Reaching Out for Something Else.
Cedar Rapids Republican: What
a strange campaign this has been, but
It Is only recently that many have
commenced to think seriously Of it's
meanings. Most men have been swept
along by spectacular thinking and the
suggestions Of something unheard and
q common humanity.
Just what has been aimed at no one
that we have seen has ever been able
to describe It has all been q sort Of
Elittering generality.
Among other things the minds Of
the people have been filled with
conceptions of something wrong, some
thing oppressive. We have heard OF
bosses and Of high prices and we have
been, told that certain men have cure
alls for all those things.
And in the turmoil few of us have
stopped to think how really fortunate
most Of us have been during the past
few years. There are some now who
are actually saying that the chance to
work for good wages, the opportunity
to sell. whether labor or products, for
good prices Is non-essential. They say
there Is something higher, and yet
they do not give very definite accounts
of that something. II 1t IL something.
But after work and wages are scarce
and farm products are down, by that
time many people will begin to think
again.

. strona on Promises.

Clinton Herald: A Clinton county
farmer, and who by the way il sup
porter of the bull moose candidate
for the presidency Though why seems
a little bit remarkably has added his
mite to tho present campaign. In the
course of recent conversation he de-
clared that the bull moose candidate
for Che presidency reminded him
strongly. of doctor he knew once
upon time. When reminded that 1t
was difficult to see the point, he said:
why, this doctor. when you called
on him, no matter what might be your
ailment declared. \ can cure you"
Those who have given attention to
the promise Of the bull moosers will
have little dificulty In discovering
the application.

THE PAY ENVELOPE.

Des Moines Capital: A protective
tariff cannot guarantee that employers
will deal justly with their employees.
A protective tariff cannot guarantee
an increase Of wage in the pay en-
velope as Colonel Roosevelt says he
would like to do. A protective tariff can
do no more than, give the business to
the American factory. A protective
tariff gives the opportunity. II the en-
ployer Is not dealing Justly, the labor
unions and the law must deal with
him. Because he does not deal justly
with his employees affords no Just
reason for destroying all American
industries. In free trade countries en-
ployers deal unjustly with employees.
This Ii a part Of human nature. Fac
tories and shops in America which
are protected by the patent laws, are
generally conspicuous by their unfair
means toward their employees. Those
who oppose the tariff attempt to make
1t appear that the tariff is responsible
for every mean thing done by sell
fish man whose business has some ad-
vantage from the protective tariff.
This argument is more than fifty
years old. The argument that won the
battle in 1892 for Grover Cleveland Is
the argument now used, to-wit: that
the owner of the factory has dis.
tinct benefit from the tariff, but that
the employee gets no part of the profit.
The argument Is only used when the
tariff Is in force and the wheels are
going around When the tariff having
been ruinously cut down, the quarrel
ceases, then everybody Is out of a job
and there Is nothing to quarrel about.
History repeats itself. The country II
headed for new experiments and new
revenges.

tow path Of q canal, Mckinley worked
his way up. They believed in construc-
ton, not destruction. They saw that
their opportunity depended on the sue
cess of the republican party.
The democratic party has never
been builder. It's record is the OPP
posite Woodrow Wilson stands today
for free trade policy--a policy that
has always destroyed the home mar
ket for labor and produce, and put the
country in a condition OF want and
misery. That us Its record, that Is its
history.
In 1892 times were good, people
were employed, crops were bringing
good prices, capital and labor were
busy like they are now. The repnbli-
can party was in power. But the free
traders said, we are paying too much
for everything. They said, put US in
power and we will fix 1t 50 you can
buy cheaper. The people were tempted
they listened. The free trade orators
said then, just as they say now. that
there were SO many people who had
to be fed and clothed that prices could
not go down. The people took q
chance-they voted for change.
They were soon sorry, but 1t was
too late. The harm had been done. The
low tariff people were In charge.
In few months the foreign made
goods began to come and the factories
in this country we're forced to close.
Men were thrown out OF work and
they and their families suffered. Good
tradesmen. skilled mechanics begged
for chance to saw wood, clean yards,
or anything that would let them earn
enough to keep those dependent upon
them from starving. 1t is beyond IN
derstanding why men will vote to
bring on those conditions again.
Now, young man, those are the
things for you to study. They are facts.
You must make up your mind and do
your own voting. You are one Of those
who will be affected by the result of
the election next Tuesday. 1t is a part
Of the responsibility that you must
now assume. It is left to you to decide
how to make the most use Of your
citizenship. Do not neglect 1t.

WILL REDEEM PARTY PLEDGES
Definite Announcement Is Made by
PTesident-Elect Wilson

w llSDu
Il shall call Congress- together

than April 18th. ] shall do this
not only because | think that
the plecss> Of the party Ought : Ne
redeemed as promptly as :, ~. .le..
but also because l know it in
the interest of business that IN
certainty as to what the particular.
items of tariff re~iSion are to be
should be removed as soon as posi-
ble.'
Presideut-elect Woodrow Wilson
took the first important step Friday
towards carrying out his pledges to
the people, when he announced his
purpose of calling an extra session
of Congress not later than April
18th. instead of waiting six months
after he assumes the presidency on
March 4th for toe regular session
to convene.
As he issued the above statement
the President-elect remarked:
The list OF members If Congress
and prominent Democrats through
out the country VINO had expressed
themselves on the subject showed
that the sentiment in favor of the
calling Of an extra session was wide
spread might say almost unani
nous. The extra session will have
the advantage of giving US an early
start towards effecting the reforms
TO which the Democratic party is
pledged"
Mr.. Wilson expressed himself as
unquali6edly opposed TO free-trade
policy, which, he said, was not ad-
vOcated by any thinking Democrat.
But he was just as determined in
his attacks upon the high tariff on
lhe necessities OF life which permit
ted monopoly to exist at the eX-
penSe OF the consumer. In state
ment made soon after his election
Mr.. Wilson said again, as he mad
hundred times in his c.mpaigu. that
nothing would be done which hon
est business men need fear.
Mr.. Wilson is confident that the
Democratic House of Representa-
tiYes and the Democratic Senate
will work in harmony to carry out
the party ; pledges and adjust the
tariff on basis which will be for the
benefit of the people of the country
as whole and not for a privileged
class. 1t is with this aim in view
that he decided o. the extraordi-
nary session.
Upon reading Governor Wilson 5
announcement, Colonel William len
niugS Bryan said: Il think that
both his conclusions and his rea
sons arc sound and | have eXpe ed
the special session. | hold n, tie
tariff is the principal quest 'ow
before the people for discus 90. "
Congress, and it will dou btless
prove so. l see no reason, however.
why other imports Mt matters should
not be taken under consideration at
the same time IN the committees
and even on the floor of the House
hatNapn discussions on the tariff 70
vision proposition.
