Tariff, Not War, Removable.

The popular cry everywhere these days. but more
particularly and strenuously nsstent in the locality
of Washington, is that it is due to the European
war" This is serving the timely excuse for
all sorts of mishaps and msfortunes from toothache
to bankruptcy.
1t need not appear unseemly or untimely to point
out that the most of our industrial financial and
commercial troubles date back over a period of
almost two years in the iron and steel trade and at
least year in general business. When the Wilson
Underwood tariff bill was under discussion we were
assured and reassured that everything would be
lovely once this measure were placed upon the ma
tonal statute books Never CLINT of sunshine since
the pestiferous measure first took shape The much
discussed lowering of the cost of living has not ma
terislized The iron steel and metal trades in every
corner of the country have been driven into the
last ditch Today we record further declines in activi-
ties of mills, foundries and blast furnaces Just ten
months ago the Daily Iron Trade reflected condi-
tons with its startling million men idle" article.
Prices of all iron and steel materials have declined
again, in instances under the cost line as they
did then.
This list might be heightened indefinitely but it
recalled at this moment to direct attention. to the
fact that back of and underlying present indus
trial and financial troubles lies the present nqutous

meal times. and light tonic OF that
kind at bed time. Mr.. Bird acted upon
the advice and speedily found that the
taking OF a little wine for his stomach's
sake was doing him good. He therefore
bought a small demijohn, or keg. OF ex-
cellent whisky. and he had no sooner

At last the criticism reached his ears

would have offered a plausible expIana-
ton. Instead Of that he said: II am to-
day a believer in tota. abstinence. but
do not think that the taking Of medicine
prescribed by a doctor violates my con-
Yiction. am today a believer in pro-
hibItion, but ! do not believe that the use

HISTORY BUILDERS,
By DR. EJ. EDWARDS.
The Argument IN a DOctOr's
Prescription.

A quarter OF q century ago Francis w.
Bird. Of Massachusetts,. was numbered
among the citizens Of that State whose
names were familiar TO American people.
His son and grandson have also Justly
claimed public attention. the son having
been nominated as the representative OF
the Progressive party for governor Of
Massachusetts,. Francis w. Blvd was
never nominated for that office, although
occasionally his friends-who were many
urged the party of which he was a
member TO nominate him.
Mr. Bird, however, probably would have
won official distinction had II not been
for certain admirable, but peculiar, per-
sonal qualities. He was loyal 70 his con-
victions. He was incapable OF hiding his
personal views. He could not understand
the facility with which men for whom he
had high opinion practiced that science
OF politics which Is sometimes called
"tripming." Had he been a little more
OF a trimmer and a little less persistent
in public announcement OF his convic-
tons. he would probably have gained Of
ficial recognition
For Mr.. Bird was personally a man
who drew to him all kinds Of people. He
Possessed that kindness Of heart and that
consideration for others which are said
to be the essential qualifications Of a
gentleman. He was the most democratic
OF men, although he knew how to be a
plain man among plain people without
in any way sacrificing his dignity.
Mr.. Bird might have been nominated for
high office II he had not, apparently with
suddenness, abandoned the strong convic-
tions which he had constantly proclaimed
In public in support OF State prohibition
and OF the practice OF total abstinence
from the use Of spirituous or malt
liquorE.
He was OF unusual physical stature-at
least feet inches in height. He was
slender. and IL was a wonder how his
apparently frail body could contain so
much energy. for he was never idle. But
Mr.. Bird lived. according to his friends.
upon his nerves. There came a time
when his nervous system failed to yield
the energy which he needed. This time
was coincidsnt with his advocacy of pro-
hibition and total abstinence, and these
were policies which majority OF the citi-
zens OF Massachusetts then held. He felt

Our Debt to Great Britain.

An esteemed reader Of The Herald sends us
this communication: .sWill you kindly advise
through the columns of The Herald. what is the
cause of the gigantic Indebtedness of the United
States to Great Britain"
Our friend has in mind the estimate attributed
Ito Sir George Paish that the amount of American
obligations to Great Britain is somewhere between
Szoooooooo and $25ooooooo Others besides our
reader have spoken with some astonishment of the
magnitude of these figures and have wondered how
an obligation of that kind was created and exactly
what it represents.
The Herald is glad to enlighten its reader and
others well who have sought explanation of this
statement The amount named in the estimate of
Sir George Paish represents the following items of
indebtedness on what is commonly called Current
Account"
First; American importers owed large sums of
money to merchants of Great Britain when the con-
tinental war of Europe began
Second; American manufacturers owed to manu-
facturers of Great Britain large amounts for
modties which had been purchased and sent to this
country. .n
Third; American merchants who had established
credit accounts in some of the London banks for the
purpose of drawing drafts against these accounts
indebted in considerable amounts to the London
banks.
Fourth; American banks sold or discounted in
the London market in the early summer notes COM
monty called finance bills which had from sixty to
ninety days or even more to run.
The aggregate of these as well as some other
items was the amount estimated by Sir George Paish
not less than S9oooooooo, probably not more than
$2sooooooo'
Immediately after the war began the ordinary
sources by which payment could be made were
clogged Ordinarily in normal times American pur-
chases in Great Britain Offset by British pur-
chases IN the United States but this not possible
after Germany declared war
The American importers merchants and manufac-
turers anxious to pay their bills but were unable
do because they could gold or foreign
exchange. Sterling exchange quoted at price
which was prohibitive. Therefore, these American
debtors found themselves in the anomalous position
of business who possess excellent credit and who
have ample resources but who are unable to obtain
the kind of money negotiable instruments which
are employed in settling foreign obligations.
1t was for this reason that the national banks of
the United States underworld gold fund of $780,
100000 Against this gold fund could be drawn ex-
change London what amounted to the same
thing Ottawa, for the gold is or is to be deposited in
Ottawa, and with this exchange the American mer-
chants are to be enabled to pay their bills.
1t may be said in passing that this indebtedness
mad nothing to do with the investment by Great
Britain in American securities Much of the greater
part of that investment does not represent debt
immediately due, for the securities have long time
10 run. A debt would be created, however if Eng |
and sold at the market price at whatever price
she could obtain any portion of these securities

Americans who disposed to grumble at present
conditions in this country should read carefully
President Wilson's proclamation setting apart Thurs
day, November 26 as Thanksgiving Day. They can
not fail to be impressed with the fact that we have
many things to be thankful for and much to look
forward to. The President actually devotes himself
at some length to pointing out to the people the
opportunities brought to them by the war He well
describes the position of the United States in these
words: Our crops will feed all who need food )
the seIf-possession of our people amidst the most
serious anxietes and difficulties and the steadness
and resourcefulness of business men will serve
ether nations as well as own This is good
sentence for every one to bear in mind It should
be an aid to confidence and cheerfulness while we
work to overcome temporary obstacles in the land
of peace and plenty

In some quarters there has been disposition to
regard newspaper accounts of the slaughters in the
battles between Germans and allies as greatly exag-

hoped that the sacrifice of life was largely overesti-

London official bureau, ascribing this statement to
an eyewitness. AT point where one of our
brigades made a counter attack I,Ioo German dead
found in a trench and forty prisoners were
taken" Staggering and revolving to civilization as
are descriptions OF the carnage which the cables
bring, it would that may accept literally
true assertions that rivers and canals are running
wild with blood. And worst of all the end is not
