one Of the most ridiculous pleas they
are making just now is that the hands
the hands Of the President should be
upheld so the United States may not
become involved in war.
The Democrats preach that the
nation has confdenc in the Presi-
dent and that the only way to clinch
this confidence is to vote for the
Democratic candidates, who, how
ever, have yet to explain how their
'psychlogical' industrial depression,
which, they say, exists only in the
minds Of the people, has thrown
million men out Of employment and
closed down mills and factories. The
Democrats openly are trying to make

obtain a salute which has not been fred

II this Democratic candidate is
talking about the European war, bow
could this nation possibly be involved,
removed at it is three thousand miles
from the conflict We have no
grievances with the foreign nations,
nor they with US, ana il don't
take any very great amonnt Of
diplomacy on the part Of Of Mr..
Bryan to impress this upon the Pow
ers Of Europe. The real diplomacy
today lies with such nations as Switz
erland, Holland. Spain, Itlay and
and China to maintain their neutrality.
But back Of all this and here is
the secret to the war situation so far
as the United States is ccncerned-is
the fact that the people OF this nation
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1914-10-08

have not wanted and do not want war.
Any move toward war would be op-
posed almost unanimously by the
people Of the United States unless
some fragrant imposition wese pressed
upon the country which would arouse
its citizens sense Of injustice. No
such condition exists, nor has existed.
And this leads US to a discussion of
the Mexican situation.
What has the Democrytic candi-
date TO say about the Mexican policy
Of his part51 He claims that the
policy Of "Watchful waiting" has
saved this nation from a long and
bloody war with Mexico. He pro-
claims that "Watchfal Waiting Wins"

hobby horse. The fact is that
the sentiment Of the big ma.
jority Of the people Of this
nation was against war with Mexico

War and the Democrats

("But you can't fool all the people all the
timeml.
The 1914 Democratic campaign in
Missouri is solely campaign for
sympathy for the mistakes which the
party has made during the last two
years. Every Democratic candidate,
from United States Senator down to
constable 10 making bis race, not on bis
merits, but is asking the electors TO
to vote for him in order to uphold

feeling OF the Democratic leaders
themselves was expressed at the
Democratic state convention at Jef-
ferson City last August BY former
Governor A. M. Dockery, the mouth
piece Of the Administration in the re-
cent Maine election, when he said:
Il would not give the life Of one
Missouri boy for all the 'greasers' in
Mexico"
When the Democratic candidate
tiles TO make political capital out of
the Mexican affair OF the European
war, for himself or his party, he does
it By distortion, by Misrepresentation,
BY sophistry. He is attempting to
deceive the voters into believing that
his party policies have saved the
nation from war and that, therefore,
confidence in the administration is
supreme. He fails to say the public
sentiment, not w. J. Bryan, has pre-.
vented war. Do not be deceived,

Blowing Hot and Cold

When the Underwood Tariff Bill
passed the House Of Representatives,
it provided for tariff of l0c a bushel
on wheat. Every Democratic Con-
gressman from Missouri voted for this
tariff without discussion or protest.
When the same bill was finally passed,
wheat was placed on the free list and
every Democratic Congressman from
Missouri voted for this without discus
sion or protest. And this strange
action, on the part OF the Democratic
delegation in Congress with respect
to wheat, is true Of many OF the other
products Of the farm.
Where do those Missouri Demo
Gratis stand on the question Of pro.
lection to the farmers products? In
one session Of Congress, during
consideration Of one bill, they have
voted on both sides Of the question.
II they favor a tariff on wheat, as
their first vote indicates, why put
wheat on the free list? II
in favor of free wheat, why put
a tariff on it2 In casting those votes
did the Missouri Delegation vote
their own convictions, were they
looking after the interest Of their
constituents, or were they simply
obeying the commands OF a political
machine2 How do they themselves
stand, and il they are returned 10
Congress, how will they vote on this
question when it again presents itself?
That the overwhelming Democratic
majority in Congress will disappear at
the coming election, is nowhere
doubted. The next congress will be
close and few votes may turn the
scale.
Before the Missouri farmer casts
his vote this fall let him demand
that these inconsistent votes Of
the Missouri Democrats in Congress
be explained, and let him vote for
representative in Congress who has
convictions and will vote them, rather
than for one, who for political pre-
ference, plays fast and loose with the
interest OF his constituents.

lation has built il up. The 1912 pro-
duction Of sugar in Louisiana amount
ed to 707, $4,000 pounds, while in
1913, with the blight OF free trade
over it, the production fell to 324,-
100000 pounds, by far the lowest
production known 10 quarter century.
The plea is made by Democracy
that free sugar will reduce its cost,
but what is there to justify this claim?
Destroying our production our pro-
duction, which now amounts TO nearly
one lourth Of our consumption, will
reduce the worlds supply by that
much. With but one exception, we
have had for years the cheapest
sugar in the world; and when we are
dependent upon foreign production
for our needs, when the cost Of
freight from abroad is added, and
when through the importation Of the
sugar we are placed at the tender
mercies Of the criminal sugar refners
trust, the experiment of free sugar will
be found an expensive one.
Better develop the industry rather than
destroy it, keep at home the hundred |
million dollars we annually send |
abroad for sugar and make ourselves
Of fhe world for the ne.
:essities Of life. The European War
and the outrageous recent rise in the
price Of sugar is a splendid indication
If what we will experience when we

The Drain on Our Gold

The quick response Of the banks o
the country in supplying their part o
the immense gold pool for settlement
Of European balances unquestionably
had good effect on business circles
throughout. the world. !. 1t wass.,a strik,
ing manifestation Otsathe abilityeeand
spirit Of America. But dispatches de:
note the surprise Of the Federal Reserve
Board at the failure Of the 100000,
900 gold pool to keep down the rate oI
foreign exchange. An investigation
by it showed that the demand fol
foreign exchange had suddenly devel-
oped in much greater volume than
had been anticipated" "aa!It was found
that hundreds Of business men were
demanding exchange to satisfy com
mitments due to-day, although they
had failed to make their wants known
when the bankers were gathering data
on which to determine the size of the
gold pool. A large importation Of
hosiery was among the incidents which
gave concern.
Mr.. Mann in his speech on the war
tax gave the reason Tor this drain on
our gold supply. He showed that the
imports for the seven months ending
July 81 had increased 1921, ,944,698
over the same period in 1918, while
the exports had fallen Of $26, ,290,975.
This made a change against US Of
$248,235,673. The character OF both
imports and exports was more signif'
cant still. During the period there
was decrease Of $26, ,960,647 in i'm
ports Of manufactures for further use
in manufacturing, practically raw ma
terial, while there was an increase Of
$50, ,261,672 in imports of manutac-
tured articles ready for consumption.
There was an increase OF l9,818,421
in exports of crude materials for use
in manufacturing. 1t is easy to see
from these figures whom the tariff has
helped. Foreign factories have reaped
the benefit Of the new tariff.
The reference TO the large hosiery
shipment shows that there has been
no change in the trend noted in July,
In July the imports Of stockings were
As per cent more than in July, 1918.
Other knit goods showed an increase
Of 2l20 per cent. Wool, class /, in.
creased 73l per cent, while wool, class
Q, increased SOB per cent. Dress
goods increased 201 per cent. Cotton
cloths increased % per cent. Wear
ing apparel increased 90 per cent.
The increases in imports Of the usual
twenty articles taken as a basis for
comparisons for the various months,
compared with the corresponding
months Of the preceding year, were
as follows: December, $40 per cent;
January, 58.7; February, 64.2; March,
7l.9; April, Ola; May, "a; June, IS;
July, 96. In the light Of these enor-
nous increases in imports and the
great Shrinkage in exports, there is
nothing remarkable in the fact that
there is an unusual drain ON our gold
supply. While some Of the drain may
be accounted for by the turning back
Of our securities, the trade figures can
not be ignored. We are continually
buying more abroad and in addition
10 loss Of home business our export
business is also dwindling.- Globe

TO MEET IN OcAlA



the Marion County Board Of Trade
rooms Saturday afternoon was a
most enthusiastic one. After hear
ing talks from a number Of the
largest shippers the following resolu-
ton was introduced and adopted:
*'Wheeras, The present express
rates on vegetables. effective Febru
airy 1st, 1914, are prohibitiye and
will practically put the small produc-
er and shipper out OF business;
Whereas, The present express
become alarmed as We are preparing
TO handle this with the Armour lines
and the railroad companies, who viii
no doubt make the necessary ar
rangements to use iced refrigerators
to take care OF all these shipments;
Whereas, By patronizing the fast
freight lines, with privilege of pick
up cars, this will enable our produc-
ers TO ship all their cucumbers,
beans, tomatoes and, in fact, all pro-
ducts by freight, using the iced re
frigerators making practically as
good time as heretofore by express,
ami at far less rates; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Marion Coun-
ty Board of Trade urge the coopera-
ton of every grower and shipper
throughout the state OF Florida to
