Consumer Always the Loser.

Canada has enormous stores OF
wheat, lumber, and farm products OF
all kinds. Our people could buy these
natural products at great advantage
but for the preposterous tariff wall.
Similarly, our manufacturers are
practically shut out of Canadian mar
kets in favor of British products by
the dominion's retaliatory tariff. Large
American concerns have to duplicate
their plants on Canadian soil at great
before they can break into
the Canadian market at all.
Of course, American consumers are
the losers at both ends. They pay the
tariff tax on raw material from Cana
da and also pay the extra profits on
manufactured goods to make up FAC
tory losses abroad.
The American consumer does this
solely because the trusts have for
hidden the lawmakers at Washington
to interfere with their excessive
profits. Otherwise w would have
Canada's vast resources to draw upon
as a huge lever in reducing h cost
of life's necessities.

HAVE THE REMEDY AT HAND
People Alone Are to Blame in Sub
hitting to the Rapaclty of the
Tariff Barons.

Hutchins HapgoOd, in a current
magazine article, quotes authority for
the startling assertion that high prices
are driving thousands of salaried
men to sacrifice their children's edu-
cation.
In other words, as the cost of liv-
Ing rises the average salaried head OF
a family must increase his income by
the work of younger members of the
family. Boys and girls are taken
from school and college. Their earn
ings must help keep the wolf from
the door.
This is not confined to wage-earn-
ers, in the technical sense of that
term. 1t applies to the semi-profes-
sional classes-teachers, ministers,
bank clerks, employees Of mercantile
houses, office employees generally.
In ten years the average cost Of lv-
ing has increased about so per cent.
Average incomes are not more than
10 per cent. higher than ten years
ago.
Every article of clothing, every
item In grocery bills, even house rent,
has gone up. The maintenance of So
cial standards is threatened at its
foundation.
Happily, salaried workers have the
ballot. They can use it to put an
end to robbery of their homes by
eastern tariff barons, licensed by the
Aldrich-Taft tariff, thanks to the
Aldriches and Boutells in congress, to
plumber the people.

NOT TO BE SAVED
REPUBLICAN PARTY Is FACING
CERTAIN DEFEAT.
It's Failure to Redeem Its Pledges to
Revise the Tariff Downward
Will Not Be Forgiven
by the People.

! The Republican party Is entering
this congressional campaign with a
great flourish of trumpets and self
laudation because railroad rates, COM
merce court, twin statehood, postal
savings banks-all pet legacies OF the
Roosevelt administration-have been
handled by the Taft administration as
the Republican convention platform
pledged they would be.
The fatal flaw In this reasoning is
the nations comparative Indifference
to any side issues, when 1t is groan-
ing under the Republican party's fall
ure to redeem its tariff pledge.
True, the lowering of tariff duties
was not n of my policies" Roose-
welt not only lodged the tariff issue
for seven years, out left Taft to meet
a crisis he knew was coming.
The American people are Indifferent
as to who precipitated the tariff crisis.
They simply know that when the
CRISIS came the Republican party
showed it's allegiance to the money
power by foisting the Aldrich-Taft law
on the country.
Standpat statesmen make the mis-
take of their lives If they imagine
that the people will forgive the tariff
fiasco because my policies have
been damned through congress-.
The tremendous upheaval within
the Republican ranks alone proves
that the Aldrich-Taft tariff. with Its
higher cost of living. is the fatal mis-
take for which not even my policies
can make amends.

INDEED HAVE CHANGED
Well May the Ordinary Citizen Pom
der Whether For the Better
or Worse.

A special dispatch from Boston, pub
lished recently, is of interest to every
American citizen.
The summer hegira from the white
house to Beverly revealed the sur
prising fact that the president and
his family have eight automobiles.
The Massachusetts tax-gatherer de.
manded license fees. The state at
tOrney general ruled that no fees
could be collected from the Tafts, be-
cause the automobiles belong to the
government. The license department
decided that no licenses could be is
sued without fees.
Gov. Draper solved the problem by
paying the license fees for the eight
Taft automobiles out of the contin-
gent fund provided for the governor
of Massachusetts.
Ordinary Americans, who do not
govern but bear the cost of govern
ent, can not help wondering why
eight automobiles should be required
by the president, in addition to $685.
900 a year travelling expenses, and
the yachts Sylph and Mayflower, with
their heavy annual upkeep.
Times certainly have changed since
Thomas Jefferson rode up to the
white house, tied his horse to tho
fence, and entered upon the duties OF
president of the United States. From
the point of view of the taxpayer
they can hardly be said to have chang
ed for the better.

Democracy's Appeal.

The Democratic party has an oppor-
tunity to win one of the greatest vic
tories il its entire history. But its
standard bearers in the congressional
campaign must be men whom the
people will instinctively trust.
This is a year when factional poll
tics and spells hunting should be for
gotten in the choice Of congressional
candidates. 1t is a year for picking
out the highest grade men to repre-
sent the party in congress.
In a sense the Democratic party, as
we'll as the Republicans, is on trial
this year. For it is the historic party
Of the ~people-and the people never
needed a mighty defender more than
now.
Democracy's appeal to American vo-
tiers will be strong and effective just
in proportion as the character of the
party's candidates is above reproach'

CHANGES IN THE SENATE
Eleven States at This Election Could
Give a Majority for Revision
Downward.

Does the "east" realize that low
tariff sentiment, similar to that exhib-
tied in the Cleveland campaigns. II
expressed this fall, would give us not
only a revision downward" house OF
representatives, but a senate as we'll?
At this years election the Demo-
Gratis are certain to win the following
seats now held by Republicans: Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and Nevada.
The following states, which were
close or Democratic before 1896,
choose legislatures this fall which
elect United States senators to sue
coed Buckley Of Connecticut, Du
Pont of Delaware, Kean of New Jer-
sey, Depew of New York and Dick OF
Ohio.
A revision downward tidal wave,
like the old Cleveland fights, would
give us Democratic successors OF Car
ter Of Montana, Elkins Of West Vir-
ginia and Flint of California.
Every one of the above states went
Democratic in the tariff fights Of 1890
and 1892, SO that 1t is not unreason-
able to expect them to go that way
again on the same issue following the
passage of the recent Payne-Aldrich
grab, particularly as the senators who
represent them and whose successors
will be chosen by the legislatures
about to be elected are all rabid high
tariff men of the extreme stand-pat
variety.
A change from Republican to Demo
cratic in the above eleven seats would
increase the present Democratic low.

above mentioned where United States

Our National ExtravaGance.

Where only a few years ago we
had the billion-dollar congress we now
have the billion-dollar session and
the two-billion-dollar congress. Unless
this waste of public money is checked
by ballots at the polls, how long be-
fore we shall have the two-billion-dol-
lar session and the four-billion-dollar
congress?
Here is one issue that comes to
the Democratic party ready made
from the hands Of its opponents. The
money exactions of no trust, Of no
monopoly, have equaled the money ex-
actions of the United States govern

New York, July 16.-A century af- ter the death of Thomas Paine the Revolutionary patriot, the honors so long denied him are being paid. The process is somewhat slow but four or five years ago an organization was perfected of those who wished to bring Paine into his true place among the founders of American liberty and it is making progress. A. Thomas Paine national museum is now open at New Rochelle in the old house presented to Paine by the state of New York in 17S4 in recognition of his services in the Revolution. This house, which is now owned by the Huguenot society of New Rochelle, stands on the Paine farm, which was presented to him with the house, farm of PIT acres confiscated by the state from a Tory named Frederick Devoe. The Thomas Paine National Historical association, which was incorporated in 1905, is in charge of the arrangements. The mu- scum contains relics of Paine, and the association has a great number of cartoons and caricatures of the pa. triot, mostly of English origin and provoked by the publication of his Rights of Man. It has many Paine portraits and first or early editions of his works, Common Sense" '"The Rights of Man. 'The Crisis and '"rhe Age of Reason"

Temperature Not High To day, But Humidity Is Great and Causes Much

Although today was not as hot as Sunday it was still torrid enough tC keep those who had no occasion to be upon the streets within their homes, or in the shady recesses. Yesterday s thermometer fell many points below that of last Saturday or Sunday, but still that ever present stiekiness was there. The mercury in the self regis tering thermometer at F. Lyman's the Main street optician yesterday after noon at o'clock showed its highest mark, 90 degrees. The coolest part of the day was in the morning at 7:3O, when the fluid came up to 67.
 Today is even stickier than yester- day. Those that can tell it in their bones are saying that tonight will out do its immediate predecessor. A torr1d night envolved itself into another heated day, the mercury this morn ing waking up at 79. By gradual steps, the heavy fluid moved upward till at 2 o'clock this afternoon S8 was reached This will probably be kept up until about 3:30 when the highest point will probably be reached, fol- lowing by a slight falling.

Princeton. Y. J., July 16.-Professob Woodrow Wilson, president of Prince ton university, will be the Democratic candidate for governor of New Jer- sey at the election next November. This was decided upon at a coufer- ence between Professor Wilson and a dozen or more prominent New Jersey Democrats held at the Lawyers club in New York City. Professor Wilson came down from his country home in Lyme, Conn.,, to attend the conference For several months President WfIso,5 has been mentioned in Connection with the nomination, but he did not give the matter serious consideration for some time. Meanwhile Frank Katzenbach of Trenton, who was the candidate two years ago, and who came within 5000 votes of defeating Governor Fort; Senator George s. sH- ger of Middlesex, Mayor H. Otto Witt penn of Jersey City and Assen1bIyrslan Edward Kenney of Kearny, Hudson county, announced themselves as can didates The sentiment for Professor Wilson continued to grow, and while the party leaders seemed to favor Katzenbach Sor the nomination be- cause of the excellent showing he made against Governor Fort, they realized that If Professor Wilson would take the nomination it would insure the state for the Democrats. It wasn't an easy matter to get Pro- lessor Wilson's consent to stand as a candidate, but finally he yielded, say ing, "I have always taught my boys emergency that should arise" Profes- sor wilson, 1t is understood, will in a few days issue a statement announc- ing his candidacy.

FIRE DESTROYS NORTH RIVER
 PIER TODAY
Especial from United Press.)

New York, July 16.-F'ire that started on the pier of the Metropoli- tan S. s. Company at the foot of Full ton street on the North river this afternoon was soon beyond control. All of the city fireboats and engines from Manhattan were hurried to the scene and fought the fire from all sides. A strong southerly wind was blowing which increased the spread of the fire.
 The turbine steamer Yale, which with her sister vessel, the Harvard, plies between this city and Boston, took fire but was lowed out by the fireboats and the blaze extingufshed. She was badly damaged.
 Washington Market on the east side of West street, across from the burning pier, caught fire half doz- en times from flying sparks but the fremen managed to save the struc- ture.
 The pier is a total loss. The dam age may total $750,000.

 FARMLAND WHO DISAPPEARS

John Glenn, farmland employed by A. S. Wakeman of Fairfield, has strangely disappeared, close upon an attack of heat prostration, and ms wife fears that heat stroke has so affected his mind that he is wander ing aimlessly about the country.
 Glenn was stricken with heat pros tration last Saturday, and after a day at St. Vincent's hospital he had so far recovered that he was able to go home.
