NOT ENTITLED TO CONFIDENCE

There are indications that it is
possible for a political candidate to
nislay his common sense on occasion
and persuade himself as he might
not If he were in possession of it.
Something like this appears to be
the matter with Mr.. Davis on his
tour among the farmers of the West.
He is reported as saying to them that
the present tariff law is IAN act to
increase the prices of what the farm
Ell buys and reduce the prices Of what
he sells anC he promised if elected
to have things so adjusted that the
farmer could buy in a competitive
market.
These statements elicit a reply
from Congressman Tilson of Connec-
ticut, who was member of the COM
mittee drafting the law criticised. He
says:
CAS- a matter of fact, under the
present Republican protective
tariff. the following articles re-
quired by the farmer are on the
liCC iiSl. 11dliOWS, Hal NSSISIS,
reapers. mowers, drills, planters,
rakes. cultivators. threshing ma
chimes, cotton gins, sugar-ma-
chinery. wagons and carts, ce-
ment, logs, binding Irvine, ferti-
lizers, harness, leather goods.
animals for breeding, seeds for
planting and other articles too
numerous to mention
Manifestly the tariff is not increas-
Ing the price of these articles, which
are an important part of what the
farmer IS required to buy. Further
more it isn't clear how the tariff re-
duccs the prices of what the farmer
has to sell. Figures are susceptible
to jugglery, but the farmer may
avoid confusion if he but ask himself
which he prefers: labor living we'll
and getting good pay. eating gener-
Gus meat and wheat rations. eggs.
milk and the like. or labor forced to
compete with foreign labor and in
consequence lacking steady employ
ment. lacking wages which would
warrant the standard of living which
he has heretofore enjoyed.
No. it will not be to the advantage
OF the American farmers to have Mr..
Davis and his free trade supporters
tinkering with the tariff right now
when the mill fires are to be lighted
throughout Germany. Especially, as
it appears he either does not know
or, has forgotten the very important
facts pertaining to the relations be-
tween the tariff and agriculture in
this country. He does not talk like.

Maine today. The Republican vic
tory there is ku Klux Khan victory
pure and simple" We who live in
Maine, the Ku Klux as we'll as the
rest of us, know the above to be alb

sumo the La Toilette campaign is
based on falsehood, that when they
tell us the American people are
down-trodden and enslaved they are
no nearer the truth than in the above.
We don't believe La Follette's appeal
to Maine will net him many votes.
Maine people are not so easily duped.
