A STRANGE POLITICAL TRADE

4 strange story comes out of Minnesota Inc
duly nominated candidates for governor anu O'''-
tod st,tes senator have withdrawn in order TO con-
centratc Democratic support behind the Farmer
bor;to candidates for these offices. The benchci-
aries will do what they can to deliver Minnesota
cloctoraI votes to Roosevelt and Garner, VINO wear
the Democratic label.
Mr. Roosevelt and his genial Tammany-traihed
.amnaicn manager the Hon. James AloySus Far
low are reported to have bestowed their political
blessing upon this extraordinary alliance. Whether
the true Democrats in Minnesota can be delivered
~ the Farmer-Laborite candidates is to be seen.
They arc without candidates and the conservative
among them are likely to support Landon and Knox
in the conditions which have been fOiSted upon
them.
Nothing has been reported about the good things
which would come to the two Democratic candi-
dates who have withdrawn. Is it thinkable that
they made no trade? Was their purpose holy and
benevolent? On the face of the situation, they are
undertaking to deliver the Minnesota Democrats in
mass to the Farmer-Laborite party. If the genial
Mr. Farley made any promises, what they?

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
NOT QUITE THE SAME

| While it is true that in this campaign the Re
| publican and the Democratic approach to several
| national problems are similar, it seems to The
| Times that The Charlotte Observer overstates the
case in saying that the main Emergencies are on
details rather than on Fundamental principles.
Republican platform and candidate have, indeed,
borrowed policies from Roosevelt as The London
Economist aptly remarks, while condemning the
Presidents philosophy, but there is one overShad-
owing issue on which the two parties are in this
campaign irreconcilaby far apart-and that is for
eign commercial policy, well foreign policy in
general
Democratic and Republican differences on this
basic question were discriminatory stated recent
~ by The New York Times in its editorial declar-
ms, its support of Mr.. Roosevelt. The Times said
in part:
"One outstanding argument, however, runs heav-
liz against the Republican party and its leaders IN
this campaign. They have advocated, even If only
half-hcartedly. policy of aloofneSS and isolation
for the United States. They would make protective
tariffs more prohibtive of foreign trade than ever
before They would at once abrogatc the existing
reciprocal trade agreements, and repeal the very
law which gives the President power to negotiate
these agreementS-a law long Endorsed by eminent
Republicans. Those treaties already in effect they
attack as destructive to the true interests of Amer
lean farmers. After thus proposing to do all in
their power by legislation to shut foreigners out
Of our markets. the Republicans proceed to the
pitch of absurdity and effrontery by demanding
that foreign nations pay the debt while depriv-
ING them of the means of paying.
If il is well to point out the attery for the New
Deal involved in Republican limitations of it, in
platform and in the Landon addresses. it is mpor-
tant to make it plain that there are still some deep
and wide differences between Republican and DEM
ocratc policy To say otherwise is simply to thick

WHY THESE GAINS?

II is difficult to satisfy ones mind about the
continuation of such large federal relief load
during the past year in view of the known ana
provable increase in business activity as well as the
known and provable increase in the number OF
cmplovableS who have been taken on relief rolls
and given jobs by private industry.
The latest month for which statistics on TINS mat
ter are available is that of June 1886 and the Ma
tional Conference Industrial Board is authority for
the statement that at that time the total number
of people on the relief rolls. apart from those on
emergency conservation work, was approximately
4 1872 900, against 4.475,OO in July 1885. Though
slight the increase ran counter to what would have
been expected in view of the continued improve
ment in general business conditions
The conference board in its study, traces the
uninterrupted growth of the relief burden since
July. 1888 the earliest month for which complete
figures are available.
In that month the total number of people on
relief except those on emergency conservation
work. aggregated approximately 3,9OS,OOO.
BY July of the following year the number had
grown to nearly 400 900. There was smaller IN
crease during the next year, the number on relief
in July, 1885. totaling 4.475.O00. BY June, 1886,
the total had risen to 4,4S2,O0O
OF the number currently on relief approximate
" 2,256, 900 are employed work sponsored by
the Works Progress Administration, and about
665, 900 are employed by other governmental
agencies.
In addition, it is estimated that considerably
more than 100000 persons, chiefly unempoy-
ables. are being cared for by state and local agen-
cies Most of these were formerly reported by the

CHlCAGO-ln the face Of a
growing belief among politi-
clans and students Of politics that
Roosevelt has an edge in the preSi-
dental contest, Gov. ALI Landon
and the Republicans have set out
to prove that an election can be
won in the last month of a cam

Landon himself, according to
those who have been with him
daily since his nomination, is
more confident OF victory than at
any previous time. At one period,
they say, he felt there wasn't
much hope.

HENDERSoNVILLE'S TRADE
CAMPAIGN

HenderSonville merchants have named
the day after the national election as the
date for starting their campaign for Fall
business. While local conditions do not
seem to be greatly unsettled by the pohtl-
cal campaigns. county state or national,
perhaps it is the best policy to get the cleo
ton out of the way before undertaking TO
fix the minds of the people on retail buy
ing for the Fall and Winter.
Impressive plans are in the making oy
HenderSonville business men to make TINS
years trade campaign bigger and better
than last year Satisfactory results were
obtained last year. This years results are
certain to prove more satisfactory to the
merchants and to the public. Business con-
ditions have improved; the Summer tourist
business. the real estate business, building,
farming and industry, in HenderSonvllle
and throughout this towns trade territory,
have shown increasing activity for the past
several months. The volume of business
has increased. because these sources of in
come of the people of this section have
enjoyed this period of improved general
conditions.
There is. therefore, the certainty that
HendersonvilleS trade volume from this
time until the end of the year would IN
crease without stimulation: and when to
this possibility is added the momentum
which will be derived from the co-opera-
tive efforts of nearly all local business men,
more active trading. greater volume OF
business and more satisfactory condition
in every particular are the assurances.
Patrons of the HenderSonville merchan-
disc market during this trade promotion
period are going to find the merchants OF
this city in the strongest position to serve
them that has been known in years. The
Times-News urges that all residents of the
territory evidence their appreciation OF
the efforts of local merchants by spending
their money here and by rallying to make
the remaining months of the year time
of great and profitable activity in whole
sale and retail business in Hendersonville.
