the consumers of the country are 70
get none of the benefit which should
come from the lower cost at the
wharf of these imported articles,
what reason is there TO believe that
they will get any advantage from
similar importations which will come
in more gradually?
The fallacy of this argument about
tariff reductions bringing down
prices in the absence of general de-
preston lies in it's foolish assumption
that the distributive system of the
country bases price upon cost of pro-
duction and distribution, rather than
upon what the traffic will bear. With
apples rotting in the field in sight of
the cities, and with apples in the
cities selling at big prces, it ought
to be clear to the man who stops 10
think a minute that the mere fact
that an importer can buy an article
cheaper abroad than the American
jobber or wholesaler can buy it at
the American factory door, does not
necessarily mean that the saving will
be passed on to the ultimate con-
sumner. If experience teaches any,
thing, all the slack will be taken up
before the consumer is reached. The
rule, in the absence of corrective
measures, either public or private,
applied to the abuses and ineffi-
ciencies of distribution, will be to
continue to uharge what the traffic
will bear.
There is no possibility whatever Of
any relief for the ultimate consumer
Through the new tariff law. In a few
months everybody will know this.

THE COUNTRY'S RIGHT.

The country has right to expect
congress TO sustain the president
when the two branches of government
are in political harmony. So far
President Wilson seems to have the
support of the democratic majority in
the house and senate, surprising as it
may seem. If alleged friends oil
former President Taft in congress
had carried out the many excellent
recommendations that emanated from
the white house while the republican
party was in control the recent po-

have been -Crawfordsvill

AMEN TWO TIMES.

So long have newspapers been the
butt of English teachers, because in
the rush of going to press grammati-

which there is no excuse on the
ground of legitimate rush

THE MASTER HUMBUG.

After having been told for years
that the Infamous Payne-Aldrich
law and it's predecessors, the Ding
ley and Mckinley laws, were the
cause of the high cost of living, and
that such a law as has just been pass
ed, would bring prices down, we are
now told by Chairman Underwood
that the Payne-Aldrich law will ex-
ercise such post norton effect that
we cannot expect any relief from
high prices for some months" pre-
sumably until after the end of the
next congressional campaign says the
Muncie Press.
in the matter of prices, why not now
A hundred million dollars worth Of
imports were in the New York ware
houses when it passed and are now
being thrown upon the American
market, to the displacement of a
similar quantity of American made
goods. Nothing now stands in the
way of additional importations OF
similar character. If prices are to be
reduced through competition, there
will never be another period in which
q greater quantity of goods will come

MORE LOSSES FOR PROGREssIvEs

In the Connecticut town elections
Progressive vote that has been noted
in other parts of the country was re-
corded. The Republicans showed I'M
signs of recovery from
their slump of last year, while the
accession of strength to the Progress
sive ranks from the Democracy which
was predicted after the national cleo
ton failed to materialize.
If this continues, what will the
Progressives have to offer the Repub-
licans in 1916, when the time comes
for formally swallowing that party

Editor TIMES
We the undersigned citizens of Stieg-
litz Park and officers of the Stieglitz
Park Improvement association, resent
the inference contained in THE TIMES
last Saturday to the effect that Stieg-
litz Park holds Mayor Schlieker re-
sponsible for the lack of Improvement
In this district. We realize fully the
impracticability of East Chicagos try
ing to supply with water which
could only be done at a tremendous ex-
pense on account OF the distance the
mains would have TO be run.
1t is true that Instrumentation has
been discussed in Sietglitz Park, and
that II is desired. Whiting is the logi-
cal city for the Park to tie UP with, on
account of the latters proximity But
1t is not true that Instrumentation has
been made an issue in the present
campaign. The matter was brought
up with Mayor Schlieker some time ago
and he expressed himself as regret
ting TO lose the territory, but having
the welfare of this community at heart.
and realizing the burden that water IN
Stieglitz Park would impose on tax
payers of East Chicago and Indiana
Harbor at large. he is perfectly agree
able to the project.
/ The desire to postpone the step until
after election is OF our own volition,
as should we disannex now we would
lose our vote both In East Chicago and
Whiting. The mayor on the other hand
was perfectly willing to allow disan-
tnexation to take effect at any time the
citizens chose to bring the matter be-
fore the board of public works. We
wish to deny most emphatically that
the question of the election entered in
to the matter in anyway with the
mayor and IL any statement of that
kind is being made in Stieglitz Park or
elsewhere. 1t is by irresponsible parties
who do not know what they are talk
ling about.
The Citizens Improvement Associa-
ton wishes to disclaim any RESPONSE
lbility for the article which appeared in
THE TIMES on Saturday and to deny
emphatically that Mayor Schlie<er has
at any time made us any promises that
he has not fulfilled
