Must Find a Solution.

Particularly unimpressive is the
man who attributed the high cost OF
living to the policy of protection, and
promised relief in a revision OF the
protective tariff law. Revision has
come, but minus the promised relief
The cost of living is higher under the
new than 1t was under the old law,
The Underwood law is no more the
cause of the recent rise in such prices
than the Payne law was responsible
for the prices of that day. Men OF
both schools of tariff thought find
there is a problem on hand which Is
as puzzling as difficult; and they must
address themselves to the solution
free from some of the ideas upon
which in recent years they have been
rearing many tall arguments.
That the next tariff law will collect
heavily from imports is certainty;
and equally certain is 1t that the
schedules and rates will have to be
adjusted to conditions that have never
existed before since this government
was founded.

GREAT LESSON HERE
European War Shows Value Of
Protective Policy.
Economic Necessity In That Il Would
Make the United States Industrl-
ally Independent Of All For
eIgn Countries

The expression has been heard fire.
quently OF late that the European war.
to all intents and purposes, serves the
manufacturing industries Of the United
States almost in the same manner and
degree as a protective tariff. In other
words. If the producers OF Europe are
taken from the fields and the shops
and sent to the front, there will be a
serious falling OF in the imports. leav-
ing Americans In full possession OF
their own market
Such a view is subject to various
qualifications. The essential factor, OF
course. is TO obtain the necessary
ships. As an equivalent to the policy
OF tariff protection, European war is
sadly deficient in that it lops of mil
lions from the tariff revenues ct the
government. Whatever gain may &C
crue to the manufacturers Is at the
expense of the treasury.
What the European war does &C
complish, however, is the illustration
of the economic necessity Of tariff pro
lection at all times. The principle of
protection was forcibly brought home
to the American people during the Ma
poleonic wars, when American states
men showed clearly that the American
public should not be placed at the
mercy OF Europe. Inc great argu-
ment for protection at that time was
to have industries so firmly estab-
lished in the United States that no Eu-
ropean war could deprive us of man
ufactured articles. The present crisis
points to the same conclusion. 1t
shows that it is absolutely necessary
for the United States to be made in
dustrially independent of foreign cogp-
tries and to be brought to the point
where it can produce for itself every
thing needed by it's own people.
1t has been favorite argument with
the tariff-forrevenue-only men that
if any industry could not compete sue
cessfully with the cheap labor prod
ucts of Europe, such an industry, in
line with true economy, should be
permitted to die. II such a policy had
been followed by the United States in
the past, it would mean that the ma
ton would be utterly unable to sup
port itself in the present European
crisis. Even now the war will deprive
the United States of many articles,
such as chemicals used in agriculture
and manufacturing, and would like
wise deprive the country of many
manufactured articles, such as tex
tiles. metals. etc, if such industries
had not been well established under
the protective policy at home.
Whatever else the general war in
Europe may show. it cannot fail to
demonstrate not only the value, but
the absolute economic necessity of a
protective tariff.

Too MANY Elections.

Only few weeks ago 10000 citi
zens of Seattle went to the polls and
voted to have a new city charter
drawn, but when submitted for adop
ton less than twenty thousand cared
enough for 1t to vote either for or
against it. This IS explained by the
local newspapers. which say that the
people are sick and tired Of so many
elections. In Seattle they have the
initiative and the referendum and the
recall, and pretty much everything
else that can be thought of. and the
result is that an election of one sort
or another is pulled off every few
weeks. 1t is a great thing for the
people TO have all these privileges
but the majority do not seem to want
to be bothered with them.-Philadel

sufficient II combined with the Taft
vote, TO have given the staae to the
Republicans by slight plurality. In
Oklahoma there also seems to be a
likelihood of a straightout fight be-
tween the Democrats and Republicans.
Primary and other elections in
Michigan since 1912 indicate that the
Progressive party has dwindled away
TO nothing. and the Republican cam
paign managers are counting upon
making gains in the congressional rep
reseItation. In 1912 the farmers in
Michigan we're sore against President
Taft on account of the latter's effort
to secure reciprocity with Canada. but
they have learned that the present
tariff law is much more injurious TO
them than reciprocity, besides which
the Michigan sugar beet growers and
manufacturers have been badly hurt
by the free sugar schedule. In ONO
there is a decided tendency among Re-
publicans to return to their old af1lia-
lions.

Return to RepubIicanIsm.

In spite OF the enormous crops and
the general prosperity in the agricul-
tural districts of the graiE-growing
states, there has grown up a deep
conviction among those who aban-
doned the Republican party to follow
the leadership of Colonel Roosevelt.
that it was big mistake. At the
same time Democrats in those states
admit their supreme disappointment
with the conduct of the government
by their party. The administration
may be told by politicians with axes
to grind that the sentiment OF the
country is largely with it. but IL those
interested would send out some disiD-
terested emissaries TO find out from
personal contact with the voters Of
the West what the real sentiment is,

poets at this time favor the return Of
a Republican to congress from two
districts out of three which the Re
publicans lost four years ago.
