The farmers ought to know when they
cast their votes for the Republican High
Tariff, that they are voting to enable men
to make machinery in this country to sell
abroad cheap, ard at home at a high price.
And this is what High Tariff has been
doing for whole generation.

WHAT 4 HIGH TARIFF DOES
FOR THE HOME CONSUMER,
AND WHAY ARROAD.

1t is well known that many agricultural
machines used by our farmers are export
ed, and sold in Europe at less price than the
American farmer has to pay for them here.
The American farmers are taxing them
selves under a high tariff to enable the
American manufacturer to sell machines
to foreign countries at less than they are
sold for here. It is a fact that American
made machines are sold in Mexico, where
they are in free competition with European
made machinery, at less than they are sold
in the United States. And yet these pro-
tected manufacturers say they must have
a High Tariff to keep competition OF

Mr.. Walter Neg7ey, Hagerstoaon, Md.
DEAR SIR Yours of the I'd at hand. In re-
ply take pleasure in giving you the figures
asked for as nearly as possible. First, in re-
gard to shovels. Our shovels bought for our
Eagle Pass store cost us about Sc per dozen,
exclusive of freight. Our shovels Ct the same
class and material cost us laid doao7a in Psea1as
Negras 1921 per dozen. Another item !:
Agate ironware cannot be bought for delivery
anywhere in the United States at better than
So per cent. discount In Piedras Negras We
can buy the same articles from the same
houses at 60 per cent. discount. The list is
the same in both cases. These are not the only
articles. Disstons saws can be bought with
an additional 20 per cent. discount, showing
that the manufacturers could sell in home
markets in competition with the outside pro-
ducer. These figures only partial list.
Every article known to the hardware trade can
be bought from American manufacturers for
export cheaper than they can for home con-
sumption. Hoping this will answer your pur-
pose, we remain,
Very truly yours,

Governor Hill in Indiana.

Governor Hill, on his way to the west,
is meeting with enthusiastic receptions
and making effective addresses. The
vigorous character Of his partisan argu-
mcnts, the representative position as chief
magistrate and rcnominee which he &C.
cupies, and the attention which has been
concentrated on him both by defense and
attacks unite to render him one of the
most conspicuous and aggressive objects
of the pending canvass. His appearance
In Indiana and in Illinois as ON orator for
tho party is a tactical and gallant act, and
the reflex influence of it on the cause in
New York will be as great as the direct
effect of speeches at home by him would
DO. The intelligence from the interior is
that both Governor Hill and Warner
Miller address meetings Of unusual size
and extraordinary enthusiasm. The
countrymen will vote en- massc this year
Tho governor stands the wear and
tear better than Mr.. Miller, who
has almost succumbcd to q neuralgia

VOTE JuDiCtOuSlY.

When argument fails, when per.
suasion proves useless and defeat is
inevitable as the result OF standing
upon the merits Of its ticket the bat
lie cry Of "vote the straight ticket
is sounded along the republican line.
This. relying, Of course upon the
republican majorities in the past.
But it is doubtful if even this cry
would save them this year. By the
observance of the command thus sent
out it Is probable that every demo.
cratic candidate for county office will
be elected; for the vote on president
and governor indicates the party vote
and Stevens may give Cleveland and
Wilson a nice majority this year.
The people are studying the politi
cal issues Of this campaign from an
interested standpoint, and they will
cast their ballots for their own inter.
ests, regardless of party affiliation in
the past and with an independence
that has no parallel in the history OF
this state. Therefore We say that
this silly cry started by our republi.
can friends of this county may act
upon their local interests in way
that is not intended.
While democrats believe that this
is so. they would not insult the intel.
ligence of the people of this county
by any such unworthy proposition as
this. What the democratic organiza.
tion of this county does say is this:
SO far as election of county officers
is concerned the result cannot have
any effect whatever upon the ISSUES
involved in the national and state
elections. The important question in
abe county election and the only one
proper to be considered is the honesty
and integrity Of those who seek our
votes and their ability to perform
well the duties of the Offices for which
they ask the peoples suffrage.
Therefore the democratic party does
not say to you. the people of this
county. ''vote the straight ticket -
even if it be the democratic. but con.
slider well and carefully the merits of
its several candidates claims for your
support. Look at them from an un-
prejudiced standpoint and with that
spirit of impartiality so necessary for
the selection of the ones best qualified
to act as your servants in the conduct
OF their affairs. and Nov. 6 cast your
ballots according to the conclusions
reached.
A verdict thus rendered by the in
telligent people Of Stevens county
should BIZ satisfactory to all.

bought the goods. Mr.. Breckin.

AS the statement shows, of $l0l.50,
the amount of the purchases, the
tariff represented $3.50. In other
words, Mr.. Branch paid $l01.50 for
goods that, but for our high protec-
tive tariff, would have cost him
$67.7O. This was his enforced con-
tribution to the system which. the
republican national platform demand
shall be still further Strengthened by
carrying the duty to a point that will

of $33 80 paid on e7.e0 worth of goods
amounts to 40 40-l00 per cent on the
actual value of the goods.
Examination of the bill. to which
Mr.. Breckenridge added the tariff ON
each Item as found in the law, will
show Mr.. Branch's purchases to have
been of the ordinary character needed
for farm and family. They represent
the kind Of purchases the farmers of
Arkansas usually make; and the
"object lesson" the totals furnish
will prove more convincing to per.
sons not having time to study this
question for themselves than vol
umes of argument. There is the
article. There is the price paid the
merchant. And there is the subsidy
forced from the farmer or other con-
sumner, for the benefit of the pro.
tected manufacturers, who by such
special legislationare rapidly trans
formed into millionaires, while our
farmers though they toll early and
late, find it difficult to keep from

tiibution the farmer receives
