MAKING EVERYBODY POORER

In its national platform the Demo
cratic party has pledged itself to de-
stroy the protective system not only
because ii holds that system TO be
unconstitutional but because it be-
lieves that II works to the injury OF
American industry and labor. Accord
ing to the platform, the present system
makes the rich richer and the poor
poorer: under its operations the
american farmer and laboring man
ARE the chief sufferers The only
way in which a tariff system could
seriously injurc the farmer and the
laboring man would be by limiting
their economic opportunity. restricting
the demand for the products of their
labor and reducing their wages as
result Of general fall IN selling
values. There is no evidence what
soever that the protective system IS
doing this On the contrary. there is
abundant evidence that it is maintain
Ing wages and the demand for prod
ucts at high level, increasing trade.
widening and diversifying the demand
for labor and constantly opening new
outlets for the profitable distribution
of what the country produces in ex-
cess of its own needs.
The summary Of our foreign COM
merce for the fiscal year 1911-12, just
issued by the Bureau Of Statistics OF
the Department Of Commerce ana
Labor. furnishes q striking refutat1on
of the charge that the protective sys-
tenn restricts the opportunities and re-
turns Of labor. In the year just ended
American exports have broken all rec
ords. The export trade. the growth OF
which necessarily testifies to a larger
and larger employment of labor at
home. has now reached the annual
value of 81, 2O4, 100000. 1t used to he
the favorite contention of Democratic
platform makers during the Cleveland
era that under a high tariff our eX-
ports could not possibly expand, be-
cause if we did not admit foreign
goods freely foreign counties would
/ refuse to buy from us. But since the
7 close of Mr.. Cleveland's second admin
istration the annual value OF our ex-
ports has risen from S1,056,O 100000 to
So. 204. 600 900, and in the latter total
are included only 1914 100000 Of agri-
cultural products, which used TO con-
stitute from two-thirds to three
fourtbs Of our entire export trade
The ability Of the United States to
sell abroad in single year surplus
products worth 50 ,2O4 100000 is a re-
markable testimonial TO the efficiency
of our present economic system. 1t Is
one of the chief causes Of high wages
and easy employment here. The Demo
cratic party is pledged to do its best
TO remove that cause by checking pro-
duction and compelling American man
ufacturers not only to abandon the for
eign market which they have built up,
but to submit to crushing foreign COM
petition all along the line at home.
The Baltimore platform makers say
that the protective system "makes the
rich richer and the poor poorer" But
they are planning to make everybody
poorer. Those who vote for Demo
cratic President and a Democratic
Congress ought to realize that they are
trying to reduce the cost of living by
recklessly curtailing the ability Of the
community to buy.

Notable
Distributors i'm the State

1t must be a source of
pride to all Newarkers to
have within the citys con-
fines such a powerful insti-
tuition, noted, as it is, from
coast to coast for its mer-
camille achievements.
Why is Newark the mar
vel of the dry-goods trade of
the United States?
Because right here, in the
shadow of the greatest stores in
the world, Hahne & Co. have had
the courage to build a store just
as big as most of those in the
metropolis-just as wonderful in
its presentation of stocks-just
as powerful in making prices.
Merchants everywhere have
realized what it meant to plant
here such an establishment as
this. They know what it meant
to blaze such a broad trail that
none need fear to follow. They
know what it must haveScost in
courage to do the thing that
would place this city on the mer-
camille map of the nation.
The building of this store was
the forerunner of practically all
the great buildings Newark now
possesses. 1t was an example,
model, and it has made it easier,
made it safe, for others to follow
in the same footsteps.

proposition to practically present to every pur-

Once but a mere speck on
the city map, now a mighty
monument to the city's en-
terprise, the Hahne & Co.
Store justly celebrates its
birthdays-and right now it
is in the midst of the ami
versary of the ffty-fourth.
Looking back to the little
Bird Store of hfty-four
years ago we are reminded
that we have grown tremen-
dously.
When we think that 900
square feet suficed for the
business when it was begun,
and that now 633,500 square
feet is the aggregate space
required, and still does not
give us ample elbow room,
we can scarcely comprehend
the momentum this great
business has attained.
All intelligent people
know that a business such
as this could not have en-
dured throughout these hf-
ty-four years had it not been
of service to the community,
had it not successfully met
all competition and meas
ured up to the fullest ex-
pectations of the public.

But with these revised figures there

Hope clung desperately to the belief
that the steamers Virginian and Pari-
sian of the Allan line may have picked
up survivors in addition to those on
board the Carpathia, but this practical
ly was dispelled when the Sable Island
wireless reported that the Partisan
had no survivors on board, and when
the offices of the Allan line in Mon
treal issued a statement that the cap
tain of the Virginian had sent them a
wireless message saying he had "ar-
rived at the scene of the disaster too
late to be of service
The Virginian has proceeded on her
way for Europe.
The Carpathia, having on board the
only survivors accounted for, is com.

ENTIRE WORLD OVER.
WHELMED BY NEWS.

London, Paris and New York are
overwhelmed by the news of the dis
aster fearful crowds of relatives and
friends of passengers on board the
Titanic thronged the steamship offices
In all three cities, waiting hour after
hour for news that more often than
not when 1t does come means bereave-
ment and sorrow. People in Paris and
London went to bed in the belief that
all the passengers on board the Ii
tanic had been saved; morning
brought them the appalling truth.
OF the survivors on board the Car
pathia by far the largest number are
women and children.
Many men OF great prominence on
two continents are among the miss
ing. No word has been received of
Colonel John Jacob Astor. his wife,
however. has been saved. Alfred Van
derbilt was not on board the Titanic
as first reported. He is i'll London.
Isador Straus, the New York million
aire merchant and philanthropist. who
was on board. has not been reported
among the survivors. Major Archi'
bald w. I. Butt, personal aide to Presi.

MOST OF THOSE SAVED
women And CHILDREN
Many Of the Men Passengers
and Practically the En-
tire Grew Perished.

New York, April 1.-THE appalling
magnitude of the wreck of the giant
liner Titanic has been but little miti
gated by the fragmentary information
which has filtered in.
The rescuing steamer Carpathia has
S6S survivors on board, according to
the latest news received at the offices
of the White Star line in this city.
This increases the list of saved by
about 200 from the number first re-
ported. But except for this the favor
able details are insignificant COM
pared with the supreme fact that the
Titanic is at the bottom of the At
lantic and that the shattered wreck
took with her about 1850 victims to
their death.
The first reports giving the total
survivors at 675 were varied by more
favorable news, first from Captain
Rostron of the Carpathia, who gave
the number at about 800, and later by
the positive announcement of the
White Star line that there are 1858 sur
vivors of the Titanic on board the
Carpathia
