TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

Years ago, before agricultural sched-
ules were written into tariff laws, when
a tariff reformer would cite to protec-
ZIONIST the history of the repeal of the
the people of Great Britain and Ireland,
the reply would invariably be, 20, that

while we only want to tax foreign man.
ufactured products. so as to encourage
infant industries" But times and con
ditions have changed. Since the Under
wood bill was reported back to the SEN
ate with recommendation for passage
the only violent speeches in opposition
have been made by professed friends of
the farmers, Senators Nelson, McCum-
Der and Cummins were the more vic.
lent and partisan in their utterances,
and characterized the bill as crime
against the farmer, and charged that it
would cruelty the farmer. High tariff
taxation has always hindered and has
never helped agriculture in these United
States. But were the reverse the case,
The Democrat has too high an opinion
of the American farmer to believe that,
blessed with bountiful crops and with a
great demand for farm products the
world over, he asks any license from
the government to enable him to exact
from his neighbor and fellow citizen
who works for days wages, abnormal
high prices for food. The speeches of
Nelson, McCumber and Cummins are
not to the honor of their farmer con
stituents, nor credtable to their own
craftsmanship Historians will 50 write

CONGRATULATIONS, SENATOR
HUSTINC.

Senator Paul o. Husting and the
other members of the conservation
committee have won notable victory
in the enactment of their water power
bill, which passed both houses Of the
legislature by large majortes. The
people of the whole state are to be con
graduated upon this act by their rep
resentatives in senate and assembly. If
this important law is sustained by the
supreme court, the unprecedented long
session Of 1918 will not have been in
vain.
The making Of Senator Husting,
Democrat, chairman Of the conserva p
ton committee was gracious act on
the part Of the Republican majority in
the senate And right well has he
fulfilled the trust reposed in him
This paper has for years watched and
admired his course. In the senate, in
Democratic state conventions and on
the stump, he has struggled bravely for
the best interests Of the state. He il II

The Democrat entertains the idea,
which we believe generally prevails
that the Wilson administration was not
cut out by II Republican pattern. If an
act of President Wilson or of any mem
Der of his cabinet Is right, it is right,
no matter how good man he has sue

If business disaster is only to be averted
by such underground operations as the
Mulhall letters tell us about, then let it
come, say the people, so that we may
get the light Missouri Graves which has
been too long delayed. The desire to be
shown, so that an intelligent basis for
future action may be established, is
dominant.
That is why no repetition of the
titanic tariff struggles of the past is
possible now. Whatever consequences
the fact may be fraught with, it is no
longer within the power Of anyone to
create "A scare that will avail to control
tariff legislation. The popular hope is
for speedy action that in the test of its
application may be found to advantage
the country by inspiring business and
not regarding it. Nor is there likely to
be any such sharp popular impotence

new tariff as many politicians are
counting on for their own gain Gov.
Foss among the rest. A real trying out
is what the people are looking for, and
seem TO be preparing to stand by.
