That an industry so young as the

The Mutual Film Corporation has in

Administration to Blame.

Some weeks ago when 1t was an
nounced In the Republican press Of
the country that clever swindlers In
various communities were preparing
10 take advantage Of the misty VERDI
age of the rural credits law to put
something over on the farmers, the
Washington administration gave voice
to q most dolorous wall and protested
that 1t was viciously partisan report
put out in order to discredit the new
law. Now, however, we are Informed
that the government has finally
awakened to the fact that swindlers
really were operating and that the
farmers 1t treasured are out immense
sums of money. One concern alone
is charged with having got away
with S350,O0O and others were almost
equally successful. And the Washing
ton administration, by its indignant
denial of the Republican report, now
stands in the attitude of having acted
as Il capper for the crooks.

ALWAYS THE SAME STORY
Democratic Tinkering With the Tariff
Has Resulted In Disaster to the
Country.

How the Democratic tariff now In
force destroyed protection to the
American farmer, manufactures and
workingman and failed to produce
even revenue for the government, was
brought out by United States Senator
Knute Nelson of Minnesota while the
revenue bill was under consideration
In the closing days OF the recent scs-
sion Of congress.
I'm making their first assault upon
the tariff President Wilson and his
purity followed in the wake of Presi-
dent Cleveland and his administration
In 1851" he said. ut Is always the
tariff that is an eycsore TO the Demo
cratic party.
'The avowed purpose Of the law was
to destroy protection and to produce
revenue. III was successful as de-
stroyer OF protection, but an utter fail-
ure as a revenue provider."
As proof of this statement he read
n table of official figures, which showed
that imports had increased from ST.
556,947, 430 under the Payne law in
1910, to 81, 107, SS3,510 under the I'M
dcrwood law in 1916, while duties col.
lccted had dropped from 1898 ,GS3, 4i3
in 1910 to S2l1 ,SG6,222 in 1916. In
other words, while foreign producers
had brought TO this country half bill
lion dollars additional goods to COM
pete with Americans in their own mar
ket, the governments revenues had
dropped considerably more than hun
dred million dollars.
