A Notably Prosperous Business.

With reports coming daily of new
failures and successive reports of less
and less prosperous business the coun-
try over, it is satisfying in some de-
gree to learn OF a business that is
flourishing as it never f1ourished be-
fore. and its prosperity may be credit
ed to the Democratic administration,
which, by the way, has been credited
with helping no other business so far
as is known. The business of legisla-
ton and litigation is highly prosperous
and will continue as long as the Demo-
cratic administration continues or any
other business remains to be legislat-
ed cut Of business. This is a highly
lucrative business-for those carrying
on the legal end of it. 1t is not,
however, for the best interests of the
country, and doubtless will not con-
tinue long.
What shall it profit man if he win
a Democratic congressman and lose
his own job.

No Room for Third Party.
portland Express. }

There is no room in this country for a
third party and never will be, because
this is a nation founded upon the prin-
cipe that the majority shall rule and
when there are three parties in the field,
the majority does not rule. The Progress
sive party has accomplished its work in
most of the states and has served its
purpose we'll. 1t has forced the Repub-
lican party to clean house" and to rid
itself of men who sought to shape its
policies for their own selfish interests.
Mr. Cummings says that the Republican
party is still the party of corruption and
of bosses and that humanity can expect
nothing from it. Probably he would be
willing to admit that there are as good
men, as honest men and men of as high
ideals, lofty purposes and as good intel
ligence In the Republican party today
as ever went out of it. Today the men
who remain loyal to the party of Lin
coin, of Blaine, Reed and Roosevelt, con-
troll the party machinery in Maine, and
are it's only bosses. They shape it's poll
cies and have been moving onward, with
steady stride and with firm purpose to
measure up to the highest standard of
human effort.

It is natural that the loss should be
greater as soon as foreign farmers
awaken to the splendid opportunity
offered by the American market. The
more they take advantage of this OPP
portunity the more the American
farmer will lose.
The only way to prevent this loss
to the American farmer is to put the
bars up again, and shut out the for
eigner. The experiment has been in Of
feet long enough to show that it does
not decrease the cost of living.
Maybe this item of 100000 month
loss through the low tariff will be
borne in mind by the American farm
er when he votes next November for
congressman who frame tariff bills.

A STOMACH TONIC

There is a form of indigestion called
atomic" dyspepsia. Atomic means
lack of tone" 1t is probably the
most common form of Indigestion but
not much is heard about it because
people are inclined to group all forms
of dyspepsia as stomach trouble" and
the doctors let it go at that.
Lack of tone in the digestive organs
means that the stomach is no longer
able to do it's work as nature intended.
The nerves that control it are weak,
the glands that supply the digestive
fluids are not working properly. Gas
on the stomach, sour risings in the
throat and constipation result. The
cause of the trouble is thin blood.
Stomach, nerves and glands are all de-
pendent on the blood and when it gets
thin and watery they are at once

The Farmer Loses.

The Washington Post an indepen-
dent newspaper, in advising its readers
concerning their best course in next
November election, gives an array of
stood and should be needed by Maine
men who vote in September.
In the ten months ended April, 1914
the value of foreign foodstuffs imported
into the United States increased $780,,
100000, or 100000 a month. This
money, which should have gone to the
American farmer, went to foreign
farmers.
In the same period the exports of
American foodstuffs decreased S64. 49,
900, or $780, 900 a month.
The adverse balance against the
American farmer. so far as dealings
with the outside world are concerned
is $3.50 600 in ten months
During the ten months ended April,
1914, there were imported 20,O5S, 99S
bushels of oats, as against 714,767
bushels imported during the same pc
Rod ended April, 1918. Comparing the
same periods, there were imported
1,s54,054 bushels of wheat, against
1885, 1928; other breadstuffs, s2,602 952.
against s1,S62,s3O: fruits, S26,155 1853
against s21.635,3s2; nuts $722,217

The importation of eggs during the
ten months ended April. 1914, amount
ed to 5,o43,7s5 DOZENS valued at s1,0oo,-
600.
These are staples produced by Amer
lean farms, orchards, and gardens. The
new tariff reduces the duty upon these
articles and opens the market to for
eign farmers. The foreigner has seiz-
ed this opportunity and is now making
100000 a month which formerly went
TO the American farmer.
The consumer gets no benefit from
this tariff reduction. The price has
not gone down on a single article men
toned. The high tariff formerly kept
the foreigner out and gave this bust
ness to the American farmer. The
new tariff throws the business to the
foreign farmer, who, with the middle
man, pockets the benefit. and the con-
sumner pays as much as he did before.
The only loser is the American farmer
This loss of 100000 month COW
.ers only ten months Of the new tariff.

A Pretense and the Facts.

The Waterville Sentinel in an able
editorial on tariff declares that while
the prices of beef are now at hlgh
water mark they would have been
higher but for the tariff reduction and
imports of Argentine beef. The Senu-
nel's logic" is mastery, particularly TO
those who have been carefully fol-
lowing prices in the last year, daily
hoping to see that promised reduction
in the high cost of living. The Senu-
ners argument requires no answer
consumers know-but at hand we have
few figures for its consumption.
Results of an inquiry which Repre-
sentative Charles H. Sloan of Ne
braska, has been making into the prices
of farm implements has been an
noupced. Mr.. Sloan's statement
shows that there has been an advance
of price to the retailer during the
twelve months preceding June in
farm wagons, plows, disc harrows and
grain drills, and a tendency to adj
vance in windmills, pumps and similar
farm appliances. The prices quoted
are those of the international Harvest
er Company, based F. o. B. cars
Chicago. These quotations show there
has been a marked increase in the
prices of rakes, tedders and wagons.
The more important result of this
investigation, however, is the state
ment that binding Irvine has increased
in price. Congressman Sloan shows
that pure Manila Irvine has gone from
nine and three-e ighths cents in 1912
tc thirteen and hree-quarters cents in
1914, and that Manila Irvine has gone
from eight and one-quarter cents to
eleven cents, and other brands from
seven and one quarter cents to nine
cents.
Mr.. Sloan makes this statement in
connection with an answer to Repre-
sentative Cullop (Dem.) of Indiana,
whom he charges with having con
tradicted every market of the United
States" in a statement he made on the
floor of the House, June 4, to the effect
that wheat now is bringing better
price under Democratic times than it
was in 1912, under Republican rule"
Mr.. Sloan shows that there has been
an average decrease in the five princi-
pal wheat markets of the United
States of eighteen cents bushel. TAX
ing wheat prices this year and COM
pairing them with prices of two years
ago. He says that these figures were
available when Mr.. Cullop made his
statment and that he tCullop) had
no excuse in making his erroneous
statement and no object, apparently,
except to deceive the farmers who
have been the most harshly used of all
the people of the United States in the

The Great lam RIGHT.

President Wilson in charging con-
spiracy on the part of business men
who do not believe in his free-trade
policies shows that he is far too in
tolerant of the views of thousands of
men as wise as he, far too intolerant
for the highest-paid servant of the
nation. Says the Boston Herald: Mr..
President, do not forget that a great
many people can agree in believing a
policy ill-advised, without its being
wicked for them to do So" A man so

able of being in error is not a fit man
