DEMOCRATIC EVASION OF FACTS t c 1 "TV dinner pail is fnll and the tar- t iff is out of it" Thus opsakt the Port- fa land, Oregon, Journal, a Democratic or- I gan. But the Journal need not deceive itself go to the intelligence of its con- I stituency. The business men, the la- g borers, the professional men of the Pa- i cific Northwest went through the period ■ of industrial depression that followed t the inauguration -of the Democratic ad- t ministration and the enactment of its t tariff law which threw American indue- t try into competition with the underpaid c labor of Europe and Asia. With very c few exceptions, the people of that sec- « tion of the -United States can read, and e they have access 'to the official reports e of this administration, showing the t effect of removal of the protective tar- t iff. [c Removal of the protective duty put * Columbia shingles on the roofs I of buildings in the Oregon country, while shingle mills that should have been c employing labor in territory served by 1 the Journal, were idle. The industrial « depression throughout the entire country put an end to railroad hn prove- 1 ments, and curtailed all kinds of build- * with the result that lumber mills ' closed down and their former employes « i ftd in the soup houses of Port- - land and housed in any sort of shelter ' ' that might be ' available. Millions of 1 Chinese eggs came in duty free to cur- , ' tail the markets of Pacific Coast farm- | It is unkind of the Journal to assume ' , that its readers will forget these facts, j It manifests altogether too poor an opinion of their intellectual capacity. It is true that in most parts of the • 1 country- the dinner pail is now full, but j ' readers of he Journal know exactly why ' , it- is full. They know that we had not ' the slightest relief from the depression 1 brought on the Democratic tariff law until the outbreak of the war, which cut , off importations on one hand and gave us new and unprecedented markets for our goods, on the other. The dinner pail is full because of the . European war, and for no other reason. The Journal knows it, and does not dare to print the statistics showing our balances of trade for ten months before and ten months after the outbreak of the war. Publication of those statistics would bring the blush of shame , to anyone who boasts that "the dinner pail is full and the tariff is out of it." "The Republican of Indiana are jubilant over the results of- the primary held in onr state," said Congressman j William R. Wood of the tenth district, to a group °f Republican friends. "It ' 1 means but one thing. We will carry the j state in the elections this fall all along the line. When one stops to reflect : that ii» 1912, the total vote east by the ' Republican party was 151.267, while at : the recent primaries the party polled , 210,000, then the significance of this vote cannot but be most apparent. Especially so. when it is further considered that the Democratic vote dropped from 231,890 in 1912, to 175.000 in the ; primaries of 1916. and the Progressive vote dropped from 162.007 in 1912. to only about 6,000 in the March primaries | of a few days ago. This means that the , Republican party in Indiana i« once '< tnore united and working in harmony, ' - and that past differences have been for- I gotten. It also means that we will I elect a Governor and our state ticket, 2 Republican United .States Senators, and ' 1 ~

house. The primary vote in Indiana is the political barometer for »1«. sai l tine." "If we follow the advice o t President said a Southern member to a group of Democratic brettem^ "than win be obliged to again place oarselves on record as to the falacy of oor tariff policy. Now tomes a proposition to adopt an anti-dumping clause in -onr tariff law. It strikes me that this is an unfortunate thing politically for aa If duties are so low that aa antidumping clause becomes necessary, then centainly admit by such action that tariff bill is against the best interests of the American manufacturer and - the American working man. Such ao- . tion can only lead the voters to the con- , elusion that we have made a and that the policy of the Republican party is right and we are wrong." "Just keep your eye on Illinois in the campaign of 1916," said Reprcsentaive E. Wheeler, the hustling Representative from the twenty-first district. "We will roll up an old time Republican majority for the whole ticket and maks another gain in the congressional districts. Our party is- united and the votwill speak in no uncertain tones in November next If the other states in this Union will keep psoe with Illinois, there will be no doubt about the outJ IN CHANCERY OF NEW JERSEY.
