nlS'actured gHods to the United
States before the Inauguration of the
Wilson U Underwood tariff increased at
the rate of only s1,OOO,0OO year, re-
duction Of the duties resulted in ex-
port of the same articles advancing
at the rate of over S33 900 600 year.
And this notable invasion of the Unit
ed States market for manufactured
goods, following Democratic abolition
Of duties, has been exceeded by ex-
ports Of Canadian agriculturists in
the same direction.
1t is therefore not strange that Can
adian business and Canadian political
leaders should regard with some mis-
givings the probable triunlp ph of the
Republican party with its avowed hos
t;lty to the Wilson-Urderwood tar
iff, its traditional plank of protection,
and its acknowledged policy of reap

CANADA FEARS HUGHES

The Canadian government and peo-
pie are watching the progress Of the
American presidential campaign with
an interest that borders almost upon
anxiety. Ottawa officials, party
leaders and newspapers do not disguise
the fact that for reasons of trade
and commerce they would not welcome
a return to Office Of the Republican
party and with it the possible with
drawal or revision Of the Wilson Un-
derwood tariff that has conferred such
great economic benefit upon the Can
adian people.
Mr.. Hughes protectionist speeches
are literally quoted in most Dominion
newspapers to show that if the Re-
publicans are victorious there will
likely follow an upward revision of
the tariff to the injury Of Canadian
industries who have recently been in
vading the United States market
while Democratic low tariff tenden-
cies are cited as evidence Of continu-
ed economic advantage for Canadian
producers if Mr.. Wilson is returned
to power
The beneficial result of this Demo
cratic revision of the tariff is strik-
ingH evidenced in Canada's export
trade with the United States. In
1912. the year Immediately preceding
the Wilson tariff, the total value of
Canada's exports to the United States
was $1O5, 100000 In 1914, the year
following the Wilson tariff, they had
jumped to $lS2.575 700; in 1915 they
increased to $2l5. 1926, and in 1916
they had reached $500, ,440. 900, truly
remarkable advance.
Previous to the new Democratic
tariff the Canadian manufacturer made
little or no attempt to invade the AM
erican market. In 1910 exports of
Canadian manufacturers to the United
States We're Sl4.50O,0O0; in 1911, S15.-
365,7S4, and in 1912, $16,312.751. But
in 1914, the year following the Demo-
cratic tariff, they jumped to s3O,291, =
764. In 1915 they advanced to $55,-
100000 and in 1916 they jumped to

THE WOMEN'S CAMPAIGN

! During the last two weeks of the
campaign, the voters in Cascade. Cho-
teau. Hlll, Blaine, Phillips, Vale; and
Sheridan counties will have an op-
! fortunity + get first t-hand intorma-
tion about the Woman's Parry is
! campaign and purpose--from Miss
Clara Louise Rowe, who, for two
years, has been campaigning in Mon
tana.
Miss Rowe reports that she has
had splendid meetings in Fergus
county during the past week and has
forwarded to the Montana headquar-
ters Of the Woman's Party, Placer Ho-
tel, Helena, list of places to be COW
cred by her this week, including Glas-
gov. She will speak here Saturday
evening, November 4th.
The energetic and wide-awake or
ganizers and speakers for the Wom-
ans Party are carrying their mes
sage Of the Democratic Party's oppo-
sition to national woman suffrage into
every section Of the state. Their
stirring appeal to the women who are
free to vote against President Will
son and the Democratic candidates
and thus to help other women who
are not free, is striking responsive
'}trd. Their slogan is-WOMEN
OF THE WEST! VOTE Fer THE
FREEDOM OF THE WOMEN OF
AMERICA!
The Woman's Party Speakers are
pointing out the fact that the 4,OO0,-
600 voting women Of the West can
easily be q balance of power in the
election and can, by united action in
lefense of the womanhood of the
country, wipe out forever great ma
tional injustice. At least one third
Of the vote necessary to elect a Pre-
sident comes, they say, from the
| twelve western states where women
vote and no candidate who ignores the
| wishes of so large a part of his con-
stituency should be trusted with the
reins of government for another four
years. President Wilson not only
ignores the claim Of the women of
the United States that their freedom
should be granted through the nation
al government, but he expressly states
that he is opposed to this method of
their franchisement. The fact that
Mr.. Wilson's influence in New Jersey
did not even carry the district in which
he voted for woman suffrage, shows
the weakness of his appeal for sup
port on the ground that he voted for
suffrage in his own state.

Miss Lucy Burns, one of the lead

that President Wilson has not only
turned deaf ear to entreaties from
the women Of the East and South who
are politically not free, but that he

sident to tell him that women would

"a vote for suffrage in New Jer-

"Once arrived at this point, on what

"His vote for suffrage in New Jer-
