sou administration has been the
greatest failure in the history Of the
presidency. -
- 1The South is a land Literally low
ing with milk and honey; 1t has made
one o. the biggest and best crops In
its history. and yet because of the
utter incompetency of the men in
charge of the Government its bust
ness is FRUSTRATED. its credit is i'm
paired, and thousands of its people
are starving.
The administration tariff Law was
pledged to lower the cost OF living
and it has had the contrary effect.
BY putting raw material on the rec
list and keeping the protective tar
if on manufactured goods 1t has con-
demned American farmers by hun
dreis of thousands to peonage and
has enabled the manufactures. after
getting their raw materials cheaper
to charge higher prices for their
goods, which they have done.
Hides were free listed and shoes
have gone higher. This is true Of
virtually every single item similarly
treated in the Administration Tariff
law. The American farmer gets less
for his raw materials; the American
wofkingman pays more for the fin
ished product and both are robbed

Foreign Policy ImbeciIe"
The Administrators fore, pol
Icy has been imbecile. II has al
lowed England to dictate conditions
~ to cotton shipments to European
countries that enabled English spin
ners to rob lthe American cotton
growers of half the value OF their
crop. England stopped American
shipments until the English spinners
had bought their supply at s " cents
a pound and stored it in Texas and
Then England consented to de-
clare cotton not contraband and
France followed suit day or two
later. Our Government weakly sub
mitted to England's dictation play
ing into the hands of the English
spinne-s and betraying the Ameri-
can cotton growers as completely as
il this country were an English vas
sal state.
II ! had been President would
havs served notice on England pre-.
mier that our foreign trade in1cot-
ton ana other noncontraband com-
modities was going forward with u
without England's consent, and, 4
necessary. would have sent Ame
can ironclads to England's door
enforce that notice. Isl
Panama Tolls Repeal.
The Administrator repeal of the
Panam ma Tolls Exemption Law in vio-l
lstion of the party's national plA 4
form was another weak surrender \ :,
England. IL free tolls for America
ships had not been repealed, hun
dreds of American-owned ships fly
ms a foreign flag would have come
sAader the American flag to get the
benefit of the exemption and We
would today have an American mer-
chant marine competent to carry our
goods to foreign markets. We have
no such merchant marine and to sup
ply il the Wilson Administration Is
to spend the taxpayers money buying
a subsidized national shipping serv-
ice
The Wilson Bryan management OF
the Mexican affair has been an eyre
gious failure. They landed an Am
eric N army in Vera Cruz to force
Huerta to salute the flag and have
brol ght It back without getting the
salute. They now ask Congress to
Appropriate more than 100000 to
pay the expenses of the ridiculous ex-
ped.tion. For what did 1t accomp-
Iish!
II set all Mexico afiame agtnst the
Americans. not only In Mexico. but
in Texas. where all along the north
bank OF the Rio Grande there are
ten Mexicans to one American. It
brought on reign of terror all along
the Texas border. so that when the
