DANIELS PRAISES
 THE PRESIDENT IN CAMPA| SPEECH
Wilson Has Set Americans Free to Legislate Without Fear, Says Secretary
 of the Navy

Bar Iarbor, Me- September 4.-Declar- ing that President Wilson and the dem ocratic Congress had kept all platform promises, Secretary of the Navy Daniels in a campaign speech here tonight. added that the President had set America free to leeislate without fear
 Greater than the tariff law itself; greater than the currency law itself; greater than all the needed constructive legislation of the record making admin istration,'' said MT. Daniels, looms up this fact: That the people may legislate without any longer fearing that our busi- ness is going to be checked or our pros perity destroyed. The right to enact such laws as they conceive is best for them at last has been restored them.
 Under Wilson the ideals of Jeffer- sons first inaugural have been realized. Business no longer strangles government; privilege no longer holds it up on the highway and rifles it's pockets"
 MT. Daniels took up legislative meas ures successfully urged by the admin istration and said: Privilege had mobil- ized it's lobby against them with the rapidity of a European army corps. The propaganda of fear he said, was worked to the limit
 Certainly whatever else can be said, declared MT. Daniels nobody can say that either the President or Congress has drawn down upon themselves that ana. thema, the Almighty hates a quitter. On the very night the President signed the tariff bill he said, We've only taker one step and summoned the Congress to go forward with the next step-ths currency legislation. He did not pause a day or even think of quitting and that has been the record in every step oi administrative policy since the 4th oi March. 1913'

ssesssesssssssssssssssssss normal profit for the year, they will h. doing a good deal better than manx hone to do. can speak from experience ir the flour and grain business. The first half of 1914 was just about as bad as vot can imagine. Flour and grain WAS con stantiy declining and was frequently sold for little or no profit: so in striking tie average We have to accept declines and take advances.
 Another situation that we will have to contend with. is that 1t is very like ly that when the present war is over that declines will come about as fast as advances have at this time It is my opinion that if the iobbers get out with an average profit they will be doing ex- ceedingly well.
 ..Sti1l another thing that has to be con sidered is the financial conditions. Ned Brace touched on this situation fin last Sundays paper and gave some fine ad- vice to the public; as you also did in an editorial in your Thursdays paper I know that the merchants appreciate both. I am in close touch with the re- tail grocery trade of the city and know that their collections are bad and many of them have been forced to pay cash for their goods and others have been forced out of business on account of bad debts and slow collections
 ''I do not want you to think that I am pessimist in making the above state- ments, but all of them reflect on the jobbers and mean losses for them. This is a time for everyody to meet their obligations promptly that the com mercial world can move along as usual. do business in a normal though conserv- ative manner, and everything will work out without great loss, and commerce can move along without being greatly disturbed"
