We sell many good medicines but we are told the mixture of buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc, known as Adler i-ka is the best we ever sold.

While It may not be that Missouri

Danger to the Primaries,

GREAT LESSON HERE
European War Shows Value Of
Protective Policy.
Economic Necessity In That Il Would
Make the United States industri.
ally Independent Of All For
sion Countries.

The expression has been heard fire.
auently Of late that the European war.
to all intents and purposes. serves the
manufacturing industries of the United
States almost in the same manner and
degree as a protective tariff. In other
words. II the producers OF Europe are
taken from the fields and the shops
and sent to the front. there will be .
serious falling OF in the imports. leav-
ing Americans in full possession of
their own market.
Such a view 10 subject to various
qualifications. The essential factor. Of
course. is to obtain the necessary
ships. As an equivalent to the policy
OF tariff protection. a European war Ia
sadly deficient in that 1t lops OF mil
lions from the tariff revenues OF the
government. Whatever gain may &C
crue to the manufacturers is at the
expense of the treasury.
What the European war does ac-
complish, however. is the illustration
OF the economic necessity OF tariff pro-
lection at all times. The principle OF
protection was forcibly brought home
to the American people during the Ma
poleonic wars. when American states
men showed clearly that the American
public should not be placed at the
mercy of Europe. The great argu-
ment for protection at that time was
to have Industries SO firmly estab-
lished In the United States that no Eu-
ropean war could deprive us Of man
ufactured articles. The present crisis
points to the same conclusion. 1t
shows that 1t is absolutely necessary
for the United States to be made in
dustrially Independent OF foreign coun-
tries and to be brought to the point
where it can produce for itself every
thing needed by its own people.
1t has been q favorite argument with
the tarifffor-revenue-only men that
II any industry could not compete sue
cessfully with the cheap labor prod
ucts of Europe, such an industry. In
line with true economy. should be
permitted to die. II such q policy had
been followed by the United States In
the past. 1t would mean that the ma
ton would be utterly unable to sup
port itself In the present European
crisis. Even now the war will deprive
the United States of many articles,
such as chemicals used in agriculture
and manufacturing. and would like.
wise deprive the country OF many
manufactured articles, such as tex
tiles, metals. ETC.. II such industries
had not been we'll established under
the protective policy at home.
Whatever else the general war In
Europe may show, 1t cannot fail to
demonstrate not only the value. but
the absolute economic necessity Of q
protective tariff.

Return to RepublicanIsm.

In spite OF the enormous crops and
the general prosperity in the agricul-
tural districts Of the grain-growing
states, there has grown up a deep
conviction among those who aban-
doned the Republican party to follow
the leadership Of Colonel Roosevelt.
that 1t was a big mistake. At the
same time Democrats in those states
admit their supreme disappointment
with the conduct of the government
by their party. The administration
may be told by politicians with axes
to grind that the sentiment of the
country is largely with 1t, but II those
interested would send out some disin-
terested emissaries to find out from
personal contact with the voters Of
the West what the real sentiment is,
they would discover that the pros
poets at this time favor the return of
a Republican to congress from two
districts out Of three which the Re-
publicans lost four years ago.
