Democratic Policy Continued Means
Certain Disaster for the Country

New York. Oct. s.--(Special Tele-
gram. )-That the United States is IN
dustrially and economically helpless
under democratic legislation, and that
nothing short of change of admins
tration and speedy return to the
protective system can save the coun-
try from great financial loss and mis-
cry, is set forth by United States SEN
ator Sherman Of Illinois IT. a com.
munication to Chairman Wilcox Of
the republican national committee.
Senator Sherman says: 1T must be
constantly remembered in this cam
paign that the vast imports of 1916
under war conditions but illustrate
what they will be under democratic
free trade tariff when peace is re-
stored in the world. Our exports are
relied upon by the democratic party
to mitigate the evil wrought by the
enormous complete analysis OF our
export trade.
"The exports OF commodities classi-
fled as peace merchandise. segregated
from our total exports, their total Of
1916 compared with 1918 shows a de-
crease OF approximately 100000, 900.
The exports of war merchandise for
1916, compared with the exports of
war merchandise for 1918, show an
increase in 1916 of war merchandise
exports of nearly 81 ,500000,000.

This abnormal demand will cease
when peace is concluded. Our ex.
ports will then shrink to their normal
volume, while our imports will not
only maintain the present high fig
ures, but will be immensely increased
by the return to industrial activities of
the countless iegions now on the bat
tlefield. '~ -
Not In the history Of the demo-
cratic party has it ever written a tar
If bill that contributed anything to
the treasury but deficiency. The
normal condition OF the national
finances with the democratic party in
power is bankruptcy The democrats
can neither protect the markets OF
our country, nor supply revenue to
meet the expenses Of government
economically administered, even on
republican lines. The staggering i'm
possibility of raising enough revenue
to meet its own profligate expendi-
lures drives the democratic party to
despair and $l30,000,00o bond issue,
1t was reserved for a democratic
administration to discover the neces-
sity, in time of peace, for a legion of
direct taxes heretofore resorted to
only in war times, So we have free
trade tariff act without any permanent
trade, revenue tariff without any
revenue. and war tax without any
war"

Efforts to compromise the contro..

consumers today pinned their hopes
upon the state investigation, which is
to begin before a referee here tomor-

Some indication of settlement also
was seen in an offer by one OF the big
distributors to give the farmers an ad-
vance of IS cents per 100 pounds over
the prices heretofore prevailing. The
Dairymen's league insists upon an ad-
vance of IS cents 100 pounds. 1t was
rumored THAI one of the distributors
had decided to withdraw from the
conference over the price and to make
a separate peace with the producers.
From upstate counties and New
