The Much Libelled Goods

Washington, ID. c., -- Re-
publican politicians have not yet
charged that the new fariff law
brought on the armed conflict IN
Europe, but some of them are
getting pretty close to that accu-
sation. A few of the small fry
here and thnre brazingly admit
that the new tariff act is respons.

ceipts, resulting, Is everybody
knows, from the European war.

charge sounds foolish, but it is,
nevertheless being made.
The New York Press, an ortho'
dox Republican paper of standing
has taken notice of this charge
which it repudiates. L b e Press
says:
Nothing could be more unfair
than to attribute the present col
lapse of Treasury receipts to tho
tariff law. and nothing could be
more foolish to inject tariff
argument into any special meas
ure aimed to provide more reven.
ne in the emergency which has
grown out of the war in Euhope,
Anybody with t h e very least
gumption knows that since the
war struck directly and almost
entirely at the revenue produced
from tariff duties, the bigger the
proportion of receipts from such
tariff duties had been the worse

therefore would have been more

UPHOLDs POLICY OF WILSON
London Newspaper Sees in His lDipso-
macy an Example That the World
May Well Follow. 1

In an editorial condemning the evils
of secret diplomacy, the London Daily
News speaks as follows: &
Secret diplomacy belongs to the
traditions of autocratic and personal
government. 1t has no place In q
democratic world, and the example or
the United States must become the
model of the civilized world on this
vital matter if Europe is to be Tree
from menace in the future."
Z Mr.. Roosevelt has been denouncing
the diplomacy Of the Wilson admins
tration as "the laughing stock OF the
world" A great newspaper, with the
visible results of secrecy, chicane, ag-
gression and other fruits of war-lord-
ism before it's eyes, declares that
same diplomacy a model for the world
to follow.
The Journal believes that In this
matter the praise of a disinterested
observer will have more weight with
the American people than the rawlings
of a. disappointed Jingo-Chicago
journal. $

WASHINGTON and Wilson

!. The presidents appeal for observ-
Iance of the spirit of neutrality seems.
curiousfy enough, almost an echo
IDf that for our first president,
whose biographer Mr.. Wilson is. In
his book George Washington
Gently issued in new edition-he
quotes Washington's remarks at the
beginning of the French revolution:
Every true friend to this country
must see and feel that the policy or
it is not to embroil ourselves with any
nation whatever, but to avoid their
disputes and their policies, and, II
they will harass one another, to avail
ourselves of the neutral conduct we
have adopted. Twenty years peace,
with such an increase of population
and resources as we have a right 10
expect, added to our remote situation
from the Earring powers, will IN all
probability enable us, in a just cause,
to bid defiance to any power on earth.
I want an American character, that
the. powers of Europe may be con-
vinced that we act for ourselves and
not for others"

Reaplno a Profit.

That this country is beginning to
reap some advantage from the Eu-
ropean war is evidenced by the es-
Enlistment between the United
States, on the one hand. and Argen-
tina and Brazil, on the other, OF a di.
rect exchange Of financial credits.
The plan was fostered by the Ma
tional City bank of New York and is
believed to Dresage a great increase
of trade.
By the exchange Of credits Ameri-
can importers doing business with
the Argentine and Brazil will be able
to pay cash for their purchases with
out having the business done
through London. It is expected that
the volume Of coffee and crude rub
Der will move directly to the United
States rather than to London and
that it will soon be accompanied by
the export Of large amounts OF
American manufactures to Rio and
Buenos Aires.
It all means, according to one en-.
thusiastic commentator, that the dol
lar and not the pound sterling will be
hereafter the basis Of South Ameri-
can exchange. 1t means certainly
large additions to our business with
South America.

Antitrust PROGRESS.

The decision of the federal court OF
St, Paul ordering the dissolution OF
the harvester trust comedies in time
with the announcement that the New
Haven dissolution suit has been set
tiled out of court" Thus progress Is
being made toward the readjustment
of industrial and transportation con-
lditions to accord with the law. The
settlement of the New Haven case, by
agreement between the government
and the directors, saves long and ex-
pensive litigation and manifests a de-
sire on the part Of the responsible
officials to comply with the law as
laid down and insisted upon by the
government. In the case of the har-
yester trust there will probably be an
appeal and the Supreme court OF the
United States will be called upon for
a final decision, so that many months
may pass before this matter is set
tied.

SAVE The TREASURY
Why Not a Bond Issue for Mer-
chant Mariner
Reasonable That Posterity should
Bear a Portion Of the Expense OF
Placing American Flag on
the High Seas.

II 1t should appear desirable to Gre
ate merchant marine under govern
ment ownership and operation, for the
purpose Of carrying on commerce with
neutral nations, why should not the
funds be raised by popular bond is
sue?
The people would welcome an OPP
portunity to invest in government
bonds at a reasonable agure. An Is
sue of $5O,O0OoOO would be subscribed
for In short order.
The. persons who are anxious to see
!, American ships on the seas would
have an opportunity to help the good
work by buying the government
bonds. The treasury would not be
drawn upon for this new enterprise.
The people would look with more far
vor upon government ownership and
operation If they themselves were part
owners. They would watch the devel-
opment of the merchant marine with
personal interest, and the government
would be the beneficiary of,many val
carry its share Of the cost, and II the
plan proved profitable posterity would
share the profits.
The Panama canal has been largely
paid for by the people Of this genera
ton. although posterity will reap the
greatest benefits. The cost of that
work might better have been betrayed
entirely by a bond issue, extending
over many years. An undertaking Of
the magnitude of an American mer-
chant marine worthy Of the name
should not be paid for entirely by the
people now living. If the American
flag is to be kept permanently on the
seas, posterity should pay it's share
Of the cost for the sake OF Its share
in the benefits.

vile Post in response to the Worlds
suggestion that If the war demands OF
Europe make famine prices here 1t
may be necessary to impose an en-
barge upon exports Of food.
Protection carried to the highest
degree is not the sort Of protection
that we have always had in this coun-
try. Protection carried to the highest
degree would not tax millions for the
benefit of the few. It would not leave
many hungry while spectators rolled
In. luxury.
The whole system of protection as
practiced here for generations has
been in low degree. 1t has been pri-
vate and personal. It has helped one
man to plumber many men, If we can
have. protection in the highest degree,
we shall have government on the side
of the millions for once, and that Is
the only justification that protection
ever can have.-New York World.

Cotton Exports Beat Record.

(; Further evidence that commercial
activities are not as bad as some peo-
pie would have the public believe Is
contained in figures available today at
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce Of the department of com
merce, showing that the exports OF
raw cotton from the United States In
the fiscal year ended June 80 beat all
records from a standpoint OF value.
The value OF the exports aggregated
1890, GOO. 900.
Measured by quantity, the exports
for the year we're million and half
bales less than those of 1912, the to-
tai for that year being 10,675,445 bales,
compared with s,165.Ooo for the year
just ended. The average export price
a pound last year was 12.S cents. The
price in 1912 was 10.2, and 14.5 in
1911, which had been the high-record
year in value of cotton exports.
