lar vote next year. there is a man who
appeals TO us with particular force.

sutherland. We do not believe there

THAT OLD WAR cry

II is within the recollection OF the
present generation that the burden of
the Democratic cry in every campaign,
in opposing the protection policy OF
the Republican party. has been the
tariff is a tax" Although the state
ment was denied by Republicans. Il
was renewed and reiterated until many
people believed it. Now the Demo
cratic administration has dlsproved
il Protective duties were reduced or
removed. Did the consumer pay less
for his food and clothing? According
to the records Of this administration
he paid slightly more. even before
prices were affected by the war. The
fact is. therefore. as always declared
by Republicans. that the foreign pro
Queer. the importer or the middleman
Iays the tax. and. when the tariff was
reduced or removed. the foreign pro-
Queer. the importer or the middleman
put the difference in his own pocket.
The American consumer paid no less.
but the American producer lost his
job.
In the next campaign the Republi-
cans will be in fortified position TO
hurl back that parroted Democratic
slogan into the very teeth Of the par.
~. for by their own act. the Under
wood bill. the antithesis Of Republi-
can protective tariff measures. the
country is not only in default Of rev.
enues. but the Democracy was com
PEELED to infict 100000. 900 Of extra
taxes on the people and even that has
not been sufficient TO head on an ever
growing deficit Free trade has not
only been proved TO be a tax. but has
decreased the ability Of the people to
ray any taxes.

After brief residence the stranger

But for the reason that this country
Is free II Is necessary from time TO

II is necessary to make a striking dis

where is the authoritative assur-

Nor do recent events enhance
the prospect for vesung Ameri-
can interests IN China.
Coincident with the Washington
announcement OF a program for
building up AN American invest

which at one time were thought

II American capital is to be in
vested in banks and mines and
factories and mercantile business,
and the commerce resulting there
from is to become a genuine IN

have TO be treated as something
more than subjects OF information

forces the need OF definite dec

than the suggestion of a paper

paraphrased. The American cap

that he has capital Positive
presumption of his innocence or
