OLD-TIME FALLACY EXPOSED
Republican High-Tariff Doctrine Has
Been ConcIusively Proved to
Be of No Worth.

It is announced by friendly inter-
prefer of Wall street sentiment that
the street would welcome even the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt by
the Republicans if that would unite
the party, "as it sees no other way to
a establishment of the high tariff"
The same news columns carry this
extract from an address by George e.
Roberts, twice director of the United
States mint under different Republican
administrations and now associated
with leading Wall street bank:
eff anything has been clearly demon
strated In recent months 1t is that you
cannot have permanently one-sided
trade. You soon reach the point
where you have to lend to your GUS
toner to enable him to continue his
purchases, and evidently that policy
cannot go on indefinitely
This is now not merely an obvious
is being driven home with practical
force by every days developments in
the country's fast-expanding foreign
trade. The permanently one-sided
trade" which is the theory and the
end of the old Republican tariff pol
icy has gone for good If America is to
hold it's new position in the commerce
of the world.
AS against this Wall street forecast
of presidential campaign to re-estab-
lish extortionate tariffs there stands
the fact that great body of the Re
publican party and even a section of
Wall street are being educated away
from this position by the mighty force
of new experience in economic prac.

bandman. University of Arizona Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.)
A very common inquiry from farm
ers is in regard to inoculating hogs
as protection against cholera.
Hog cholera has been a great men,
ace to the hog industry. This disease
may not be dreaded if care is taken to
keep out infection as well as possible
and then use hog cholera serum as
soon as the disease gets within two
miles of the place where hogs are
maintained. There are two methods
of applying the serum, the one being
called the simultaneous method and
the other the preventive. The stimuli
taneous method should never be used
where there is some doubt Of the ex.
istence of hog cholera in the district.
1t consists Of injecting preventive
serum as well as the living virus of
the hog cholera and rapidly overlook
ing it with the antitoxin. Often hogs
are thought to be infected with chol-
era when some other disease is pres
ent. In such cases the simultaneous
treatment is extremely dangerous be-
cause it introduces the disease to a

these words of woe:
Democratic papers are asking what
the Republican party would have done

that confronts the present administra-

If the Republican party had been in
power this condition would not have
confronted u.s.
We believe it, because it Is impos-
sible. But why veil the awful truth
Why spare the erring Democracy the

lican party had been in power, war

that time.

over a wide surface in thin sheets
with plenty of ice to keep the surface
cool.
If nothing better can be had, milk

NOT TRUE PATRIOTS
Republicans Put Party Before
Country.
Money Needed for National Defense
Should BE Voted Without Quib-
ble-Democratic Record 10
One Of Honor.

The most foolish exhibition Of parti
sanship witnessed in this country for
many day is that participated in by
the Republicans of the house and SEN
ate when they voted solidly against
the extension of the emergency war
taxes for one year.
It Is no excuse for this narrowness
to say that the measure was partisan
and that If the Republicans had been
in power they would have handled it
differently. The measure was not
partisan. If the Republicans had
been in control they would have been
compelled to take similar action. In
fact, the emergency war taxes are the
same in principle as those levied by
Republicans during the Civil and the
Spanish-American wars.
The pretense that high or low tar
ifs, tariffs for plumber or tariffs for
revenue, had anything to do with this
question or the situation that produced
it was equally false. The emergency
taxes were made necessary by the war
In Europe, which has dislocated COM
MERGE and industry to an extent never
before known.
Several weeks before the war with
Spain began, every Democrat In the
house of representatives voted with
the Republican majority in favor Of a
$50,00O,0OO appropriation for national
defense. The money now derived from
the emergency taxes is just as neces-
sary to national honor and security as
the great fund that was placed unre-
servedly in the hands of President Nc
national defense is to keep solvent
