INDUSTRY DECLINING.

Our imports have declined for July
to $T1,123.520 against $50, 1S7, S2S In
1908. The total value OF exports for
July was SS4.SS3,4 31, against $91, Sl3,-
30 for July. 1908. For the same pc
riod the expenditures of the govern
ment. exceeded the receipts by over
ST., 100000, which would indicate a
deficiency of over ST5.OO0.OOO for the
fiscal year IL the Democrats had
elected a majority in Congress two
years ago. these ominOus figures would
be pointed TO by the Republicans as
the result of such victory, but now
we know-for Shaw has told us-pro-
lection is panic-proof and prosperity"
and high prices are still with us. We
will have to issue bonds and ipcrease
taxation I'm some way under this de-
vastatirig policy of the Republicans.
which Is evidently destroying our for
eign trade and reducing our ability to
buy foreign goods. But the Trusts
are constantly getting a firmer grip
OF the situation, and will furnish us all
we ought TO have at the high prices
the tariff allows them TO charge. But.
as Secretary Shaw says, high prices
is an accompaniment of prosperity and
to keep it we must vote the Republican
ticket, pay and look pleased.

THE SUN SHIFTS DEFEAT.

Odelrs machine-made State ticket as
doomed to ignominious defeat. Read
the following cheerful message to the
New York Sun from its staff corre-
spondent at Saratoga. sent the day af-
ter the adjournment OF OdelI's conven-
ton:
The general impression of the few
Republicans here is that the real fight
is to come and will be how TO save the
national ticket and at the same time
save the party in the State. Since the
convention adjourned there has not
been the slightest attempt to conceal
the fact that every Republican here,
except the members of the Tapeworm
Club. regards the State ticket as
doomed"
II the Republican State ticket Is sure
to be dcfeated-as we are absolutely
confident IL will be - our friends

THE POWER OF WOMAN.

While in the East women figure little.
IL at all, in political matters, yet in the
West they are becoming a factor more
and more TO be considered each cam
paign. In the States OF Colorado,
Wyoming. Utah and Idaho, where the
elective franchise has been extended to
those of the gentler sex, there are over
100000 registered women voters, and
I'm these four States, which are nj
least considered debatable ground by
both of the great parties, considerable
effort is being directed toward securing
that vote.
In Colorado the labor troubles will.
Ii Is thought. exercise n considera BILE
influence upon the female vote. and in
the other three States the Mormon
question will undoubtedly prove an Is
sue. The sympathies of the women In
all four States are reported as being
with Judge Parker. and through their
assistance political prognosticators pre-
diet Democratic victories in the four
States. and the addition thereby OF
fourteen electoral votes to the number
which viii be recorded for the Demo
cratic nominees.

CLAY AND ROOSEVELT.
Mill Boy of the sIashes and the

Though Theodore Roosevelt was vet
unborn and the Republican party had
never been heard of in the land. Henry
Clay seemed veritable prophet, and
seemed to foresee our acquisition of
the Philippines and the Republican
policy to maintain a sort OF monarch
ial government over the islands Mr..
Clay in defending the rights OF the
people of South America to self-gov-
eminent, said: 1T is the doctrone of
thrones that man is too ignorant to
govern himself. Their partisans assert
his incapacity in reference TO all ma
tions; IL they cannot command uni
versal assent to the proposition, it is
then remanded to particular nations;
and our pride and our presumption
too often make converts or us. l con.
tend that it is TO arraign the disposition
of Providence himself. to suppose that
he has created beings incapable OF
governing themselves, and to- be
trampled on by kings. Self-govern-
ment Is the natural government of
men,"
In the nature of direct evidence
which is at Mr.. Rooseyelt's disposal.
Admiral Dewey, in an official report
to the Navy Department. declared the
Fillpinos more capable of self-govern-
ment than the Cubans. and said that
he based his opinion upon u knowledge

Then he proceeds TO an effort to yindi-

Why shnnld bin have been pending

Republican Chairman of the Commit
tee on Invalid Pensions of the House.
IL an Executive order could have ac-
complished what the bill was intended

that no such Executive order would

this is election year.

years, ''ought to be crystalized into law

DISFRANHlsED WHITES.
Corrupt Republican Rule Has Cur
tailed Suffrage I'm Rhode Island.

Republican organs that are fond of
harping on Acknowledgement of Hitter
ate blacks in the South overlook Re-
publican Acknowledgement of white
voters in Rhode Island.
Where is there another State whose
citizens. although eligible to vote for
state officers, are prohibited from yot-
ing for local officers? One of the re-
forms sought by the Democratic Gov
ernor OF Rhode Island Is an amend
ment TO the Constitution of the State
giving equal rights to all voters. Such
q reform would be regarded as reason
able in any State but Rhode Island.
And where is there another State
whose lawmakers would object to a
law TO punish bride giyers? To the
corrupt ring of politicians who rule
Rhode Island with an iron hand both
OF these reforms are undesirable. But
the time Is not far distant when the
Rhode Island ring will be driven from
power. Then, and not until then, will
that State have n Republican form Of
government, and one worthy to be COM
pared with the least liberal Of State
Governments in the South.

REPUBLICAN ANNEX.
Attempt In New Jersey to Work I'm
Watson Boom.

A farcical attempt by handful of
alleged Democrats to organize Tom
Watson movement in New Jersey was
reported ut great length i'm a recent is
sue OF the New York Tribune. and as a
result the reporter or his immediate
superior has doubtless lost his Job.
Describing in detail the difficulty of
the gathering in finding men willing 10
serve on its committee on platform the
Tribune says: Mayor Nichols. OF Clay
ton, having declined, Joseph Il. Clever.
Of Somerset. was appointed in his
place. The appointment caused laugh
ter, for ii was known that only a month
ago Clever addressed political gather
ing in Somerset County ut which he
stated that he was n Republican. He
has been in the service of the Repub-
lican Campaign Committee"
Mr.. Clever was not the only Republi-
can who participated in these proceed
ings. Fully one-half of the delegates
saw through the scheme. discovered
that the convention" was a Republi-
can side show and refused to have any
thing to do with it. Democrats every
where, and particularly in the pivotal
States. should take hint from the
Tribune's inadvertent exposure. The
Republican managers will make every
effort TO get Democratic votes for Wat
son. knowing that n vote for him is
half vote for Roosevelt. Republican
side shows, such as the one in New
Jersey. may be looked for in other
States. but judging from present indi-
cations the money invested i'm them by
the Republican managers will be worse
than wasted.

SHORT TARIFF LESSON.
Case In Point OF President Roose.
velt's Recent Oyster Bay speech.

President Roosevelt, In his address
delivered at Oyster Bay on the 26th OF
August. declared that the underlying
principle upon which the present tar
in Is based. to which tariff he believed
the country was irreyocabiy COM
mltted. lis ample recognition of the
difference in labor cost here and
abroad"
Mr.. Charles Zunz. well known i'm
porter OF glass Ut No. ~ Whitehall
street. New York City. points out a
notable instance wherein this recogni-
ton is considerably more than
ample" Says Mr.. Zunz: The pres
ent ruling duties on polished plate
glass are: For sizes over five to ten
feet. 22l2 cents per square foot: for
sizes over ten feet. 81 cents per square
foot
lon the 18th OF August the European
manufacturers of plate glass formed a
syndicate which advanced the price
more than ten per cent. At these adj
yanced prices plate glass II sold {. o. u.
Antwerp as follows: For stock sheets
over five to ten feet at II cents per
square foot: for stock sheets over ten
feet at III. cents per square foot On
the former price the American duty
amounts TO lG0 per cent. and on the
latter price TO 200 per cent"
The foregoing is but one of many
Illustrations which might he cited
showing how the present high tariff
works in favor of few. and TO the
detriment OF vast majority Of our
citizens. Labor enters for proper
tiOnately little into the cost OF polished
plate glass. and yet the imported ar
ticle Is subjected to the duty OF 160
and 200 per cent. enabling home manu-
facturers TO add largely to the price
of the domestic article. and compel
ling the consumer to pay an excessively
high price for the imported article IL
he. for any reason, prefers to have ii.

In and general tariff policy Of the Re
publican party. Is not based Ga "ample
recognition OF the difference in labor
cost here and abroad" as Mr.. Roose-
welt. the former free trader. would
have us believe. but upon recognition
of an assumed right of the Government
TO tax the many for the benefit of the
few. Very little OF the extra money
filched from the people because Of the
duty on polished plate glass finds its
way into the pockets OF the working
men.

WHERE BOURKe COCHRAN SPOKE

Republican organs which waxed IA
ceiious over the returns from couple
Of towns In Vermont In which Bourke
Cochran made Democratic speeches
have overlooked the fact that Mr.. Cock
ran also spoke In Lewiston, Portland
and Bangor. the three largest cities in
Maine. Lewiston gave 800 Democratic
ma jority, gain of 1906 over the re-
suit In 1900. Portland returned a Re
publican majority of 1880, as against
2G09 in 1900. Bangor went Republi-
can by less than 400, Democratic
gain of about COO. Thus the aggre-
gate Democratic gain In these three
cities is approximately 300. Mr..
Cochran is a very effective speaker
wherever the people are open to con-
yictiOn
