effect OF TARIFF
IN LAST ELECTION
COngreSSman-Elect T. w.
Miller Shows Republican
City Plurality Set Record

Thomas w. Miller. Congressman
elect, in the current issue of the
American Economist, publication
devoted to the protection of Ameri-
can labor and industries. set forth
his views as to the effect in Delaware
Of the Underwood tariff on the re-
cent election and on the 1916 election.
Concerning Delaware, he says:
Your letter of December re-
questing a few words as TO the effect
of the Underwood Tariff bill upon
the election in the State Of Delaware
has been received
This State is about equally divided
between an agricultural and a manu-
featuring community and comprises
one at-large congressional district
within itself
"The full force OF the business de.
preston did not reach the two lower
counties Of the State, which are
largely agricultural in tendency. In
spite of that fact one of the counties,
namely. Sussex, was carried by the
Republican candidate, whereas two
years ago it was lost by almost 600,
and in the other county. namely,
Kent, there was no material change
from two years ago.
I'm New Castle county, and par
ticularly the city Of Wilmington.
which comprises about half the popu-
lation OF the State, the depression re-
sulting from the Underwood Tariff
bill was felt sufficiently in advance Of
the European war excuse to have
effect on election day Il was shown
in July, 1914, that there were 1000
more men out of employment I'm the
city of Wilmington, after nine months
of the Underwood bill. as compared
to July, 1913. before the bill went into
effect. On election day the city Of
Wilmington gave a plurality which
was double the highest heretofore
given a Republican candidate at any
election. In addition, legislative dis
tricts went Republican for all Offices
which had never before given a Re
publican plurality for any candidate.
'In answer to your question as to
/ the part the Tariff will play in the
1916 elections, I am of the opinion
that it depends largely upon the
/ termination of the war I'm Europe. II
| the war continues for the next year
there will. of course. be provided a
market for American goods which
, otherwise would not exist. for very
obvious reasons. In that event the
lesson which was gradually being
impressed on the American people be.
fore the war in Europe to becloud the
issue will not be felt, and therefore Il
will not be such an easy matter Il
win on the Tariff issue On the other
hand, If the war is stopped in suf
ficient time for the Underwood bill tC
operate unhampered. my opinion |:
that the Tariff will play an important
figure and will undoubtedly result il
driving the Democratic party out o.
power, as on two previous occasions
within the last half century. Verl
truly yours. Thomas w. Miller"
