Leslie's Weekly says of the Democratic
ca rdidates for President and vice presi-
T. Dent, that while both pose as ''progres-
81 yes,'' on the most important issues be-
fore the people they are reactionarles OF
the worst type. Nor is their platform
progressive. On this issue it is the
worst reactionary Democratic platform
in thirty years. Leslie's says:
The greatest issue is that of the pro-
Section of American labor from the com
petition of cheaper labor abroad.
Every first class nation has either adopt
ed the policy of protection or has made
progress toward its adoption. The Unit
ed States, which under protective tar
if has made greater industrial progress
and secured higher scales Of wages than
any other nation in the world, will not
take step backward in this matter.
Woodrow Wilson is free trader who
is opposed to every vestige OF protection
to any American industry, and he stands
upon platform which. like the platform
of 1892, declares that protective tariff
as unconstitutional.

The causes of the high cost of living
are many and various, not the least of
which is the cost of high living. Now
we shall have to pay higher prices for
clothing and boots and shoes, and the
reasons given therefor are interesting.
The advance in the price of cloth is said
to be due to conditions over which the
manufacturers have no control. The
most important element that brought
about the advance is that the domestic
wool clip this year is about 10000, 900
pounds smaller than a year ago. The
price of wool has also gone up abroad,
while mill owners say that the high
scale of wages and the shorter working
hours will also have their effect on the
increased price of cloth. The prices for
the spring 1918 season will be from 7 1-2
to 20 cents yard higher than those
which prevailed, last year, when the
values for the past spring season were
announced. How much more the mer-
chant tailor or the retail clothier will
charge the consumer because of the adj
vances that have taken place cannot be
stated accurately at this time. Then as
to boots and shoes, one dealer says that:
'Since January 1908 the price of leather
has increased 70 per cent. The price of
shoes has been raised from time to time
to keep pace with the increased cost of
stantial boost must be made in the price.
The principal cause of the advance is the
popularity of the automobile 1t is not
generally known how many sides of
leather are used daily in the manufac-
ture of the automobile, but it is some
thing enormous.

Southern sugar planters raise cane;
but western farmers beet them. Last
year the West produced $40, 000 tons of
beet sugar as against the South's 308, 900
tons of cane sugar. Western farmers
last year had nearly half million acres
devoted to sugar beets, yielding them a
revenue of $26, 900, 900, and with little
encouragement we could produce at
home every pound of sugar the country
needs. If the efforts of the tariff revis-
ers to make sugar free succeed the effect
on this industry would be ruinous, and it
is safe to say that the consumer would
pay as high price for sugar. There is
another thing to be considered. The De-
partment of Agriculture points out that
in rotation with the sugar beet the yield
of wheat, corn, oats, barley and potatoes
is so increased as to enhance the value
of these staples almost four billions of
dollars. The raising of sugar beets in
Maine was attempted some years ago,
and factory was established in Port
land, but it was not successful.

A Washington special says there are
probably millions of dollars in gold coin
circulating in the United States which
are not worth their face value. In the
West Indies and southern countries gold
coins were never taken at their face val

piled with scales on which the coin was
weighed when received. While the gov
eminent does not require that gold coins
shall be of standard weight to be re-
deemed at their face value, it has estab-

ance," which permits loss in weight of
one half of one per cent. Below that

WASHINGTON, D. C. July %, 1912.
The note of dissent which the British
Government handed Secretary of State
Knox last week, and which in turn has
been transmitted to the Senate by the
State Department, opposing the free
toll feature of the Panama Canal bill,
now under discussion in the upper branch
of the national legislature, may have
some bearing on the legislation to be
enacted affecting the operation and gov
eminent of the canal, but just now the
Senate is going ahead discussing the
House bill as amended by the Senate
Committee on Interoceanic Canals as
if the request for the delay had never
been sent.
Should the Panama Canal bill as it
passes the Senate retain the House pro-
vision for free tolls for coastwise YES
sells, as now seems certain, the bill must
still go to conference. as there are a
number Of extremely important amend
ments in the Senate bill, which if they
pass in the form reported to the Senate
will necessarily invite controversy be-
tween the conferees.
The British contention that the pro-
vision which practically gives free
passage to certain American ships is in
contravention of the -Pauncefote
treaty is not without support in both
Houses of Congress, but a careful can
vass of the Senate shows that majority
of that body is on the side of free tolls,
and it is believed that feature of the
House bill will be retained even if there
should be considerable change in the
section of the bill relating to the use of
the Canal by railroadowned steamships.
The debate on the Panama Canal bill
will probably last for a fortnight, the
bill having to be laid aside when
supply bills are ready for consideration.
1t is expected the discussion will take a
wide range and will call out all the con-
stitutional sharps and experts. That a
strong effort will be made to provide not
merely for free tolls to American vessels
in the coastwise trade, but for such re-
vision of the WORKOUT navigation laws of
this country as to admit foreign built
vessels to American registry is also
deemed certainty.

The general staff of the army has
completed its plans for an entire reorga-
nization and increase of the military es-
Establishment, work upon which it has
been employed ever since it was founded
some years ago. The great object
sought is the reorganization of the army
on the footing of constant readiness for
war, with a permanent expeditionary
force always ready for immediate SER
vice.
In report to the secretary OF war the
general staff says, as a result of close
study of the situation in the United
States, that ahalf million men are needed
in the first line of defense, including
$4,000 coast artillery. ''This is the
minimum number of first line troops
necessary; and that to augment this
force and replace its losses we should
have plans made for raising Immediately
an additional force of 300, 900 men. All
these forces should be available for SER
vice anywhere"
The present land forces of the United
States comprise in the regular army
about $4,000 men out of the total of
about $4,000 authorized, ana the Ma
tional Guard about 125, 900 men. The Ma
tional Guard is not liable for duty on
foreign soil, though it can volunteer for
this service.
The organization Of the regular army
on a division basis is declared to be the
moving reason for the proposal toreduce
the number of army posts from forty
nine to eight, step which would replace
the present dispersal Of the regular land
forces by greater concentration. This
feature of the proposed scheme of re-
organization would be fought bitterly by
those representatives in whose districts
posts have already established.
