A political broadside argues against the Underwood tariff and a new war tax, claiming Democrats caused increased costs and a higher government expense. It asserts voters will back Republican candidates in the upcoming Tuesday election, citing economic strain and mismanagement.
The writer argues that if a special revenue tax tied to war is not a failed tariff, the proper move is a moratorium. In distress wartime, relief for people should come before added burdens. The Republican remedy is a tariff bill balancing revenue and expenditure. The moratorium is seen as a Democratic-leaning tactic linked to free trade.
The article argues that the democratic tariff raises prices for meat and cattle in North Dakota. It contends Canadian cattle enter duty free, packing houses ship dressed beef, and farmers receive less for their cattle while paying more for meat. It urges voters to elect Democrats in November.
An American Economist urges voters to recall wartime policy, warning that postwar tariff cuts would harm mills and workers. He contrasts Gerard and Wadsworth positions on tariffs and freetrade, arguing for a return to protective policy to sustain prosperity.

A poem comments on a local good roads booster culture. It notes the annual Banquet of the Feeding Boosters held near year end, praising energetic individuals who promote growth by communal meals. The piece blends humor about appetite with town boosterism.
In a sharp critique the writer mocks town boosters who push grand, impractical projects. They promise big gains but offer little real progress, relying on bluster to drum up public support while feeding a local market for cheap goods and cigars.
Five hundred workers lose jobs as Mills and Windham Silk Company cut hours amid slump following the new Democratic tariff law. The scene is described as a temporary shutdown with reduced working time and no immediate reopening.
A Boston reader argues that under a Democratic tariff policy living costs would fall. The letter cites sugar and beef as examples and questions if current prices, beef imports, and general goods costs have decreased since the Underwood Wilson Tariff bill. It asks if employment has risen and urges reflection before voting.
The article notes that a slide in the Culebra Cut blocks the canal briefly but is not a disaster. Colonel Goethals and engineers say slides are expected as banks shift after excavation and dredges will remove fallen rock, with only temporary channel closure expected.
