A Confession .

Prof. Henry G. Emery, of Yale, who
was chairman of the last tariff COM
mission, while on short visit at his
old home in Ellsworth last week,
made confession.
SIT is the generally accepted
theory" he said, "that when you re-
duce the tariff, you reduce the price
to consumers, and when you raise the
tariff you raise the price. That seems
logical, but it doesn't work out. You
can reduce the tariff without helping
the consumer, but not without hurting
the producer. 1t was pretty hard
conclusion for me to arrive at, but j
had to come to it.
"The matter finds it's explanation
in the fact that there are two prices
the producers price and the price to
consumers. Take the matter of cot
tons. There are certain standard
prices-say Is cents, 10 cents and 25
cents. You take of one cent from
the tariff and you ruin the manufac-
turer, hut the consumer doesn't buy
his cottons for "a cents. He simply
pays IS cents for English cottons in
stead of 25 cents for American
cottons."
Here is the tariff in nutshell and
from a tariff expert, who admits that
he was convinced against his will, his
previously formed convictions being
upset by his extensive Investigations
as head of the national tariff board
1t is the best and briefest presenta-
ton of the whole tariff proposition
that we have ever heard.

Newspapers in various parts of the
consistency of the attitude of Col.
Roosevelt in favoring fusion In New
York and opposing it in Maine. ain
Maine more than in any other New
England state" says the Boston
Transcript, ga republican and pro-
gressive fusion campaign was wholly
logical, and had Col. Roosevelt been
better advised, would ksve been
adopted" This is of course true. In
Maine Col. Roosevelt has made the
mistake of taking his information
from one source alone. The pro-
gressive element, the So called Roose-
welt men, were in complete control Of
the republican party machine in
Maine, and had they all remained
with the party, they could not only
have dictated its policies, but could
have wiped out the last vestige of
democratic control. Despite the
desertion of some of the progressives,
the progressive element is stillin con-
troll of the republican party in Maine,
and it should and probably will tri-
.umph at the coming election. But If
there is an element of doubt, it Is
created by those who, to satisfy GER
tain ambitions of their own, have in
sisted that there should be no union
of the progressive forces in Maine. 1t
would have taken only little inquiry
on Col. Roosevelt's part to have
learned the truth of the situation in
this State.-Porttdnd Press.

In the face of the greatest financial
panic the country has ever known,
the democratic party in Congress had
to turn back to the republican cur
rency law to avert financial disaster.
Never, perhaps, did a great party in
complete control of all branches of
government ever eat such humble pie
as did the democrats when, to save
the country from panic, they asked
Congress to use the terms of the
Vreeland- Aldrich currency bill, which
they have 30 bitterly attacked yet SO
generously copied in their own bill.

liant statesman, untrammelled by
bosses, himself claiming no undue in
fiuence, and truly a loyal servant OF
and for Maine.
welt that Congressman Peters is re-
dictionary, and Colonel Roosevelt in
his recent side-stepping statement in
regard to endorsement of republicans
in Maine has said that he can work
with republicans who refuse to sup
port such men as Peters.
How can true patriot refuse to
support Mr.. Peters? He is the best
that Maine can boast; he can repre-
sent the third district nobly and far
better than any other candidate in
view. Politically he is absolutely
clean, and to refuse support to him
could mean nothing less than choos-
ing one less worthy, less able, and less
capable of winning.
Col. Roosevelt, who Endorses Mr..
Hinman and rejects Mr.. Peters, must
be guided not by his own knowledge
but by the false information given him
by the self styled leaders of the pro-
gressive party of Maine. The great
mass of Maine men who believe in
Roosevelt would not have misled him
in regard to Mr.. Peters; they would
have told him the truth.
Colonel Roosevelt says he cannot
agree with men who support Barnes.
Barnes is not an issue in Maine; we
are not asked either to accept or re-
ject him. In Maine we have State
chairman wholly unlike Barnes; a
man who is so far from being a boss
that he is recognized as party SER
want and does the bidding of party
upon which he never forces his will.
There is not a political party officer
in the country more free from entan-
clements than is Chairman Parkhurs.
of the republican State committee of
Maine. Under his leadership the
affairs of organization and campaign
ing are administered by patriots
hand, loyal, untiring and absolutely
clean. The party organization in
Maine under bis guidance is both
notably strong and efficient and clean
and wholesome. The most liberal
man in the ranks can find no chance
to complain that his word is not heard
and his wishes are ignored.
Why quarrel about a Barnes in New
York state whom We have never seen,
heard, or considered, when in Maine
we have an open republican party
organization as much devoted to one
voters interest as to another's, and
always pointed toward the attain
ment of the will of the majority?

The Standard for Maine.

1t is everywhere admitted that the
main difference between the republ
can and progressive organizations in
Maine is in the preference of leaders.
There are two political organizations
in the State whose purposes are COM
mon and whose operations are in
some measure hostile. The body of
voters in both organizations could
work together happily for the COM
mon cause of Maine and the nation,
but the voters of each organization
object in more or less degree to the
leaders of the other.
What forms the basis of preference
in the decision of each voter in choos-
ing the leaders whom he wishes to
work with and thereafter the party or
ganization with which he will be af-
fliated? What is the standard of
craftsmanship for Maine?
Republicans and progressives alike
cheer the name of James G.. Blaine,
greater than whom Maine has never
had, and it is safe to declare that he
can be accepted as a standard for
Maine craftsmanship. In speaking of
party formation, Blaine once said:
-''Great parties never come by
whereas and a rule. Parties cannot
be improvised or extemporized. They
grow. They come from an instinct,
and the masses of the people, and are
not the product of political labor.
This undisputed political logic of
Blaine can now be applied not only
to parties but to leaders, and it can
be truthfully said: "Great leaders
never come by whereas and a rule.
Leaders cannot be improvised or ex-
temporized. They grow. They come
from an instinct, and the masses of
the people, and are not the product
of political labor"
Measure the leaders of the republi-
can and progressive organizations by
the standard of Blaine and by Blaine.
Do YOU believe that Congressman
John A. Peters, of Ellsworth, is a
political boss aud a reactionary, az
progressive leaders have given Theo-
dore Roosevelt to understand? Here
in his home city we know that he is
not. The real fault the progressives
find in Peters is that he defeated E
M. Lawrence in the special elections
in 1918.
Mr.. Peters came not by whereas
and a rule. He grew. He first en-
tered political life actively wher
urged by his neighbors and townsmer
here in Ellsworth to be candidate
for the legislature. He was not inn
provised or extemporized; he had IL
him the requirements of the states
man to a remarkable degree, and his
constituency knew him for what he
was politically worth. He grew. He
was returned to the legislature for
second time and became speaker
He grew more.
After being urged SO earnestly tina
he could not refuse, he became can
