benefited BY FREE WOOL
come Prosperous Through the OPP
Grafton Of Democratic Tariff.

Most people will remember the blue
funk into which the free tariff on wool
threw Texas and New Mexico sheep
men some three years ago. There
never was such a %scurrying for cover
in the history of the wool industry.
Sheepskins were so cheap that every
"peon" In those states sported n with
all the aplomb of a Yale graduate.
The editor of the Cotton and Cotton
Oil News. m economist of some repute,
has proclaimed that free wool makes
the Texas sheep men prosperous. He
says that the higher prices of wool are
due to the Democratic tariff that put
foreign wool on the free list. This ed
itor, we may remark, is of the Demo-
cratic persuasion and possibly biased |;
besides, he offers no credible evidence
to back up his assertion.
But If the free tariff didn't put wool
up, who did? Not the war, for wool
was soaring before it broke out, and
started its climb Immediately after the
tariff was removed. Wherefore the
burden of proof is on the opponents of
the Underwood tariff.
The certainty Of the reelection of
President Wilson stands out. He is as
sured of the votes Of many Progress
sives and Independent Republicans.
The American people are not stand
patters by nature and they have seen
the Democratic pledges of progressive
ness redeemed. No administration
could do more to meet the wishes of
the American people than that of Presi-
dent Wilson, and a large majority of
the citizens may be expected to stand
by it. The Democratic party Is united
behind President Wilson.

He Is the mar of the hour" said
the president of the Association OPP

t~riumphantly from an interview with

him earlier; their president found his

much more favorable than the Demo-
cratic assurances.

lust a Statement Of Eacts.

Republican newspapers which have
made the awful discovery that She
Democrats are being Converted to
protectionlsm" ought to know that the
present Democratic tariff is about
twice as high as the Is per cent tariff
which Henry Clay, the father of the
American system, said was ample for
every purpose. No Democratic con-
gress ever enacted a tariff of less than
20 per cent, although several Republic
an congresses, In showering monopo-
listic privileges upon favorltes, have
run their extortons to so per cent.

Progressive Sentiment.

For the explanation Of the univer.
sal feeling that the Progressive vote
cannot be delivered to the Republic
an candidates, n need only turn to
the Philadelphia North American,
Progressive to the core, and see what
the members of that party think of
the G. o. p:
"fhe Republican party Is decadent.
This fact was patent to every witness
of the convention. . Material
ism has Slapped its faith and narrow
partisanship has palsied the flbers of
Its being. Virtue has gone from it."

No Dinner-Pail Arqument

Business is good throughout the
country, and this undoubtedly will
help Democrats. The Republicans will
not have their old-time issue of the
tariff to fall back upon, as they can't
used the empty dinner pail as an argu-
ment. When workingmen are en-
ployed at good wages and the country
in a general state Of prosperity, it's
pretty hard to stir up opposition to
the administration.

it is an open question whether

1t is not only on the Pacific

Yet the situation Is not to be
wondered at. The progressives

lowing the natural course.
With all regard for Justice
Hughes it is the truth to say
that Woodrow Wilson meas
ures up to the progressive ideal
more closely than does the re-
publican nominee. Wilson has
been putting progressive prin-
cipleS into law. Hughes thus
far has not even talked along
progressive lines. His words
have been non-committal as to
all important subjects. On
top of this is remembrance of
his opposition to the income
tax amendment when he was
governor of New York-an ac-
ton that will not impress men
of progressive inclinations.
In spite of Teddy Roosevelt's
advice to the contrary the pro-
gressives will show both com
mon sense and consistency in
supporting Wilson over
Hughes. If Roosevelt wished
to continue as the progressive
guide he should not have de-
serted them as he did in their
hour of need.
