IS THIS COUNTRY PROS
Porous?

The reports given out last week
through BradstGeets and other sources
clearly indicates that the panic,
which began in October 1907 is still
on, and that trade conditions are far
from normal. Bradstreet said, on
June 25th, among other things: "In
Industrial lines there is little evil
dence OF improvement yet to be seen.
The iron trade is fairly active, but
pig iron is lower, and the trade feel
ing as 10 the last half of the year is
hardly as optimistic rs i'm the first
six months. In cotton goods the
movement is still in the direction OF
curtailment, both north and south
Flour milling is inactive. Lumber
demand is irregular. Collec-
tiOns do not show much improve
ment. Business failures were 49,
last week against l7S for the week
before. " etc. Crop prospects have
improved during the warm weather
of the past two weeks. IL is evident
further, from newspaper reports,
that business is not good. In the
west the great railroads have cut Off
10, 600 men, and many large coal
mines are idle. Work is scarce and
living is high. The laborer, on a sal
airy OF dollar or two day, finds
it still more difficult to support his
family, pay doctors bills, rents, etc.
And yet, there are still many people
foolish enough TO believe that a vote
for the Republican party means n
vote for prosperity and better times.
The Republicans promised that if
Mr.. Taft and the Republican candi-
dates were elected that the high tax
es on the necessaries of life should
be reduced and living would there
fore he cheaper. Instead, just the OPP
posite thing was done. The tariff
was revised, but upward. The trusts
were well taken care of. The old"in-
FAINT industries are still protected al
the expenses OF the masses IF labor
ingmen, who are dependent upon
days work for their daily bread. Is
this right? Is it fair 10 take from
the poo. and give TO the rich? The
great voting population OF the Unit
ed States have the power to right
this great injustice. 1t can be done
quietly and easily at the ballot box.

Mr.. Slemp, the Standpatter

The News is gratielid that Hon.
Henry G. Stuait after being inform
ed upon the political situation in
the Ninth, expresses the strong con-
viction that he will be elected To the
next House OF Representatives. He
earnestly maintains that Republi-
cans all over the district are dissat-
islied with existing conditions and
are going 10 make their dissatisfac-
ton felt by Stuart ballots. We sub
init that's very effective manner in
which TO voice Republican protest:
and about the only way that is
worth while.
'Mr. Slemp makes no apology for
his record. He stands squarelv with
tue Cannon regulars in the House.
lie defends the tariff legislation of
the present Congress, which from
thousands OF liberal Republicans all
over the land is being condemned TO-

must necessarily plead for n contin-

tions insofar as they are. the pro-
ducts of public cgislation-highI iv

right-this the Cannon claim; this
the Aldrich claim, this the Slemp
