npion of fair and reasonable protection.

FARMERS WILL NOT FORGET THAT THE ONLY
PERMANENT PROSPERITY THEY HAVE EVER HAD
WAS UNDER A PROTECTIVE TARIFF AND A REPUB-
LICAN ADMINISTRATION. They will remember the ter
rible times under Grover Cleveland and his low tariff law.
They will remember they could get almost nothing for their
products.

II WHY SHOULD NOT THE GARNER OF THIS COUN-
TRY BE PROSPEROUS when he is feeding the greatest
armies that this wrold has ever seen? Does the democratic
party think there is a farmer in all America that can be
deceived as to the reason of their present prosperity or that
has forgotten the conditions that prevailed in this country
the year before the war and the first year of the Under
wood law upon our statute books?

horses to the value of 1927 6OOO, a gain of 2,49O per cent.
IN THE YEAR OF PEACE we sold to Europe mules to
the value of ~S622,000. In the year of war we sold them

II The present democratic administration has a tariff law
now in force which, so far as farm products are concerned,
is as low as was the one under Cleveland. Cattle, sheep.
wool, beef, mutton, corn, milk, cream, potatoes and wheat
are on the free list. The duties on horses, poultry, oats, hay.
cheese and butter are greatly reduced.

Y If our present tariff law remains upon our statute books.
a period of depression will begin in this country within "a
hours after peace is declared, and within II months after
that time we will be in a period of panic and poverty never
before equaled in our national experience. Then will the
people of this country realize what they should now know,
that our prosperity today is due to the war in Europe.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1916-10-23

II The war in Europe has compelled our competitors to be-
come our best customers. 1t has compelled them to stop
selling to us. The price of their existence has compelled
them to do this. Our trade has increased but little with
any nation not at war. 1t has decreased with most of them.

The Cause of Prosperity

4 Every industry in this nation today that is enjoying even
a normal degree of prosperity derives that prosperity from
the awful tragedy that is now devastating the world. And
official figures will demonstrate in every instance that this
is true.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1916-10-23
Certain Industrial Invasion

When the millions of men now in the armies of Europe
turn from pursuits of war to the pursuits of peace, when
they leave the battlefields and return to the workshop and
mill and the mine and the farm, what, then will be the eff
feet upon our industrial condition?
When these millions burdened with debt and struggling
with poverty, when they cease to buy from us munitions
of war, when they cease to buy from us all the things that
they eat and wear, when they begin to produce and produce
more cheaply than ever before, when this mighty host be-
come competitors instead of customers, then we will wit
ness an industrial invasion of this country that will sur
pass all former industrial wars as the present war in Europe
surpaSses all others of history.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1916-10-23

The average price of wheat for the four years 1909-1912.
under the republican tariff, was 16 cents higher than the
average price for 1913-1914 under the threat and realization
of the democratic tariff. The average decrease in the price
of oats for the same period was 834 cents, for barley, 10
cents, for flax seed, Sc cents. That was what the present
democratic tariff law had already done for the farmer when
the war came to his rescue. The war acted the same as a
protective tariff. The men in Europe are withdrawn from
the farm and the factories. The ocean is closed to the
commerce of many nations. Russia, one of the great COM
petitors of the American farmer, cannot even get its prod
ucts on the market.

Our export trade has increased enormously, but all that in
crease is measured exactly by the increased sales caused by
the war.

formation Announced

To explain the advantages to be OBJ
tanned by passing the proposed loans
for street paving and motor fire ap-
paratus, to be voted on May 16, a
series of speeches will be made by
prominent Steelton men under the
auspices of the Municipal League.
T. 7. McEntee ce-president of the
league, to-day announced his appoint
ments on the committee to arrange
a series of meetings and to obtain
speakers. The committee includes
c. S. Davis, chairman; +. H. Mengle,
J. b. MalehoTn, James p. Detweiler,
G. Nj. Long, Charles II. Beidle, Wal
ter Keister and G. w. Mccoy.
This committee will at once plan a
series of meetings at which the voters
will be enabled to obtain any infor-
nation they may desire on the pro-
posed loans. 1t is planned to float a
bond issue of $4,000 for additional
street paving and 700 for purchase
of motor fire apparatus and garbage
collecting trucks.
Passage of the paving loan will
make Steelton the best-paved borough
in the State and the adoption of the
fire loan will enable council to do away
with all horse-drawn apparatus and to
equip the companies with modern
motor-driNen apparatus.
