interes stinQ to Farmers.

Since the new tariff placed corn on
the free list more than 100000 bush
els have been imported. Over 1.000,-
600 bushels came in two or three days
last week. Much more will follow.
The New York Journal of Commerce
says that 10 vessels are bringing corn
to the United States from Argentina,
or are loading cargoes Of that grain
In Argentine ports for shipment to
this country.
II would puzzle city people to point
out changes to lower cost OF living
which have resulted from these large
fmportations of corn. 1t will puzzle
many Democratic congressman much
more, next fall, to show their farmer
constituents how such wholesale use
OF South American corn In the United
States is going to help agriculture in
this country. Farming districts will
be emphatically of the Missouri turn
Of mind when 1t comes to the exten-
sive encroachment of foreign grain
and other farm products upon the
home markets hitherto enjoyed almost
exclusively by American producers.

LESS FOREIGN TRADE
Democratic Policy Already Has
Proved Harmful.
Figures Show That New Tariff 10 Up
setting the Sound and Normal De-
velopment of the Commeres
Of the Country.

Advocates of low tariff rates have
always argued that high duties OBJ
structed foreign commerce in both di-
rections They have contended that
in order to build up export business
it was necessary to import merchan-
disc literally. Make it easy for for
eigners to sell their products IL the
United States and they will buy more
In America" has been one of their
stock pleas for low tariff.
1t seems that the new tariff is not
working that way, 1t is not lifting
exports OF American merchandise
above the figures for last year. In
January imports fell about sS.600.0O
below the record for the correspond
ing month year ago, fact to which
the tariff-scalers might point as evil
dence that they had not let down the
bars too far If it were not for the fact
that in the same month the exports
of merchandise from the United
States fell about $23,230.0 600 below the
figures for January, 1913.
In rather dull times the natural
tendency of the foreign trade of the
United States is toward a growing ex-
cess of exports over imports. More
effort than usual is made to find mar
kets abroad for American products
and economy in the use of foreign
iuxuries cuts down purchases in other
countries.
When this natural change In foreign
trade is reversed it is very good evi-
dence that the tariff Is upsetting the
sound and normal development OF the
commerce of the country, There is
nothing in the January statistics of
the foreign trade of the United States
to lead the American people to accept
the new tariff as satisfactory and
permanent.

SETTLED A LONG
DRAWN OUT STRIFE

a settlement of the labor war that
has ragged in the kanawaha coal
fields of West Virginia has been vir-
tually brought about by the govern
ment Cancellation commission, acting
under the authority of Secretary Will
son, Of the department of labor.
By the agreement that has been
made the employers practically rec
ognize the labor unions to which the
men belong, and this was the prin-
cipal point at issue. Only few un-
important and trivial differences
now remain TO be adjudicated, which
will be the duty of another commits
sion.
This labor struggle was marked
by many deaths and destruction of a
large amount of property. Armed
guards and militia, equipped with
machine guns, drove the striking
miners to the mountains. where
many are said to have starved. The
situation became so bad that the
United States Senate conducted a
special investigation.
Upon the arrangement reached the
operators agree to recognize the
'check-off' system. This makes the
employers responsible for the dues of
their men to the union.
The question of wages, which is
not regarded as serious, is to be TAX
en- UP by special commission to be
named within ten days. One of the
commissioners is to be named by the
mine owners, the second by the min
ers and the third is to be chosen by
the two If the two commissioners
fail to agree on the third, he is to be
selected by the. secretary of labor
from a list of five names submitted
to, him. -.
Secretary Wilson and the admins
tration in Washington are to be
highly commended for their, success
