CONDEMNED BY ITS RECORD
Cold Facts Show That Democratic
Party Is Not Deserving of the
country's Confidence.

The Democratic party in congress,
by the record. shows the largest ex-
penditure in the cOuntry's history, out
side of preparedness expense.
The Democrats lack knowledge OF
how to run the country.
They legislate and industries are
stifled and annihilated.
They kill business and give no re-
turn to the masses of the people.
They increase prices to the con-
sumner and destroy, or at least lessen,
his chance of making a living.
They annul S60,0O0,000 or more an
nual revenue on sugar and at the same
time increase its price to the con-
sumner, and allow the sugar interests
to buy ahead and make larger profits
and then afterward reverse their ac-
ton.
Vera Cruz fizzles, Mexican mud
dies and frenzied craftsmanship cry
TO heaven.

Der in the White House and in con-
gress will be the salvation of these

cause for Democratic pismay.

1t is amusing as well as Interesting
to note the concern of Democratic
newspapers over what they are pleased
to call the assassination of the Moose
party. the fact being that the party,
what there was left of 1t, decided by
the overwhelming vote of its duly con-
stituted representatives to return to
the Republican party, from which 1t
had seeded four years ago. There is
occasion for dismay in Democratic cir
Giles, it must be adlGitted-not on ac-
count of what this foreshadows as to
the former members of the Moose
party, but as to what 1t menaces with
respect to the Democratic party and
the presidential candidate of the DEM
ocratic party, Woodrow Wilson.

AGAIN A FAILURE
Democratic Party Has Once
More Shown Indifference.
Events Must Have Convinced the
Voters That the Country viii SUIT

President Wilson's Rule.

The people have had enough of
Democratic rule once more 10 last

now In power has manifested its inetfi-
cheney to govern the country proper
ly, whether the subject is regarded in
the light of prosperity in our indus

come and the outgO balance on the
books of the treasury, or in its deal
ing with foreign nations.
When the present party went into
office it's leader, Doctor Wilson, an
nOunced with triumphant notes, with
courage based upon ignorance Of the
facts, that every act of his administra-
ton would be an open book to the
American people. He was to be like
the man who had glass window fixed
up in front of his heart In which
every beholder might read his every
thought. You would think from this
announcement of the president upon
his Inauguration, or soon after, that
the representatives of the press were
to be invited to every council he held.
including cabinet meetings. He made
another flourish of trumpets which
was repeated several times by going
before congress and reading a message
to that body very much after the fash
ion of the English monarch In his adj
dress from the throne to the house of
commons.
This promise of Mr.. Wilson has
been, like all the others he has made,
very much like thin pie crust, made
to be broken. There never was an ad-
ministration at Washington more Sc
eretive in its actions than that carried
on under the leadership of the
Princeton professor. 1t was only the
other day that Senator Stone of Mis-
souri,, otherwise known as "Gumshoe
Bill" raised a tremendous howl in
the United States senate because
some enterprising newspaper man had
become possessed of the details of
the negotiations being carried on be-
tween the administration at Washing
ton and the Danish government look

patches of islands in the West Indies
az a price just five times as high as

administration barely failed to Sc
cure possession Of these few little cab

UP 10 PEOPLE TO DECIDE
Simple Tariff Facts Which Make for
Prosperity, or Otherwise, Surely
Easy of Comprehension.

A large part Of the Republican cam
Underwood tariff, which is asserted
TO be detrimental to the interests of
labor by encouraging imports and thus
providing men in other countries with
work and wages which might be done
and paid In this country.
In order to test the accuracy of this
argument 1t is necessary TO consider
imports of finished manufactures apart
from imports of raw materials, since
the working up of the latter provides
employment here and when the mate
rails are not produced in this country
their importation does not decrease de-
mand for American labor but provides
that demand.
A familiar illustration is rubber.
which is hardly produced at all under
our flag, but whose import Is the basis
of employment for many thousands of
workers. Textile manufactures and
chemicals, on the other hand, when
imported In a finished state, provide
work and wages in the country of or
igin which might have been done and
paid here.
Now the report of the department Of
commerce for the fiscal year ended
June 30 shows that imports of chemi-
Gals and dyes and finished manufac-
lures of cotton, wool, silk and other
fibers increased in value from $780,
305.OO0 in 1915 to 1899, 392,OO0 in the
last fiscal year. The difference large
ly represents a wage bill paid to for
elgn labor, which under a different
tariff might have been paid to Ameri-
can labor.
Whether 1t would be to the advan-
tage of the nation as whole to have
a tariff which might divert this $780,
100000 or so from foreign workers to
Americans it is each voters privilege
to decide for himself. The broad facts
are here presented for the benefit OF
the large number of voters who are
thinking about the subject.
