which gave practically free access to our market Of
the products of foreign labor seems never to have
occurred to him. Il
The enormous area and wonderful natural re.
sources of this country give us the capacity to use
two things in abundance: foreign capital and for
eign labor. We want more skilled labor, and per-
manent foreign investments. The inducement to
foreign labor is high wages; to investments of for
eign capital stability of industrial operation Meth.
er Is oferable with free trade because if adhered
to, the American wage standard must be lowered
and foreign labor will choose to remain at home,
while foreign capital will pass up the risk of in
vestment here and turn it's attention to producing
goods to be disposed of in our free trade market
Foreign capital invested here employs artisans who
spend their money here: capital employed abroad
and workshops kept busy in foreign countries for
the purpose of dumping here, throw half our work
men out of their jobs and have the wages of the
remainder. Let the farmer remember this when
some Democratic humbug tries to hypnotic him
into overlooking his interests with the incarnation,
He kept us out of war
For example, we have the glass industry devel-
oped here, employing a. great many Belgians the
file and watch industries, employing Swiss; the
musical instruments and the new dye industries,
employing Germans; the textile industries employ
ing English. In the steel and tin-pate industries
are to be found the best class of skilled workmen
born naturalized Americans, and foreigners,
plugging along side by side while in the lower
ranks OF labor work the Poles, Slavoks, Magyars,
Italians, etc, performing their humble tasks of I'M
skilled labor, but many of them becoming educat-
ed to American ideals, assimiated, and good citi-
zens. When free trade is in operation and indus
trial stagnation eXhales its miaSma the coun-
try, these men in the lower ranks of honest toll arc
the first TO suffer and the first to leave and who
is there left to perform their dr,ldgcry! Seven of
these industries own daughters of the protec-
tive tariff, while the dye industry is Democratic
founding which will soon have Republican nour
iShment.
If Woodrow Wilson really believes himself to be
the President Of Humanity, what greater instru-
mentality can he possibly set in motion than the
protective tariff policy which has caused such an
even industrial development of our country and has
raised the ideals and standards of so many Euro
pean born? But, no, he declares for free trade,
which might, perhaps, increase sales of raw
materials abroad, only to be made up and returned
to us to the absolute damnation of our factories-a
lopsided development, making us mere "hewers of
wood and drawers of water" We demand differ
ent policy-a policy which will make America
first, and America Efficient The great exponent
of that policy is Charles Evans Hughes whose cleo
ton is certain. But it is fully as important, if Mr.
Hughes is to put his policies into operation, that
we have congress Republican in both Houses.

ment that the University Of Wisconsin after ex.

spruce.
Why didn't the great university just consult the
nearest Journeyman papcrmaker? He has known
that ever since he was boy. 1t probably could
have been learned by consulting any good text book
on paper making. In England number of years
ago of the great London dailies adopted putty

cialist that that the best shade for newspapers
that had any regard for the eyes of their readers.
Bright white paper makes pretty appearance
it attracts the eye and probably has some influence
upon the street and newsstand sales, and that
doubtless explains why it is popular with American
newspapers. The papers of Europe almost invari.
ably have duller appearance than our own.

REPusLIcANIsM IN WEST
VIRGINIA

From the Wheeling \lntelligencer.
The Republican party has been In
control OF West Virginia for about
sixteen years. What has been its
stewardship?
Here are some of the things it has
done:
Abolishing the fee system in State
Offices and turned the fees into the
state Treasury. saving the State in
two offices alone over $4,000 a year.
Abolished all fees in county offices
and put them on a salary basis, saw.
ing counties OF the State over $780,.

"Americc First and America Efficient"
COUNTY FINANCES.

IN recent issue the Lincoln Republican, which
i always speaks with engaging directness upon
public questions, called attention to the fact that
Ct was the Republican party which did away with
the fee system and put the county officers upon
salary basis Commenting upon this change that
newspaper said:
81. No longer in West Virginia can man hold
:. office four years and got rich. No longer can
your sherns and your clerks graft and gouge
L and cover it up. The Republican party has
been the true Waterman the tower. No
L. longer can thousands Of dollars belonging to
h the state disappear in the office of your secre-
tary OF state as 1t did under Senator Chiffon,
when he was secretary under the disgraceful
administration Of MacCorkle.
This one act of the Republican party will save to
Akhe taxpayers of Marion county between eight and
Zen thousand dollars year. Under the provisions
0f the salary act the pay Of the sheriff Of this
ty will be 81 800 per year and the records show that
the sheriff has been getting in the neighborhood Of
ten thousand dollars each year in excess of that fig
ure Most of this money in excess of the amount
provided in the salary act has been realized by the
sheriff in commissions on the school funds. After
the end of the present fiscal year the boards of ed.
cation will get every dollar collected from the tax
payers.
Another piece Of legislation which the Republi-
cans put upon the statute books and which will
work an important saving for the taxpayers of
Marion we'll the other counties of the state is
the county depository law which was passed by the
session of 1915. BY the terms of this act all the
funds in the hands of the sheris go into banks des-
ignated as county repositories and the interest
upon these funds goes into the county fund 1t is
estimated by State Tax Commissioner Fred O. Blue,
who more than any other one person is responsible
for the passage of this wise economy measure, that
the interest upon public deposits will very largely,
il not altogether pay the sheriff's salary and the
Expenses of his office.
If the voters are wise they will think Of these
things when they are voting for state and county
candidates next month. The Republicans have sup.
piled the laws which will make it possible to put
the county affairs upon business basis it remains
for the voters to to it that the kind CT are
elected who will obey the laws themselves and en-
force them upon others.
