A Prophet without Honor.

President Taft says that the
Democratic policy as to the tariff
will put an end to prosperity, shut
down the mills and factories and
produce a panic worse than that oil
1907. But this prophet of evil is
joined to his idol OF a high protec.
tive tariff, which he claims is the
cause of the country's great pros.
perity, whereas, as a matter oil
fact, it is in spite of it. Prosper
ity is due to record breaking crops
and other natural causes. TO tax
the people for the benefit of the
trusts ond not to pay the expenses
of the government economically
administered is crime. The peo-
pie have stood it as long as posi-.
BILE and have determined to punish
those responsible for it by electine
a Democratic Presidentand Dem,
ocratic Congress.
