tariff for revenue only is tariff
low enough to allow the foreign manu-
facturer to ship his goods into this
country to take the place of American
made goods. 1t is impossible to pre-
went such a tariff from shutting down
American factories, because being a
low tariff it will not produce any
revenue to speak of unless 1t does
bring in great quantities Of goods, and
If it does produce the revenue 1t shuts
down the factories here that have been

Woodrow Wilson, the man who is now seeking
election to the presidency the kind of tariff
platform that brought the country to want in $685. has
written history of the United States in which, speak
ing of the conditions during the democratic admnstra
ton 1897, he says:
"A great poverty and depression had come upon
the western mining regions and upon the agricultural
regions of the west and south. Prices had fallen Men
of the poorer sort idle everywhere and filled with
sort Of despair All of the larger cities and manufac
turing towns teened with unemployed workingmen,
who with the utmost difficulty kept from starva
tion by the systematic efforts Of organized charity
Then continuing, Prof Wilson pays this high trib-
ute to protective tariff:

That was the time of Kellys and Coxeys armies

and children from starving.
In 1897 protective tariff law was enacted and re-
NAMED in force until August 1909 when the present
tariff law was put into force 1t is known the Payne
law and while it has been criticised by every free trade
writer in the United States has not thrown one man
out of employment nor closed bank, nor shut fac
tory It has produced revenue than any other bill
ever did and has worked hardship anywhere 1t is
trifle lower thar the Dngley BILL but it is high enough
to protect American industry and American working
men from the invasion Of foreign made goods.
This is not politics 1t is simply part Of the history
of the country.
Upon those who are now young men and women
will soon be the responsibilities Of government. This
matter that we have called to their attention is part
of our governmental system they should study very
closely We realize that this is not age conducive to

ton has been found for one of the
great problems that" faced the Ameri-
can people. In this connection It
should be remembered that the trusts
grew to their greatest power during
the time that Roosevelt was presi-
dent Attention also should be given
to the fact that while nearly every
great trust In the country went to New
Jersey to be incorporated and took
that state as their home. because OF
the favorable state laws, Woodrow
Wilson as governor of New Jersey has
not turned his hand to attack the
trusts.
President Taft has been practically
alone in his prosecution OF the trusts.
This accounts for the size of the cam
paign contributions used In an effort
to defeat Taft
And this gives one more reason why
the great bulk of the people should
support President Taft, the man who
has been fighting their fight for them.

TAFT IS A FEARLESS PRESIDENT.

Ar 10 n feAHIESS HH6SIOENts
There never has been time In tho
history Of this nation. when 1t so
much needed such man for president
as William H. Taft, as 1t does right
now, and will need for the next four
years. He is a thorough believer in
representative government, and this.
nation cannot exist In any other form
than as the representative govern
ment 1t Is too big and it's interests
are too diversified for 1t to be possi-
BILE for it to conduct itself as a pure
democracy. President Taft knows
this and realizes 1t, and fearlessly ad-
vocates measures that he thinks are
best for all the people and just as
fearlessly vetoes those that he feels
are against the welfare of the people.
He has been prosecuted. misrepre-
scented, bounded from all sides, but
through it all he maintains dignity
and bearing that is indicative Of the
broad-minded statesman.

SHANGHAI. Nov. "a Sunday g.
There was the greatest military actiy-
ity in Pekin all last night, according
to dispatches from the capital. Army
officers hurried about, the war office
was open until we'll this morning.
The fact was rather impressed than
concealed that this had to do with
the situation In Mongolia. which had
been known for months that Russia
was planning to grab, under pretense
of establishing independence.
That President Yuan Shi Kali really
meant trouble with the Russians in
Mongolia, foreigners here were not SO
certain It has been known all along
that he opposed a resort to arms and
lit was thought possible that his mill
tary preparations we're designed to
satisfy popular clamor but that he
would take care that they did not lead
TO hostilities.
Had he continued to oppose the gen
Eeral outcry for war it was pretty evil

eminent. Anti-Russian meetings VIA
be held in every important city in
China today, the big secret societies
have been enrolling men as soldiers
for several days, boycott Of Russian
goods is being organized and there
has even been heavy movement OF
troops toward the Monaghan frontier.
One thing. however, was consider
ed certain-if Russia should become
embroiled in war over the Balkans,
President Yuan himself will mean
business. He has realized from the
first that the loss of Mongolia would
be severe blow to his prestige and
his unwillingness to fight was due
rather to doubts of the Chinese
army's ability to beat the Russians
than to a disposition to submit tame
ly to the grab. With Russia engaged
in struggle with Austria and Ger
many it was considered foregone
conclusion that he will seize the OPP
portunity to drive the cars subjects
