SO that's the rub, is it? Farmers
can't sell at profit.
Yet | read in a leading agricultural
journal the amazing statement by an
expert that the reason for the low
rice of milk to the farmers this last
summer was too much milk. What
does the governor of Massachusetts
say? He says: During the past hot
spell the consumption of milk and
cream possibly has never been equal
led at this season of the year in New
England. This has been especially
true in Boston and vicinity. Enough
fresh wholesome milk could not be
obtained at any price to supply the
demand. | was calling at milk plant
office in Boston few days ago, and
during my stay our conversation was
continually interrupted by telephone
calls for milk, all of which had to be
turned down. as the days available
supply was long before exhausted"
This illustrates the situation as it has
existed, and, while it will not be as
bad for the next few weeks, yet a

DEMOCRACY'S RECORD

=! Just now there is much gleeful chirp
and chatter among Democrats regard
ing the more hopeful conditions of
business. And the burden of their
song is that Democratic policies and
lacts are what is bringing about such
"a result. The country itself, how
ever, labors under no such misappre-
hension. says the Philadelphia Press.
1t recognizes the fact that the war in
Europe has built up about the United
States protective wall, and is giving
the tariff protection that the Demo-
Gratis took away in their tariff bill
The Wilson Underwood law opened
wide our doors to foreign products;
the European conflicts prevents the
foreign producer from taking advan-
tage of the opportunity thus given.
This is the real reason for the pres
ent business squirt. plus the war or
ders which this country is receiving.
The demand created by the war, too,
Is IN just those articles which under
the normal working of the Democratic
tariff would have left the American
producers of them helpless and at the
mercy of the European manufacturer.
1t is both well and necessary to keep
in mind at this time how far we shall
have to go before normal conditions
will again exist The proper COM
parison is not of the present with the
past, but with those con-
ditions which existed before the De-
mocrats came into power, and with a
time when prosperity and good bust
ness were spread throughout the
United States, and shared in by all its
industries

II was predicted at a meeting Of the

soon be a thing Of the past. One Of
the big nabob bakers said there
would be a saving to the people Of

ten-cent instead Of five-cent loaves.
Now what We want to know is, why
have the master bakers suddenly be-
come so solicitous for the interests Of
the people! This saving Of millions
to the people would certainly repre-.
sent a corresponding loss to the bak.
ers' which makes II a little hard TO

Don't buy in careless manner.
Don't buy from merchant who

Don't allow the merchant to use
liquid measures for measuring dry

the fathead stood there while the
crowd howled itself mad. McCabe ran
