Rumor has u Ina the President Is
going to before long a slight
chang OF heart that will shock that
element OF his party which endorses

the President II getting ready TO in
wade the citadel OF Republlcanism ana
take away some Of the protective tarfn
n that that party has enjoyed Tor
many years.
The story goes that the President
sees that the end OF the European war
mean that the tariff question Is go
ing TO be OF greater paramountcy .
II has been for many years. The big
business men OF the country see a..
and very clearly. and the President
sees IL just as plainly as they.
IL In said that such men as J. A..
Morgan. Mr.. Vanderlip OF the National
City Bank. George y. Baker OF the
first National and Mr.. Cannon OF the
Fourth National are thinking now
what II TO happen after the war Is
over. And II II a serious problem. II

two years TO hgure how the United
states II 20 come out.
To Get IL Back
IL In all right, ine and dandy. while
the war lasts. But that flow Of coin
from across the pond Is going to stop

Then. these big business men will see
that the foreigners will want their
money back. and they viii set about
getting IL back by the only means
they have at hand. They will start
TO Manufacture for American mar
kets. They will be- able TO employ
abor cheaper han ever known, and
the tariff walls being down I'M this
county. there will be such an under
selling campaign from abroad as no
one OF the present generation can re-
member.
Well. the men who control the big
sums OF money hat have come to this
country do not propose to allow them
TO get away II they can help f. And
the FIRST step In the direction OF pre-
vention will be to take the admins
tration OF the government away from
the Democrats and turn II over TO the
Republicans. who Will restore the
tariff walls. build a big dam and con
serve the waters. Not the old Chin
csc wall tariff. but a tariff that will
prevent Europe from shredding us.

everything we have.
And they are asking around here:
Does the President see IL. Does he
'savvy'? VIII he do II? Is he or not
two or three jumps ahead OF the rest
OF his party who have been raised
around the plantation freside, read
