OUR OWN MILLS NOW.

fyVashington Times, Independent Re-
 publican, October g, 19I4)
 A New York merchant has just given an order for 1,500 dozen pairs of chtldren,s stockings rnadesin Amer ican mills. If the war had not bro ken out that order would have gone to German mills, where he had been buying those goods before,
 In an international commerce annrnounting to billions that single or der of 1.5Oo dozen pairs of hose is a trifie; but 1t is striking example of what will be happening in great volume and in many directions
 In the fiscal year of 1918 we i'm ported $66,000,000 of cotton manu- factures. We sole our raw cotton to forei gners, they used it in their mills and factories and then shipped some of it back to us, selling us in 1913 that $66,O0o, ,000s and under the new tariff they were selling us a great war put it's embargo upon the ship ments.
 Very likely the manufactured cot ton which came back across the seas to us at value of $66, 100000 we sold as raw cotton for not more than $10, 900, or a very little more. But if we had been able to send that ten millions or so of cotton through our own mills and factories, instead of through the long, roundabout way of the foreign mills and factories be- fore going to our consumers we should have done as much for the cotton growers as ever the foreign mills did and we should have put many more millions into the pockets of American wage-earners On that cotton trading we got SIC, 900, 900, say, and gave $66.000,00O. The $55, ,00O.- GOO or so of difference went to for efgn manufacturers, wage -earqers and other persons instead of to dur own people.

EFFECT OF THE WAR
 ONAMEBIGAN BUSINESS

The European armies so far, seem to have been supported mostly out of war chests,s's vast sums previously amassed. But the borrowing of money has begun. This means that all the lcontending people must for many lers have any sense remaining, they will agree, when the war closes, on some reduction of armament. The saving here might balance the heavier taxes caused by interest and payments on war loans.
 Where the war will pinch bitterly is 1 in the loss of earning power. Millions of families must now draw on their savings, and very likely exhaust them. The scale of living will be reduced. 1 People will occupy poorer houses eat less food, and cut out 1uxuries. Fam I flies that have lost the breadwinner must struggle on lifted and half nour- ished.
 Europe can not for the next decade buy. so many American manufa cured | goods. It will not be able to eat so much grain and meat. While the war lasts, more food products will be l bought in this country. Armies have to be fed, even if the children starve l So many farm workers have been kill ! ed, that agricultural production will drop in Europe after the war So, perhaps, in spite of the prospective poverty, Europe. may permanently buy l just as much of our farm products
 The war will have at least these eco homie effects on American business;
 1.-Consumption of American man. ufactured goods by Europe will fall off
 2.-Some new export trade should be developed by our manufa cturers in Southern countries. on account of the Ecrip1ing of European producers.
 Hence as far as effect on American | bushes goes, there sem to be two fa- vorable factors. Hence there is every reason why business in America should advance confidently. Let every one save needless expense But it is no time to hoard. Iftyou can save 3, dol lar take it to some bank, where 1t will help finance some good enterprise.
