PRIMARY ISSUE.
Governmental Extravaganza to Which
Judge Parker Called Attention.

The deficit in the receipts of the
United States Treasury grows apace,
and Secretary Shaw will have TO call
upon the National banks for another
instalment. Of the fund they have eli
joyed 80 long without paying the Gov
eminent any interest thereon. Re-
publican extNvagance is the principal
cause of the large deficit, which has
reached the extraordinary amount of
S24 100000 for July and August
During these two months the re-
ceipts from customs and internal rev.
enue taxes have fallen off $1,000. 900.
and the expenditures have increased
$16,OO0,000, mostly for the army and
navy. The falling off in receipts shows
a great depression in business and is
entirely at variance with the public
statements of Secretaries Shaw and
Wilson that prosperity is rampant and
that 1.-The people are more prosperous
than ever before" When the people
are prosperous they spend money freely
and the receipts from customs and in
ternal revenue taxes grow correspond
ingly. Now they are obliged to econo-
mize, which is sensible course, but
does not produce what Secretaries
fNudN anu W HSoA tdll prosperity.
How can ordinary people be prosperous
when all they have to buy is advanced
greatly in price and the value of the
work they do is standing still or de-
clining in value? Those with fixed
incomes are badly enough off, but
those whose incomes or wages are
falling are caught between the upper
and the neither millstones. Under these
circumstances economy is imperative to
such people, aud of course their taxpay-
ing powers to the Federal Government
have decreased accordingly. The ex-
travagant expenditures voted by the
Republican Congress, and urged by
the Republican administration, is a
wicked crime against those who pay
the bulk of the Federal taxes. No re-
lief can be expected from the present
Republican leaders that form the adj
ministration and control Congress;
they have declared ans are declaring
on the stump that there is no need for
reform and that their policy is to let
well enough alone. Nothing but a
change of administration will lead to
National economy to match the en-
forced economy of the taxpayers. The
issue is Roosevelt and extravaganza or
Parker and reform.

THE "INFANT INDUSTRY

THE argument predicts for the new
~ established industry a great future
development and time of ultimate
independence. Protection undertakes
to nurse it through its period of help
lessness and dependence into a time
when il can stand on its OWL feet and
maintain itself against rivals. If that
period cOmes-and the history of the
United States shows that in MANY
cases ii has come-you cal throw off
the entire duty, + you will, and unless
the price of the article has been arti-
ficially sustained by something besides
the duty. our manufacturers viii not
lose possession of the market."-Prof.
John &. Clark. of Columbia Universe
ty, in the Political Science Quarterly
for September, 1904.

THE LUMBER TRUST, TOO.

The protective tariff tax on lumber
is a direct robbery of the farmers of
the Central West, and weighs heavily
on all building improvements every
where. The lumber trust that contro :
the pine forests of the Northwestel :,
States and much of the South.l i.
States is thus enabled to charge az
least 81 a thousand feet more than it
otherwise would be sold for. The lum-
Der trust barons have waxed so rich
that they control the Republican party
in some of the States; they send their
members to the Senate and log-roll to
control the Congress of the United
States in their interest. Farmers who
vote the Republican ticket aid in keep
ing the lumber trust in power and to
continue to rob themselves on every
foot of lumber they buy.

WHAT WILL BE
The ANSWER?
Roosevelt's Letter a Bid of Gigantic
Brides.

In effect, Mr.. Roosevelt's letter is an
offer of gigantic brides. Elect Inc Pres
ident, he says to the beneficiaries of
the tariff, and you will be uHdisturbed
III your purchased right to tax your
fellow-citizens; elect me, he says TO the
pension grabbers, and you may iii all
your pockets at the Treasury; elect me,
he says 10 the subsidy hunters, and
the Government will pay you hand
soInely to sail your ships; eject me, he
says to the politicians, and yon may
fatten on the graft of rural delivery;
elect me, he says to the army, and
your numbers, your privileges, your
pay, and your opportunities 10 glut
your warlike passions shall be in
creased elect me, he says to the navy,
and your smoke shall blacken the air
on every coast and your guns be heard
in every sea.
What is to be the country's answer
to these bids for power in order to
carry out grandose but dangerous
schemes? The answer which ought to
be given may be found III that his
torian whom some of Mr.. Roosevelt's
friends have found him reading and
reported the fact in their dwe-struck
way. Thucydides gives US i'll his Sixth
Book an account OF the lures which, to
crafty his own ambition, AlcibiadeS
held up before tie Athenian people;
and also gives us the warning speech
which the old general Meas made to
the assembly. One sentence of his
might well have been addressed TO the
American people, in connection with
their brilliant young man and his gilt
tering program:
DO not you give him the opportunity
of indnlging his own magnificent tastes
at the expense of the state. New

PARKER A SAFE GUARDIAN.

'The business men of the country
are not to be fooled or alarmed by the
denunciations of Judge Parker's pro-
gramme. His manly stand for the
gold standard and his strong advocacy
of a return TO all those principles of
law. order and constitutional govern
ment which are the noblest heritage
of the American people give the am
plest assurance possible that. if elect
ed, he Will jealousy safeguard the
commercial interests of the country"

1t remains fact that the Republi-
can Congressman who stormed the
White House in behalf of Machen and
Beavers, if they did not save those Of
Tenders at least succeeded in persuad-
ing him that it was dangerous to go
far with investigations of corruption
in the departments of his administra-
ton.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1904-09-23

The big stick which President Roose-
Welt would use for the derelictions
from duty by little South American re-
publics becomes a bluff of blow with
a bladder when he undertakes to smith
corruption in his own administration.

Judge Parker. having laid aside his
ermine, took mighty long shot at Re-
publican extravaganza. He rang the
bell as far away as Oyster Bay. 1t
was a beautiful piece of political
craftsmanship.

ONTARIO FEELS LACK OF RAIN.

Ontario is suffering from a severe
water famine. " ellis and creeks are
dry and so short is the supply of drink
ing water that farmers are talking of
selling off their cattle. Should the
ground freeze before rain falls the water
will run off in surface drainage and the
wells will remain useless until spring.
Dairymen report that milk is becoming
scarce and customers on routes are be-
ing cut off. In Toronto the average
rain fall during the month of Novem-
Der for many years back was 3.07 in.
