Democratic Program.

To reduce first the tariff on the
necessities of life, put it higher on
Injuries, repeal it on all articles
sold cheaper abroad than at home,
with a gradual reduction of the
whole list to revenue only basis
is the program of the Democratic
party as promulgated in Baltimore.
Such program ought to, and
does, appeal to every man to whom
the increased price of food and
clothing is an appealing fact. The
Republican plan of forcing people
10 pay more taxes than are neces
sary for an economically admins
tered government is crime which
admits of no defense since the tax
on many articles enables the trusts
to put up prices and extort money
from the people and pay too little
to The support of the government.
The tariff is the paramount issue
of the campaign and upon their
promises in regard to it the Demo
Gratis are riding to certain victory.
The interests have too long been
monopolizing control of the gov
eminent. The old and exploded
claim of the Republicans that the
consumer does not pay the tariff
taxes no longer fools sensible peo-
pie. Their pocketbooks have felt
the weight of the absurdity and
they will vote to change a system
of taxation which breeds monop-
oily, encourages graft and enables
a few to grow rich at the expense
of the many. They know that a
vote for Governor Wilson and the
Democratic candidate for Congress
assures the much needed change.

Carter COunty's Roads.

The people of Carter county are
in the midst of an active good
roads campaign which will be car
ried up to the November election.
At that time a proposition will be
submitted to the voters for the
issue of bonds to the amount of
$50, 900 for road improvement.
An address issued by the Carter
County Good Roads Association
recites that in the last thirty years
the county has spent more than
100000 on the roads with no i'm
ment in their condition. 1t is ex-
planned that a bond issue can be
carried with no increase in the rate
of taxation, as "the plan would be
to issue the bonds in installments,
issuing such amounts each year as
the court thinks could be spent to
the best advantage in that year,
first paying the interest, then lay
ing aside fund each year so rs to
accumul tie enough to take up The
bonds as they mature"
The Good Roads Association de
clareS the road question to be the
paramount issue before the people
of Carter county and puts the ques-
ton: will we go on under the old
system of shoveling $4,000 per
year into ruts to be washed out the
following winter and spring, or
will we be wise enough to profit
by the example of our Boyd coun-
ty ne!ghbors, change our system
and enjoy good roads9"
A system under which more
than 100000 has been expended
in thirty years with no apprecia-
Die results in highway betterment
certainly should he discarded for
some more sensible method Of pro-
cedure. IF Carter county, now
spending $4,000 a year on her
roads, should continue the old sys-
tenn for another thirty years she
will have expended about a quarter
of million dollars, assuming there
is no increase in taxable property.
Does anyone in Carter county be-
lieve the future promises any bet
ter results than have been attained
in the past through this practice of
"shOveling $4,000 per year into
the ruts." If there are any voters
so credulous they may properly
vote against the bond issue. If,
on the contrary, they want bet
ter system that will insnre better
roads aud less waste of the tax
payers hard-earned money they
should follow the advice of the
Carter County Good Roads Asso-
citation and vote for bonds.

Less than one week remains be-
fore the election. At present there
is every indication of Democratic
success, but things can happen il,
that short time to turn the tide.
We do not believe it possible that
anything can turn the tide from
Wilson, but we should take moth
ing for granted. Every Democrat
who loves his country and his
party should get on the firing line
and remain on duty until the close
of the polls November 5th.
