POTATO NOTES

Fort Fairfield Review, Nov. 49,
Potatoes have come in rather slowly
the past week. owing largely to the
bad condition OF the roads. OF
course most of those that do arrive
are Green Mountains. The stand
ard price is now about $3.50 a bar
rel. The cars are supplied by both
railroads nearly or quite as fast as
wanted.
Aroostook Pioneer. Houlton. Nov.
20-On account Of the conditions of
the roads. offerings have been light
during the past week. The demand
is good with a firm market. The
price to farmers ranges from $3.50
to 1915. With the approaching
holidays. it is expected that the mar
ket demand win fall off with a DOS
sibility Of a lower price.

Editorial Comment
American Supremacy
(The Press.)

The cry'that is going up from British
Hitting Of the embargo against American
goods contains an eloquent argument in
favor Of the American protective tariff
policy. In the appeal that is being mad
i. is urged that American legislation
has built up INDUSTRY here and thas
Great Britain should follow our ex-
ample. The manufacturers say tina.
they must have either the embargo or
a protective tariff. that British industry
can no longer get along without the
consideration and care of the Govern
ment. The United states is being used
as the example and the argument why
q new policy should be adopted and
without delay.
The British manufacturer is telling 4
true story. American industry has been
built up by legislation, by tariff iegis-
lation. 1t has been built UP to a point
where in many cases it is strong enough
to force itself forth into the markets of
the world. 1t could never have had this
growth nor reached such formidable
proportions without the protection that
it has received. If customs duties hal
not been assessed that equaliZed indus
trial conditions here and abroad. Amer
lean manufacture could not have made
a start. If the theory of free trade had
prevailed we would have today neither
prospect of export trade nor control Of
our own market.
Had the nation been under the reign
of Mr.. Wilson's party and its economic
principles during the past fifty years.
our wealth and industrial power would
not have been the decisive factor in the
world war. Had there not been in
operation the patriotic and progressive
and protective policy Of the Republican
party there would have been a far diff
ferent history written of that conflict
and another result. The first act Of the
Democratic party when it came into
power in 1918 was to pass a tariff law
that provided neither protection to
American industry nor revenue for the
Government. The first act of the Re-
publican party when 1t comes back to
power in 1871 will be to establish the
system Of tariff that has made the
country strong and prosperous.

arrested under the anarchy clauses
g.. existing laws; Of these 14s had
been ordered deported. Out Of the

writ for the ceremonial uses Of 1t,
and the old Mosaic law commands
that every sacrifice Of a meat offer
ing shall be seasoned with it. Homer
calls 1t divine. and many Of the old
Teuton races looked on salt springs

The origin Of this superstition seems
to be that since salt cannot corrupt
it should be regarded as a symbol OF
Immortality.
