KEEP TIMES HARD
ThinIy Yelled Threat Made by
Tariff Grafters.
Raises the Point, Is the Prosperity OF
the Country Dependent on the
Greed of a Few Unscrupu-
lous Men7

Word is being passed In various cir
cles that the railroad rate increase,
after all, does not amount to much,
and that the factories OF this country
will not open IN full force until they
are certain of a more favorable atti-
tude" from the administration at
Washington.
Stripped of its wordy nonsense, this
means that group of tariff grafters
have determined to keep times hard
through the rest Of the Wilson admin
istration. in hope of getting Repub-
lican victory and those lovely Aldrich
schedules, with extras
Can they do it? Is the prosperity
Of this country so dependent on the
greed of q few men that these few,
for their own advantage, can say that
the whole nation shall have hard
times until 1t consents to be robbed
again, as it was robbed for the IL
years prior to the election of Wood
row Wilson?
The destruction of capital in Eu-
rope is terrible, and has a depressing
effect on industry throughout the
world But that effect has been more
than discounted already, while the
good factors in the present situation
are Just beginning to be realized.
The nation has one of the largest
crops in its history. which is being
sold at the highest prices known for
many years,
1t has a banking and currency sys-
TEN which makes panics a thing of
the past.
1t has the finest chance TO develop
a great merchant marine offered to
any land since the Napoleonic wars,
In the face OF all these circum-
stances, can a small group of tariff
grafters force hard times, in order to
force a change of government?
If they can. then all the reforms Of
the last few years are but a flea bite
compared TO the radical re0rganiza-
tion which is needed TO secure the
nations liberties The tariff grafters
had better be careful
