CONSERVATION OF PROSPERITY.
Competent authorities estimate
that agricultural products in the
United States this year wheat. corn.
oats, barley. cotton, hay and pota-
toes-zwilI yield the enormous total
OF SIS, OOO, 900 900 in new wealth as
against $4,000. 100000 last year.
with this foundation for prosperity
Il Is claimed there is "1s months
OF good sctiye business ahead de-
spite the shadow OF the presidential
election. and along comes Secretary
OF Agriculture Wilson with hopes
that one result of these bumper
crops will be a reduction in the
cost Of living. AS far as nature is
capable OF painting a bright outlook
and as far as Industrial and market
conditions technically satisfactory
serve to hold promise for the future
every prospect is pleasing. Only poll
tics is vile.
Under such circumstances the in
telligent and discriminating voter
should take careful counsel and not
commit himself to any action which
will involve dubious changes In
governmental politics. Bumper crops
do not come only during Republic
can administrations It is possible
to produce them without political
assistance. But crops there were
harvested when the Wilson tariff
bill was in force found no purchas-
ers because thousands OF industries
were idle and millions of skilled
workmen were out of employment.
Corn was used for fuel instead OF
being fed to hogs and cattle, and
prices for farm products were 80
low that there was no incentive to
raise bumper crops.
There never Is scarcity OF labor
under a Democratic tariff, yet right
now, with the, much-maligned Payne
act in operation, there is "a notice
able scarcity at nearly all the leading
centers, both in skilled and unskill-
ed workmen. Never in the history
of the country we're wages as high
as they are today, and never has
the farmer been more prosperous.
BIT IL is as sure as the cum that II
Gov. Wilson, the Democratic nom
inee for president, is elected, aud
he IONS a Democratic congress IN
revising the tariff downward, there
will be depression in industry aud
res, ctions in wages which no pIin-
per crops can avert. You can't eat
your cake and have 1t too. You can't
have low tariff and high wages.
Neither England nor any other
country has ever been able to bring
that about. And a bumper crop
achieves its ultimate Importance
only in proportion that It becomes
worth while Of the farmer 20 pro-
duce 1t and as the consumer can
buy it and enjoy 1t. The man who
votes foR Taft and Sherman, there
j fore votes not only to let well enough
alone, but for the conservation of
prosperity"
