Men of Principle and Merit

The Republican candidates stand
for principle and on their own merits.
They stand for highest efficiency in
administering government affairs.
The congressional candidates rep
resent a movement leading to the re-
turn of prosperity. They stand for
an economical administration of ma
tional affairs and are progressive
both in spirit and in deed. They are
unaltera.bly opposed to such prodigate
extravaganza as the present Demo-
cratic Congress has engaged in. They
are bitterly opposed to a war tax in
time OF peace. They adhere to the
principle that the tariff should defray
government expenditure and that d.
rect taxes for the support OF the ma
tional government should not be lev
ed upon the people. They condemn
the war tax They advocate pfotec-
ton of American labor and want the
industries of this country to resume
one ration in FULL They represent the
political party that has made this
country great. They are men who

More Taxing ProbabIc.

Senator Borah, of Idaho, is no
mans fool and when he made the
sensational charge not long ago in
the United States Senate that the
Democrats would be forced to pass
another revenue bill in the near fu-
ture imposing further taxes in addi-
ton to those of the war" tax bill.

which are a drain upon the sub
stance of the people," he openly de-
clared, and produced the data to
bear out his statement, that more
Offices were created and more sal
aries provided by the Democratic
Congress in the last eighteen months
than in any three years before.
The senator produced figures to
show that no Offices had been abol-
ished. You could trust the Demo-
Gratis for looking to that. The treas
Jury department, Senator Borah
pointed out, had had 35s Offices
added to its list. while in the field

a SHY Charee,,

So SOIuS OF the 4(SmOCTdtlC SP6aAulAu-
ers have the effrontery to allege that
while number of iron and steel
mills have been closed down it has
been for campaign effect and that
generally the industry is in rather
good shape. Cold facts however. do
not bear out this assertion
The largest single factor in the
iron and steel business is the United
States Steel Corporation and the exact
condition of this business cannot be
shown better than by the untitled or
ders by this company each month of
the year.
On January 81. 1913. preceding the
passage OF the Underwood-Simmon
tariff bill, the United States Steel
Cooperation reported untitled orders
amounting to 1, 827.36s tons From
that day untilthe persent time orders
! of this great corporation have gone
steadily downward until today they
are less than SO per cent. OF the
amount they were on January 81.

The Pittsburg Steel Company sew

dends because for the year ended
June 80, 1914 (before the war; ,

Democratic tariff, its net earnings
were but $550,0Oo. This is less than
one-half what they were the previous

tariff, when the amount was 81, no.
743, and the falling off is due to the
lowest prices in fifteen years. The
Cambria Steel Company recently de-
clared scrip dividend, due in two
years, and reported to stockholders
that for eight months ended Septem-

the history of the company.

concerns were losing money and or

charge that plants here and there are
closing down on the eve Of an election

dovetail with actual conditions.
charges, the cold, hard facts remain
that all of the big steel and iron
plants that ran, to full capacity dur

running either about half time or
have been closed altogether under

The Democratic press is trying to
explain the war tax but it does
not explain. The reason for that tax
can be given in very few words.
that is to say, it is a tax to make up
a deficit in the federal treasury
caused by the Democratic tariff even
months before the war began. That
is all there is to it and the attempt
to explain it in other ways is a mere
waste of words.
