SENATOR T. P. GORE WRITES
ENCoURAGINGLY OF SUCCESS.

Fifth Avenue Building,
New York. Sept. 30.

Democratic National Committee,
Fifth Avenue Building,
New York, Sept. 30. !
. Editor Times: write to reassure
you that theprospects Of Democratic
, triumph were never brighter. The
morale Of the Democratic army was
! never better. A united Democracy
aud divided opposition renders
success dOuDly certain. The pres
( sent situation leaves little to be
wished for. The recent elections in
Vermont and Maine prove that the
Democrats are voting under the
unit rule this year. They prove
more than that. They show a sub
stantial increase In the Democratic
, vote. II we poll the full party
strength defeat 10 impossible. Moth
ing could possibly defeat us but
over-confidence. Security Is mans
chiefest enemy-in politics. We
must, therefore, take nothing for
granted. We must perfect and
maintain thorough organization.
The campaign must be vigorous,
must be unremitting till the battles
over, till the victory's won.
No single agency can contribute
more to Democratic triumph than
the Democratic press. No agency
can do more to see that every Dem.
ocrat voter and votes the Democratic
ticket. We are relying upon your
constant and Invaluable assistance.
Democracy expects every Democrat
to do his duty this year.
While victory is inevitable II all
Democrats do their duty, still the
door Of Democracy stands wide open
this year. Above that door 10 en-
blazoned the word "Welcome" and
that welcome Is rendered to all indie
pendent voters. The spirit of our
campaign is reflected in the follow
ing resolution which was unanim-
ously adopted by the Democratic
National Committee at Chicago on
July 18th, last:
1--WE congratulate the country and
the Democracy upon the exceptional
of Democratic success in
November next. We rejoice that all
Democrats everywhere are united
and enthusiastic In support of the
platform and the nominee OF the
party.
1--WE earnestly invite all voters,
without reference to previous politi-
cal faith or affiliation who are in
sympathy with such platform and
nominee, to unite permanently or
cooperate temporarily with the
party IN this supreme
struggle for establishment of justice
and equal rights as against favorit-
ism and privilege.
Resolved, That we gratefully Ec-

John G. Mckinley voted
Against Antitrust Law

John G. Mckinley the Republican
nominee for Governor, was the only
member OF the Missouri State SEN
ate who voted against the antitrust
law passed by that body In 1903.
(See Senate Journal 1903, page $50. }
The bill was substitute for SEN
ate Bill 1888, and was entitled IAN
act to prevent conspirscies, or the
creation of monopolies for the pur-
pose Of keeping up the prices OF
coal, food products, lighting or fuel
oil, or other necessaries Of life, or
creating artificial scarcity of such
articles or necessaries.
This bill passed the Senate by the
following vote: Ayes %, Nay |, alb
sent 8. On that hill Mckinley was
the only member OF the Senate who
voted Nay.
Every other Republican In the
State Senate, and every Democrat,
present on that day, voted for this
bill. Mckinley alone stood forth
against II. And now he asks the
people of Missouri to elect him Gov.
ernor OF this State! In heavens
name, why? What would such a
man do In the Office of Governor?
The people of Missouri want a Gov
ernor who will fight against the
trust and not for them.

One thing the farmers II eed TO
keep in mind this campaign is,
that if they don't want the single
tax amendment to carry they must
not fail to be at the polls on No
vember 9Th and vote against it. If
there ever was a time when the
farmers of this State should show
their strength at the polls it is this
year. Two or three stay-at. HON
voters in each precinct might cose
them Il good deal.

Christopher Betten, an old citizen
Of Madison county, died Oh the 9th
ult. The Fredericktown Tribune
says he was born In Germany In
March, 1880, where he was reared
and where he married. He moved
to this country sometime In the SOS
and came direct to Mine LaMotte,
where he worked as u miner until
1917 when he bought the farm on
which he died and where he engaged
In farming until he was too feeble
to do the active duties Of the farm.
He leaves an aged wife and two
sons and four daughters to mourn
his death.

~ HE principal doctrine of the
~ Republican party is the
DRY of protection to Ameri.
can industries, and this doctrine
has been grated into the statutes
of our country. 1t is responsible
for the unequal distribution of
wealth that has come to be such a
menace to government by the peo-
pie, and is largely the cause of the
high cost of living. And yet,
strange to say, there is nolcOnsti-
tutional authority for the levying
of tax or import duties for any
such purpose. Section s of article
] of the Constitution says The
Congress of the United States
shall have power TO lay and collect
taxes, duties, impOsts and excuses,
to pay the debts and provide for
the common defense and general
welfare of the United States, " but
nowhere does it say or infer that
Congress may levy import duties
on any article for the purpose Of
favoring or protecting some private
industry or industries. All such
duties must be levied to pay the
debts, provide for the common de.
Tense and general welfare" Of gov.
eminent.
In other words, Congress is only
authorized to levy taxes. duties,
imposts and excuses to raise rev.
enue for the maintenance of the
government. 1t has no authority
to levy single dollar of tax to
maintain, establish or encourage
any private business at the expense
Of the people. Yet that is what
he Republican doctrine of protec.
ton, enacted into laws contrary to
the constitutional provision for
raising revenue, does. and it is an
open boast OF the Republican party
that that is what the protective
tariff duties are levied for; il even
goes further, and declares that
these duties should be high enough
to insure the favored ones "a rea-
sonable profit in the conduct of
their business. Does it insure a

ness or occupationi
The tariff, or import duties, is
one of the means by which the gov.
ernment may raise revenue, and as
every import duty naturally carries
with it an incidental protection to
some industry manufacturing the !
article upon which the duty is i'm
posed, it should be made as low as
is consistent with the governments
needs. That is a tariff for revenue
only-not for protection. To
place a protective tariff ON any ar.

prohibits importation, deprives

HOW 10 CONTROL TIE TRUST

We should have legislation that will as surely prevent a corpo- ration from injurving or dealing unfairly withanother corporation as the laws already secure in the case of individuals. If compe- tition is given fair show, bust. ness may be done on a bip scale indeed, but We do not believe 1t will tend toward the fofmation of actual monopolies; and in case actual competition exists. the people would get greater benefits from competition among big busi- ness concers, ably managed and econmically administered, than would from competition among a greater number of little business es unable to effect the economies that are possible only through combination and cooperation on a large scale.
 Instead of following the dema- gogues who cry, Let's break up all the big corporations and put their organizers in jail" and ih- stead of following the hirelings who cry, Let the trusts alone or you'll make a panic and ruin business" is there not a wiser common-sense policy that may be briefly summarized as follows.
 CD See that the trusts or big corporations that have been guilty of vicious methods, that have grown hig by oppression and robbery (as the Tobacco Trust, for example) are adequat- ely punished, and not merely split into separate compan.es to be controlled by the same forces as here. tofore.
 (2)Enact stringent legislation and create proper governmental agencies to prevent big corpora tions from crushing competition by unfair methods. but legislat- ion will leave thepeople the bene- fits and economies that come from conducting business on a large scale.
 With unfair competition pre- vented. big industries would se- cure the advantages of greater economy of production, but there is little reason to believe that any one organization would mon- oDolize a product. In case of an actual monopoly. however, the Government should protect the public from eXtortion by limit ing prices and profits. The Pro- gressive Farmer.
