The Democratic Program.
In a public address a few days
ago Champ Clark, Democratic lead
er of the House, presented a fore
cast. of what the Democrats propose
to do when they come into power.
"First," he said, "they will re
duce the tar ill' to a revenue basis."
Mr. Clark can speak with authority
respecting the plans of his pariy.
If the Democrats control the House
in the next Congress he undoubted
ly will be elected speaker, and in
that position will direct the enact
ment of legislation.
What the Democratic party real
ly proposes to do is reduce the tar
ill:'. not to a revenue basis, but to a
free trade basis. You readily will
recall what happened the last time
this party engaged in tariff reduc
tion. In 1S!)0 a Democratic House
of Representatives in Congress was
elected, and two years later the
other branch of Congress and the
Presidency was secured by the
Democrats.
With the whole power of legis
letion thus placed in the control of
the Democrats, a panic ensued. It
did not wait for the party to legis
late. The Democrats assailed the
Republican policy of protection as
they do now and as they always
have done. Their declared pur
pose was to reduce duties and to
uproot the whole system. They
then had the power.
The menace was enough to cause
the greatest distress. Business
was suspended, manufactories were
closed up, failures were numerous
and hundreds of thousands ol
working men were thrown out of
employment. A period of suffer
ing ensued which has hardly had
its parallel in Ihe history of the
country. It can never he forgotten
by any of the sufferers who passed
through it.
Under such conditions of busi
ness and industrial depression the
Democrats enacted their threatened
tariff law. It not only did not
help, it made matters worse. The
Democratic tariff was neither a rev-
enue measure nor a business net,
The country continued to suffer un
til William McKinley, the author
of the Republican tariff law which
has been ho viciously misrepresent
ed, was elected President in IS9G.
With a Republican President
and a Republican Congress the
country entered upon a period of
prosperity which has been the won
der of all other lands. Business
activity was resumed everywhere
and in all lines of industry, and
that activity has been continued
under Republican tariff legislation
which has never failed to provide
protection both for the manufactur
er and the wage earner.
Do you want hard times again?
If you do, listen to the Demo
cratic misrepresentations of the
Payne tariff law, which President
Taft says is the best tariff measure
ever put on the statute books, and
restore the Democratic party to
power. That will revive the suf
fering experienced under the last
Democratic administration.
A Card.
M. W. Reeser, Republican can
didate for Representative in As
sembly, was born in Cherre Town
ship, Sullivan County, his grand
parents being among the lirst set
tlers of the County. He has al
ways lived in Sullivan County
excepting a short time spent in
business in Wyoming County, lie
has been actively engaged in farm
ing and lumbering, having been
foreman three years for Jennings
Brothers at Lopez, lie served
15 years as .Justice of the Peace,
being elected shortly after reach
ing his majority, and has also filled
various township offices, serving at
present his second term as Super
visor. lie has a good business ed
ucation and an extensive experience
in business affairs. He is liberal
and broad minded in public mat
ters and has always been closely

cause of education and to assist in
promoting a better manhood and a
nobler womanhood in the commun
ity in which he lives. Should he
be elected he will represent the
whole people of Sullivan County

faction.
A Good Position.
can be had by ambitious young
men and ladies in the lield of

tive, and since the Wireless com
panies are establishing stations
throughout the country there is a
great shortage of telegraphers.
Positions pay beginners from 870
to SiK) per month, with good chance
of advancement. The National
Telegraph Institute operates six
official institutes in America, un
der supervision of R. R. and Wire
less officials and places all gradu
ates into positions. It will pay
