Something Besides Good
Crops Is Needed.

The financial and editorial col
umns of American newspapers are
full of statements that our prevailing
depression is to be overcome by the
"great crops" that are expected.
Now, while good crops are import.
ant and most desirable, they are
only part of our country's pro-
duction. The depression does not
exist among the farmers, but among
those otherwise employed.
Seven thousand million dollars,
the estimated value of Que year's
agricultural production, is a great
deal of money, but, after all, it is
only 500 head for our population,
and we Hust have something be-
sides crops if we are to prosper.
Suppose the margin of this crop
money, above what is consumed at
home, is all expended for foreign
goods, what is to become of the
mechaRics and operatives and those
dependent upon tsremP
Suppose that, owing to Tariff
reduction, the amount now expeEded
abroad is increased, how is our
present depressed condition to be
improEed7
1t seems perfectly plain that out
side of good crops we need normal
production and consumption of
other American products, il we
would have normal prosperity 1t
also seems clear that Tariff revision,
downward, would not only prevent
the improvement We all hope for,
but plunge US deeper in the slough
of 6espond that we now are in.

Senator Allison Dead.

Last Tuesday Senator Allison o
Iowa died at hte home in Dubuque
sud ienly.
Mr.. Allison has been in public
life for nearly a half century.
He served 43 gears in congress
eight of which were in the house
and the balance in the senate.
He would have been reelected TO
the senate for another term at the
next meeting of tke legislature. Mr..
Allison has long been a leader in
the senate and was an honorable,
conservative man.
His loss is a severe one to the
country, as his couecil was ever
sought on important bills and meas
ures, both political aud financial.
He had lived a long life, having
been born in Ohio March 1890.
Seventy y-seven years of life and
over half of it spent in the legisla
tive halls of his country in faithful
patriotic service, is a most honorable
record.

DEATH by Fire.

Raging forest fires have devastated
large scope of country in British
ColuMbia, destroying everything in
,bepath of the flames.
Several towns are wiped off ,tbz
map and many people have los,
their lives.
The heavy forests of the valleys
have become seathing seas of fire.
For some time there has been small
fires in the focests, but no particular
anxiety was felt till a strong wind
arose that swept the flames forward
almost with ike speed of a railroad
train.
Resistance was useless aud as the
flames approached town the iI-
habltants abaRd oned it aud sought
safety in flight
The hills and forests of the coun.
try are full of prospectors and
lumbermen and it is feared many
have lost their lives, as they are
completely hemmed in.
Much property of the Canadian
Pacific and Great Northern rail-
roads has been destroyed.
The extent of the loss of life n d
property will not be known for some
time.

OLD AND DANGEROUS
THEORY.

Because the Republicans have
pledged them selves to revise the
Tariff, and, in fact, have already
taken the proper steps to that end
by the appointment Of a commission
to prepare data that are necessary
to an intelligent study of the sched-
ules, there was nothing for the
Democrats to say concerning the
subject except to declare for a
Tariff for revenue. This they die.
Thus they again come before the
people on an old and dangerous
theory. They hold out to the la =.
boring men in one hand a promise
that they shall not be molested in
whatever they may DO by the Fed
eral courts, and in the other low
wages, starvation, squalid homes,
no education, and, In short, every
thing that will go to the placing OF
the American laborer on an equality
with the pauper lsborers of Europe.
The Free-Trade idea in practice
that is the bug in the bonnet of the
majority of Democrats, would bring
the laboring nea of this country to
the pass of those of some of the
countries IN Europe, where riots,
rapine, Noodshed and property
destruction during the last few years
have occurred, because principles
such as they advocate have found
lodging there through the Socialist
propaganda.
The Tariff must be revised. no;
because we must no longer Protect
home industries, but because the
schedules as they now exist, in some
cases, are negotiable. Wherever
the Tariff is too high it will be
lowered, and if it IS too low it will
be raised. The maximum and
minimum provisions Of the Republi.
can platform guarantee that all in
equGlities shall be eliminated.
The Tariff will be revised along
Protective lines, the trusts will be
crushed and the government of pros.
perity will continue, by Republican
legislation. The Republicans have
said SO, and they have never broken
a promise to the people. On the
other hand, the Democrats have
never kept one, or, if they did, in
the keeping they brought ruin to the
financial and industrial prosperity
of the Nation. Frankfort Qnd. }

Some years ago, says the "Pro-
tectionis,, 1.-THE Free I raider objected
to Tariff on cement because, as
they claimed, it would impose a
grIevous burden in building opera
tons. In 1890 the production in
this country was only $4,000 bar
rels. In 1908 the output was Is. =
900 barrels, and the domestic article
is cheaper today than it was IS
years ago, when the main depend
ence was the imported cement

THE BRYAN MENACE.

Although elected as a Democra
to represent the Ninth New Jersey
district in the Sixtieth Congress
Eugene w. Leake makes public an
nouncement of his intention 10 bolt
Bryan and support Taft. Fidelity
to the in dustrial interests of his dis
trict and State outwelghs party al
legIence. Mr.. Leake represents a
constituency that is chiefly made up
of wage earners and wage payers.
He therefore draws the line al Bryan
and the Bryan platform as destruc
tive of the interests of employer and
employed. In an interview in the
New York Chimes" of July IS, Con-
gresham Leake is quoted as saying:
"Four years of Bryan's extermn i
ton plan of dealing with the nations
industries would mean bankruptcy
to Americas wonderful industrial
achievements and the loss of EN-
ploymeht to millions of working
men,"
Tfuer words were never spoken.
They deserve to be emblaz ned in
large letters upon every campaign
document sent out this year by the
Republican campaign managers,
They should be repeated in every
Republican campaign speech. Mr.
Taft would do we'll to quote and
comment upon them in his speech
OF acceptance. Ualess we are much
mistaken the result of the 1903
presidential election is gong to
turn on the Bryan menace to all
labor and all industry.

TWO PARTIES ON THE
TARIFF.

Having dropped the free coinage
of silver, the annihilaton of the
courts, and immediate freedom fol
the Filipinos as his paramount issue,
Mr.. Bryan will now attempt to cap
ture the Presidency on the Tariff
issue.
The Republicans declare their
adherence to the policy of Protec-
ton, under which the enormous
business of this country has been
built up, and under which the peo-
pie have enjoyed a greater degree of
prosperity than the world ever saw
before. And they declare that the
"true principle of Protection i, best
maintained by the imposition of
such duties as will equal the differ
ence between the cost of production
at home and abroad, together with
a reasonable profit to American
industries"
The Democrats reject the Pro-
lection principle utterly. What
they propose is 'to restore the
Tariff to revenue basis" This is
equivalent to the old demand for ga
Tariff for revenue only" In reject
ing the Protection principle the
Democrats are at least consistent.
for it was not long ago that they
formally declared that "Protection
is robbery" That there has been
no modification of opinion on this
question is clear from the action of
the Committe on Resolutions. When
one of the members suggested that
the cost of labor should be recog-
nized in reducing the Tariff sched-
ules he was sharply criticised on the
ground that his proposition was ''un-
democratic" and it was withdrawn
from consideration, says a Denver
dispatch, "upon telegraphic request
from Mr.. Bryan"
Summing 1t all up, the Republi-
cans would revise the Tariff to pro-
tect American workingmen from the
competition of poorly paid labor in
Europe and would maintain the
Protective principle for the benefit
of both wage workers and manufac-
turers; while the Democrats would
revise the Tariff without regard to
the difference in the cost of labor
between EGrope and the United
States, and would get as closely as
possible to a TariS for revenue only.
How can there be any question
about the result of a Presidential
campaign when the great Issue is SO
clearly defined as this.-Roehester

IT'S OVER,

NOW IOT d breathing Spell ant
, then united effort just to see hov
big we can make the msjorlties. Th,
new primary law has been tested
and it did its work well. 1t ha!
been claimed by the square dealer
element of the Republican party
that majority of the Republicans
OF the state were not satisfied with
the results obtained by the old con.
vention method of nominating Of
fcers.
That the ticket was named by the
few and that the great mass of the
voters had but little or nothing to
say as to who would be the nomi.
nees and that if the people had a
fair show they would revolutionize
matters. The primary system was
adopted in answer to this demand
and results as promised have fol-
lowed. The few had been manipu
iatlng political matters of the state
50 long they seemed to think it a
duty they owed to the state and did
not reallze the dissatisfaction that
was being generated in the ranks of
the general voter. A spirit of gaug
ing every question by the standard
of political expediency instead of
the moral rules of right and wrong
had taken possession of the leaders
and this was not satisfactory to a
very large element of the party.
There is large and growing ele-
ment in the party, which the results
of last Tuesday plainly show, that
desires the party to take positive
stand ON all moral questions of the
hour and champion the right even
though it may not at all times seem
to be the popular side. They claim
progressive party and one worthy
to be perpetuated should not be
afraid to antagoniZe the wrong at
any time, and take strong grounds
Oh the side of right. And, further,
that the will of the majority of the
party should rule on party questions
a I'D that some system should be
adopted whereby each member of
the party should have some practical
means of espousing his preference
and of having that preference count
Hencc the primary law, in which
every mans vote counts for Just as
much as any ether mans. Some
defects have @kely developed al
ready in the Law, but it would be
strange if radical new law of the
scope of the primary law could be
cnade perfect at the first effort. AS
these defects develop they can be
corrected, and IN time we can have
a law that Will give everybody
fair show and special privilege to
none.

The country will not be in doubt

auspices. None have any doubt
that whatever is done, the principle
of Protection will not be lost sight
