Then came the Underwood tariff
bill itself. What was the result? En-
terprise halted and there was con-
traction of trade throughout the land,
and America, instead of going ahead,
stopped. That is what happened.
Three hundred thousand were unem-
ployed in the City Of New York.
There was not y In this land
where the jobless man anxious and
able to work did not walk the street.
They were fed by our charitable Or
ganizations, which were taxed to the
utmost limit to provide for those for
whom American enterprise could no
longer make provision. 1t was a sad
spectacle. Americans have not for
gotten it. 1t is not forgotten here
or anywhere. 1t cannot be forgotten.
1t Is too recent.

No, the Democratic party will not
be saved by the European war. If
you would know what our condition
will be when the war ends, think Of
what our condition was before that
war began, If you think these nations
are so impoverished that they cannot
again turn to work. Those millions
of men now fighting are better able
to work than ever before In their
lives. Their factories are
there; their plants are there; they
know themselves better than ever be-
fore. They are better disciplined,
more alert, keener, stronger, better
physically than ever before, In the
main, and they are ready to turn
great national energies into the pur-
suits Of peace to pay their war bills,
to produce up to the limit, to send
their goods throughout the world.

TeIIinq Tariff Points

Let these telling points on tariff
and protection in the speech by
Charles Evans Hughes, the Republi-
can candidate for President, delivered
in the Salt Lake Tabernacle, be fixed
permanently in your mind and
memory during the remainder OF the
campaign:
We are desirous Of having strong
and sure the foundations of our ma
tional greatness in this pursuit OF
competition among the nations which
is sure to follow the cessation Of
the present struggle.
The Idaho Republican., 1916-09-22

out, applying a principle that we be-
lieve in, and secure intelligently and

Lowell has had little trouble from

NORTHERN MEXICO
IN S 7 AJE OF
OPEN REvCl:
Increasing Signs Of Rebellion
Against Carranza
SUPPORTERS FLEEING TO TEXAS
Officials and Their Families Already
Arriving at Towns on the
Border.

Washington, Oct. 25-Grave re-
ports concerning events in northern
Mexico reached the State Department
and the War Department today. 1t
may be only a question of days, if not
of hours. before all northern Mexico
is in open rebellion against First
Chief Carranza.
Carranza's followers and even Gen.
Trevino himself are hurrying their
families on specially guarded trains
to points of safety. Gen Bell reports
from the border that Chihuahua city
and Juarez are both ready to eapitu-
late to Villistas, according to the lat
est information he has received.
Secretary Lansing said that several
hundred refugees from Chihuahua
city had reached the border already,
because of the food shortage. The
seriousness of this problem may re-
suit in rush work on the part of the
American Red Cross to check starya-
ton near the border.
The War Departments information
concerning the ravages of the Villa
bandits and the chaotic conditions
that prevail came in reports forward
ed by Gen. Funston.
The arrival of some thousands of
CarraDzista troops at Chihuahua city
had temporarily made conditions
there more secure, but the whole ten
or of the news is that these troops
may join the Chihuahua garrison,
which, it is understood here in well in
formed circles, is in secret league
with Carranza's enemies.
