NO SWAPPING OF HORSES NOW.

The State chairmen of the two principal political
organizations in the State quoted prophesying
victory for their respective parties in the November
election. 1t is about this time of election year
that claims are made based nothing more than
the hopes of the claimants.
AS matter of fact, the political situation in the
State has been very much clouded by the event of
the European war, for to some extent the election
prospects bound to be affected by the animoses
of the war Its distraction of interest in the
paign and election may also be factor by keeping
voters from the polls obscuring the issues Of the
election.
But the Democrats will be favored by strong
sentiment, and that is the desire to make radical
changes in government at this critical time in the
worlds affairs. Swapping horses In crossing stream
Abraham Lincoln regarded bad policy. In times
so uncertain this the safe thing to do is to stand
pat Whether 1t is congress legislature or
mayor, a wise discretion holds on the present and
leaves any possible changes to the future.

PUBLIC WORK FOR EMPLOYMENT.

Public work should be continued If possible by
national State and municipal governments, and when
practicable public improvements should be under
taken 1t is exceedingly bad policy to stop or curtail
public works at this time.
Winter is coming and the Industrial outlook is
uncertain. There are now many of the unemployed
and the number is likely to be largely added to. If
the country not get the benefit of Canadian
Mexican and South American orders for our manu-
features there will be steady contraction of work In
the factories during the fall and winter.
The defeat of the river and harbor bill In Con-
gress would the laying off of multitude of
workers in all parts of the country we'll as great
injury to public enterprise 1t would be blow to
Newarks meadow and harbor improvements 1t
would halt many private enterprises. The men in
Congress who would defeat this bill are as short
sighted and narrow-minded as those who have op-
posed appropriations for the national defense and
who wanted to leave the Panama Canal unfortifed.
Federal, State and municipal bodies should do what
they to provide employment. That Is the best
kind of public charity 1t makes citizens not paupers

Trade Empire
Awaits i. S.

Senior Naon, the minister of Argen-
tina to the United States, In his
statements to the Public Ledger,
made 1t plain that a larger part of
the trade of his country will come
here when American business men
care for it. Argentina bankers who
have tried to open branches here have
found innumerable legal obstacles,
and the laws have not allowed Amer
lean national bankers to open
branches In South America. She latter
obstacle is removed, for American
bankers may now open branches in
Buenos Aires to facilitate commercial
transactions between the two coun-
tries.
The Argentine government has
found our bankers unwilling to lend
money, so 1t has been compelled to
continue to do business in London,
where nine-tenths of it's foreign loans
have been f1oated in the past. Ar
gentina pays the interest on its debt
in Europe by shipping goods there.
The bulk of the Argentine foreign
trade follows the route of the bulk of
it's foreign loans.
The total exports and imports of
the country were $900,000,000 last
year. The United States bought only
S26, 100000 worth and sold only $751;
900 900 of this total, or less than one
tenth. Included in the Argentine i'm
ports were $S5 100000 worth of tex
tiles; $4,000, 900, iron: $50, 900, 900, cleo
trical apparatus, and the same
amount of carriages and automobiles;
$23,OO0,OOO oils, and $35,000,00O, build
ing materials.
The United States produces textiles
as fine as any in the world; its iron
mines and furnaces can compete with
the best anywhere; its manufactures
of electrical supplies, wagons, car
riages and automobiles are unrivaled;
it's oil producers are the giants of that
industry and building material is pro-
duced here in sufficient quantity and
quality to satisfy the most exacting
demands; but the Argentina trade
goes to Europe because Europe goes
after 1t and makes it easy for the
producer at home to deal with the
consumer in South America.
Argentina is not only willing to
trade with the United States If 1t is
met half way, but 1t is also willing
to do its business through this port.
Philadelphia trade with Argentina,
however, is pitifully small. OF the
$26, 900 900 worth of goods imported
last year only $732,000 were landed on
the Delaware river piers. while Bos-
ton received $9,400,00O and New York
SIG, 000, 900. The export showing Is
much more unsatisfactory. for only
$261 900 of the s5200O.O00 worth of ex-
ports went from this city. The Pen
sacola and New Orleans shipments
were each almost three times as great.
Twice as much was sent from Sabine.
Tex, and almost ten times as much
from Mobile and Pearl river, while
the New York shipments were s44.600.-
900. Yet Pennsy1vaia produces the
iron. the oil. the textiles and the au-
tomobiles that can be used in Ar
gentina. and Philadelphia is as ad-
vantageous a distributing point for
these products as any other port In
the country. An empire of trade
| awaits conquest by the captains of
| industry here. They must awake to
| the opportunity and seize 1t while
there is time.-Philadelphia Public
Ledger.

l'Among the strangest coins in the

ifficult to obtain, and curio collectors

is needed are contributions and American generosity
