Is convinced that Immediately after

States will be confronted by com

wood tariff law shall have been radi-
cally revised lie has declared that
the Democratic policy of "a tariff for
revenue only" is ruinous to this coun-
try even under normal times, and that
under the conditions which will pre-
vail following the war it will prove
trebly so. He has declared his con
wctiOn that should the war end before
the Underwood law was replaced by
Republican law it would plunge the
country into the most critical economic
depression in its history" and he has
made II perfectly clear that the death
bed conversion Of Mr.. Wilson exper-
fenced only on the eve of the national
election, as shown in the case az the
duty on dye stuffs and the creation
Of tariff commission does not de-
ceive him in the least regarding the
attitude OF the Democracy on this
question which he regards as funda-
mental in the economic structure of
the nation. The press reports on Mr..
IIughes's speeches in the West have
been somewhat 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
tariff adequate to protect American
industries and American workingmen
from the competition of foreign pro-
ducers and manufacturers. On the

made possible by the Underwood bill

REMARKS ON The
SKILLET CREEK CASE

In the case of Irish against Ientz
just decided by jury for the defend
ant was simply a question of whether a
man could wilfully break his written
legal contract to the damage of the
other party or not.
The farm where the damage &C.
Cured stands in mute evidence of the
broken contract-one crop plowed up
and worthless, the other with no evil
dence of it's existence, the weather not
being to blame in either case. These
kind of decisions encourage the break
