, and in 1905 to $2,661,409,858. The value of the output of our manufactures in 1890 was $9,372,378,843, and in 1905, $14,873,818,-425, not including that from the hand trades. "Taking the testimony of President only. This has been the point of democratic party for many years it is its position today and that of all its leaders, including W. Bryan and John Sharp William leader of the minority in the Representatives, who time after time during the late session of proclaimed the policy of his be, if clothed with power, troy protection absolutely and swoop—over night, as he exerted—but to journey towards a revenue only. He would not patient outright at one step would gradually starve it to death. "Such policy means less labor, both skilled and unskilled every avenue of production; decrease of wages and slackness; the great mass of the would become less valuable to all other producers. Such would act and react upon all people who are customers for even and we would have the "night" 1893 to 1897 repeated. "Tariff revision in time of always has, and always will, necessity activity, production merce. The manufacturer will his output, for he fears to product unless there is a certainty of realizing its cost profit. The farmer halts improvements and consumer cause there is a shortened day his products. The decrease wages of labor alone pending would amount to many hundred dollars. Where there dependence and prosperity without ent, there would be doubt and tion of confidence. "I heartily indorse the lately adopted by the republican Indiana, which, in substance the republican party will tariff when it will do more harm to the great mass of the." "There has been much criticism much denunciation against 'government by injunction,' attacks have been made by judiciary of the United States during the late session of congress leaders differed as to the fact that was desired. Mr. Gompers fessing to speak for the Americanization of Labor, denounced called Fuller bill, pending b Mr. Gompers said 3,000,000 were without work in 1894 and 1895.) In 1905 the number was 5,492,178, not including those in the hand trades. "The total wages paid in 1890 amounted to $1,891,209,696, and in 1905 to $2,661,409,858. The value of the output of our manufactures in 1890 was $9,372,378,843, and in 1905, $14,873,818,-425, not including that from the hand trades. "Taking the testimony of President Cleveland and Samuel Gompers as to the deplorable condition in 1894, 1895 and 1896 it will be seen that the industrial development of the country, both as affecting labor and capital, has been at the rate of 100 per cent in the ten years. "There has been much discussion and no little confusion over the effort to compare the relative increase in wages and cost of living in the last few years. The labor bureau of the United States in its last bulletin on this question made a very careful analysis for the fourteen years from 1890 to 1904. In that comparison and analysis it was shown that the weekly earnings of all employees had increased 53.4 per cent from 1894 to 1904, and that the retail prices of food products had increased in the same time only 12 per cent. This, I believe, is the only careful and scientific investigation that has been made of the subject. "All legislation, and especially revenue legislation, is the result of compromise. It must inevitably be so in order to command, as, of course, is necessary, a majority vote in both house and senate. It is, therefore, impossible to secure perfection in each schedule of a tariff bill; but I have no hesitation in saying that the present revenue law, known as the Dingley law, all Considered, is the most perfect customs revenue law ever enacted; general distress and industries prevailing throughout society at the time of its enactment to make it so, because it will all the people together. In prosperity, when it is attempted to tariff legislation the selfish people is appealed to, but there is industrial depression interests are more inclined to favor for the general good. Langley bill was substantially legislation under the administration of William McKinley. It was a time when the revenues of government were short, when all land, on farm, in mine, and in there unable to realize reason upon their respective projections when consumption was at a point for the want of steady employment our people at fair wages. Operations that law has been evenly and justly over all in the United States than tariff law previously enacted for its workings, there came confidence, employment, profitation and universal prosperity has grown and increased to year up to the present under it the people worked out salvation. Not, and does not, please the vice party. That party denounces of protection as robbery arises for a tariff for revenue has been the position ofocratic party for many years: position today and the position leaders, including William J. John Sharp Williams, the minority in the House of Representatives, who time and again late session of congress and the policy of his party to used with power, not to desecration absolutely at one fell and for the purposes of this act no right to carry on business of any particular kind or at any particular place, or at all, shall be construed, held, considered or treated as property or as constituting a property right.' Mr. Spelling, speaking for Mr. Gompers and himself, claimed that such legislation ought to be enacted. It being near the end of the session, further consideration of the proposed legislation by the house judiciary committee was postponed until the next session of congress. "Speaking for myself, I am not in favor of this legislation demanded by Mr. Gompers. The power of the courts to issue writs of injunction to prevent irreparable injury to property or to a property right for which there is no adequate remedy at law, is older than the constitution, and is well established as any other principle of law or equity. The inalienable right of each citizen, be he weak or strong, is to come and go to and from his property without molestation, and to carry on business thereon, and, in the exercise of such right, he is entitled to call upon the government for protection through the courts. 'The amendment to the interstate commerce law, known as the Elkins law of 1902, and the rate legislation just enacted, coupled with many decisions by the supreme court of the United States, render it reasonably certain that practices which had grown up by large shippers of commodities demanding and receiving from common carriers exceptional rates for transportation not enjoyed by others is prohibited by law and penalized both as to the railway, or other common carrier, and the shipper. So that it is safe to say that each citizen of the United States will be treated the same as every other citizen. With equal privileges to all there is no reason to doubt that by enterprise industry and competition under This page contains a news article with multiple paragraphs discussing economic policies and their impacts on businesses and society. Where Babies Swim. "I spend my winters in Samoa," said a traveler. "It is always summer there. There the babies swim. Can you imagine a quainter, a more charming sight than a host of babies, none over two years old, laughing and crowing and swimming like fish in pools of clear sea water? You will see this sight in Samoa. Samoan women believe sea baths benefit babies, and in that equable climate they bathe their little ones daily the year around. The youngsters soon learn to swim. They can swim before they can walk. And to see these pretty brown babies swimming in the sea is well worth a 5,000 mile trip to Samoa."—Philadelphia Bulletin. Extravagant Shoes. During the reigns of William Rufus, Henry I. and Stephen all sorts of extravagant shoes were worn. The toes were sometimes long and pointed and sometimes made to curl like a ram's horn. Occasionally they were twisted in different directions, as though the feet were deformed. The clergy protested and threatened, but the fashion continued in spite of the maledictions. Several persons were excommunicated for wearing pointed shoes, but they took the risk. Notice to Creditors In the Superior Court, county of Orange, State of California. Estate of Edson C.
