But both combined have not had
the i'll effect upon the popular mind
and caused such distrust among the
voters as this neglect to close the
doors to the products of cheap foreign
labor-this failure to provide tariff
for ample revenue.

THE COUNTRY DEMANDS RE.
DEMPTioN OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC PLEDGE, "a TAR


From the Cincinnati Inquirer.
Saturdays bitter debate between
Senators Underwood and Stone over
the proposition of the Senator from
Alabama to levy an income tax upon
all incomes over $4,000 per annum
would not have taken place II the
Democratic Congress had but adhered
to the venerated Democratic doctrine,
"a tariff for revenue"
This Congress had had nearly two
years to meet the calls for greater
revenues through the tariff, and 1t has
failed to respond to the call of the
country for the higher duties.
Direct taxes, stamp taxes, war tax
es-all these makeshifts to avoid
keeping a party pledge Of 40 years
standing-are but proofs Of failure to
provide sufficient revenues through
the tariff. =
They are the evidences of the insult.
ficiency Of the Underwood law to pro-
vide the revenues which the country
requires, and in the face Of the argu-
ments of Secretary Redfield and Of
scores Of other Democratic leaders
and the warnings Of scores Of thou
sands Of business men In the United
States as to the dumping Of foreign
products upon the markets Of this
country at the close of the war the
open doors Of that law are a positive
menace of real danger to every ma
terial interest Of the people Of the
United States.
The Enquirer stands for the inter-
ests of the vast majority Of the peo-
pie of this republic, and, while It re-
CARDS the Democratic party as the
agency through which those interests
can be best served, 1t has for all the
time of its existence as newspaper,
and especially during the lifetime Of
this Administration, argued the keep
ing Of the pledges and promises of the
party made to the electors who placed
It in power.
All the trouble the Administration
has upon its hands today can be d.
rectly placed to omissions to keep
party pledges and reputation OF
party pledges, and not one Is bringing
greater opposition to its continuance
In power than its failure to provide
the revenues through the tariff and
its insistence in making up the def.
ciencies in the revenues through OBJ.

taxation.

THAT TARIFF COMMISSION:


The insincerity Of the Democrats IN
creating q tariff commission has al.
ready been pointed out in this CORE.
spondence, but from wholly unex.
pected source comes criticism Of their
course. The New York World, the Of.
fetal organ Of the Wilson administra.
ton, criticises the Democrats for re-
ducing from $4,000 to $500 a year
the salaries> of the proposed commits.
sioners as Indicative Of lack of sin.
cerity and confidence in the useful.
ness Of the proposed commission, and
intimates that If cheap men are to be
chosen for the commission its find.
ings and recommendations will com.
mand even less respect from members
OF Congress than they otherwise
would But It Is not through low sal.
aries that commission qualified to
serve Congress as It should be served
will be secured" concludes the World.

WILSON AND The EMBARGO:

Mr.. Roosevelt gives graphic &C.
count OF how Wilson has continually
changed his mind on the subject Of
permitting arms and ammunition to
go into Mexico. In August 1918, Mr..
Wilson announced in his message to
Congress that he would lot permit
arms to 60 in and established the EN-.
barge. On Feb. 2, 1914, he changed
his mind and raised the embargo. A
couple Of hundred American soldiers,
sailors and civilians were killed or
wounded during the next two
months" On April %, Mr.. Wilson
changed his mind again and restored
the embargo, but on May is, he
changed his mind again AMI the EN-.
barge was lifted so far as shipments
to Tampico and other Mexican ports
were concerned" On Sept. 8, the EN-.
barge was lifted everywhere. ION
Oct. 20. 1916, when all Of the factions
had been amply supplied" Mr.. Wilson
changed his mind again and restored
the embargo. MIR. Roosevelt contin.
ues; "On October 20, last, therefore,
MIR. Wilson specifically permitted
arms to be sent to the same Carranza
who, in the month OF September, thir.
ty days previous, on four specific oc.
casions, invaded American territory
and butchered citizens, mutilating
them before or after death. On the
date when this embargo was thus
raised, the names Of ZIG Americans
who had been murdered had been Of
ficially placed on file. How many 9th.
ers had been murdered cannot at tie
present be told"

But Secretary Baker, performing his

proved the finding Of the Judge Ad.
vocate General that the condition
surrounding this (the Pershing) ex-
petition are those Of actual war; and
declaring that "The mere formality Of
a declaration Of war could add moth

HERE, MIR. FARMER!
Why Not Grow a Few Acres
of Tomatoes? Have You
Thought About It?

Or maybe you tried it once and
for some reason it was not as big
a success as you expected and
you decided not to fool with to-
matoes again.
Is that the way you reason and
plan in regard to other crops,
stock and all your farm enter
prises? You know you don't fol-
low that principle with corn,
wheat, oats, potatoes, live stock,
etc. OI, if you do, that tells the
story of why you are not as sue
cessful as some of your neigbors
and want to quit farming and do
something else.
If you have made good at farm.
ing or any other busines you
know that you have done so by
persistent endeavor, in spite of
failures, acknowledgements and
backsets.
Now, want you to consider a
few plain statements Of facts in
regard to the growing of toma'
toes for canning:
First Wherever tomato grow
ing has been fairly tried
here in the Ozarks it has become
an established feature of the
farming in that community and
in many localities has become
the leading or main crop.
Second--It is a sure crop, not
that it is immune to plant dis
eases, weather extremes or in
sect ravages but that in a given
number of years in spite of these
hindrances it produces more full
crops and even in bad seasons
seldom fails to produce q paying
crop.
Third The selling price of
your crop is not dependent on
the uncertain changes OF d n,Gn-
ipulatcd market under the con
t.oi OF buyers, inri6vofteI force -
to the lowest level just when the
farmer is compelled to let go.
With tomatoes the price is fixed
by contract before the crop is
planted.
Fourth 4Oc per 100 pounds
any land that will grow even a
fair crop of corn will yield $40 to
$50 per acre in tomatoes,
The facts ABOVE stated are our
main reasons for trying to estab-
lish tomato canning as perma'
nent industry at Mansfield
Last years exceptional and al
most complete failure of the crop
has not discouraged US and we
propose to go right on with prep
for handling the largest
crop of tomatoes ever grown in
this locality.
To do this we must have the
interest and cooperation of our
farmer friends,
Won't you be one to help US
make this the banner year for
tomato growing and canning in
this locality?
Last year the r and E kanning
Ko. of Mansfield made every
promise good aud met every OBJ
legation Of their contracts with
the growers without shirking or
whining at poor quality of toma-
toes. We gave the growers fair
and liberal treatment even in the
face of certain loss to ourselves.
All that we ask now is that the
farmers give the tomato propo,
sition q fair trial. Let US have
at least 100 acres this year and
with d good season this acreage
will put at least $4,000 or $4,000 in
the pockets of the farmers, fur
nish needed employment to a
number of people and put this
enterprise on a safe basis.
1t is time now for you to look
over your farm and decide how
much ground you can tend in to-
matoes. Come in and sign up a
contract and get your seed at w.
B. Fullingtop's. We want all
contracts signed up by April 10.

For r and E Kanning 10.
