after such reduction in the tariff, but
some conception Of Its ultimate effect
can be CLEANED from the fact that in
little more than decade revenues had
\ fallen SO far below expenditures that
the government was again forced to
borrow money as it did during the pre-
ceding period Of democratic suprem-
acy. It's effect upon labor is graphically
Expressed in an address by unemployed
men made to the mayor of New York
city on January 6. 1855. Listen to their
cry:
| "We do not come as beggars, but we
ask what we deem right. We ask not
aims, but work. We don't want little
soup now and CASTOR clothing tomor-
row. But we do want work and the
means Of making an honest livelihood
The condition of the working classes
J is most piteous. They want bread. Is
there not enough in the city? They
want clothes. Is there none made now
/, adays?"
These are, in effect, the same words
used by the spokesmen for the commit
tee of unemployed that appealed for
work in Otttumwa in 1894, during the
last democratic administration.
Other illustrations were used in this
historical sketch to show the deplor-
able conditions then existing The New
York Tribune told of the thousands
that were being clothed and fed at pub
lie expense during this period when the
wheels of the country were idle.
This matter is brought to the atten-
ton, not as political argument, but
as plain, business proposition that
should make a direct appeal to the
common sense Of every citizen. The
history Of American politics shows that
low tariff has brought disaster when
ever it has been tried Conditions IN
one decade are no different than con-
ditions in another decade in this re-
gard. When the markets are thrown
open and the American worker is
thrown into competition with the pau
per labor of Europe, the American
worker suffers.
In the present campaign the republi-
can party is standing on its record Of
achievement under the protective tariff
policy. The democrats have made their
campaign on the low tariff issue, re-
CARELESS of the disaster that has fol-
lowed in the wake of such legislation
in the past.

Democracy in the past eight years. 2
says the Peoria Herald Transcript"
"has made brave and plucky fight
against railroad regulation, against
the pure food law, against conserva-
ton, against the postal savings act,
against the employers liability bill,
and against the tariff commission
clause. It has gone forth and has
fought every progressive bit of legis-
lation enacted by the republican
party, and has fought it in the hope
of being able to discredit the past
three administrations and to step into
power over the ruins OF popular
policies. In other words, democracy
in the past few years. as always be-
fore. has been ready to make ,he
country pay the price of its own sue
cess, and has amply demonstrated
that the first consideration of demo
cratic craftsmanship is the good OF

Of It's beneficial effect is to quote from
the message of President Polk submit
ted to congress in 1915:
Labor in all it's branches is receiv-
ing ample reward, while education, sci
ence and the arts are rapidly enlarging
the means of social happiness. The
progress of our country in her career
Of greatness, not only in the vast ex-
tension of her territorial limits and
in the rapid increase Of her population,
but in resources and wealth and in the
happy condition Of our people, Is with

TONS
It seems, however, that the people
were even less able to bear continued
prosperity then than now, for the
democratic party was successful in
1874, electing James K. Polk Of Ten
nessee, and George M. Dallas Of Penn
sylvania. The platform was equivocal,
and campaign speeches more so. In

PRESIDENT ANDERSON
 ELECTED SECRETARY
HIGH POSITION OF SECRETARY OF EDUCATION FOR CON-
 WAY MAN.

Rev. Stonewall Anderson, for the past eight years president of Hendrix college, has been elected to the posi- tion of secretary of education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, south, receiving a telegram to that effect from the general board, which is in session at Nashville, Tenn, this week. Rev. Anderson immedi ately wired his acceptance and will begin his new du- ties in a short time.
 The duties of Rev. Anderson will take him through the south and southwest, visiting the several con- ferences and further the advance ment of education in this territory. The office is one of considerable honor and the many friends of this dis tinguished educator are highly elat- ed over his appointment, it being the only correctional office Arkansas Methodism has ever had.
 For the present Rev. Anderson will keep his residence at Conway, but will move to Nashville next fall where he will be better prepared to follow his work.

ARKANSAS MAY HAVE
 EIGHT CONCRESSMEN

Little Rock, June 24.-Instead of seven seats in the lower house of congress, Ark ansas will probably be entitled to eight after the next gen eral election, on the increase of popu- iation shown by the census of 1910. Arkansas had but six representatives
 in congress until about 10 years ago when a seventh was added Politi clans state the time has now arrived for the addition of another district with one more in congress. The state is entitled to one congressman for every 30,000 votes cast in the general election and the coming national campaign will show Arkansas to have at least 250 ,000 voters, which will give it the extra congressman sought for. When the eighth district is tack ed on it will be made up by com plete readustment of the other dis tricts, taking off a county from each district in order to make the new one something like woman was manu- factured from rib from Adam. This pruning process may make the new district in the center of the state, a county being taken from each dis trict where they lay, as the most convenient way of making the new district. This will be just one more political office to add to the fire of the campaigns. The Republicans can be counted upon to make an effort to do a bit of gerrymandering in the effort to get a district which would formation of the new district, in an be dominated over by the Republicans and thus send one man from the party to Washington.

CROP REPORTS
 ENCOURAGING

Little Rock, June 24.-Crop reports which have been received in Little Rock during the past 10 days are more bullish than any of the season. The hot weather, especially of the nights, made the cotton grow won derfully and just at the time when the weed was needing water, the rains began to fall. Although the rains have fell in different sections of the state on different days, they have now passed around over the diff ferent counties and the cotton con tinues to grow. Superintendent Pit cock of the state farm estimates the crop will be 80 per cent of perfect one if the present conditions are maintained until fall, and frost does not come too early. The cotton on the farm is in the best condition it has been for several years.

SALOON FIGHT IS
 NOW GROWING
WOMEN ARE INTERESTED
BOTH FACTIONS WILL MAKE STRONG APPEAL TO VOT-
 FRS OF STATE.

Little Rock, June 24.-One of the y.l ongest saloon and anti-saloon fights in the history of the state is now taking place in Arkansas, but all of the fighting is being so done under cover that it is passing unrecognized
 The liquor men are reaching out to bring back the counties which re- gently became dry, to add number of others which narrowly went dry in the past election, and also to make the liquor vote in the state sufficiently large to show the temperance forces statewide prohibition bill could nev- CT carry. The temperance forces are closer organized than ever and the hired worker having been weeded out, leaving in the field men who are there to follow alone the dictates of the con science the fight can be nothing but a bitter one. The women are espe- cially being appealed to and they are asked to make the battle without os- tentation, it being figured that the display made by women in the past did more harm than good in counting votes against liquor. The saloon men are making a model license canvass which, following the work undertak- en to put the disorderly saloon out of business, indicates the liquor mer are undertaking to put their business upon a more legitimate plane. A number of prosecutions for the illegal sale of liquor in this vicinity during the past year, especially Sunday vio- lations, were instigated by the lead CTS of the orderly class of saloon men. One of the leading saloon men has in- timated recently that the house-clean- l ing is to be carried even farther and the officer with the wink elimi- mated by the saloon man putting him before the people in his true light
 This saloon man says half the law violation in the state is because off cers are elected who will not do thel duty, and the one does helps the sa- ] loon man stay in business.

Little Rock, June 24.-George B.. Cook, superintendent of public in struction, has returned from a trip to Conway, where he inspected the summer normal being coducted at the State Normal.
