able to do the work it ought to have
done under the limits forced upon 1T,
The truth is that neither of the old
party managers in Congress want a
tariff board, for a tariff board would
get facts, results, operations, and con-
sequences that would be absolute facts;
whereas what the Congressman want Is
an opportunity to put theories and
partisan declarations into effect, re.
gardless of consequences. Theories and
partisan dogmas are the great thing
with most members of Congress. They
dread the application Of plain, straight"
forward facts to those theories, and
shun them as guides in tariff legisla-
tion; for few plain, proved facts
will readily outweigh multitude Of
academic notions and theoretical fads.

TARIFF COMMISSION OPPOSED.

1t will he recalled when President
TAFT stated at the adjournment Of
the special session Of Congress in 1900,
that 1T had created a tariff board ac-
cordinG to his request a. number Of the
prominent Senators denied that there
had been any such board created,
AS matter of fact, there was no in
tention To create any such board The
Senate's idea was that what il had
doue was to create an insignificant ad-
visory board to the President, whose
function should be to consider and
report to him upon matters relating to
reciprocity. But President Taft large
ly increased the functions and I'M
portance of that board, and he man
aged to have the board continued dur.
ing the term of his Presidency.
But the Republican Congress was un.
questionably opposed to any general
tariff board that would have the func.
tion of investigating and reporting
upon general tariff facts, keeping track
of and reporting upon the operation Of
the law, and in general giving Con
gress and the Executive such practical
and specific information as both need
in the consideration, enactment, and
enforcement Of tariff measures,
The present Democratic Congress is
just as determ;nedly opposed to a tariff
commission rs was tho Republican Con-
gress Of 1909, In both cases the effort
is to put arguments and theories into
effect rather than to determine from
actual information woat ought 60 be
done in the way OF taIjff enactments
and tariff endorsements. The Demo,
Gratis in the House, under the approval
OF the Democratic press, has taken
what is called Hfirm stand' against
the creation of a general tariff board
The tariff board is now proposed by
the Republican minority, although the
very Republican Congressman now pro-
posing and urging it were most stub
born in opposing il when they had
the power to create such board.
1t is truly said that the old-line Re.
publicans "not only did not want such
a body appointed, but opposed it tooth
and nail when they had the power to
create it,
And so the Democratic managers also
are opposing it tooth and nail, and Of
course, they will be able to beat it,
precisely as the old.line Republicans
were able to beat it IN former Con-
crosses. The widening of the use of
the insignificant body which the Re-
publican Congress of 1909 thought it
was creating has always been on a
perllous footing, and there was no abso.

AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES.

Time was. and that not so very
many years ago. when an American
made automobile was supposed to be
inferior to the French, and when the
idea of the United States making and
exporting automobiles would have been
considered a wild and futile dream.
And vet those who are acquainted
with American ingenuity, resourceful'
ness, and push need not have taken
that view. On the contrary, there was
every reason, Judging from the past
and from the ambition Of American
manufacturers, TO expect that this
country would before long overtake all
rivals, and make and sell better auto
mobiles than tho manufacturers OF any
other country could possibly produce.
This view is fully vindicated by a
report recently made from the Depart
ment of Commerce at Washington,
showing the gain by leaps and bounds
of the automobile industry In this
country and Of the exports Of automo-
biles from the United States. At the
beginning Of this century France was
not only the leading export nation Of
automobiles, but there was no dream
either in France or anywhere else that
Frenohmen could be rivaled, much less
overpassed, in this industry The
first year OF the present century France
was exporting over $3,000,000 worth
of automobiles, and her business in this
line was progressing tremendously. 1t
is progressing tremendously yet, for
that matter. but the United States is
about breaking even now with France
in the export of automobiles, as shown
in the following table, prepared by the
u. s. Department Of Commerce of the
exports Of automobiles from the lead
ing countries:

ing countries:
'Year ended June so.

1t win be noticed by these figures
that the United States was slow in
gaining large proportions for its
automobile export trade. But after it
got fairly started and the high repute
of American-made automobiles was
established. the. United States rapidly
forged forward, and unquestionably
will be the leading country IN the
world within q year or two in this form
of exports. The increase Of $4,000,
600 last year in these exports beats
all records Of all nations, and whereas
Great Britain seemed to be leading the
United States until. the reputation of
machines made in this country became
fully established, since this was estab-
lished the United States came to the
front with rush

THE TWO PER CENT INTEREST

The order issued recently by Secre-
tary McAdoo of the U. S. Treasury
Department requiring all National
banks holding deposits of public money
TO pay per cent interest on such
deposits from and after the first Of
June, is by no means a new require
ment. Secretary MacVeagh had required
right along the per cent interest
on such public deposits as were likely to
lie in the banks for some time. CORE.

covered by certificates of deposit.
Where there is not likely to be any
call for some time for such money. the
banks have had TO pay 2 per cent
interest on the amount But on de-
posits Of public money that were like.
~ 10 be used from time to time, Sec
retary MacVeagh required but l per
cent interest. The order Of Secretary
McAdoo, therefore, merely extends to
the deposits which may be called
Temporary or subject to be drawn upon
at any time, the same rule as to inter
est that Secretary MacVeagh had made
as to the deposits which were likely
to be undisturbed for some time.
Under Secretary McAdoo's order
there has been a good deal of call
by the banks for public money, and in
all cases where Federal money is de-
posted in banks, the deposit is fully
covered by the placing in the treasury
Of bonds to secure the money.
The tendency OF this order and the
financial movement resulting from it will
undoubtedly be to place more and more
Of the public money in the banks, and
so at the use Of the business com.
munity for all commercial purposes.
There has been right along in the
management Of the y. s. Treasury De-
partment a certain severity Of rule in
regard 20 the securing of the use of
public money, and reluctance has
been manifest at all times to put that
money in the bank vaults OF at the
disposal of the banks. This order of
Secretary McAdoo, however, will have
the effect of taking large amounts of
money out of the treasury for the use
Of the banks. 1t will be a profitable
business for the banks to draw from
the treasury money at per cent when
they can lend 1t out TO their customers
at from to per cent.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS PEACE.

When the Emperor OF Germany as
| cended his throne there was universal
dread throughout Europe that he would
bring on war. and that he would keep
the nations stirred up all the time and
compel all to be on a war footing
through fear of German invasion. The
latter part Of this dread has been
fully realized. Europe is an armed
camp 60 q greater extent than ever
before in its history. Immensely great
er masses of men are enrolled in the
armies Of Europe now than ever before,
and the expenditures for war purposes
during times of peace correspond pref
ty evenly to tho expenditures of former
times when the nations were at war.
The peoples burdens. therefore, have
not been lightened through the con-
tinuancc of peace, but the slaughte.
and waste of war have been avoided,
Still, the actual war has not come.
There has been no general war in Eu-
rope during the reign Of the present
Kaiser, and it is stated that he is
making great point of keeping the
peace until twenty-five years Of his
reign shall have been passed. That
date will be reached on the fifteenth
day of next month. He will then have
reigned twenty-five years. and he will
be able to point to the idleness of the
prediction that his coming to the throne
Of Germany meant war, If he can man
age the preservation Of peace in Eu-
rope until that date.
There appears to be ample reason
to expect that he will be able to do
this. With the present calming down
of excitement resulting from the Bal
kan war, the European nations can
fairly expect a season Of undisturbed
peace and quiet. The powers of Europe
have intervened effectively in the
matter Of Montenegro S stubbornness,
and now there is nothing in the way
of the restoration of permanent peace,
except the settlement OF details with
regard TO the disposition of certain is.

The Emperor OF Germany. therefore,
is quite sanguine that he will be able
to complete reign of twenty five years
of peace, and that the iubiIatiops
which will be entered upon to celebrate
that event Will be all to his praise.
And they will be Justly to. his credit.
for he was young man Of impulsive
nature, of threatening mien. He an.
nounced that he was the war lord of
Germany and took measures to put
his Empire upon such tremendous war
footing as had never been known be-
fore. He accomplished his designs in
this, and when he made the German
army the dread OF the world, be be

that it has no such world -wide inter
