PROSPERITY WOULD BE HALTED
Many Changes Threatened in the
Economic System.
MANY UNCERTAINTIES IN SIGHT
Business Would Be Impaired and
Demand for Labor Decrease.
HE TAKES LOOK BACKWARD
Reference is Made to Effect of
Previous ReyisiOns of the Tariff
According to Democratic
Principles.

BEVERLY, Mass, Sept. S.-Presi-
dent Tai; mas sent a telegram to II. W.
Dearborn, chairman of the executive
committee of the Commercial Travellers
Sound Money league, now in session in
New York, expressing the opinion that
business unrest will result if the demo-
cratic party is victorious in the coming
election. The telegram in part is as
follows:
THE league has done so much good in
the past that it is of the utmost I'M
portance that it's influence should be ex-
erted in another direction, ON the issue
of which largely depends, in my judg-
ment, the continuance Of the great era
of prosperity, high wages and good
profits, which is now just opening to
the people of this country. / ask the
business men of this country what en-
couragement they will find and what
new investments they feel like making
if they arise from their beds on the sixth
day of November next and learn that
the democratic party will after the fourth
Of March, 1918, be in absolute control OF
the executive, the senate and the house
of representatives? No one can affirm
the extent Of the changes which would
be effected in our economic system by
such a result except from what has
happened in the past. The tariff would
then be revised on democratic principles,
as shown by the democratic bills Of the
last two sessions Of the congress, and
our whole economic system changed.
Prosperity would be halted, business
would be impaired and the demand for
labor would show a marked falling off.
