Facts for Voters.

In October, November and December, 1872,
under adequate protection the importation OF
potatoes into the U. S. was little less than
al 900 bushels. Under the present tariff law
the importation for the corresponding months
in 1913 was 2,880,000 bushels. More than
million dollars which should have gone into the
pockets of the American farmers were sent
abroad. Encouraged by the throwing open of
Amer lcan markets for potatoes, the foreign
acreage is to be doubled next year and there
after increased year by year.
At the same time duty of about sixty
cents bushel was put upon rice. Rice is
southern product, cultivated by negroes.
Next September the intelligent and indus
trious farmers of Maine will tell the Demo-
cratic party what they think of a sectional,
vicious and business dest -oying tariff bill.
This country cannot be filled with Australian
wool, Canadian lumber, wheat, oats, hay, pota-
toes and products of European factories, with
ont hurting the farmers, the wage earners and
tho bns;ness men Of Maine. The effects of the
Democratic tariff bill have just begun to show
themselves. Oscar Underwood. the author Of
this business-destroying tariff bill. admitted in
a speech in the house less than five weeks ago
that "there was a general depression of busi-
ness". The reason for this depression is that
we are sending millions of dollars every month
to foreign countries.
It takes from fifteen to twenty years for the
people of this country to forget that Free
Trade destroys business, takes wages from the
men willing to work and establishes free soup
houses. After we forget we vote again for
Free Trade. 1t has taken US only six months
to find out that we have made mistake.
As early as January 10th this year the Free
Trade New York Times said that, ain the
Middle States there are 100000 idle men,
with an average loss of $4,000, 900 month in
wages" This is not the utterance Of Repub-
l;can. It is the utterance of Democratic
Free Trade newspaper. Chicago has been
asked to appropriate 100000 to help it's
unemployed wage earners.
The success or failure of the tariff and other
nolicies of the President will find expression
in the vote of the people at the polls. If the
policies are upheld men will be returned to
Congress who believe in them and who will
fight for them. We have had two elections
for Congressman recently whereby the judg-
ment of the people was expressed. In the
Sc venth District Of New Jersey a Republican
was elected to Congress for the first time in
IA years. The President personally endorsed
the Democratic candidate and in his last
letter asked the people to"pass judgment upon
the present administration" The people have
done so in positive terms. repudiating the
present policy Of the Democratic party by a
vote of 2 to l. The exact return of the vote
was Druker, Republican 1O.620. O'Bryne,
Democrat 5.24o. In the 18th Massachusetts
District Democrat opposed to the President
ON the tolls repeal bill was elected. Does this

Why Do We License Saloons2

From 1890 to 1910 the insane persons in the asv-
llms OF the United States increased from 10000 to
ooo the number of criminals increased from $4,000 to
$4,000, Juvenile delnquens increased from $1,000 to
23ooo paupers increased from $4,000 to $4,000 eee-
mosynary patients increased from $4,000 to 25oooo
institutions for the insane increased from I62 to 49,
-Four per cent Of population belong to this
class OF insane, idiots feebeminded etc. and the care
OF them IS one of Our heaviest economic burdens We
are spending every year in the United States $3o,-
100000 tor the maintenance of hospitals and such in
stutons for the of these dependents We spend.
S2ooooooo for insane asylums, $2ooooooo for aims
houses, SI3oooooo for prisons, $5oooooo for feeble
minded, deaf and blind The $4,000 persons of this
class cost us yearly nearly $Iooooo,ooo.
The specialists in insane institutions estimate that
at least rs per cent of all who belong this dependent
class are what we know as alcoholics And vet our
cities and states going ahead year after year IL
censlng institutions to make dependents-Ella Wheel
er Wilcox, in Chicago American, January 49,
And in the face of such appalling statistics as
these some will answer the query, Why do we license
saloons p in these words BECAUSE THE LIQUOR
REVENUE HELPS PAY OUR TAXES"
Does it? Who pays for the maintenance of these
institutions enumerated above?
