Some of the Democratic spellbinders, and the radical calamity howlers as well, seem to have about the same idea of the tariff as was enter- tained by a ber who was recently encoun- tered by Cong n Young of North Dakota i g shaved and while stretch out on the chair was iving some political in- formation from the tonsorial artist. The barber condemned the high price of shoes and exclaim: ed, “Why, I paid twelve dollars for the pair I he on.” The congressman asked whether he thought the riff used the high p and the barber replied “Of course it did. Mr. Young called the barber's afention to the fact that there is no tariff on she They are on the free list and pay no import tax whatever il campaigners have ee The Democratic and radi 1 been going about the country telling the farm- ers how badly the re hurt by the terrible tariff ine ing the cost of the things they buy. But the facts are ignored: Not one of these Demo rad speakers has the frankness and sincerity to carry copy of the tariff law with him and read the rates of duty charged on the things the farmer buys. If the Demo-rad campaigner would do that, they would find themselves bad- ly embaryassed, for the Republican iff law iné placed on the free list practically everything t is especially bought by farmers. All kinds of agricultural machinery, imple sand tools are on the free list, as atso bind- ing twine, barbed wire, lumber, lath and s] ingles, all kinds of fertilizers and the materials of which fertilizers are made, harness, suddles, boots and shoes, gloves and insect spra On the other hand, practically everything that the farmer raises to sell is protected by a high rate of duty. In some instances this duty y n of much value, but it is of great import- ance in the list of dviry products, eggs, vege- table oils, fats, wool, wheat, corn, peanuts, to- bacco, beet sugar, fruits and nuts, and many kinds of vegetables. Since candidate Davis has taken common hon- esty as his slogan, would it not be well to prac- tice a little common honesty in talking with the farmers on the effect of the tariff on the things the farmer buys? Don't take anybody's word for it, just turn to the law i and you will find that practically eyerything the farmer buys is on the free list and everything he sells is on the protected list. ~The tariff bill, before it was enActed into law, was approved by about twenty farm organiza- tions who had been influential in shaping its provisions. What Are They Doing? People who have property have in La¥ollette an avowed enemy. He frankly advocates the same destructive economic policy so dear to the heart of the champion of the theories t have ruined Russia. There, all persons who owned property were so far as the Soviets could make them, compelled to yield their possesgions to the state without compensation. The property was taken , as-Stated, for the benefit of the “jobless Not only that, only the propertyless pro- y vote. It is class government of the kind that La¥ellette favors. While the Russian tyrants who lord over the soyiets are not themselves of the lowest class mentally, they assert that they believe the goy- ermnent should be run exclusively for the bene- fit of the people who never have been thrifty ehough 10 acquire any property and whd are largely uniettered. The Iz of thrift and educa- tion is not ,of course, stressed by the proponents of Communism, nevertheless, they have denied to other classes any voice in the affairs of gov- ernment. They have, indeed sought to destroy the intelligentsia,” a te which, with them, com- prehends all property owners. : And, mark you, the LaFollette theories of goy- ernment are the same that have, when put into practice, destroyed the industrial and economic life of a great empire. The analogy is complete. LuFollette, the tyrant—another Lenine in spirit ~always in the limelight. Like Len he too is determined to tyrannize over the whole coun- try while loudly shonting that he is striving to give the government back to the people. In Wisconsin he is an absolute political tyrant and does as he pleases with the affairs of the state. And the state suffered economically in con- sequetice, as the statistics show. He is not even an intelligent tyrant. What are the, properties people of the United States—the man whe wns a bank accomnt, the farmer, the manufacturer e¢ banker and the economist doing to offset the efforts of LaFol to get power that he may “expropr r goods and chattels after the manne lowed enine in Russix Not a thing that is noteworthy, Individuals Great Britain has resulted in a Sucialist govern- ment there. Are so-called intelligent Americans ‘incapable of reading the plain language of that warning? - Fifty Million Profit The farmers of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Montana are expected to make a profit of $50,000,000 on their 1924 spring wheat crop. That is five times the amount loaned them by the Agricultural Credit corporation. This cor- poration, by the. way, was formed as the result of conferences with President Coolidge at Wash- ington. It has a capital of $10,000,000 contributed by commercial, industrial and financial inter- ests,.and has been granted the authority to bor- row ten times its capital from the War Finance corporation. It was one of the instrumentalities through which the Republican administration extended aid to the sorely pressed wheat grow- ers. That aid was given at the right time and in the right form, as atteste:l by the experiences of the farmers of the northwest. How can the voters of that region cast their ballots for the third party, with its specious appeal to the fur- mers, when they know that Republican policies have given them such substantial support? How Do You Like This? Democratic and third party leaders see their best hope of success in throwing te presidential election into congress, where they can fight it out among themselves after mutual agreement on the elimination of Coolidge and Dawes. What do the people think of that plan? There is not the hadow of a doubt that a big plurality of the ters favor the Republican ticket, and it highly probable that a substantial majority will vote that ticket. Were either the Democrat or the third party to withdraw from the field, there would be no question of the victory of the Republicans. That means that if. the popular election could take the form of an elimination contest, President Coolidge would certainly stay in the White House. Very few Democrats or third party supporters will dispute that assertion. _ On the other hand, if the election is thrown into congress for want of a majority for any candidate in the popular vote, President Cooi- idge and General Dawes will certainly not be elected, and the fight rage around Davis, LaFollette, Bryan and Wheeler. Or possibly the may all be eliminated and an individual who did not get a single popular vote may be chosen. No patriotic citizen can contemplate such a pre: pect with equanimity. Loyalty to country com before loyalty to political parties. The test of patriotism will come-on November 4th, when the voter ean choose between continuing the pres- ent highly efficient administration or inviting political and economic chaos. How They Figure sa fresh downward curve in their prospects takes place, the Democrats begin to figure how they can get something out of an election thrown into the house. They con stuntly k of the “increasing LaFollette vote,” rather than the dwindling Davis yote. Today it is the Democratic contention that the vote of each state for president will be decided by each state for president will be decided by the ma- jority of the representatives of each state pres- ent. This, in. their opinion, would enable the Democrats to yote a number of states for Mr. Dayis on a poll of the house which most polit- ical leaders have not thought it possible for him to get. The Democrats now hold a majority of representatives in twenty-one states. It was said, for example, if a Republican representative from each of the five tied sixtes would absent hiyn- self that would give Mr. Dayis the votes of five more states, or within two of the number neces- sary. It also was pointed out that it might be much easier for a Republican member who de- 1 the election of Mr. Davis to prevent the ac- cession of Governor Bryan to the presidency to absent himself than to vote for the Democratic nominee for president direc! The Democratic candidates say they want more competition for the American producer. They want more foreign goods imported, so that the American producer will have to cut his produc tion, his prices and his wages. Cotton textiles ure mentioned as an illustration of commodities in which the Democrats think more competition is needed. But they overlook the fact that in the year ended June 30, 1924,"we imported nearly 200,- 000,000 square yards of cotton cloths as compared with 43,000,000 square yards in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1013; which was also under a Republican tariff. If the present tariff permits an importation of nearly five times as much cloth as we imported in 1913, how can the tariff be called prohibitive or unduly high? If that quantity can be imported under a Republican tariff, what would become of the home indus- try if the tariff were reduced and foreigh im- portations further encouraged? Their Selfish Object The people of the United States, are growing weary of that sort of political leadership which thinks of public questions only in terms of votes. They realize the hypocrisy of the designing dem- agogues who impudently claim a monopoly on love of the people. They know by experience that what such adventurers really loye is not the people, but themselves. They play upon the sions and prejudices of the crowd not in order to help the crowd but to help themselves, Counting Chickens LaFollette already js parceling out the cab- inet offices in the next administration. Assum- ing that by the aid of the radicals and the Demo- crats the election will thrown into congress and that he will hold the balance of power it is his reported intention to demand seven cabinet of- fices of the president thus chosen be he Bryan or Wheeler, However it may develop, that so x many Democrats will vote for Coolidge Dawes that. no Democratic bow to LaFollette in the and senator would dare enate corridor. Three to One Betting odds on the election of Mr. Coolid are quoted at three to one, while two to one offered that Mr. Davis will outrun LaFollette. This is very ssuring to Republicans, but that ‘lation will be preserved only if the s maintain their efforts to the last © in meeting the vicious attacks of the are striving to make plain what LaFollette means but quite generally speaking the folks who haye most at stake in this matter are complacent and quite indifferent. It shonuld not be forgotten that a ‘si titude on the part of property ownin, ilar at- class in z anti-tezublicans and impressing upon the vot- ers the remarkable record of the Coolidge ad- ministration. Over-confidence has lost many a contest. Let it not interfere with the present one nor persuade any friend of Coolidge to remain away from the polls on election day. Talis La Follette Dodging ‘The third party socialist candidate did not receive the welcome his sup- porters expected when he made his initial speech of the .campaign * ip New York. It was expected. and Predicted by some of his ardent so- clalistic supporters that a riot would ensue as ao result of an’ intense de- sire to hear the senator deliver his’ premicre address and that great overflow crowds would surround the building. . According to advices front New York only a portion of those present at the meeting were finan- ¢lal contributors to the third party strong-box. LaFollette’s speech was far from being the dramatic effort that his followers had expected. He did not take the expected crack at the tariff that was anticipated; he did not rap it because he realized that agricultural implements were on the free~ list, while agricultural products were protected by the tar- fff, a tariff that “has aided very ma- terially in helping.the farmer... The farmers rem r, that . he ‘voted against the bill that gave them pro- teetion—that he voted against th bill that put agricultural implemen: on the free. list.

The sheep industry has gone bankrupt every time the duty on wool has been removed, ex- cept during the Wilson administra- tion, when our wool. manufacturers were cut off from foreign wool sup- plies. The war administration set the price on domestic wool at that time. Under other free wool admin- istrations, always democratic ad- ministrations, the farmer and ranch- man got from three to fifteen cents per pound for wool. He also got from three to six cents per pound for mutton. He had to sell his sheep atfrom fifty cents to two dollars per head. “We consume around 800,000,000 pounds of wool annually. We raise less than forty per cent of that wool: We have physical assets for raising 150,000,000 head of sheep—enough to more than meet all the wool require- ments.

West Virginia Facts The state of West Virginia has come into great prominence this campaign, owing to the fact that it is the state where the democratic presidential candidate “was born. ‘The Clarksburg Telegram published at he former home of Mr. Davis be- fore he moved to New York to-oc- cupy a palace in the mult/-million- uire colony on Long ~ Island, — fur- nishes some very interesting facts sbout the state, from which one can judge of the importance of the pro- teotive policy to the jocal industries, Perhaps the most inter ing one on the list is that which says" West Virginia has more unmined )itumin- ous.coal than Any state in-the un- fon—160,000,000,000 tons.” At the prevent time West Virginia produces about one-fiftty of our bituminous 1 supply,.and she emp! 0) miners to get ft out t nt of our bituminous’ cos) pro- ction is consumed bs Cucturing Industries of the and as a consequence of the to industry caused by th of the protective tariff nw tember 1922, our industries the fol- lowing year called for a 30 per cout increase in bituminous production over 1922. Should candidate Davis, of West Virginia, be elected and put into operation his ‘competitive’ tar- iff policy, the’ production of manu- factured goods would “ unquestiond ably fall much below the 1922 fig- ures, and that alone would mean ao reduction in the amount of bitum- Inous coal consumed of probably be- tween 120,000,000 ‘and 160,000,000 tons compared with 1923. Since the average output per man is some- thing ike four tons a day, this would mean a curtailment of: from 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 working days. The West Virginia miner could look for something like two months. of additional idle time as-a result of {Industrial depression in the mills, which would give him ample Ielsure to consider the blessings of the democratic policy, West Virginia has $7,289 farms, and the farmers enjoy high protee- tion on thelr products, while. the things they use on the farm, and the raw maerials which enter into their manufacture are on list.

The shepherd does not want a prohibitive tariff: he wants protection commensurate only with the difference in cost ef production here and abroad. “LaFollette and Davis are pledged to rip up the tariff, which means coffin nails for agriculture.” Mr. Burch points out in summing up their respective platforms, ‘Coolidge is pledged to protect the’farmer and especially the sheep raiser. “Following deflation tn farm and livestock products, the Harding and Coolidge administrations have saved the farmers from ~ bankruptcy through loans made by the war cor- poration intermediary banks, etc. also, these inistrations have co no doubt about his being an un- conquered creature of the wild. “The King of Wild Horses’ was written by Hal Roach, who also pro- duced it.
