A Warning From England.

1t is interesting, and enllghtenlne
also. to note the increasing hold viii III
| the movement for protective policy
is taking upon Great Britain. Just al
this time when Mr.. Bryan and those
associated with him in managing the
Democracy are advocating free
trade policy, or at least a tariff reduc-
ton policy which amounts to the same
that it's allegiance to this kind of a
policy is the cause of the great prob
lem Of the unemployed which is now
pressing 50 hard for solution. Hun
dreds of thousands of working men
are out of employment in England
not only just at present but always
There are more thousands out of
employment just now, to De sure than
ever before. but labor prosperity such
as has been known in this country for
the past dozen years is wholly I'M
known in England
III consequence lHt DIlllSll SONeTIl-
ment is driven to all sorts OF expedi-
ents. The old age pension is one Of
them, seeming necessity to keep a
tremendous army of persons who have
not been able to make any provision
for the future from actual starvation
More shipbuilding for the navy is
another eXpedient for the employment
OF d few thousand extra men, The
planting of trees, following a scheme
for reforeStation. is expected to care
for another few thousands Market
gardening is to be fostered in the hope
that still others may find living in
it. But all these schemes do not
reach the root OF the evil When they
will still! remain the vast array of the
unemployed. And yet the most i'm
portant cause for this continuous de-
preston in Great Britain is perfectly
apparent. 1t lies in her free trade
policy.
After all, the home market is the
most valuable market, and this Eng
land has failed to protect. Her shops
are filled with goods manufactured
abroad. Made in Germany is a label
met with at every turn. These
cheaply made articles are admitted
Of 1,f,- Wi
goods manufactured in England. They
drive the mills out of business They
close manufactures or force them to
reduced time and reduced pay rolls.
That is what is the matter with Eng
land, and if Mr.. Bryan could be
elected and have his way he would
soon drive the United States into
similar position
The lesson taught by the conditions
il. England cannot be mistaken by any
intelligent American working man.
Even the tariff revision of the Cleve-
land administration. not nearly so
radical as that now proposed by
Bryan, upset the business conditions
of this country and kept them badly
unsettled until the Republican protec-
tive policy was restored. If any
working man has any doubt as to how
he shall vote next Tuesday let him re-
call the Cleveland soup house era and
let him consider the industrial con-
ditions in England. A vote for Bryan
will mean vote for duplicating those
conditions in this country, while a
vote for Taft will be vote for the
certain continuance of our splendid
Industrial prosperity.

Indian Summer Days.

With rustling leaves on tinted trees,
With nuts 1or all to crack;
With days So bright and frosty nights
October has come back
No month more dear in al, the year
For youthful work and play
Above is blue; dark days are few,
Let's trolic while we may.
These ara the days of sunny skies,
OF apples red and pumpkin pies.
Out on the farm, midst fields of corn
The yellow pumpkins CLEAN;
While squirrels gray, friskinS AT play.
Among the leaves are seen.
These glorious DAYS of purple haze
OF Indian Summer rare
They bring to al! the joys OF fall,
With blessings Wondrous fair.
October is the harvest tire
The golden month of northern cline,
