How TO Restore Prosperity.

If the party in power wants to
restore national prosperity. let it lead
to constructive work by sweeping aw-
ay many of the harassing restric-
tons of business for which it, as well
as the Republican party, is response

Willingness to admit mistakes and to
overcome them by a reversal of some
of the plumbers committed in destroy
ing the sugar industry and injuring
others by Free-Trade tendencies,
there would quickly come prosperity
to the cotton growers of the South,
to the sugar producers of Louisiana
and the West, to every factory in the
land. to the railroads and to every
industrial and business interest of
our country.-Bay City (Mich.) Ma
tional Farmer.

have something like 100000 sent
from ohio county to distant cities
every year. This is serious mat
ter. Our merchants should take no
tice and see II the fault lies with
them. Sears. Roebuck & Co., recent
ly declared a dividend of so per cent,
indicating that they make profit
on what they sell. DO our merchants
handle what the people want, at a
reasonable profit and do they adver-
tise in the most attractive way?
Many of them do not advertise at all.
IT is only a question of time when
the mail order houses will get those
who do not. AS we have often said
IL is suicide to starve our own mer-
chants. but they should let the people
have a knowledge of what they
handle and their prices. They may
be sure the mail order houses are
doing this. We would regret to see
the day when we would have no
country merchants. but that is what
we are drifting toward. All cities
and no small towns. These vast
sums of money sent away would dis
charge many obligations, II kept at
home through our own merchants,

one way in which that taxation may
be laid which will be OF benefit. and
that is to restore or practically to
restore the Payne tariff bill. This
is said in no partisan sense. 1t is
plain truth. We cannot keep on at
the rate We are going without meet
ing disaster.
IF Congress, in a spirit of def
ance, shall simply wait until fall and

In this issue of The Republican
appears an announcement of Hon.
G. B. Likens, who is asking the Dem
,scrstic nomination for Secretary of
State. Mr.. Likens is too well known
to most of our readers for US to be
able to add anything to his splendid
reputation. He is a self-made man,
honest. faithful to every trust and
40 honor to Ohio county, his native
heath. The Democratic party could
end no more deserving or better
equipped man for this nomination,
ard having faced him in many hard
political contests. We think we can
estimate his fighting abilities. The
highest compliment we could pay
him. In this regard. is to say that we

is but half the deficit in the Postal
revenues. Probably the war taxes
will pick up some, but the liquor and
tobacco receipts are more likely to
decline than increase.
1T must be remembered that the
war taxes expire by limitation on
January l next. and thus will cover
only one-half of the fiscal year, while
in the following March sugar will 60
on the free list instead of paying a
small duty as now. This will give
six months of no war tax and four
months of no sugar tax and in spite
of this the appropriations now being
made for the next fiscal year are GER
tain to be at the maximum. Against
this constantly increasing deficit
there is a nominal net balance in the
general fund of $47,0O0,000. but this
is largely composed of fractional cur
rency, copper nickel and minor silver
coins, silver bullion and silver dol
lars. The Treasury Department has
always considered that $50. 900 200
was the lowest limit OF safety under
these circumstances. That limit Is
already passed.
I'm view OF these Official figures
it must be insisted that the admins
tration has made and Is making a
sad mess of our national budget.
From the very beginning its policy
has been to decrease the normal rev.
enues by attacking American indus
try thru tariff reductions and to in
crease expenditures for every posi-
BILE purpose. It's sole constructive
measure Of financial character has
been to lay a war tax in times of
profound peace and even this has not
produced anything like the sum ex-
pected.
"Yet we are within a few days Of
the end of the session and with the
deficit staring us in the face no meas
ures are offered either to increase
revenue or to decrease expenses A

No Possible Excuse for II.


What possible excuse is there for
a Democratic Tariff commission? The
thing is absolutely inconsistent with
the Democratic position on the Tar
III, if Protection as the Baltimore
platform declared. is unjust. immor-
al, unconstitutional, unwise, the
mother of monopoly and the cause
of the high cost of living. what light
can an investigation into the compar-
alive cost of production at home and
abroad throw on the subject? II the
object of Tariff revision is the re-
duction of prices by an increase in
importations, then the discovery that
articles can be produced more cheap
ly abroad than at home only throws
in stronger light the blessedness of
Free-Trade. The existence or the ex-
tinc.iOn of an American industry has
nothing to do with the case. What
reply was made to the Louisiana
sugar men who pleaded that free
sugar meant the ruin of an industry ?
Simply, as stated by Senator John
Sharp Williams, that IL an American
industry couldn't live without Pro-
lection, then it ought to die. There
isn't much room for the verdict of
a Tariff commission as to production
cost at home and abroad in such a
scheme of Tariff making as that, is
there?
The truth is, of course, that a lot
of weakened Democrats, represent
ing districts that are certain to un-
seat them at the next election be-
cause of the injury inflicted by the
Underwood bill, are ready to deny
their faith and embrace the Protec-
tive policy to save their own scalps.
But when they do that, they ought
to come right on over into the party
that stands now, and always has
stood for Protection.
Being wrong on the Tariff question
doesn't worry these Democratic Con-
gressmen, but the thought of what
is going to happen to them next year
is quite unpleasant. They cannot
blind the people at this stage of the
game by any Tariff commission
dodge. They assailed Protection.
they enacted a Tariff for revenue
measure. the usual results have fol-
lowed. and these misguided politici-
ans ought to sit still and take their
medicine.-National Republican.

Referring TO an editorial in this
paper in which we charged that the
farmers did not get enough for their
wheat last year and that there is now
no excuse for the high price of flour
as very little wheat had been export
ed, The Louisville Herald Says: But
we did not know that there was a
newspaper or farmer in the State
who was so i'll informed as to be
lieve that very little wheat had been
exported" The Herald then attempts
to show that the opposite is true by
quoting the amount sent abroad for
seven monhs ending Jan. /. Well,
We stick to our proposition notwith-
standing the Herald's showing. 1t is
known by those not sill informed"
that very much of the exports of
wheat for the time mentioned was
from the 1913 crop. Why, only the
day before the Herald made this
plea, it published the testimony of
Letter, the greatest of all wheat
gamblers, that the farmers were to
blame for the high price of wheat.
The Herald should agree with those
for whom it would apologize. If the
farmer has still got the wheat and
holding it with the prices around ST.
60 bushel, thus keeping up prices,
as Letter claims, of course it has not
been exported in sufficient quantities
to cause the almost prohibitive prices
in -four. Neither contention is
true. American wheat is now in the
hands of the great millers, Eleva-
tor men and Spectators and it was
bought from the farmers at from
81 cents to 70 cents per bushel. When
flour, made from this same wheat, is
sold to the consumer at IS. to $40.
a barrel, he is being robbed. and
some one is being enriched to the
tune of millions without having fair
ly earned it. There ought to be pow
er some where to stop this kind OF
business. Will The Herald, which
poses as friend to the common
people, help us find the trouble and
stand for the correction of a condi-
ton which permits the speculator to
squeeze the farmer out of his wheat
at 81 cents a bushel, only to sell il
back to him in flour at $40. bar.

POSSUM HUNTERS
ARE SURPRISED
Six Masked Men Caught In
Act In Hardin
County.

Elizabethtown. KY, March q
Six masked men wer surprised by
officers last night as they were in the
act of whipping Richard Smothers,
who lives in the outskirts of the city,
but no arrests were made, though the
matter has been reported to the
grand grand jury, the officers having
recognized all the men involved in
the attack.
Smothers recently moved into the
neighborhood and for some unknown
reason incurred the enmity of some
of the residents of his immediate sec
ton.
Yesterday he received a warning
that band of men would visit his
house at night to whip him unless he
left town. Smothers reported the
matter to the officers, who went to
his house. arriving there about the
same time that the band of masked
men arrived. The officers jerked the
masks from the faces of the assail-
ants and took the names of all those
involved, but made no arrests.
One or two of the officers were in
clined to think the affair was a Joke
merely intended to brighten Smoth-
ers. but he insists he was hit on the
head with a broomstick, and a club
was found under the coat of one
member of the attacking party.

mine days" said The Inquirer,
"are left in which Congress is ex-
pected to appropriate One Billion
Dollars for governmental expenses
during the fiscal year beginning July
next. A considerable portion of
this sum will be wasted, a larger sum
will represent extravaganza and the
rest will be essential. Under ordi-
nary circumstances the country could
stand such folly. but it becomes
painfully evident that the money is
not in sight at present. During eight
months Of this fiscal year we have
run behind ordinary receipts to the
amount of .$S2.000,000, not includ-
ing expenses for the Panama Canal
and payment of the interest on public
debt. These items bring up the total
deficit to more than $100.000.000,
while the Postal department is about
$40. 100000 behind. Thus with one
third of the year ahead of US we are

felt will be more than $180,0O0.0O0.

poration taxes payable before June

these items would bring in $4,000

the well paid miners of this district
would be in direct competition with
the peon labor of Mexico, for the I'm
derwood bill opened the way for i'm
portation Of both lead and zinc, the
two main products of the Occur d.
Alenes. The effect of such importa-
tons would be one OF two things
either a reduction of wages or a sus-
pension of mining operations. The
prolonged revolution alone has saved
ps and II is now believed a Republic
can administration will be in control
before anything approaching normal
operations can be restored in Mexico.
AS to the European war, II has not
only saved the country from pos
sible influx OF lead and zinc from
Europe, but 1t has created a suspen-
sion of mining and smelling opera
lions in European countries, particu-
larry in Belgium and Germany. Thus
has fate interviewed in our behalf and
lessened to some extent the damag
ing effect of Democratic Free-Trade.
For be it understood that the domes-
tic demand for spelter and lead has
nothing to do with the present high
price of the former and the fair price
that has been maintained for the lat
ter. 1t is the foreign market either
