INCREASE OF EMPLOYMENT AND
WAGES.

II was expected that the democratic
campaign textbook would attempt. to
substantiate the claim that the cost of
living during the past few years has in
creased at a greater ratio than incomes
and wages. Even if the cost of living
has increased say 25 per cent. and If
wages had increased only "a per cent
(which is not by any means truel, there
would be no argument whatever in favor
of return to the days of Grover Cleye-
land and the Wilson German law. Dur
ing that period Samuel Gompers says
there were idle in this country fully
three millions OF men, most Of whom
have employment today. Will democrat
ic managers kindly tell us the percentage
in increased wages received by those
three millions Of mens During the same
period there were three million more
workers in the United States employed
only part of the time. Those three mil
lions are today almost without eNcep-
ton employed at fuil time. WIZ the
democratic managers deny that their
wages have not been doubled during the
past few years under the operation OF
the Dingley tariff and that If their cost
of living has been increased from 20 to
80 per cent. they are not even then very
much the gainersi In addition to this
full measure of employment, in addition
TO this added employment are the in
creased wages over ls94-ls95 and 1896
which has permitted these wage earners
TO almost double their savings; which
has permitted the farmers to cancel
their mortgages, and which has permit
ted the highest scale Of living and exist
ence ever known before in this o rany
other country.

Tn November the voters Of Kentucky
should not forget to vote against the
constitutional amendment TO return to
the viva voce system of voting. There
are objections to be found to all methods
of voting, but probably more to the OBJ
solete form of going up and saying for
whom you wish to vote, than any other.
No state in the union uses the viva voce
system, that we are aware of, and Ken
lucky cannot afford to have il said that
she took up again a system that all the
other states have discarded. and which

CHEAPER GOODS AND FREE TRADE

The advantages of cheaper goods I'M
der free trade cannot be measured by
money. The question we are called on
to consider is; Can we obtain the for
eign goods as easily when the wages
of our people have been reduced and
employment made uncertain as we
can American goods when wages are
high and the people well employed The
experience Of forty years under pro-
tectiye tariff must be conclusive evil
dence to the few who have distinct
remembrance Of the condition OF the
country previous TO 1861 that the work
ing people have Jared better since that
period than before For more than 20
years previous to 1861 the country had
had but -four years under a protective
tariff. That was under the elder Har-
lison administration, and was enacted
in 1912, only two years before James
X. Polk was elected president. II there
was much hope by the friends oflprotee-

Lieutenant Governor Thorne may be
right from humanitarian standpoint
in his defense for the Buchter pardon,
but ii his theory were carried out every
prison in the country would be emptied
of its inmates. Every man owes some
thing to humanity, and kindheartedness
is something of which no man need be
ashamed The occupant of the COVER
nor's chairs first duty, however, is to
the people as whole, and not to indi.
viduals, and where society demands the
Incarceration of such menaces as men of
Buehter's type, the chief executive ought
to be the last person to turn them loose
again on society.

possession of the property and the
money consideration will have been
paid to both the republic of Panama
and to the new Panama Canal oom-
pany. Attorney General Knox had
conference today with the president at
which the whole subject, so far as the
legal phases of it are concerned was
considered and decided. At the con-
clusion of the conference, the attorney
general authorized the following state
ruent:
Il have advised the president that
he is authorized to pay at once to the
republic of Panama the 500 900 stip-
ulated for by the treaty. the ratifca-
tions of which have just been exchang-
ed. Also that he is authorized to pay
to the new Panama Canal company the
SAC, 600, 900, which under the agreement
between the United States and that
company we are to pay for it's property
and have notified the canal company
we are ready to close the transaction
