The facts and figures above present
ed deal With the actual cost in money
to the American farmer of the high
tariff system on which the Republican
party says it stands pat and which
is to be continued in all its oppressive
ness, eXtortiOn and injustice if Roose-
welt should be elected.
The Republican Congress has author
lied 4 standing army Of 100000 men-
four times as great as any previous
standing army of the United States in
time Of peace. This means militarism,
q military arlstocracy to cooperate
with the trust ariSt0cracy in trampling
on the ordinary citizen. 1t means the
military system of Germany and Rus
STA for the United States. 1t means 4
weapon that might prove very danger
Gus in the hands of q man of ROOse-
velt's QuarrelS0mc character.
Imperialism goes with militarism.
The policy of attending to our own
business has been given up by the Re
publican Administration for that Of
meddin% in the worlds business, OF
holding subject nations as colonies and
OF discriminating them. as multitUdes
of FiliDinoS have been eXterminated,

At any moment the policy OF imperial

The CHIEF ISSUE.

prices for goods from American farm
ers.
The American farmer should remem
Der that when President Roosevelt was
Governor of New York he diSapprOved
4 bill passed by the Legislature taxing
franchises, and intended to reduce the
burden of State tax on farmers and
other individual taxpayers by making
corporations pay their just share. The
corporation lawyers pleaded with
Roosevelt that the bill was unconstitu-
tiOnal, and ne was very ready to accept
their statement The Court of APP

mistake" however, cost large
amount of money. which was saved to
the corporations, and had to be paid by
the farmers and others. 1t made
Roosevelt solid. however, with the
trusts. which run the Republican party,
and doubtless had q good deal to do
with his nominal ton for NicePresident.
Every farmer has at time cattle to
dispose Of. 1t has been clearly estab
lished that the Republican tariff tax on
hides. which was levied solely for the
benefit Of the great meat packers in
Chicago and other centres, does not
put one dollar in the pocket of the
farmer or cattle raiser. who does not
get cent more for the animal on ac-
count of the hide. while it enables the
great trust meat packers to charge
higher prices for hides than they would
be able to charge if hides were coming
in free from South America, Mexico
and elsewhere. 1t is not necessary to
take Democratic authority for these
facts. Ask any dealer in leather. The
Republican tariff tax on hides puts
millions of dollars into the pockets Of
the meat trust, while it adds to the
cost of every pair of shoes and every
inch Of leather that is used in the Uni
ted States-and farmers have use for q
good deal Of leather besides what they
wear as shoes.
