deners fare as against the competi-
ton of cheaper Canadian produce
sent over the line free of duty? How
would the border state farmers fare
who depend upon the home market
for their. hay. oats, barley, poultry,
eggs, etc?
The Democratic party would be lib
eral toward the Canadians who want
to sell their lumber, their coal, their
iron ores and their fish in the Amer
lean market. But how about the lum-
Der workers of Maine, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Washington?
How about the coal miners of North
Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and
Washington? How about the thou
sands of New England families who
are supported by the fishing indus
try? Every one of the interests
named would suffer sorely from the
unrestricted competition of cheaper
labor and lower market values In
Canada.
1t is known that the liberal policy
of the Democratic party with refer
ence to foreigners, as carried out in
the Democratic tariff law of 1894.
cost the farmers of the United States
five billion dollars in four years.
Foreigners have reason to admire
Democratic liberality. There is not
a foreign producing country in the
world to-day that would not rejoice
over Democratic victory in the
election OF 1904. Every one of them
knows that such victory would
mean lower tariffs and the privilege
OF taking possession of the greatest
Of the worlds markets. Americans,
however, have no such cause to well
some the advent of Democratic liber-
Atty. The Democratic party never
yet passed a tariff law that was lib
.ral TO American producers, and it
aever will.

A Maine Goes.

The Republicans of Maine, who are
right on the border and know Just
what is involved in the proposition to
enter upon free trade with Canada in
natural products only, adopted the
following resolution at their state
convention In Bangor few days ago:
The Republican party stands for
the reciprocity of Blaine and Arthur
and Harrison and Mckinley and Ding.
Icy, which covers the interchange
with foreign countries of articles
which we do not produce, and our
own products needed in such coun.
tries. It opposes such reciprocity
with Canada as viii flood our market
with Canadian lumber, fish, hay, po-
tatoes and other farm products. as it
would seriously embarrass many of
Names important industries and es.
pecially that OF agriculture. Under
present arrangements our trade with
Canada Ia constantly increasing, with
the balance largely in our favor. We
believe In letting we'll enough alone"
"As Maine goes, so goes the
Union," used to be said regarding ma.
uonal elections. The saying is true
to-day regarding reciprocity In com.
petitive products.

Kidney Pills. He says Of the result:
After suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numer-
Gus medicines for Rheumatism and
more medicines prescribed by doc
tors, at last tried Dodd's Kidney
Pills with the result that I got more
bentfit from them than all the others
put together.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only

Sound Economy,

The very fact that our manufac-
turers can invade the foreign market
is proof Of the success of protection
in firmly establishing the iron and
steel industry. 1t has reached the po-
sition in which it can use foreign
trade as a sacrifice market in which
to dispose of surplus production. OF
course. that means bargain price.
but II does not follow that the home
consumer is really disadvantaged. If
production is not steadily maintained.
prices would fiuctuate severely, and
the chances are that domestic buyers
would have to pay more than they
do even If paying more than is
charged upon occasional Lots sold
abroad. In the GsVman Reichstag
