Continuing his address he said:

Nevertheless I believe that the
American people were ready for the
same kind Of appeal which was made to
them by Abraham Lincoln In 1860. by
the advocates OF an honest currency In
1896. by the advocates of the Spanish
war in 1898. by the advocates OF ma

AT one time Mr.. Wilson'S policy Of
intervention produced such unhappy re-
suits that on juno .. 1915. he issued u
formal warning TO the Mexican factions
in which he said that Mexico Is appar-
emily no nearer a solution OF her tragi-
cal troubles than she was when the rcvo-
luton was first kindled. She has been
swept by civil war as II by fire. Her
crops are destroyed. her cattle confs-
Gated. her people fee to the mountains
to escape being drawn into unavailing
bloodshed. and no mar seems TO see or
lead the way to peace and settled order.
There is no proper protection either Tor
her own citizens or for the citizens OF
other nations resident and at work
within her territory. Mexico is starving
and without a government
"a delightful picture OF the enects OF
Mr.. Wilson's policy, by the way! lie
therefore tells Mexico that unless
within n very short time tle Mexican
leaders get together for the relief and
redemption OF their PROSTATE country
the United States will he constrained 10
decide what means should lie employed
to dca. with the situation. But as usual
with Mr.. Wilson this solemn warning
meant precisely and exactly nothing.
And now. having coudoncd the re-
peated murders Of Americans 10y tho

before Carranza and having aided In
placing Carranxa In power. what is Mr.
Wilson'S reward and who pays II? TIC

To bolster up the plea for a high
protective tariff the Republicans have
been claiming that this country would
be flooded with cheap European prod
uets after the war. In a speech at
Cincinnati President Wilson ridiculed
the idea and showed that for many
wears the war stricken nations would
be buyers instead of sellers. War has
stopped nearly every industry, and
they have not as the Republicans
would have us believe been pilling up
goods to dump on us when the cruel
war is over. They are too busy kill
ing each other to do anything elseand
il will be a long time after hoStilitieS
before they recuperate. Some other
excuse must be found for a return to
the iniquitOus Payne-Aldrch tariff,
which robbed the poor to enrich the
rich. The prosperity that we are en-
joying has come to stay with Wilson
at the head of affairs, and a tariff
commission will recommend changes
when necessary and help to take the
question out of politics.
