One Year Of the Tariff.

Those persons who got themselves
committed against the Payne tarih
act before 1t had a chance either to
Justify or condemn itself in actual
practice, have no comfort from the re-
turns of the treasury department. So
consistent is the favorable story from
month to month, from quarter to
quarter, and now for the whole year,
that the critics nave to turn to an
cient history for consolation. They
must appeal from the relentless logic
Of results, as recorded in the customs
returns, to the flawless logic of their
own extra-session speeches. as print
ed in the Congressional Record" be-
tween March Is and August Z, 1909.
What does a year of the Payne act
show? AS the treasury department
recites, it shows ordinary customs re-
ceipts SIS 100000 above those OF the
banner fiscal year 1907, and $75,000.-
900 in excess of receipts for "any
other year of our national life except
1907" There was deficit of $5S, ,739.-
955 in the fiscal year ended June 80,
1909; there is surplus for the year
Just ended of more than $20.0O0,000,
the corporation tax law, passed as
complement to the Payne act. con-
tributing s27,099.934.
Thus the tariff has turned deficit
into a surplus; it has been a success
full revenue raiser. and therefore ac-
complished the primary purpose for
which import duties are levied. This
it has done by stimulating importa-
tions, and the only way to stimulate
them is by lowering duties, by real
revision downward" This revision
downward, the returns show, takes
the form of rates little lower than
those OF the Wilson act and averaging
AZ per cent lower than those of the
Dingley act; 1t has been accompanied
by a greatly enlarged free list. The
rapid increase in importations offers
some little ground for regret. but for
reasons precisely opposite to those ad-
vanced in Iowa and Wisconsin. 1t
suggests that a greater flood than was
anticipated is pouring over the low
cred tariff wall.-New York Evening

WHAT IS TO BE HOPED FORT

The size Of the Democratic victory

II Will include an overwhelming ma
Jority In the house of representatives
and a gain Of many United States
senators. Ohio. the presidents own

oent. will be sweepingly Democratic.
Ma1orities will be SO large that peo-
pie will tire OF computing them
New York World, Thursday. August

If the result Is thus certain, and
everything is over except the shout

country will get as a consequence of
the revolution. says the New York
Globe, If the overwhelming majority

What is the Democratic program?
What will we be voting in? Prac-
t1cal persons desire an answer to
these questions. for political matters

fare.
1t is hardly worth while to go back
to the Democratic platform to get a
statement Of Democratic purpose. Mr..
Bryan wrote that platform, and re-
cent events have indicated that Mr..

Gratis are numerous, but they are con-
Trajectory. No one can gather from
them with any surety what Is present
day orthodox doctrine. 1t is not going
too far to say that Democratic au-
thority can be quoted In favor of and
against practically every known po-
Htical and economical proposal. A
sad state Of muddle exists on the Re-
publican side, but its stream is clear
and crystal compared with the Demo
cratic muddiness. Mr.. Hearst has in
dicated that he proposes to be a
Democrat this year; so have many OF
Mr.. Cleveland's friends: SO have not
few former Republicans and indie
pendents, some of them on the ground
that the Republican party is entirely
too radical and others on the ground
that it isn't radical enough.
In the absence of other authority.
one turns with some measure of hope
to the campaign book recently issued
by the Democratic congressional COM
mittee. Here Is something official.
Party funds have paid for its printing.
1t has been compiled by duly author
lied agents and editors. and 1t con-
tains what is to be regarded as the
latest orthodox Democratic doctrine.
1t is copious book. having no less
than 512 pages. But alas! the read
ing of it but increases confusion.
What will the Democratic party at

not even hinted. There is plentiful

PRESSED HARD,
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

much better than she did prior to its

BIC CORN CROP.
(Pikeville Banner)

Pope Bros. have gathered off of the
one field of corn that their father rails
ed and sold them some months ago,
499 loads of corn, and have in the
same field or body which was rented,
about 40 more loads to haul. The to-
tai in bushels will weigh and shell out
at least twelve thousand bushels,
which is worth at least $1,000. The
corn was all in the same body of about
200 acres, all upland, which lies south
west of town about one mile out Who
can beat this? Mr.. w. r. Pope, who
raised this crop, is one of our best
farmers and perhaps has done more to
make this county what it is, the best
cattle raising county in the state, than
any other four farmers in the county.
In early days hog raising was the
main money crop here, and there being
no railroad, they drove Mr.. Hog to
Georgia. Corn when sold was worth
from zoe to SOC per bushel. Now, big
cattle Craze on the hills and are fat
tened on the corn and other products,
and corn is worth from 60c to one dol
lar per bushel and will bring the cash
any time.
