While the Democrats must take the
initiative in all business, the Repub-
licans and the Progressives have a
certain responsibility. They must
make a record, too, as the wheels go
round. They must vote on how much
revenue shall be raised by means OF
the income tax, and how the amount
shall operate in the revision of the
customs schedules and the new
duties they shall carry. And they
must vote on all new antitrust prop
Ositions, and all currency reform
measures presented, The battle WIN
not be alone between the Democratic
factions, warm as that may be. but,
on some OF the lines Of contention,
between the old parties as heretofore.
SO that the chances and penalties
for laundering will not be confined to
the Democratic party.

Trusts and Foreign Trade.

American consuls report that manu-.
facturers of this country will not
take trouble to seek foreign trade.
They will not make long campaigns
for oversee commerce, as do English,
French and Germans.
One reason for this condition is not
far to seek. A large part of Ameri-
can manufacturing is under trust
control. Trusts are too fond Of pro
lection at home to enjoy meeting
competition abroad. During the last
campaign Louis Brandeis published
figures showing that most trusts pay
little attention to export trade; and
that their boasted efficiency" Is a
myth

ness and natural resources compel an
increase. What the country needs in
promoting foreign trade is not sub.
sidized ships, but normal competitive
conditions at home

IL was an excellent point which

usual, listening TO the same old plant
that American manufacturers cannot
compete with foreign manufacturers
without protection because we pay such
high wages In America As II happened,

chanting this old refrain when Mr.
Kitchin brought them up sharply by
calling attention to the use foreign
manufacturers are right now making,

statements as these American gentle.
men have been making.
AS everybody knows, the cotton
men and other American manufactur.
ers do compete largely, on equal
terms in countries like China with
European manufacturers. Yet here
they are declaring their inability TO
compete on equal terms for their own
home market! According TO MIR
Kitchin, their confessions to this ef

the inferiority Of American goods
when sold as cheaply as German and
other European products.

Amount of slIane for Hors.

Horses are very fond Of silage. but
according to Kansas Farmer there is
considerable danger to their getting
too much of it. Forty pounds a day

amount that can be fed to cattle, bat
here are very few cattle that will
average this much and 1t should be
remembered that the horse has a very
much smaller stomach than the COW.
A little silage given as a horse ra-

OF it by his improved condition and

him too much.
