pletely exposes the sophistry Of Mr.
Gompers' arguments, while at the
same time disposing Of the wrongful
contention that the law referred to Is
an eight hour provision. In other
words the law does not mean what II
says, but is simply a measure forced
from Congress to increase the wages

But the most interesting revelation
in Mr.. Archer's communication Is the
proof he submits that neither Congress
nor the President is entitled 10 praise
or commentator from organized labor
for an act that was intended to curry
their favor. According 10 Mr.. Archer

profound satisfaction. not only, but
Of real gratitude that We have com
pleted this piece Of legislation" What
an ept partisan Mr.. Wilson is. 1t

irr. but the farmers are likely TO be
fooled il they are looking for any
great relief from this measure, as 1t

one Of its provisions exemptlng the
subordinate officers and the myriad
clerks it will employ from the opera
tons Of the civil service law. Great
is buncombe, and Woodrow Wilson is
its prophet.
The measure has been condemned
by those familiar with the real OBJ
ject OF rural credits as imperfect and
untitled to work out real relief TO the
farmer class. 1t will be long after the
November election before the system
is In practical operation. The farmer
vote will have been cast and 1t Is eS-
pected that it will be somewhat in
fuenced by this complicated piece or
legislation which is imperfectly under
stood ever by those responsible for 1t.
That object at least wilt have been Sc
cured, but the operation of this rural
credit system will be experimental and
in several respects it is sure to be dis
appointing.
!! This same farm loan act was work
ed into the Maine campaign by the
"Artful Dodger" Of the administration,
and we call on good Democratic auth
ority to relate the effect of that effort
to sway the farmer vote in that State.

Secretary McAdoo went TO Maine 10
give information regarding the bene-
fits to farmers through the admins
trations rural credit law. He will
leave Maine with information that the
farmers in that region are in greater
need OF short credits than OF long
loans. A better title system TO make
loans easier at current rates was an
other necessity in Maine, the Score
tary was told. Secretary McAdoo lad
nothing to offer on those heads, and
suffered the humiliation Of hearing
that the tour of the country during
the campaign was open to the con-
structon Of political rather than fin
ancial motive"

One Of the features Of Mr. Hughes

]. made plain to his auditors he regards
asa real, fundamental issue OF the cam

that Immediately peace is declared IN
Europe the United States will be con-
4 fronted by competition with which

would plunge the country into the
most critical economic depression in
its history" and he has made it per-
fectly clear that the death bed CONVEX
sion of MIR. Wilson experienced only
en- the eve Of the national election, as
shown in the case of the duty on dye
stuffs and the creation of a tariff COM
mission, does not deceive him in the
least regarding the attitude Of the
Democracy on this question which he
regards as a fundamental in the econ
omic structure Of the nation.
The press reports OF Mr.. Hughes
speeches in the west have been some
what meager, but none who have
heard him or read the actual text Of
his speeches can have the slightest
doubt as TO the importance which Mr..
Hughes attaches to the question of a
taritf adequate to protect American
industries and American workingmen
from the competition Of foreign pro.
ducers and manufacturers. On the
Pacific coast where, despite the Eu-
ropean war. the effects OF japanese,

made possible by the Underwood bill
have been sorely felt, Mr.. Hughes
tariff utterances were received with
