IN the Wisconsin senatorial primaries

managers, Senator Pomerene, of Ohio,
today declared to the senate that he
would vote to seat the aged solon.

campaign he cautioned his managers

Business Confidence

In his speech Of acceptance Wood
row Wilson asserted that the tariff has
made the business men of the country
"dmid, fretful, full of alarms: has
robbed them Of self confidence and
manly force until they have cried out
that they could do nothing without the
assistance Of the government at Wash
ington."
Present day conditions challenge the
accuracy of this statement. The excel
lent doctor would do we'll to point out
some Of the ''timid, fretful" business
men who are now full Of alarms" and
who are lacking In self confidence
and manly force" Where can he find
them?
The country is at the high tide Of
prosperity. Business confidence is in
evidence everywhere. The course Of
the Republican administration is di-
rectly responsible for this condition
Danger lies only in change of admin
istration, with the consequent change
OF policy that is promised. Then, tru-
ly, the business men of the country
would be full of alarms" and they
would have justification.

How Prosperity Changed TO Panic
When Democrats Elected a President.

How Prosperity Changed TO Panic
When Democrats Elected a President.
In January, 1892, this country was
prosperous, and all conditions indicated
continuance of prosperity.
In November of that year a Demo
cratic president was elected.
In 1893 the Democratic congress, con.
vened in extraordinary session, began
its anti-protection activities. After a
time it enacted the Wilson low tariff
law.
In the early summer Of that year
came the panic In the period from
May to July %, 301 banks. with a
total capital of $3S.OOo.OOO. suspended.
The total number of banks suspended
in that year was 5S5
In 1892 the total amount of liabili-
ties on account of business failure was
$114,000.000. In 1893 the total was
S346, 100000.
In the year 1893 railroad properties
whose aggregate value was $1.2O0,O0O.-
600 were in the hands OF receivers
Between May and Oct. 3 $37s, ,0OO, 900
was withdrawn from national banks.
In this state alone Withdrawals Of
deposits from savings banks were s34.-
100000 in excess of deposits made.
In the period from Jan. 1, 1892. to
Jan. l, 1896, there was a shrinkage of
$4,000 900 in the total value of farm
products and live stock in the United
States.
In that period prices were lower, but
hundreds of thousands were wageless
and other multitudes worked at low
wages and on short time. They had
little money or none with which to buy
even the most ordinary necessaries of
life in adequate quantity.
Now, after twenty years, the Demo
cratic party is again asking the electo-
rate OF the United States to put it in
control of national affairs in order that
the performances of its last period of
control and their disastrous conse-
quences may be repeated.
The Republican party, under whose
administration during sixteen years
the country has become newly pros
porous and more prosperous than ever
1t was before, pledges itself to mainte
nance of the policies which restored
and promoted prosperity.
There is a paramount issue. What
intelligent American can hesitate to
make his choice?-Albany Journal.

Webster, Mass, Sept. 90
Stanislaus Grodzik, who lives in
the East village, although he
isn't voter, is red hot for Will
son and has one Of the strongest
arguments ever In favor Of the
Princeton professor for presi-
dent.
Grodzik has lived in Webster
fifteen years and is a candidate
for naturalization next year. He
won't be able to vote for Wilson
this year, but has advised all his
friends to vote for Wilson,
Grodzik's argument is that he
works too hard under tho pros
perity administration of Taft and
Republicans and wants a rest.
With Wilson and Democracy at
tho helm Grodzik, who has ex-
perienced the administration of
one Democratic president, knows
that there will be plenty of
chance to loaf.
For ten months the East vii
lage mill Of the S. Slater G. Sons,
Inc, has been working night and
day to fill orders, and as a result
OF the prosperity at the mill
Grodzik has been worked over
time. II Taft is re- elected Grod-
zik fears that the overtime
schedule may be extended to an
other term of ten or twenty
months and wants to call a halt.

in spite of 1t all the good people of

for second term by nearly 10000
votes.
All the liquor attorneys and the
liquor press in the country may yelp

his standing with the great masses of
the good people Of Tennessee. They
have tried and tested Hooper and
they know that he is true. MIR. Lit

of Gov. Hooper of the methods that
are being used by the liquor and back

campaign for governor eight years

of sympathy for the liquor cause. 1t
is not hard therefore to find the rea-

But Littleton's barking at Hooper
will be no more effective now than
1t was before the election. The

BANNER YEAR In
FOREIGN TRADE
NINETEEN TWELVE HAS MADE
THE HIGH RECORD FOR THE
UNITED STATES.

WASHINGTON, Dec 24-The for
eign trade of the United States in
1912 will exceed all previous records.
Figures just compiled by the bureau
of statistics, department of commerce
and labor indicate that the imports
of the year will approximate $780,
100000 against $1,563, 100000 in 1910.
which was the former high record
year for imports and that the exports
will aggregate $2,4O0,OOO,Oo0 against
81, 100000 in the former high rec
ord year for exports, 1911. The cal
endar year also will break all records
in the value of both imports al 4 ex-
ports.
The increase in imports occurred
especially in manufacturers raw ma
terial, which for the ten months for
which figures are available amounted
to $523,S73,088 against $421 ,503,273 in
