TiiE REAL QUESTION OVERSHADOWING ISSUE of THE CAMPAIGN. Effect of Democratic Victory at tha Polls !s Here Made Plain—Some thing for Republican Voters to Ponder Over. The arrogance of Democratic lead ers in not only assuming that they will control the next house of repre sentatives, but in declaring that they will pass a tarlff-for-revenue-only bill makes this an issue that overshadows every other question of the campaign. Whatever difference of opinion there may be concerning the present tariff there can be none from a Republican standpoint a united Republican standpoint—regarding a tariff-for-rev enue-only—which means free trade, or worse than free trade. We must have government reven ues annually amounting to over $700,- 000,000, ualf of which must come from customs duties —in other words we must so adjust our tariff aa to bring us $35,000,000 from dutlea on Imports. We can do as Great Britain does, tax tea and coffee and other necessaries which we do not produce, or we can lower the duties on competing prod ucts so low that Immense importations will be necessary to produce the de sired revenue. Suppose the average duty were put at 10 per cent. That means, to raiae the necessary $350,000,000 revenue. Importations amounting in value to $3.- 500,000,000 and that does not Include imports free of duty and with a large ly increased free list such as is prom ised or threatened by Champ Clark & Co., we may well put the estimate of imports at $5,000,000,000, a large portion of which will replace or drive out Amorican production. And fur ther bear In inind that 90 per cent, of this represents labor. One-third to one-half or our work ing men are thrown entirely out of work at once, and th») wages of those remaining a) work must be most sub stantially reduced. That loss of pur chasing power hits the farmer who realizes no profits on his year's work, and he stops buying all luxuries and many necessaries. Then the railroads ure affected, and men must be laid off and wages reduced. Then follows the closing of jobbing houses, the failure of merchants and ruin and want in many homes. We thus pay the price —an awful price—for an experience thai might have been avoided. Hut the closing of factories and reduction of wages Is not all that fol lows buying abroad what we can make at home. These gooua must be paid lor, and In gold. Before we buy a dol lar's worth we owe $300,000,000 or $400,000,000 abroad for our freight bills. Interest and dividends on foreign investments and tourists' exchange. An adverse balance of trado then means a drainage of gold, means a scarcity of money, means tho closing of banks and the bankruptcy of cor porations. firms and 1 idlvlduals. It means 1337, 1857, 1871 ami 1893 and worse. lint after a few months, when our foreign competitors have gaiued our markets and closed our uillla, prices will quickly go up, we shall be at tbe mercy of the foreigner We will not buy so much, for suddenly we will have become a poor.

This is no economic doctrine, it is practical result. We have tried it, we have had the real genuine expe rience, not once, but several times. Are we going to try it again? The election on November 8 will tell the tale. A Democratic house of repre sentatives will be the first step, as it was in 1890. Then If we repeat the result of 1892 In 1912 we may look for worse financial and Industrial con ditions than we have ever known. On the other hand the election of a Republican house of representatlres next month means two years more at least of sound stable business condi tions. It means confidence and will ingness to invest. It means work and good wages for all. If it is found that any item or schedule of the tariff is operating to the injury of any indus try or section then it will be changed by protectionists and friends of an ad equate tariff instead of tbosa who threaten to close every custom house in the land. Democrat* Without Btanding. Neither in Maine nor anywhere else has there been anything like a definite statement of what the Demo cratic party stands for. No one has the slightest idea of what is the or thodox Democratic attitude toward even the tariff question. As to the regulation of interstate corporations, the Democrats of both senate and house hare found fault with the Re publicans because they didn't go far enough or fast enough. Champ Clark, of Missouri, marked for the speaker ship If the Democrats control the house, is an old Bryanlte and alto gether out of sympathy with the Cleveland elements in his party. HIB chief political occupation Is to rage against the money powers, and he fills his speeches with denunciation of the "special interests." But this, of course, may be only heat light ning. No one knows, and consequent ly no one can tell. Getting Down to the Facts. "Our Democratic friends are Raying that if the Democratic party cornea into power it would reduce the ex pense of this government $300,000,- 000," says the president. "Do they mean that the Democrats would abol ish the pension list? l)o they mean that they would give up the navy and disband the army? Do they moan that they would abandon Porto Rico and the Philippines? Let us have a little specification. What are such state ments worth unless the details of the expenditures that they criticiso and expect to avoid if they are let into power and become themselvea the national government?" In the Sime Old Plight. Another of those coincidences which so frequently bedevil Iteinocrats is seen In the fn. t that on the same day Senator Owen of Oklahoma was say ing that the Democratic party uinst net rid of hosslsm and stand for the people's rule, MORS Murphy and Uoaa Sullivan were tightening their cinches on the New York and Illinois De mocracy.

Putting Theophlle Braga, the one Portuguese scholar of international reputation, at their head. Is a shrewd move on the part of the revolutionists. It follows the curious Latin fashion of bestowing political power on literary men, but It also declares to Europe that the true men of progress, the men of education and of position, are directing the revolution, and not the street rabble of Lisbon. Among Senhor Braga's colleagues are many college professors, while military and naval men are noticeably absent. Dr. Theophile Braga is a man about fifty-five years old and a graduate of a leading European university. He began the practise of medicine in Lisbon when a young man and has been prominent throughout Portugal for many years past. About three years ago Dr. Braga Identified himself with the intellectual wing of the Republican party and became president of the committee of seven of that organization. In this offlco he wielded great political power, and his undoubted honesty and well-known integrity won many supporters for the party which was destined to obtain control of affairs. He was long associated with Dr. Bernardino Machado, one of the foremost professors of the Lisbon university. LEADS NEW YORK DEMOCRATS I illllll \ \ 1 III 11 .! V/ II Ull John A.

Even prior to that time, In 1906, when William R. Hearst was nominated for governor at Buffalo the name of John A. Dix went before the convention and he received some complimentary votes. Mr. Dix comes of a noted family and is a great-grandnephew of Gen. John A. Dix, former Republican governor of the state, who while serving as secretary of the treasury early in 18€1, issued the famous order, familiar since from ocean to ocean: "If any man attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him on the spot." Mr. Dix is heavily Interested In wall paper fac tories and also In lumbering and banking and has had a successful business career. His work In creating a county chairman's organization won him the nomination for lieutenant governor two years ago. He favored them, and does now, a system whereby the power of the county chairman should be more absolute than at present. After his unsuccessful campaign two years ago Mr. Dix certified to the secretary of state that he contributed $3,983.50 for campaign expenses, of which $2,500 went to the state committee. | IS ESTEEMED BY QUEEN MARY {I!
