WELCOME THE ISSUE
REPUBLICANS EAGER FOR BAT
TLE OF BALLOTS.
Splendid Record of the Party in Pow
er Makes Certain the Verdict
That Will Be Returned by
the Voters.
Champ Clark brought "glad tidings
of great joy" to the Tammany braves
July 4, predicting with typical Demo
cratic fervor of a stuinp spech on In
dependence day, that victory would
certainly "perch" on the banners of
the Democratic party not only in the
congressional election this fall, but in
the "main event" two years hence.
The Democrats have chosen for their
slogan in these campaigns "The ad
ministration's extravagance, the tariff
and the trusts." On either or all of
these issues the Republicans have by
far the better of it and will "out class,
out fight and out-last" the opposition,
if the voters have anything approach
ing ability to weigh facts and vote ac
cordingly.
if the Taft administration has ac
complished anything at all it has been
substantial reductions in the operating
expenses of the government. This is
a tremendously big country, with lots
of people working in it. The nation's
"cost of living" is constantly rising, in
the very nature of things. .Not even
the opposition of the Democrats can
keep the country from expanding. It
is a billion dollar country and the ap
propriations of the session of congress
just closed were not abnormally large
or greatly in excess of those for re
cent sessions. The cry of national ex
travagance is not substantiated by the
facts.
On the tariff issue the Republicans
should win as easily as Johnson. The
Democracy cannot "come back." It
was able to knock out lilaine and Har
rison and Cleveland and exhibited
something like championship form. But
the Democracy cannot stand the ad
versity which it always brings, com
bined with the prosperity which Re
publicanism—real Republicanism, that
is to say—always affords. The "glad
tidings" based on the hope of winning
on the tariff issue will look like some
of the predictions of the high brow
fight experts just before the late un
pleasantness.
As to the trusts, if the people want
more done to them than has already
been done, they would better vote the
Debs ticket straight. The Republicans
have achieved results. The Democracy
has a choice assortment of weird,
rabid theories which would, if put into
practise, do no particular damage to
the trusts beyond what would be in
volved in the general demoralization,
if not destruction, of the whole indus
trial system of the country. At times
the Republican policies have verged
on the dangerous and in some in
stances have actually crossed the line.
Hut on the whole the severe but rela
tively conservative treatment of the
problem has accomplished enough
practical good to satisfy the demands
of all but the most drastic radicals.-
President Taft's Source of Strength.
It is said that Mr. Taft has ob
tained a large part of the legislation
that he wished, and this is due in great
part to a quiet insistence on his part
rather than to the exhibition of
strength or the use of more dictatorial
methods than he has pursued. In
making this continent upon Mr. Taft's
history up to this time in the White
House, undoubtedly a fact has been
stated, but we shall lose the point of
it entirely if we do not go beyond and
see what the conclusion is that we are
to draw. It is, namely, that the result
of Mr. Taft's methods shows what Is
gradually dnwnlng upon the world,
that the least important force Is that
known as physical, whether in Its
coarser or more refined forms, and
that the clumsy methods of noise mid
overbearing display of strength must
always yield before an idea, provided
that lde-i b«' good. It Is not Mr. Taft's
Idea or anybody's idea of right that
wins, but It Is the Ideu Itself that wins
and carries us forward.—Christian
Science Monitor.
Credit Belongs to President.
When Mr. Taft's administration
opened he hald unequivocally that li
would be an administration run with
due regard t<> the government's In
come Uuiost Ills lirst executive sets
were roni'i -i d with the establish
un lit of a bualliens system In the de

UNFAIR TO AMERICAN WORKER
Democratic Policies Would Mean Sub
jecting Them to Ruinous Com
petition.
China is threatening to repeat what
has been done in Japan in the way of
manufacturing for export. Shanghai
has eight large cotton mills in which
are employed over 30,000 Chinese at
spinning and weaving. In one mill
1,000 persons are employed in day and
night shifts, the children earning about
four cents a day, and the wages of
adults averaging no higher than 20
cents a day. Modern machinery is be
ing imported from foreign countries
and Chinese operators are said to bo
; quick to learn. The Chinese will soon
i make a good deal of their own cotton
goods, as, in fact, they do now. The
United States has lost a good deal of
its Chinese trade as a result of unfair
Japanese competition. England is suf
fering to a less extent in the same
way. The Chinese are sending pig
iron to the Pacific coast, and will no
doubt, be sending cotton and other
products in time if not kept out by ef
ficient protection to industries in this
country. American workmen cannot
compete in point of wages with either
Japanese or Chinese. Japanese work
men produce large quantities of rugs
that are now sold in the United States,
the work on which costs in Japan only
two or three cents a day. This takes
bread out of the mouths of American
I workmen, but that is the kind of com
| petition the want to sub
ject American workmen to by the re
duction or removal of tariff duties.
The Tariff and High Prices.
It continues to be very hard to make
the theory tit the facts in the conten
tion that the tariff is responsible for
high prices and for increased inability
of the people to buy commodities. Tha
inquiry by the United States senate
committee has not gone far, but it has
been sufficient to make it very embar
rassing for Democrats who have "laid
it all to the tariff." Full opportunity
has been given to examine witnesses,
and yet, says a Washington dispatch,
in no single instance has a witness
been found who ascribed increased
i prices, except in certain luxuries, in
i eluding champagne, to the tariff. And
j the drift of foreign trade under the
new law has been equally confusing
to the Democratic argument. The
dispatch says:"The imports for the
nine months ending with .March show
an increase of $235,300,000 over the
same period of the preceding year, and
yet most of the articles o*i which the
! tariff was lowered show n falling off.
j Tea and coffee, both on the free list,
I have both fallen off, while cocoa, on
which the duty was reduced, has fa.ll
i en off $1,000,000 In nine mopths. Lem-
I ons. under an increased duty, show an
; increase of $200,000. Silk dress goods,
J with a decreased duty, show a de
j crease of $1,000,000, and the importa
i tion of champagne, on which the duty
| was materially increased, has jumped
: for the nine months from $3,900,000 to
$5,900,000." Inexorable truth is a
great demolisher of free trade fustian.
Surplus Instead of Deficit.
The end of the first fiscal year in
which Secretary Franklin MacVeagh
; has been in charge of the United
i States treasury shows that there is a
! surplus of $9,402,432 in the year's or
| dinary receipts and expenditures. This
! Is a record that was absolutely unex
i pected a year ago, when the deficit In
the same Items ran to $58,734,955.
The average citizen avoids treasury
! statistics as consistently as possible.
They have so many strings and cross
j strings to them that It often takes a
| financial mind to find out what they
! really mean. Thus this $9,402,432 sur
plus is not an actual surplus, as the
] expenditures on which it Is based did
i not include tin- large sums paid out
for the Panama canal. With the*"
j payments Included there Is a real
deficit of $25,M4,644, but figuring the
same way It was $118,795,920 last year.
It Is legitimate finance to leave the
Panama payments out of th> current
expenditure column, be<mse they are
j but temporary disbursals for which
the treasury is to be reimbursed by a
| bond Issue.

SCRATCHED SO SHE COULD
NOT SLEEP
"I writ© to tell you how thankful I
am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem
edies. My little niece had eczema for
five years and when her mother died
I took caro of the child. It was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched so that she could
not sleep nights. 1 used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and then ap
plied Cuticura Ointment. I did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re
solvent, when you could see a change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
Is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. My
friends think it is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura. I
send you a picture taken when she was
about 18 months old.
"She was taken with the eczema
when two years old. Sho was covered
with big sores and her mother had all
the best doctors and tried all kinds of
Balves and medicines without effect
until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs.
H. Kiernan, 663 Quincy St., Brooklyn,

Judges' Wigs.
The wig is only worn by Kngllsh
barristers to give them a steri judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it falls in this respect. The cus
tom was originated by a French
judge in the seventeenth century
when, happening to don a marquis'
wig one day, he found it gave him
such a stern and dignified appearance
that he decided to gut one tor himself
and wear It at all times In court.
This ho did, and the result was so
satisfactory from a legal point of
view, that not only judges, but bar
risters, also, took up the custom
throughout Europe.
