WILL NOT DECEIVE PEOPLE
Voters Will Understand Situation That
Has Been Created by tho
War In Europe.

Democratic candidates for congress.
VINO nave been consoling themselves
with the thought that the stoppage OF
European imports, due to the war, has
had the same effect as a tariff wall OF
prohlbitive height, and therefore has
blanketed the tariff issue for the pur-
poses OF the congressional campaign,

travelling salesman.
The travelling salesman will take
pains to explain the situation to the
dealers in all the cities, towns, and

for instance. He will explain that the
war has, in fact cut off German i'm
portauons. In a way it has been as
though an exorbitant tariff had been
levied No German hosiery is coming
IN. thus, the American manufactur-
ers might be said to have the market
to themselves.
Exlgencies Of the war. however, can
not possibly produce the same bene-
ncial results as protective tariff.
The salesman will explain that there
are drawbacks to the war business.
There are buyers, for example. who
are under restraint for financial rea-
sons incident to present conditions
Ine salesman cannot sell his Ameri-
can hosiery if the customers have no
money to buy.
The evil of regarding the tariff as a
local issue is to be found right here.
1t Is of little benefit to any industry
to be well protected by the tariff if
the rest of the country is not pros
porous. A well-adjusted tariff benefits
business generally. There is no acct
dent IN the process. The nation itself
| is protected from cheap labor products
from abroad and can pursue it's way
| with prosperity and high wages.
Moreover the vaunted protection
which certain Industries are said to
| be receiving from the cessation of i'm
ports, takes no account of the needs
of the treasury. Under a protective
tariff ample revenue is obtained for
the government, while industry and
wages are protected from the lower
standards of wages that prevail
| abroad
The war is apt to bring the tariff
problem home to the people in a new
light They have had their experience
! with a tariff for revenue only for the
first time in many years, and the

Sugar was one item that was to be
lowered in price to the consumers
and hundreds Of thousands Of the vot-
ers relied upon the Democratic victors
to bring it down greatly in price to
the actual consumers.
Meats of all kinds were to be low

masses to enjoy that delectable and

mightier than the pen, but than the
tongue, mightier than both tongue and
pen combined, for in the platforms
