DEMOCRACY OPTIMISTIC.
Dem. —I'll have enough to till both coops.
Uncle Sam —H'm, I wouldn't count your chickens before they're hatched.
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. Incoiuelvss peo

as we have anything with which to
pay. 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.

PRESIDENT OF PORTUGAL
lllini M)) MHI Theophlle Braga, provisional president of Por
| 1 j I tugal. in an Interview, emphasizes what he call*
I / the "P^' los °P^ ,ca '" source of the revolution.
The men who have been spreading the doc
\ wi tr,nes °t republicanism, he says, are professors,
IF mathematicians, writers and generally men of
learning. The result, he thinks, 18, first of all, a

From the names announced of the provisional
government the "intellectuals," tho Idealist republicans who dream of making
Portugal worthy of her former glory, have carried through this movement,
or at. any rate are for the moment in control. 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. Dix, the Democratic nominee for gov
')/ i ( ernor in New York, is a prosperous business man
)( I anc * lntere3 * e d ' n various corporations. He was
j j//1 JEfy) born at Glens Falls In 1860. He was educated at
u' IK/,, W the academy there, and entered Cornell university
ijj ( J in the class of 1883, but left in his Junior year. In
)i he married Miss Gertrude Allen Thomson,
(\ the daughter of a lumber merchant. He began

UlYjjßgl \ / Reynolds & Dix, dealers in black marble, and
rW"' 5 Aj later became associated with Lemont Thomson
\wvlMxa&l' If) in the lumber business.
(w '/((( Mr. Dix is not unfamiliar with politics, how
■X l ever, being chairman of the Democratic state
Bk a ( committee and a former candidate for lieutenant-
MBfiV t iWff/Jlmh governor, when he ran with Lewis Stuyvesant
Chanler in 1908. 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.
