1t is quite clear that We consume far less
iron and far less cotton goods than we did

growth OF population, and that therefore
the Tariff of 1916, instead of increasing
the facility of obtaining machinery aud
clothing, has greatly diminished 1t. Equally
clear is it that the consumption OF both cot
ton goods and iron increased from 1913 to
II with wonderful rapIdity, and that there
fore the Tariff of 1912 had completely at
tanned the object for the accomplishment of
which it was passed-that OF facilitating the
acquisition OF clothing and machlnery-and

power of consumption, has diminished and
is diminishing under the Tariff of 1916.

Tennessee.

The careful student of American Elec-
ton Returns must have been struck with
the general though not uniform recurrence
of these facts-that whenever the popular
interest in the result is languid, the public
mind distracted by personal and local teuds,
and the vote partial and diminished the
party claiming to be Democratic is very
certain to claim a victory; but let the con-
test be spirited, the public interest concen-
trated on the main questions OF principle or
policy which practically divide the two
great parties, and the vote an increased
or full one, and the triumph will
generally mot uniformity enure to the
Wings. Thus Democratic victory
IS now claimed IN Kentucky, where the
adoption of New Constitution has tenn
porarllv divided and disorganlzed the
Wings. while it has united and lnsplr,ted
their adyersaries-sald victory, when ana
lived, appearing to amount Just to this, that
more Wings than Democrats stald away
from the polls, while some of those who at
tended, under the influence of personal and
local feelings. either withheld their votes
entirely except as to a few offices or gave
them outright for part of the Loco-toco
candidates. so that, while most of the
Wing candidates for State Offices are hand
somely elected, with a Wing Legislature,
divisions and apathy have defeated the
Whio candidate for Governor and thrown
away several Members Of Congress. The
I,oco-F oco gam is in fact a loss on the pop
uIar vote. but loss less considerable than
that of the Wings.
TENNESSEE affords an example OF the
other truth above stated There the late
contest was fairly fought on the great issues
which have long divided the two parties
The State was ably and thoroughly can
vassed, the public interestwas fully aroused,
and the result IS largely increased vote
and 2 decided Wing triumph. The Loco
FocO Governor OF 1919 has been Ousted ny
his Wing competitor, a corresponding reyo-
luton effected in the Legislature (both
branches). ensuring Wing u. 5. Senator
for six years ensuing in place Of Hopkins L..
Turney (who was beaten as candidate Tor
the Legislature,) and one Wing gam IN the
delegation to the House. Had the vote
been as light, local distractions as prevalent,
and the public interest as languid here as In
Kentucky, we doubt not the resl.t would
have been as disastrous.
We append table OF the vote Tor Gov
erpor in the Counties from which We have
returns. in order that our readers may see
why and how the Wings carried the State.

A Hard Case.

Hon. Robert TooMBs. NJ c. of Georgia.
formerly a Wing, is now one Of the most
prominent and influential leaders of the new
Union party, having given an early pledge
of his adhesion to its principles by opposing
and defeating Mr.. Winthrop, the Wing can
didate for Speaker of the late House. and
thus securing the election OF his brother
Unionist, Howell Cobb, now L MON can
didate for Governor of Georgia. Mr.
Toombs has recently issued Unisn
manifesto. in which he claims pro-Slayery
triumph in the Compromise legislation of
the last Congress, but speaks of the future
as follows
"Thoueh utterly defeated IN this great conflict. the
Antl-Slavery sentiment Is yet dangerous and iof-
mldable element IN American politics. Its acknOwl-
edged exponent IS the Free>Oil party. but i i als)
yirulent and dangerous both IN the Wing and Demo
cratic parties Al the North The Wing party hS
succumbed 10 It, and Il controls the organization CT
that party IN every non-savehOldlng state IN the
Union II i thoroughly denatlonailzed and secuol-
alzed by II, and Will never make another nauoha
contest The Wing party Of the South VIII neVG
meet the Stewards, and Winthrops, and NintOns. and
Johnstons, and BaldwIns, of the North, IN anothef
National Convention. We are indebted to the ne,
feat OF the policy OF these men for the existence OF
the Government this day We shall trust them ~
more"
Now, while it does not greatly dis
tress US to hear that Mr.. TOombs and his
friends will never meet Northern Wings in
another National Convention, seeing that
they came into the last expressly and
avowedly Oh the platform of acquiesclng in
its decision if it accorded with their own
wishes and boiling if it did not-we must
say that We don't consider the above quite
the fair thing. Gov Johnston, who is SIN
gled out for denunciatiOn by Mr.. I. as one
of those with whom the Southern Wings
can never more associate, is the very
man whose personal eXertlons and public
speeches did more than those of any other
man in the Union to secure the election of
Taylor and Fillmore Mr. Winthrop has
Just been ousted from the Senate by Goa
liton of Democracy and Free Soil
averring that he was too pro-Slayery in his
views and feelings to be a fit representa-
tive of Massachusetts, so that, while he
was not enough pro-Slayery for Speaker,
he was too much so for Senator. Mr..
Baldwin has likewise been just defeated
for Senator because the Free Sollers of
Connecticut, who might easily have Sc
cured his return by voting for Members
of the Legislature friendly to him, saw fit
to throw away their votes. and thus permit
Loco FocOs to be elected And MIR. VIM
ton. who Is also included in Mr.. Toombs's
ban. IS now threatened with defeat for
Governor of Ohio by the opposition of the
Giddings and Chase Free Sollers OF that
State, who prefer the success of Cass
Loco Foco. Is not Mr.. Toombs gentle
man rather hard to please Or is 1t Mr..
Glddings who is too nice for any but
small party ?

The first period was one in which we
were buying goods on credit, and there was
then, as now, every reason to believe that,
with the decline of credit, the power of pur-
chase would pass away-and such proved to
be the case. The second was one in which
we were paving oil back interest and back
debts. and to accomplish that object required
very many millions that would otherwise
have been applied to the purchase of mer-
chandise for consumption; and yet the
quantity sent West In 1916 was almost nifty
per cent greater than was purchased by the
crops Of 1910 and lSil-and the purchases
made with she crop of 1916 were more than
double those made with the crop of 1911.
Trade. therefore, grew steadily with pro-
lection. as it had declined under British
Free Trade.
We invite our friends of The Journal Of
Commerce and of The Post, to explain
why it was that trade was 50 small IN the
free trade times of 1910 and ISil-why 1t
was that it was no greater in 1912 than II
had been seven years beforehand why 1t
was that the crop OF 1915 purchased
almost fifty per cent more than that of 1912.
