DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRA-
TONS FISCAL RECORD

THE Underwood Tariff Law was
approved Oct. Sd, 1913. From that
time until July 31st practically ten
months elapsed. Let US note the re-
suits of this law within this period
Note that the European war had not
begun on July 31st. In October, 1913,
the imports of the United States were
$132, 878, 1896, the exports $271 1856, 054.
The balance of trade in favor of the
United States during the month being
therefore $138,976,15S. With slight
fluctuations, the imports during each
creased, the exports decreased, until
the exports $154, 138,947, and the for
mer balance in favor of the United
States had BECOME balance against
the United States of $5,548,344. That
is, the imports in July were q mill
lions more than the exports 1T mil
lions less than in October. Thus, we
are buying more and selling less. Is
this good business?
The appropriations for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1913, We're
$1,O19,412,710.91; for 1914, $1.09s,-
678, 788.40; for 1915, 81, 1908, 777.26;
that is an increase in 1915 over 1913
of SO million dollars. The amount of
the increase is practically the amount
determined to be raised by the So
called war tax. The war tax could he
saved by economy notwithst anding
the failure of the Tariff law even as
revenue producer. Now note how it
has failed.
From October 1st to July 31st, the
total income from the tariff was 1929
461 $4,000. For the same ten months
in the preceding year the total income
was $3.50, 122.037. Thus the Under
wood Law yielded 30 millions less
than the Payne law, though the i'm
ports during the same ten months
were 1,606.150,312 as against ST.
503,826, $4,000 during the correspond
ing ten months under the Payne law.
Imports have increased. revenue has
decreased, prices have not decreased.
Thus aside from the loss to our own
industries we have simply sacrificed
80 millions of dollars of revenue.

Cure For Cattle Disease

An interesting item, telling OF a
cure for the dreaded hoof and mouth
disease, which was printed in the
Frankfort Zeitung, Germany news
paper, published in Frankfort, Ger
many, December, 1911, was brought
to the American Office by Mr.. A.
Haupt, of the New York Clothing
House. Interested in the subject at
that time he saved the paper and a
few days ago found it in a trunk Mt
his home, where he had stored it away,
almost three years ago.
The news item tells of the expert
ence of Professor Leonard Hoffman,
of the Veterinary High School in
Stuttgart, Germany, who entirely wip-
ed out the dreaded disease in certain
cities where it had been discovered by
the use of a preparation called eugu-
form, consisting of gualacal and for
malin. The preparation was discover
ed, the item states, by lucky circum-
stance, and effected cures in every
case from the very start of its use.
1t is explained that euguform was
used successfully on oxen, cows, horses
and hogs and other animals. The pre-
paration is salve which is oily. When
spread oil the sores from the disease,
is soothing and effects cures in a very
few days. 1t is reduced to liquid when
used on hoofs and mouth, and is plac-
ed on the sore spots by means of a
strong spray.
The salve is very hard to dissolve,
and is thick when reduced to liquid.
Placed in the spray it is squirted into
the hoofs of the a fflicted animals.
When applied to outer parts it makes
the skin sort and pliable. The scahs
and sores quickly dry up under the
treatment and disappear.

WORLDS DEBT TO THE UNFIT

The world owes much to the ply sically unfit. It would be less worth living in today but for the brilliant eonsumptives and cripples and blind and deaf men who have enriched it. In our craze for eff ciency and for standardizing every thing we are in danger of forgetting that there are other things in the world. too.
