Why the Republican Journal is get

Just Letting Off Steam

The fundamental purpose of pro-
tective tariff is to keep out foreign
products by making the prices of
those foreign products higher than
they would be If there were no protec-
tive tariff. IL you don't believe It.,

policy of the dominant party in the
land of liberty the policy to prevent
trade Lewiston Sun.
To prevent trade? Not bit of it!
The fundamental principles of pro-
tective tariff are to so regulate trade
that certain foreign products may not
be brought into the country to sell at a
price lower than American manufac-
turers must have in order to pay
workmen fair prices, that certain
American products may not be so
highly protected as to enrich their
manufacturers while robbing their
consumers, that the rates be always
fixed with a view to bringing the
greatest good to the greatest number,
thereby increasing national wealth
and increasing trade by putting money
in the pocket of the workingman with
which he may purchase.
To prevent trade? Since Republi-
can Protection has become a policy
not to be surrendered, the wealth of
the United States has increased six
times. FOREIGN TRADE THREE
TIMES, the wages in our factories
three times, our railroad mileage six
times, and the value of our manufac-
tured products seven times, our ex-
ports from 1897 to 1909, 800 per cent.

Certain Victory

There would seem to be no doubt
whatever regarding the result of the
candidacy for the Senate of Judge
Powers. In fact, to our own minds
there was no doubt from the very
beginning of the outcome OF this cam
paign against Senator Hale. His
method of campaigning appealed
thoroughly to the average political
right off and went at the business of
organizing his forces, as one long
schooled in political wisdom. The
result, as We suggest. was inevitable
There can be but one outcome to
such straightforward fghting-vic-
tory!
And victory is precisely the goal
already within the reach of the Aroos-
took man. From all parts of the
State come assurances OF pledges of
support. The Republican newspa
pers of Maine are warmly endorsing
his candidacy or, like the Kennebec
Journal, are waiting to see If any
thing unforeseen may appear on the
political horizon. In truth, 1t is
really surprising to find how general
is the satisfaction with Judge Powers
candidacy.
The candidacy of Mr.. Cobb is not
being favorably commented upon by
the citizens or the press. He may be
getting in touch by correspondence
with those who were formerly in
close touch with him but who,
for one reason and another
have been dropped from his cor
respondence list, but there is no evil
dence whatever that the people are
flooding the mails with congratulatory
epstles. The candidacy of Cobb Is
purely and simply a currying affair
and should not be taken seriously by
those who may get within the range of
his typewriter letters and his rubber
stamped name.
No, the victory of Judge Powers
is certain, and the citizens of Maine
are to be congratulated on their Sc
lection.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Campaigning

The Pittsfeld Advertiser of April
% gives two thirds of column on
its first page to statement touch
ing upon enforcement of the prohibi-
ment Is signed by one George c.
Gage. 1t is not worth the space re-
quired to reproduce 1t in full but the
substance of 1t is that Sheriff John A.
Mooers has enforced the law in and
about Skowhegan to the satisfaction
Of the people, but has been lax in en-
,orcement in the town of Pittsfield.
After rambling through several para
graphs using the pronoun ~ very
extravagantly, the writer closes his
remarks with the following;
Now to speak of the present | have
been informed by citizens that in GER
tain parts of our village that their
wives and children did not dare to go
out on the streets in that section af-
ter dark on account of drunkenness
and it is no unusual sight to see on
our principal streets, especially on
Friday and Saturday evenings from
one to one-half dozen in such condi-
ton as to be hardly able to keep on
the sidewalks and the condition of
these things around the station are
such as to disgust those who live in
that section of our village.
Judging from local conditions, am ]
not justified in thinking that the pa
! +ha@ oil
pledges to support the present sheriff
! for reelection are misleading and
that the author has deceived himself
or wishes to deceive others.
GEORGE c. GAGE.
Pttsfeld April 27, 1910.
These statements are absurd. Not
because we believe that they are, but
because the facts belle them. Resi-
dents of Pittsfield deny that such
conditions exist. The Pittsfield Ad-
yertiser owes it to its readers to give
them the truth and to apologize for
giving space in it's columns to despi-
cable, dishonorable rot, rejecting
stupidity upon its writer and unfair
ness upon the Advertisers editor.
1t is altogether impossible to en-
force perfectly any one law on our
statute books. Criminals are bound
to be-even in Pittsfield-and 1t Is
not always possible to bring about
the arrest of the guilty; but the vot-
ers of Somerset county know full
we'll that Sheriff John A. Mooers is
giving his best efforts and wonderful
vigor and enthusiasm to the State
and county in an attempt to enforce
the prohibitory law, and that no COM
munity-however bad it may adver-
tise itself to be-is neglected in this
keen warfare against illegal selling.
No county in Maine has in its service
sheriff as tireless in the cause of
enforcement as John A. Mooers; he
has attracted the eyes of the whole
State together with its admiration.
We are not given to opinions but
rather to facts. Therefore We give
no opinion why the Advertiser gave
space to Cages Misrepresentation;
but it certainly appears to be the be-
ginning of dishonorable campaigning.
Further developments may reveal the
cause.

The new constitutional amendment
giving the people of Maine the power
to initiate and reject legislation has
not been given, at least up to the pre-
sent moment, a fair trial 1t will
certainly be a year yet before we
shall be able to judge accurately of
its merits. In the meantime, the
friends of direct legislation need not
be unduly alarmed at any threatened
attempt to have the amendment re-
pealed 1t will not be{repealed, else
we mistake the temper of the minds
of the average Maine citizen. Not
only will it not be repealed, but 1t
will grow, as it is growing, in popu-
lar regard among our people
1t Is idle to contend, however, that
the fight for direct legislation in Maine
is over 1t is not over and never will
be over so long as selfishness among
individuals and business corporations
has foothold among us. Eternal
vigilance is the smallest possible
price to be paid for the blessings Of
an honest peoples government.
The invocation of the initiative
feature on several measures not af-
fecting in any vital sense the interests
of all the people suggests perhaps
that the new amendment may need
some slight changes; but the present
attempt to invoke the initiative on
questions of very general interest
and importance Is certainly test Of
its righteousness.

The Tariff and Our House.
hold Expenses

When things do not go just rlSnt
some one must be blamed. 1t makes
the victims of misfortune feel easier
II there is some one or something to
throw mud at and say harsh things
about In most derisive-and pre-
ferably unreasonable manner. In no
other way can we account for the
growing inclination, on the part of
zen who ought to be good protec-
tionists, to declare that the increased
cost of living may be attributed di-
rectly to the Payne Tariff. So much
Tariff misinformation is being print
ed by editors who are disgruntled
over their large grocery bills-(we
would not intimate that Democrats
would lie about the effect of the Payne
Tariff because of their party habits
oh noD--so much misleading argu-
ment Is being injected into editorial
columns that we take this opportuni
ty to present lew FACTS to those
of our readers who are not well in
formed about this Tariff, hoping that
these FACTS may offset the evil that
may have been done by the rankly
biased OPINIONS of the Lewis ston
Sun and allied journals.
In the first place, the Tariff on food
products has been greatly decreased.
In schedule G.. Embracing agricul-
tural products and provisions) there
are 1877 articles of which Ia were de-
creased and 10 increased, making
only 33 changes in all. The products
In which there has been reduction
of rates enter into the consumption
of the country to the extent of $4S3,-
430,637; whereas the products in
which there has been an increase of
rates enter into the consumption of
the country to the extent of $780,
043-a mere crumb in the basket.
Therefore, since only 33 out of 1877 ar
ticles were changed at all and these
in way that favored the American
consumer, how can the growth of that
figure at the bottom of the grocer's
bill be attributed to the Tariff? 1t
cannot--by sane and reasonable cit
liens of the United States. Food pro-
ducts have increased in price the
world over; and because there are not
enough to go around, they are pre-
cious. Consider the result of a sur
plus of potatoes In Maine: they are
selling for twenty cents per bushel
and 1t is said that they will be bought
at even lower prices. Now If there
were a shortage of potatoes so. that
we had to pay a dollar bushel for
tffcm, the Lewiston Sun would point
to the Tariff and say, "It's to blame,
it's to blame!" Which iG only a good
illustration of biased OPINION; an
absurd thing when confronted with
the facts.
1t Is estimated that 30 per cent of
the cost of living is represented by
food, 25 per cent by clothing, and 25
by rent and fuel. The Tariff on the
latter two has not been changed. The
Tariff on all articles that effect the
high or low cost of living has remain
