The second act passed at the first ses-
sion of the first congress- under the Con-
sututlon, approved July 4, 1883, contained
this preamble:
Section 1. Whereas. 1t is necessary for
the support of government, for the dis
charge of the debts of the United States,
and the encouragement and protection of
manufactures, that duties be laid on
Be it enacted. ETC., That the

Words of the Fathers.
George Washington, in his eighth and
last annual message, delivered Deem
Der Z, 1885, declared:
Congress have repeatedly, and not
without success, directed their attention
to the encouragement of manufa ctures.
The object is of too much consequence
not to insure a continuance of their eff
forts in every way which shall appear
material, etc."
Thomas Jefferson, in his sixth annual
message, of Dec. 2, 1906, in discussing
the disposal to be made of an expected
surplus in the treasury, asked this peril
nent question:
.'Shall we suppress the impost and give
that advantage to foreign over domestic
manufacturers"
jefferson, then and ever since the idol
of the Democratic party, could see that
the tariff was protection to the Ameri-
can manufacturer, which it was not wise
to abandon.
James Madison, one of the chief factors
in our constitutional convention, in his
seventh annual message of December 5,
1915, makes this comprehensive and far
reaching statement:
I'm adjusting the duties on imports to
the object Of revenue the influence of the
tariff on manufactures will necessarily
present Itself for consideration. How

mated at St. Louis: 1--WE denounce pro-

gratified with your experience under the
Wilson Democratic tariff law, and pine
for a renewal of the same, will of course
vote the Democratic ticket, but those or

of that law, and who have enjoyed the
blessings of the industrial revival result
and who desire continuance of the
same, will not for moment hesitate to
vote the Republican ticket.
Trusts and Combinations I'm Re-

1t would have been discreet and in good
taste for the Democracy if they had pre-
served the same silence on the subject of
trusts and combinations in restraint of
trade that they preserved in reference
to the financial policy of the Republican
party-for neither their record, nor their

On the hrst day of July, 1897, our per
capita circulation was 500 49, on the first
day of september, 1904, it was $31 16, an
increase of $S67 per capita in seven years
And this increase has occurred while
adhering to the gold standard, and with
out the free coinage of silver In all our
history we have never before had such an
abundance of money in proportion to our
population, nor such an abundance of
gold, in and outside of the treasury
What grand and wonderful financial
record TINS is. 1t is not surprising, though
somewhat unusual, that the Democracy
can not in their last platform find any
thing to criticise in this record Such has
not always been the case with them
They have been blind in the past. We
have finally succeeded after the lapse
OF all these years, in opening their eyes
to the merits of the financial policy of
the Republican party. The silence of the
democracy at st. Louis was the silence
OF Democratic mourners over the grave of
free silver Their candidate awoke them
many of them by telling them at the Iast
moment that he at all events was not
unfriendly to the gold standard.
Industrial Growth and Development.
The record of the Republican party in
the promotion and development of our
industrial growth and progress has been
no less marked and no less beneficial
than it's financial policy. Our industrial
prosperity has been one of the great pill
lars OF our financial success. The great
balance of trade in our favor under Re-
publican rule has turned the tide of gold
from the Old World to our shores in such
abundance that it has been easy to main
tain the gold standard, and to keep all
our currency on parity with gold.
AT the outset our country was a nation
of farmers and producers of raw material,
with our principal markets in the Old
World. We looked to Europe for manu-
features and finished products. 1his con-
dition before long became intolerable. 1t
soon became apparent to our early gen.

such an extent that We have become the
greatest manufacturing nation on the
face of the earth. The census of 1900
gives us these figures of our growth:
hundred and seventy-six manufacturing
establishments, with an invested capital
of $9,S31, $4,000. employing 1914, 539
the value of S13, ole. 036,5 14, and of this
only $433, 851. 756. or 3.3 per cent, was ex-
ported.
This census also shows that nearly half
much capital, and more than half as
much labor was employed in manufac-
turing industries as in agricultural pur-
suits. The annals of the world cannot in
all time furnish more rean ts nd
there is no cessation in the progress.
Old ventures are constantly enlarged, and
new ventures are continually entered
upon. 1t is not only in volume and value
that our manufacturers excel, but also in
the quality of their products. The old
world needs, and therefore is glad to re-
ceive, our surplus of meat and bread
but they are not so eager-in fact, they
are averse-to receive the products of
our shops and factories, and yet in spite
of all drawbacks and obstacles, we know
how American edgetoolS and American
agricultural implements, and many other
American fabrics are sought for and find
a market in all the countries of the old
world because of their superior quality
and make. 1t is conceded and cannot be
gainsaid that our tariff policy not only
leads to greater industrial expansion, out
also secures to American labor, skilled
and unskilled, much higher wages than
can be procured anywhere abroad. The
American workingman is the envy of his
foreign brother, both as to wages and the
comforts of life

portion of our home market. IN 1900 our
farm products exceeded $4,000 10000 in
value of which only $685., 1853, 123, or 1871
per cent. was exported, the balance being
consumed in this country. This shows
the volume and value of our home mar
ket 1t thus appears that our protective
tariff policy diversifies and expands our
industrial life, that it secures to the
laborer better wages, and to the farmer a
nearer better, and larger market than ne
would otherwise have.
The benefits of protection are not con-
fined to one class, the manufacturers,
but percolate through, and inure, directly
or indirectly, to every industry and CALL
ing in the country. 1t Is the aim and
purpose of our tariff policy to put our own
manufacturers on a par as to cost OF pro-
duction with the foreign manufactures,
and hence We regard as the just measure
Of protection the difference in the cost OF
production at home and abroad. A tariff

But what has been the attitude of the

Protective Tariff Policy.
The policy of diversifying our Industrial
life, by developing and promoting manu-
features, thereby charging the field of
production and labor thus adopted and
initiated by the fathers of the republic
and the fathers of the Democratic party,
has long ago been abandoned by that
party, but has been faithfully pursued
and followed by the Republican party.

by the Republican party has developed

The funeral of Ben F.. Mckenzie.
VINO committed suicide at Swan Lake
Sunday afternoon, was held Montiay
afternoon at o'clock from the fata-
lily residence at Swan Lake. The
luherai services were conducted by
Rev Drake of the Methodist church.
ana was attended by hundreds of the
friends OF the deceased man. H. |.
Holderness, who prepared the body
Tor burial, says that the scene around
the grave was touching, for there
was no more popular man in Jeffer-
son county than Ben Mckenzie. Be
side his wife Mr. Mckenzie leaves
one sister, Mrs. Edna Clements, Wife
OF l.. w. Clements of Swan Lake. Mr..
Holderness says gloom was cast
over the entire community by the
young mans rash deed.
Mr.. Mckenzie had just returned
from hauling freight from the landing
to the store and had walked inside
with Mr.. Drake, a companion. He
told Mr.. Drake to call some of the
boys and they would have some re,
freshments in the bedroom in the
store Just as Mr.. Drake reached the
door. he heard the shot, and turning
saw Mr. Mckenzie fall across the bed.
The bullet went directly through
the heart After firing the shot. Mr..
Mckenzie laid the revolver on the
1resser before he fell across the bed.
1t is generally thought that bust
less reyerses was the cause of the
ash deed.
