POSITION OF A PROGRESSIVE

The sane and reasonable faith of
the Progressive voter is we'll expressed
in the public statement of one of the
original members of that party in
massachusetts,. and its candidate for
member of the State Senate only last
Fall He has just issued letter to
his fellow Progressives, calling upon
them to support the Republican ticket
at the coming election.
"I am no longer willing" he says in
this appeal, ito be party to aid
Democratic success. The present
hour calls for choice direct between
the Republican and Democratic par
ties. I have therefore decided to
support every nominee of the Repub-
lican party. and suggest to my friends
that careful Investigation and study
will convince them that it is our wis
est course"
In that statement is embodied the
whole situation. The duty of the pro-
gressive is plain. This fact he is real
izing all the country over and putting
the realization into action. Self-seek-
ing leaders of districts and of States
cannot turn back the tide that is each
day rising higher and moving faster.

DEMOCRATIC FOLLY

~ UR friends of the Democracy
are finding it extremely diff
~ cult, not to say impossible, to
make their campaign promises
of 1912 square with their perform
ances of 1914. They promised us a
reduction of the high cost of living
and the cost has been increasing
steadily ever since. They ffddled with
the protective tariff and put the sugar
industry of the United States out of
business, and they not only in this
way forced up the price of sugar to all
consumers, but within the year they
will have taken out of the Golfers of
the government sixty or seventy mil
lions which came into those Golfers
through the duty on sugar. That is
the Democratic idea of how to reduce
the cost of living.
Nor is that all. The Wilsonian
dynasty took over a government that
was not only solvent, but had a COM
Portable surplus of many millions.
Our receipts largely exceeded our ex-
penditures, but in a few months all
this has been changed. Instead of a
surplus, we now have q deficit, and
instead of about s240, 200, 900 of Pan
ANA Canal bonds resting in the treas
ury, so to speak, having been unsold
because the prosperity of the country
made their sale unnecessary, we are
now up to the point of issuing these
bonds to make ends meet. That is
another idea of how to run the gov
ernment under the Wilson theory.
Nor will the opening of the Euro
pean ports or the ports of foreign
nations generally do us any material
good from the standpoint of revenue
Free trade means no income from the
fellow beyond our borders. He can
send all his stuff in without let or hin

drance and instead of paying Uncle
manufacturers to close their shops
and mills while he unloads some mil
lions of dollars worth of his own
products on our counters. It's a fine
scheme of government, but free trade
was inevitable under Democratic rule,
and we are reaping the benefit of
theoretical administration.
But the sugar planters of the United
States were told, when they protested
on their knees against the repeal of
the protective tariff, that their plants,
worth untold millions. should be
thrown on the junk heap for the good
of the world, and that they should
find some other avenue for their activ-
tiles and their genius. That is another
of the Democratic ideas of how to
do it.
OF course, the free trade Demo-
Gratis hope to escape amid the dust
of the European conflict, but those
who have eyes to see cannot have
escaped the import and export figures
of the first seven months of 1914,
which cover the period before the war
started, and these figures show con-
clusively that the imports have
swamped the exports, indicating away
up in the millions the losses to the
businessmen and the workingmen of
the United States through Democratic
folly.
