OH, MOI WE NEEDN'T Be EXPERTS

Those newspapers which compelled to defend the
new tariff law arc getting their topsas reeied in antepa-
ton OF a squall
They say that the law is revision downward
"rue" they say enemies Of society and other undeslr.
ahs will he able to twist the figures to make appear that
there have been reductions but only experts unraeel
the mysteries OF the schedules and the percentages
oh no one need not be an expert to know EXACTLY
whether the new tariff is good OF bad
The people OF the United States complained for some
years that PRICES Of necessities were GOING up faster
than wages
They complained that trusts multiplying and in
ereasine in power,
Both the republican and democratic parties promised, Il
elected revise the tariff that this state Of affairs would
be stopped,
Now we need be experts find whether the
tariff bill iulhls the promise.
Here is the simple test;
Ii between now and 1912 WAGES GO UP faster than
the price Of shoes and stockings and bread and and
clothes and eoaihen the tariff has been revised DOWN
II between and 1912 the trusts shrive and poverty
decreases-then the tariff has been revised DOWN
II you have less left in your pay envelope after paying
the weeks bills, then the tariff has been revised UP.
Ii labor forced by and the cost Of living
is higher and hgherthen the tariff has been revised UP
And you don't need to be a expert study any
Schedules before you your 0year-od daughter tell
whether YOU the OTHER FELLOW got the best OF this
tariff bill
The pay envelope and the family expense account will
answer the question any day.

NEW PLAN MEANS STRICTER
SUPERVISION OF BANKS.

CoC,I result will be accomplished by
the plan of Lawrence o. Murray, comp
t1oller of the currency, 20 compel all of
the seven thousand national banks in
the country 10 hold directors meetings

This plan VII tend to compel direc-
tors to give close supervision to the
affairs Of the various banks with which
they are connected. II will impress
them with a proper sense of response

recently in nearby communities was
attributable mainly 10 the failure of
directors TO direct.
1t is to the credit Of the banking

ING SYSTEM.

The reports obtained by the National
Monetary Commission from all classes
of banks in the United States shed an
interesting light on the proportions Of
our banking system, and the nature Of
the resources and liabilities Of the
banks The Wall Street Journal has
made an interesting analysis of these
reports, when elbows that the commits
SION has actual figures from 22,49I
banks. including State, private, and
savings banks. and loan ard trust com
panies The total resources shown by
reporting banks has increased from
$I7,O41 ,ll3 AS. as shown by the comp
trollec's report for 1908, TO $2l ,O95,O54,
42O, according to the special reports
TO the commission at the close Of bust
ness April Is, 1909.
1t Is shown from analysis of the re-
ports that there is III the resources of

no one looking at the figures of re-

HOW THE OPEN DOOR IS VIO-
LATED IN MANCHURIA.

The State Department only a few
weeks ago strongly insisted in a state
ment that Japan was not violating the
open door in Manchuria That state
ment did not carry conviction at the
time to anyone familiar with the Man
churian situation. Now the department
is placed in a curious light by a report
Of Vice Consul General Cloud, of Aiuk-
den. Mr.. Cloud presents a strong show
ing of facts to prove that Japanese
merchants are being allowed TO get
their goods into Manchuria without
payment of duties. If his version of the
situation is right, then the so-called
open door is not worth the space that
has been devoted to its discussion. and
American officials who have had the
wool pulled over their eyes in this mat
ter will do well 20 take pains to acquire
a better understanding Of conditions.
Mr.. Cloud, after reviewing the Gus
toms returns and discussing the con-
sumption of foreign goods in Japan, in
China, and in Manchuria, says:
The inevitable conclusion OF the
matter is that foreign goods in no in
considerable, and, as compared with
previous years. increasing quantities
are being brought into Manchuria via
Dainy and the South Manchurian rail-
way duty free. These goods are en-
tered and cleared for consumption in
Dalny and the leased territory. and
thus avoid the payment Of import
duties. II Is obvious that goods thus
imported have a great adVantag e over
similar goods which have been re-
quired 10 pay duties.
in addition to this it appears that
japanese merchants are getting other
advantages. For instance, Japan is
advancing money at low rate to aid
foreign trade. It is also giving prefer
entail freight rates and other discrimi-
nations. The inevitable is happening.
American merchants are finding their
trade in Manchuria dwindling and
merchants Of other countries, aside
from Japan, are complaining. The open
door has already ceased TO be except as
a piece of diplomatic fiction.
Japan has Manchuria's trade in her
grasp, and means TO keep it, and there
is no indication that this Government
intends 10 do otherwise than acquicsce.
