WHEN BUSINESS is GOOD.

1t is no new thing in this country to
find that when our wage-earnerS are
at work and business consequently is
good there is a demand for foreign as
well as for domestic products, for
when everybody is making money
everybody can and does buy literally.
When a Wilson law closes American
mills and factories, it seems at first a
fire bargain for Americans with
pockets we'll supplied by home indus
tries to be able to buy cheaply. But
when the pockets are emptied and no
more earnings drop into them because
our own industries are no longer pay
ing wages, it ceases to be such a fine
thing. We had that experience when
we repealed the Mckinley law, which
had increased the purchasing power of
everybody. We should have a repeti-
ton of it if we were to make similar
mistake with the Dingley law.-NeW
York Press.
