THE TARIFF is STILL A PoLITI-
CAL ISSUE.

The reference by Senator Harding
to the tariff as an issue in the cam
paign and his suggestion that the
schedules should be revised to meet
present day. conditions, has drawn out
the retort from various democratic
sources and from the democratic can
didate himself that the tariff is no
/ longer political issue, pointing out
that the tariff commission now ad-
| justs the tariff to meet any change
that seems necessary and implying
that so far as legislation is concerned
the present free trade Underwood law
is the last word. In this way the
leaders of the party of free trade, sup
ported by the impractical theories of
pretentious doctrinaires, dispose of
an issue that has always represented
one of the fundamental differences
between the republican and demo-
cratic parties and which will continue
to be so long as republicanism stands
for protection to American industry
and democracy stands for free trade.
So far as the tariff commission is
concerned, it has no bearing whatever
upon the tariff issue between the two
parties. 1t has no power whatever to
change or fix tariff schedules, and has
no excuse for existence except to car
ny out the whm of a free trade presi-
dent through a subservient free trade
congress. 1t can do nothing except to

schedules is still solely vested in con-
gress and in the pursuance of this
duty it is uncomfortable that the diff
rerences that have always divided re-
publicans and democrats on this ques-
ton will disappear simply through
he recommendations of a tariff com
mission. Tariff protection is just as
hmly fixed in the republican creed
oday as it ever was, and there is no
that the democratic party
las abandoned it's belief in free trade.

MEDICAL OPINION DIVIDED.
Butte Daily Post)


In some instances American physi-
clans have asserted that, in a measure
and under some circumstances, an
alcoholic stimulant really is a neces-
sity in medical practice. On the 9th
er hand, the running; country
discussion of the big problem, from
the dry standpoint, is setting up the
claim, whether with warrant or not,
that the weight of opinion in the med
zeal profession is rapidly turning to
the opposite view.
American Medicine, one of the jour
nails of the profession, has recently
said that it is medical tradition"
rather than demonstrated fact that al
cohol has it's useful place in the prac-
tees. Recently the New York Times.
not dry, cited the fact that, ten years
ago, the American Medical association
went on record in a formal declara-
ton that in medicine nothing can be
done with alcohol that can not be /,
better done with something else.
However, if you are not feeling Just
light and your doctor suggests some
sort of alcoholic stimulant, you need
lot of necessity, call his attention to
he item just mentioned.

cox AND ZINC AGAIN.
New York Tribune)

New York Tribune)
In 1909 Candidate Cox declared in
favor of free zinc and opposed the
tariff act of 1909 which levied duties
up to 25 per cent on the metallic con-
tent of zinc ores. In 1913 he support
edthe Underwood tariff which reduced
the duty to 10 per cent, not sufficient
to hold the market for domestic pro-
ducers. This year. in his acceptance
speech, he approved the San Francis
co platform which eulogizes the I'm
derwood tariff and declares for a tar
lift for revenue only.
What is the status of the zinc min
ing industry partially developed in
eight states, with the principal mines
about Joplin Mo? Under the Under
wood act imports jumped from 81
900 tons annually to $4,000 tons in
1916. But with extra war demands
and Mexico, a large source of supply,
disturbed, the industry kept at work.
With peace the mines began to shut
down. In Webb City near Joplin,
which had a population of $4,000, the
closing has already reduced the popu-
lation to 10000. In the Joplin district
225, 600 people depend on the zinc in
dustry and the people there face a
hard winter.
Candidate Cox is losing popularity
in Missouri, particularly in and about
Joplin. There is a strong prejudice in'I
favor of having an opportunity to
make iiving-and knowledge that if
he is elected the zinc mining industry
must continue dead.

THE COMMONER AND COX

! the White House over to those
who defy the government and
hold law in contempt"
If this is the kind of good work"
the Cox men want Bryan to do for
the candidate we feel that they have
already given up the election. None
OF the political opponents of the dem
Ocratc nominee has said anything
half as severe about him. For that
reason the Bryan Judgment can not
be dismissed as partisan TRADE. 1t
comes from the man who was the ma
tiOnal standard bearer of his party in
three presidential campaigns. 1t comes
from the man who received more than
six million democratic votes on each
Of the occasions when he was a can
didatae. 1t comes from the man who
was responsible for the nomination or
Woodrow Wilson and who helped to
elect him. 1t comes from the man
who was secretary of state in dem
ocratic administration, and who con-
fesses that he was heart broken over
the nomination of Cox.
Mr.. Bryan says that Cox is the
choice of the disreputable element of
the democratic party and that he has
fairly won the dishonor" which has
been conferred upon him. The rabid
partisans do not ask much from the
Commoner. They suggest merely
that he eat his words and turn in and
help place Cox in the White House.
viii he do it? Well, he says that he
has not yet decided how he is going

comfort out of that they are entitled

nay do or say in the future his orig
nal Characterization of the demo-
cratic candidate will remain as part

responsible possessor is unwor-
thy of confidence or respect"
Doubtless many democrats enter
tain the view here expressed, but from
considerations of policy refrain from
giving their views such vigorous ex-
preston. This is clearly indicated by
the following from the Lewiston Tri-
bune, the leading democratic paper in
Idaho In the course of a rather
lengthy editorial discussion of the
Cox charges. the Tribune says:
presidential campaigns have
never been decided, or perhaps
even affected, by financial expen-
diture, either in the use or in the
lack of it, And this is Fortunate
ly 50. The mere charging Of such
a purpose would therefore be but
a small fault or mistake were it
not for the fact that the proclaim
ing of fraud and corruption oper-
ates as a poison which destroys
the faith of thousands in the in
tegrity of society and of the
government Most Of us would
probably be surprised by the re-
suit if we should trace back TO
its authorship the evidence which
the revolutionary propaganda Of
fers to justify it's preachments
We should find that a great part
of it is merely reproduction of
the testimony of men who are the
most robust champions of the ex-
listing order and the most stem
torian disclaimers against radi-
cal doctrine under any of its
names or manifestations"

UNEARNED DIVIDENDS.
Denver Mining Record.l


In days gone by before the postof-
f1ce authorities put an end to the op-
leration of confidence games through
the mails, financial crooks found at
least a part of the public easy to
fleece through the payment of divi-
dends from stock sales The Record
is not sure but that this practice was
revived during the oil boom by I'M
scrupulOus stock statesmen operating
/ 'get-rich- quick" schemes. In days
gone by, legitimate promoters have
: found that some people buying shares
today have expected dividends tomor-
row. These stock buyers failed to
realize that in order to pay dividends
honestly it was necessary to develop a
property to a productive basis and Sc
cure funds for dividends from this
production. The legitimate operator
was not able to provide dividends over
night Taking advantage of the situa-
ton, the ''get-rich- quick promoters
sold worthless shares to the unsophis-
ticated and almost Immediately paid
them back a small percentage of the
funds obtained from stock sales in
the form of dividends. In the end the
"get-rich-quick" artists got the money
and the hurry investors the ex-
perience.
In the past there have been a num-
Der of financial fiascos staged by the
'get-rich-quiclS" gentry who neeced
part of the public with promises Of
immediate and substantial dividends
Many of us can remember Five Hun
ired Per Cent Miller who had many

Jealous financiers like to brand min
lg and oil promoters as "get-rich-
uick" financiers, but the educated in
estor knows that nothing makes
honey faster than a good mine or a
reducing oil well. 1t is only the ig-
GRANT who swallow the bait of divi-
ends from the sale of stock. Shrewd
vestors are buying shares in legiti-
ate mining and oil ventures where
vidends come from mother earth.
