&c the uneven influence or the war on
American industries. We shall prop
ably see. If the situation continues
certain industries and commerclal OF
carnations working at top speed anu
making enormous profits, while beslue
them will be the empty offices and ue-
serted factories of other Industries. :,
I'm the midst of this unexpected
turmoil. il is necessary that American
business men should be alert ana
should think quickly. A pitched pat
lie on the other side of the ocean can
have n great and almost immediate ei-
feet on the price of provisions IN some
country store: on the policy of man
ufacturer who is considering changes
in his products or his markets; on the
decision of an advertising manager 70
extend or cancel his advertising; on
the Willingness of an employe 70 con-
tinue at his present salary.
"There has never peen period in
history when great world events came
closer to the daily lives, the practical
business affairs, the ambitions, the
fears and the hopes of everyday peo-
pie.
"There is scarcely q business in the
country that does not need immediate
readjustment. 1t may not be raulcai
in most cases, but ii will be enough III
thousands of instances to make .he
difference between profit and loss, pc
tween success and failure. The re-
adjustment may consist simply IN re-
vising orders for stock and raw ma
teriaIs: it may consist in reducing OF
extending sales and office expenses,
1t may consist in securing additionai
capital for some big, timely expan-
sion. Every business needs, more
than ever, hawk-eyed watching ana
quick decision. =,
at Is equally important not to De
led into false moves. The crisis IN
the war may be reached shortly. Pro-
fits that are to be taken must De
taken quickly and without large IN
vestment or fixed capital
whatever losses have to be faeeh
should be quickly reduced to mlnl-
mum, but without becoming panic
stricken and giving up valuable con-
INJECTIONS and organizations.
Each man must analyze his own
business at once, make up his mind
whether he will garner benefits or
suffer reverses and take steps to meet
the situation"

Dean johnson sees opportunities for
the United States. both in extending
our financial influence and in building
our export trade. So far as exports
are concerned, however, he emphasizes
the difficulties of breaking into new
markets, even II they may be tenn
porarily left open. As to the oppor-
tunities Of American financiers. he
says:
New York is today the financial
capital of the world. Up to the out
break of the war the current of inter-
national trade flowed through London,
and the London bill of exchange was
the accepted standard of payment the
world over. But the terrible finger of
war has been laid upon the imposing
financial structures of Europe and they
have shriveled under its touch.
ut is likely that the bankers OF
South America and the orient will In
crease their deposits In New York
the only safe haven for the moment-,r
and the New York bill OF exchange VIII
temporarily take the place OF the Lon
don bill.
New York bankers have no desire
to take advantage OF the difficulties OF
their English brethren. and in the long
run it Is to be hoped that London Will
regain her financial strength ana pres
Ifige. Yet there Is likely to be resi-
|due of permanent gain for American
bankers and exporters. Enduring IL
nancial and trade relations with many
countries now almost closed to Ameri-
can products will be established.
'.For the present, however, we are
lconfronted by closed market for Sc
|curities with no definite prospect of
Its being reopened. Broadly speaking,
|only hand-to- financing is pos
lsible.
New projects, therefore, or any
lother large capital expenditures are
Iout Of the question. Construction that

New York, Aug. 22.-Joseph French
Johnson. dean of New York University
School of Commerce, one of the most
distinguished economists of the coun-
try. has written for the Alexander
Hamilton institute an article on War
and American Business" which Is said
to be based on thorough investiga-
ton conducted by the research ue-
partment of the institute.
Dean Johnson is. optimistic as to ef-
feel of the war on American agricui-
ture and the industries which cater
largely to agricultural interests. lie
is of the opinion. however. that many
industries will suffer severely. An
interesting feature of his article is the
summarized statement Of the chlef
items of profit and loss to the Ameri-
can people which follows:
Loss. .
First-The tendency to drain gold
from this country. which must he OIL
set by accommodating reserves, restrict
Ing credits and avoiding Initiation OF
currency.
Second--Closure Of European mar
ket to American securities and sale
at low prices In this country, resuitins
In checking all permanent financing
and stopping new projects and con-
struction that has not been financed
probable permanent diversion from the
United States and Canada Of large
amounts of European capital which
would otherwise have come to us.
Third-Cutting off certain raw ma
terlals. Chiefly chemically which are
essential in some lines of manufacture
great reduction in European demand
for manufactured goods. resulting In
partial readjustments and in losses.
Fourth-Increase in the cost of Nv
ing.
Profit.
First-Opportunity to increase the
prestige and banking connections OF
America in international financing.
Second Opportunity to enter South
American and oriental markets and Sc
cure a larger share of thisstrade.
Thirds Of foodstuffs and mill
tary supplies at high prices in Euro
pean markets resulting in prosperity
for producers of these goods and fol
industries which cater 10 these pro
ducers.

tain astute politicians, that it now
would be impossible for Republicans to
organize the House of Representa-
tives, and that the Democratic forces
would be sure to render any attempt
at impeachment useless for the sake
of the political capital to be made out
of 1t in two directions.
First, Democracy would shout itself
hoarse about the useless waste of the
peoples money in special session.
Second, their policy is rum policy
and their refusal to impeach would
nail ever vote of the entire booze ele-
ment.
We believe Mrs. Lawrence and her
sister white ribboners had not thought
of these things and have been honest
ly pursuing a course into which they
had been misled. The w. C. T. U. is
cordially invited to look into this mat
ter very carefully before pronouncing
judgment against Governor Haines

resentment is even more marked than
in the North. Seaport cities which
counted upon big comrlercial develop
ment following the opening of the
Panama Canal are now listless, feeling
that the taxing of American shipping
destroys tie chief hope of competing
with the railroads.
The sentiment among business men,
big and little, has its effect in sway
ing the Judgment of farmers and work
ingmen. The farmers depend upon in
dustrv for their market, and the labor
ers depend upon it for their wages.
The farmers see their home market
taken from them by the tariff, and the
laborers see their jobs taken from them
by the same agency. Dwindling ex-
ports and increased imports tell the
story of the transference of activity
to Europe. The laboring men of Eu-
rope may thank the Democratic party,
but the laboring men of the United
States are not thankful for European
prosperity at their expense.
The great elements of American life
business, labor, and agriculture
are out of patience with Democracy.
The good times promised did not come.
Cheaper cost of living did not come.
The square deal at Panama did not
come. The tariff plan worked the
wronu way. The business world was
kept in terror of drastic and inquisi
torial laws.
The Democratic party goes into the
race handicapped with mountain of
resentment and antagonism.

Editorial Comment.
No Doubt of 1t.
(Bangor NeWS.l

There is not particle of doubt
about the fact of the Republican
claim that the cost of living in Maine
this year is much higher than Ii was
in the days of the Civil War, when
farmers were compelled to sell their
faithful horses or their oxen to pay
their taxes, as they came due; when
savings banks went into insolvency
because of financial stringency; when
English free trade competition-and
British subsidies-drove the American
flag from nearly every shipping port
on earth. which has now resulted in
the American Shipping Trust which is
striving to gain a monopoly of the
Panama Canal.
Things are not only rotten in Den
mark as they were in the evil days
of Horatio. but these be hard times
right here upon Penobscot river.
Free lumber. which was claimed
would enable every poor working man
to build and possess his own home.
has made both spruce and hemloek
lumber higher than ever before on
Penobscot river today. Even the re-
tail prices paid for sulphite pulp and
paper of all kinds are coming down.
Even now the hands employed in the
pulp and paper mills are having in
creasiRgly longer vacations or lay
offs, the excuse being the truthful one
of NO orders"
In the very midst of the busy sum-
mer season on .Penobscot river the
country farmers and dairymen are the
principal persons who are conducting
any business.
Where will it all end? Among
many of the New England railroads
it promises to end in receiverships.
Everywhere it Is now ending in a
great shrinkage of values.
In the entire country it must end
in the election of a high Protection
President of the United States and a
high protection congress in both
branches

Complimentary to Aroostook County.

Complimentary to Aroostook County.
One of the provisions of the new tar
iff law appears to be a special compli
ment to Aroostook county and a kind
ly greeting to all potato raising Sec
tions of this great State. This is par
agraph 5S1 in the free list schedule
providing free entry to potatoes. In
October. November and December
1912, and January. February, March
and April, 1918, there were imported
into this country 156.345 bushels of po-
tatoes. These importations were I'M
der the old tariff law. The government
obtained a revenue of 25c per bushel
of so pounds, nearly 10000; the Amer
lean farmer was given protection and
potatoes sold at d fair price so that
Aroostook county was prosperous and
many sections of. Maine received mon
ey from the countrys big markets
for their potatoes. In October, Novem-
Der and December, 1913, and January,
February, March and April, 1914, there
were imported into this country under
the new tariff law 3541, 599 bushels of
potatoes. On these importations of
nearly 2s times the total of the like pc
riod of seven months a year previous,
the government received not a penny
of revenue; the American farmer was
forced to compete with foreign pro-
ducers to whom much American money
was sent which used to be paid in
America to our potato raisers; and the
price of potatoes, though little reduc-
ed for the consumer, was much reduc-
ed for the producer. Is not this a
gracious compliment from the makers
of the Democratic tariff law of 1918
to the farmers of Aroostook and other
potato raisers?

We assume that the above writer is
the wife of Hon. Edward M. Lawrence,

sive party for representative to Con-
gress from the Third district. We be-
lieve Mrs. Lawrence is absolutely sin
cere in her desire for rigid enforce
ment of the laws penalties, as we be-
lieve Mr.. Lawrence is for real enforce
ment. At the Progressive convention
in Bangor we heard Mr.. Lawrence ap-
peal earnestly and convincingly for the
adoption of the Dunnack resolution in
place of the straddle. Our admira-
ton for the gentleman in that hour
increased ten fold.
We give Mrs. Lawrence credit for
being above petty politics. With her
we credit other sincere temperance
women of that section OF the State
with a desire for better conditions than
Governor Haines has been able to Sc
cure In some portions Of the State.
We also credit these law abiding,
loyal citizens of Maine with an erone-
Gus conception of the powers of the
Governor over elected officers. We
credit these women with the belief that
Governor Haines should call the Legis-
lature and demand impeachment to
prove that he is sincere. We do not
believe these women know, as do GER

Our Hens Laid-Up by Foreign Layers

In 1911 there were imported into
America from foreign countries NO
eggs; in 1912 the same number were
imported. In 1918 there were impor-
tations, but as that period is covered
by two distinct tariff laws, the i'm
portations for the first five months of
1914. are more pertinent During these
first five months of the current year.
under the new tariff law 1871, 422 doz-
en- eggs were imported. The old tariff
law set the duty on eggs at FIVE cents
per dozen; under the new law they
come in free. Eggs are no cheaper for
the consumer, but the market for
Maine eggs is going to be well filled
with foreign eggs soon and our Maine
hens will be out of job, their own
ers out of funds.
