1t is thus easy to understand how

producing countries in the world, and
especially our neighbor upon the
northern border, would send in wheat
and corn and deprive the American
farmer of his market.
In 1892, when there was prosperity
under a Republican administration. a
majority OF the people voted In favor
of a change and elected Grover Cleve-
land president. What happened then
will happen again. There will come
anxiety and distress. with many
thousands of factories closed. MIL
lions OF workingmen out of employ
ment and the farmer suffering under
low prices and decreased value of his
farm lands.
The way to avoid this result Is to
vote for Taft and Sherman and the
entire Republican ticket.

busy. according to returns filed with

On July l.. 120 steel vessels, aggre-
eating 254 900 gross tons. were under
construction or under contract to be
built. against barely 100000 gross
tons at the same time a year ago. The
influence of the approaching opening
of the Panama canal is manifest, as
upwards of 10000 tons are building
for us through the canal. Since con-
gress in the Panama canal act insured
free tolls to American coastwise and
duty free materials and equipment

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 a Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency
and a 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 demonstrat-
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 the 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
and enacting the new schedule, SO
that nearly a 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 a low price in order to OBJ
tain ready money. The treasury. as
In C1eveland's time, would have to
sell bonds to maintain its gold re-
serves. and these bonds would be
bought by foreign capitalists with
American gold which had gone into
