At time when the recent financial
pinch is being used as an election ar
gument it may be pertinent to point
out that the United States is not the
only country in the world which
has suffered an Industrial depression
since the beginning of the year. Eng
land has suffered from the effects of
moody market conditions more than
ordinarily, and for six months there
has been really serious economic
depression throughout Germany In
the latter country especially this
cannot be attributed to the fault
of any political party. 1t may be
vague, but it is probably fair that
in our case also the market slump
has not been due to the policies of
any party. What caused it unless it
might have been underground wire
pulling by certain great industrial
forces with full intent, as has been
charged, it is pretty difficult to say.
But industrial depressions some
times act like seismic waves; they
come, they go, undulating from one
country to another, and no one may
say why nor how nor where
Germany's economic trouble has
expressed itself in somewhat the
same terms as ours used Her ex-
ports increased her imports dimfn-
ished. Her merchants were anxious
to sell, but they hesitated to buy. Her
masses ceased nibbling at luxuries
and contented themselves with plain
er fare To the student of CONNER
cial conditions it is interesting to
note that during the period of de-
preston the Germans imported less
foodstuffs by far than they have in
many years 1t might be supposed
that they ate less also-but this does
not follow, as it would in the United
States. 1t means that the coarse
products raised at home were con-
sumed instead of the fined food
stuffs from other countries. Ger
many, with her immense population
and her limited area of not very fer
tile land, has never been able to feed
her people with choice products from
her own fields. She has been com

There is no doubt that the leaders
of the Republican organization in
New York and the leaders who domi-
nate the policy of the party outside of
New York Were aline ayerse to the
denomination of Governor Hughes.
There is just as little doubt that the
great majority of the voters of the
party desired his denomination, The
lesser politicians sonspired to de-
feat him. The larger politicians.
headed by President Roosevelt, had
the wit to fall in behind him when
they found, after assiduous study,
that to adopt any other course would
be periIous to the party ascendency
both in the State and in the country
at large.
hTe nomination. so effected, brings
about a very peculiar situation. Coy
ernor Hughes will make his battle
for reelection loaded with the ami
mostly of the riffraff of his party
and with the jealousy of it's mana
gers How will he fare under such
circumstances? Can he depend upon
the cohensive quality of partisanship
in a year when the political control
of the whole Union is at stake, to keel
his sworn enemies in line with his
friends2 The problem would have
been of easier solution if the warning
elements in the ranks of the New
York Democracy had not been able
to bring about an apparent reconcil-
iation. With the opposition present

Several clergymen and others rep
resenting the Law and Order League
in Savannah called on Mayor
Tiedeman the other day and request
ed him to close up the blind tigers.
The committee intimated that the

erous and too bold. We really do not
see how there can be any blind tt
gers" in Savannah. The business has
been Iegalized by the city government,

luXuries which she needed. In times
of depression her people, who had
cultivated a taste for white bread,
would go back to the cheaper black
bread of less prosperous days, and
this fact is typical of the situation OF
the nation. In America we would
simply eat less white bread This
difference in the national Characters
tics of the two peoples is probably
responsible for the fact that, al

Conservatively democratic may be
the proper name to apply to the Phil
adelphia Record, so far as claiming
goes. 1t started the campaign with
serious doubts as to the party having
the remotest chance of electing it's
national ticket. Now it says: "The
Jimmy Shermans will pass. The land
will remain, and the nation will con-
tinue to wax great and prosper as
long as grass grows and water runs.
Meantime present indications point
to a season of political upheayal. If
Mr.. Bryan lives he will probably be
the next president. At one time the
Record did not think he could be
elected. 1t has changed it's mind"

According to the government re-
port wages increased last year three
and seven tenths per cent. while the
retail prices of food were four and
two-tenths higher. The increase of
wages has not kept pace with the in
creased cost of living for some years
past, hence the difficulty in making
both ends meet in the average work
ingman's home. 1t will always be
thus as long as manufacturers base
their profits on the high tariff they
secure from the Republican party and
food trusts of all kinds flourish under
the administration of public affairs by
that party.
