HARD TIMES PERIL

FARMERS ALSO CONCERNED
Plain Explanation Of Reason Why
Menace Of New Tariff Laws VIII
Cause Condition Of Uncertainty and
Business Paralysis.

Because you are healthy today are
you certain that you will be well a
year from now?
No.
And because a country is prosper.
GUS today is it certain that all will
be well a year hence?
No.
The reason for this uncertainty is
the danger Of the election of Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency
and Democratic congress.
Many people are saying In this cam
paign that this country is too big and
too prosperous to be affected by a
change OF administration Nothing
could be further from the truth. A
Democratic victory can easily result
in destruction of the present pros
perity.
This fact can be easily demonstrate
ed. II it should be known on the
morning OF November that Wood
row Wilson has been elected presi-
dent of the United States, every
American manufacturer would know
that In the course of time there would
be a radical change in every schedule
of the tariff. The Democratic party
declares In its platform that protec-
ton is unconstitutional Woodrow
Wilson Is free trader. and of the
229 Democratic members of the
house of representatives. 1875 are
from the south. section which has
always been in favor of free trade.
These free trade southern Democrats
would dominate the house caucus and
outvote the northern and western
Democrats who honestly believe In
some measure of protection to
American industry.
But tho trouble is that the change
would not come Immediately. First
of all, there would be tedious and
anxious waiting through the months
of December, January and February
for the new congress would not as
semble until after the 4th of March
Even then, three or four months
would still be consumed in debating
that nearly year would pass before
the American manufacturers would
be made acquainted with the condi-
tions under which they would have
to conduct their business. During all
these months the factories would live
from hand to mouth, purchasing no
supplies and employing no more work
men than absolutely necessary to fill
existing orders.
And then, when the law had been
passed. American manufacturers
would find that the doors of the
United States had been opened to
foreign importations. Manufacturing
which should have been done In the
United States will be done by labor
ers in England, Germany, France.
Austria and even China and Japan.
Before long, American gold would go
across the sea to pay for these for
eign-made products. AS in Cleve-
lands time, this would deplete the
bank reserves, compelling loans to
be called in and securities to be sac
rificed at low price in order to OBJ
tain ready money. The treasury, as
in Clevelands time, would have to
sell bonds to maintain It's gold re-
serves, and these bonds would be
bought by foreign capitalists with
American gold which had gone into

AN ACUTE PROBLEM.

That the maintenance of the Mon
roe doctrine is getting more and
more an acute problem for the Unit
ed States is a subject of growing
comment about congress. Winfield
Jones, a well known Washington cor
respondent, says the fact is dawning
on congress in connection with the
Mexican problem with all it's vexa-
tious angles.
Within the last few days there has
been a good deal to emphasize the
troublesome nature of the Monroe
doctrine. The passage by the senate
recently of the Lodge resolution call
ing on the administration for infor-
nation on the reported concession to
a Japanese company of a coaling sta
ton on Magdalena bay has given
point to the truth of what is here
set forth about the Monroe doctrine.
1t is not seriously questioned about
the capital that this country cannot
ANi " AlOAuCht 1OOh OH quietly II ia
pan has actually gained a basis on
the Pacific coast. Magdalena bay is
in such close proximity to the Pana-
ma canal and has such patent STRAIT
egical advantages that for Japan to
have coaling station there would
put the American navy at an obvious
disadvantage.
Senator Lodge in a recent senate
speech on the arbitration treaties as
sumed that if such a thing came to
pass this country would at once in
tervene. In view of his important DO
sition on the foreign relations COM
mittee his utterances at the time
were given great weight, but not as
much as his resolution of inquiry.
If it is found that Japan has by
nook or crook got a coaling station
on Magdalena bay the disposition of
congress will be to put it's foot down
so hard in protest that there cannot
he any mistake as to what it means.
1t requires no magnifying to perceive
that this thing, if the facts are as
reported, is extremely dangerous and
might become a cause of war be-
tween the United States and Japan.

Vests Plea for the Dog

At trial in a small town in Mis-
souri,, over the killing of dog, Sen
ator George Graham Vest, who was
then young lawyer, appeared for
the plaintiff At the close of the
case young Vest arose and in a soft
voice made the following address to
the jury:
''The best friend a man has in the
world may turn against him and be-
come his enemy. His son or daugh-
ter that he has reared with loving
care may prove ungra' eful. Those
who are nearest and dearest to US,
those whom we trust with our hap
piness and our good name, may be-
come traitors to their faith. The
money that man has he may lose.
1t flies away from him perhaps when
he needs it most. A mans reputa-
ton may be sacrificed in a moment
of ill-considered action. The people
who are prone to fall on their knees
to do us honor when success is with
us may be the first to throw the
stone of malice when failure settles
its cloud upon our heads.
THE one absolutely unselfish
friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never de-
serts him, the one that never proves
ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.
mans dog stands by him in pros
perity and in poverty, in health and.
in sickness. He will sleep on the
cold ground, where the wintry winds
blow and the snow drives f1ercely,
If only he may be near his masters
side. He will kiss the land that has
no food to offer; he will lick the
wounds and sores that come in en-
counter with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as If he were a prince.
When all other friends desert he re-
mains. When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces he is as
constant in his love as the sun in it's
Journey through the heavens.
If fortune drives the master forth
an outcast in the world, friendless
and homeless, the faithful dog asks
no higher privilege than that Of &C
companying him, to guard him
against danger, to fight against his
enemies. And when the last scene
of all comes and death takes his mas
ter to it's embrace and his body is laid
away in the cold ground, no matter
If all the friends pursue their way.
there by the graveside will the noble
dog be found, his head between his
paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert
watchfulness, faithful and true even
in death"
