Mckinley Americanism
Is What We Need Today

Just what happened. Don't tell me
that they can be fooled into bellev-
ing that the Democratic party Is In
any way responsible for tho present
good times. There Is not one Of them
who does not know that when the
war Is over. when the flower OF the
manhood of the embattled nations re-
turns to reaceful industrial pursuits.
this sporadic prosperity will at once
cease and that disaster black and In
cvitable. will ovcrwhclm American
industry unless before then the I'm
derwood law Is repealed. There Is

lesson to the American people. IT
has taught us the unspcakable folly
of relying altogether upon some 9th

solute necessity of every day life
when II can, under wise legislation.
be produced in this country just as

Is It not patiently absurd that we
should be almost wholly dependent
upon another country than our own

with which we write? Yet that Is the
fact. For years we have depended
on Germany for our dyes and circuln-
stances are such that we can no
longer get them from her. in spite or
the fact that our manufacturers have
been willing TO pay two thousand and
even three thousand per cent above
normal prices. The supply is almost
gone and we face the particularly I'M
pleasant condition OF having to live
in an environment gray and inkless.
