We heartily indorse and approve tha record of our distinguished senators sena-tors and representatives In congress and tho present Stato administration. The Democratic party rode into national na-tional promlnonco upon a pledged ra' ductlou of tho tariff and a promised decrenso In tho cost of living to tho American citizens. Today wo bco them fulfilling this pledgo by lovy-Ing lovy-Ing n war tax In tho time of peace, and Imposing n Internal revenue tax upon commodities In common use to supply tho fund and meet tho demands de-mands ot tho most extravagant congress con-gress known to our national history. Under normal conditions the foreign manufacturer and snipper pay a big part of the costs to maintain our national government; today tho laborer, la-borer, farmer and business men .of tho United States are to supply the deficiency by means ot special taxation, tax-ation, and tho cost of living Is higher high-er than It has ever been, The free trade program ot tho national na-tional administration hag turned, tho balanco of trade against us; It has prostituted business confidence and prosperity. We recognize that the sugar industry indus-try and the' condensed (mllk Industry nro tuo ot the greatest sources ot revenuo to Cache County and that as a direct result ot these industries, land values have been greatly enhanced en-hanced and employment has been furnished fur-nished to thousands ot citizens.

Tbo sugar schedulo ot tho Underwood Under-wood tariff bill has demoralized the sugar industry In many parts of the United States, and the reduction provided pro-vided for In this schedulo If permitted permit-ted to go into effect will ultimately ruin tho industry Instils locality. It Is noteworthy that the reduction of the tariff upon dairy products has resulted In extensive Importation of such products and has demoralized the market for theso commodities, and Jeopardizes the future of the condensed con-densed milk Industry. Wo ro-alurm our nlloglanco to the great principles of protection to American Industries and to American labor.

Wo condemn the partisan attitudo of tho Democratic members ot the Board ot County Commissioners In appointing Democratic registration agents In Republican precincts In wilful disregard to law and also for their unfair and sectional distribution ot public funds and public Improvements. Improve-ments.
