Senator Gore ( Dem. Okla. ) who
led the fight which caused the fi
nance committee to report tht-
wool and farmers' free list bills ,
says : " "I think it is generally \ n-
derstood now that the reciprocity
hill will be passed without any
amendments. But the question
whether the president will veto a
bill or not should have no bearing
on the action of the senate. We
do not need any report from the
tariff board or any one else to
show that the wool tariff needs
revision downward. The presi
dent himself has said that 'scedule
K' is indefensible.
"I have in my possession , wool
en goods which I bonsrht in Can
ada for just one-half the price
charged in this country. The
president , in reference to his reci
procity agreement , has repeatedly
said that the price of labor and the
cost of production in Canada is
the same as in the United States.
We know that to be a fact. Then
a high tariff is the only explana
tion of this difference in prices.
"If we pass the wool bill this
summer , it will reduce the cost or
clothing to all the people of tin1
United States next fall and win
ter.
ter."If
"If we wait for a report from
the tariff board , another winter
will have passed with the same ex
tortionate and inexcusable pricftc
being assessed against the people. "

Not Selling Out
We desire to announce that we are not clos
ing out , but are still selling the very best goods

Buggies , Moline and Davenport Holler Bearing
Wagons and Samson Windmills is complete
and priced right.
We also have a large stock of lumber , lime ,
Wall Plaster , Cement , Brick , Sash , Doors , etc.

handle the same line of goods for years to come.
We never advertise so-called bargains
because we have always had our goods priced
right.
