HARD TINES PERIL
COUNTRY'S INDUSTRIES EASILY
INJURED BY LEGISLATION
OF DEMOCRATS.
FARMERS ALSO CONCERNED
Plain Explanation of Reason Why
Menace Of New Tariff Laws viii
Cause Condition of Uncertainty and
Business Paralysis.

Because you are healthy today are
you certain that you viii be well a
year from now?
No.
And because a country is prosper
Gus today is it certain that all will
| be we'll year hence?
No.
The reason for this uncertainty is
| the danger of the election of a Demo
cratic candidate for the presidency
and a Democratic congress
Many people are saying in this cam
paign that this country is too big and
too prosperous to be affected by a
change of administration. Nothing
could be further from the truth. A
Democratic victory can easily result
in destruction of the present pros
perity.
This fact can be easily demonstrate
ed If it should be known on the
morning of November that Wood
row Wilson has been elected presi-
dent of the United States, every
American manufacturer would know
that in the course of time there would
be a radical change in every schedule
Of the tariff. The Democratic party
declares in its platform that protec-
tion is unconstitutional. Woodrow
Wilson is a free trader, and of the
229 Democratic members of the
house of representatives 1875 are
from the south, a section which has
oil IN 0F
These free trade southern Democrats
would dominate the house caucus and
oUtvote the northern and western
Democrats who honestly believe in
some measure of protection to
American industry
But the trouble is that the change
would not come Immediately First
of all, there would be tedious and
anxious waiting through the months
Of December, January and February,
for the new congress would not as
semble until after the 4th Of March.
Even then, three or four months
would still be consumed in debating
and enacting the new schedule, so
that nearly a year would pass before
the American manufacturers would
be made acquainted with the condi-
lions under which they would have
to conduct their business. During all
these months the factories would live
from hand to mouth, purchasing no
supplies and employing no more work
men than absolutely necessary to fill
existing orders.
And then, when the law had been
passed, American manufacturers
would find that the doors Of the
United States had been opened to
foreign importations Manufacturing
which should have been done in the
United States will be done by labor
ers in England, Germany, France,
Austria and even China and Japan
Before long, American gold would go
across the sea to pay for these for
eign-made products. AS in Cleve-
lands time, this would deplete the
bank reserves, coropelling loans to
be called in and securities to be sac
rif1ced at low price in order to OBJ
tain ready money. The treasury, as
in Cleveland's time, would have to
sell bonds to maintain its gold re-
serves, and these bonds would be
bought by foreign capitalists with
American gold which had gone into

Warned Against Labor Men.
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct 27-At the
dynamite conspiracy trial on Friday,
four witnesses identified Herbert S.
HOckin, one of the defendants, and
who succeeded John J. Mcnamara as
as having given information against
the other forty-fve defendants to the
government.
Walter Drew, a New York counsel
for the National Electors association,
testified that Hockin had said:
q know they've got me, but don't
want to be the only one"
'Hockin came to me several times
and told me my life was in danger"
said Mr.. Drew. He told me fellows
on the Pacific coast, naming Olaf
Tveitmoe and Ed Nockels, we're after
me and that I had better look out
for a fellow named John Stevens Of
Chicago. He said he would warn me
later when I might expect danger.
Mr.. Drew related that a strike had
been declared by the iron workers
union in 1905, and explosions on work
Of members of the Erectors' associa-
ton began soon after that time.
Hockin is the man who Ortie E. Nc
Manigal said put him in the dynamit-
ing business, and who engineered
many of the jobs blown up by McMan-
igal and James B. Mcnamara He
is also accused by the government Of
having "double-crossed" the union Of

evening Clothes Going Out.

Evening clothes are becoming a
lost art, said a guest at an inland
summer resort. I'VE arrived here at
about the dinner hour yesterday, and
our trunks reached our rooms so late
that we reluctantly, but hungry, went
TO dinner as we were. I felt relieved
when | saw that of the 81 men at the
tables only two wore the conventional
dinner dress. One of them was the
proprietor, who said that the automo-
bile was responble for the democratic
change. Our patrons are to a great
extent tourists who carry only what
absolutely need. and that does not in
cIude fine toggery. Those who live at
the house take their cue from them.
