THE ISSUE IN MASSACHUSETTS. ; With a single exception, Massachu setts Is the only Slate that will choose a full ticket this year. This election ' will be held tomorrow, the issues are ' clear-cut, the ascerbities of debate ..- have everywhere been observed, and the warring factions are agreed upon only one point: that the struggle is of nation-wi'ie importance. Foss, the Democrat who is seeking re-election as Governor, is making some effort to emphasize State Issues, but the tar- iff has really been paramounted and , Frothlngham, the Republican nomi nee, is telling his followers that now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party, since a Presiden tial election is Impending. The Bay State is therefore called upon the pass Judgment upon the doings of a Dem- . ocratlc and Insurgent congress, and upon the wisdom of President Taft in nullifying the Important things done by that Congress, especially in the matter of vetoing the tariff bills. As one writer puts It: "The verdict may vitally affect the action of con gress during the coming session and influence the still more vftal Presi dential election of the coming yt-ar." The Democrats, in their platform, approved of the tariff bills passed by the Democrats during the last con gress, while tho KcnuliIIrans disap proved of those li Is. this disapprov al taking the form of a campaign doc ument which we believe a great many people will have an interest In read ing: To understand the cotton bill we must resort to a comparison. The au thors of the Wilson tariff of 1894 were Democrats, but they were not rabid haters of New Englana. Thev believed that the existing McKinley tariff was too high. They reduced the cotton with the other schedules of that law not singling any state or section out for vengeful sacrifice. They even con sulted New England manufacturers listening to them v.ith resp.ct and courtesy, and having heard them, .Mr Wilson and fits' colleagues , t the rut ton duties at an average of x per ent. That was in 1HIM. before Hie curse of Hryanism and the poison of sectional hate had shrivelled Demu rrants statesmanship. How is It in 1911? The southern western tariff makers curtly deellned to grant an audience to or to receive a word from American cotton manu facturers. Hut they did hear the agents of European mills. These were the "experts" whose views pervalled In the cotton bill, which ruthlessly cut the average of duty to 27 per cent., or somewhat more than one-half , of the rate fixed by Wilson and his associates as a just and reasonable measure. Ho with the woolen bill. In 1804 Wilson made raw woo! duty free and gave manufactures a net average pro tection of 47 per cent. In practice that rate, reduced by foreign under valuations, proved too low. Our wool- 2L"5!?.U T C""M"1 Th chan cost Massachusetts millions of dollars But the motley bll which George Fred Williams now "commends" by shifts and evasions leave, the actual duty on UFolle himself claims "pretty nearly" as high as Ti.

For 200 years the business of mak ing leather and shoes have been one ' of the.corncrstanes of the State's pros perity. In the boot and shoe branch of the Industry In Massachusetts there . are more than four hundred shoe fac-, torles representing an invested capital of 135,000,000 and producing about , $170,000,000 Worth of footwear? These factories employ between 70,000 and 80,000 operatives, men and women, and the amount of wages paid is abbut $40,000,000 annually. Counting ' the tanneries, last making establish ments, shoe machinery plants and various kindred industries, not less than 100.000 workers find employ- J ment in this Massachusetts industry. The shoe makers labor unions of the State and all Interested in the indus try protested that the Democratic bill would wreck this great business ' and reduce wages to those paid in foreign countries. All the Democratic tariff bills are. similarly attacked by the Republicans, . who proclaim in their platform: The country is under obligation to President Taft for the progress he has made toward reasonable and scientific revision of the tariff, a principle for which the Republican party has long contended. I The advocacy and appointment of a non-partisan commission or able men to secure and make available the facts necessary to intelligent revision of the various schedules is a long step toward the greatly to be desired end of removing the tariff from politics. We are not standpatters or reactiona ries. It Is and always has been Re publican doctrine that the tariff schedules should be revised from time to time, so as to reduce duties where It could be done without dispropor tionate injury. " It has never been, and it not now,. the Republican doctrine to abandon the protective p'icy or to readjust schedules In accordance with general theories In disregard of business facts. We have before declared, and do now again declare, in favor or a downward revision of schedules that have become either outworn or op pressive instead of protective, but we are not in favor of crude and hap hazard revision, which, while fn the ory reducing rates of duty, in fact re sults In crippling or destroying estab lished and useful Industries. This campaign document will be perused with Interest for a variety of reasons. We have an Idea Its pater nity could easily be traced to the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge. It will be ob served that it formally declares in favor of the downward revision of the tariff in certain particulars, which rather indicates that the astute Lodge has been making a virtue of necessi ty. Koss would probably have never been Governor of Massachusetts had not Lodge taken the position following the last National convention of his party, an attitude that astounded Democrats and grieved many Repub licans, that the platform had not pledged him to either downward or upward revision of the tariff. THE LAYMEN'S MOVEMENT AND MISSIONS. The Laymen's Missionary Move ment is an organized effort resulting from a quickening of lay inluivist In th? cause of missions Jn 1907. It held, as will be remembered, a great series of missionary conventions throughout the country, covering the principal cities, between the autumn of 1909 and May of last year. The increase in missionary giving In 21 societies, since 1901, amounts to $.r.,929.48S, a considerable propor tion of it in recent years. Some e nominational statistics are Baptist, advanced from $981,000 to $1,681,000; 'ongregational from $1,401,000 to $1,777,038; Disciple, from $461,000 to $94.1.000; Episcopal from $697,370 to $1 107.000; Lutheran from $251,000 to 5 12.000: Methodists from $1,894,227 to $3,972,000 (September and Octo ber estimated); Presbyterian from from $1,681,000 to $2,811,000, and Reformed Church, Dutch brand, from 2r,9,600 to $451,000. The laymen's movement expect that much greater things will be accom plished in the Immediate future. It is hardly more than a year since their organisation began effective work, much of the time being devoted to a broad and thorough preparation. Es timates of amounts going to missions In foreign fields from all America and Canada, all Protestant bodies, Is $11,000,000 a year, a gain of $1,000, 000 last year, and to horn fields In the United States alone, $40,000,000. An estimate of amounts given direct ly for maintenance for Christian work In America, all bodies, 1 $315,000, 000 a year.

With Vacant Editor of The Gazette-News: "If a mart, living right in the heart of Asheville, can produce on half an acre all the vegetables he needs an rail $500 worth' besides, in a season, how much profit is there in complain ing about hard times? An unusued copy of the Congressional Record will be given for the best answer." Referring to the above editorial of yours in yesterday's Gazette-News, Mr. Editor, I regret my inability to anower the above question, and there- ty capture tne valuable prize you so freely offer, but seriously speaking, your statement of fact leads me to humbly say, that If all owners of va cant lots and land in the corporate limits of Asheville would allow and offer the free use of them to the As sociated Charities, and If the Associ ated Charities would control by prop er system the use of these lots and promote their cultivation by ' the needy and deserving, the great bulk of the Involuntary poverty In Vour midst would be cured, and much work and many heartache" would be saved the charity organization and the people of this community. Mr. Editor, a return question: If one- man can raise endugh for his family and make a profit of $500 on one-half of an acre of ground, how much can 10 men raise on an average of one-fourth of an acre each if they had the opportunity?
