rarIm and the Elections.

Elections held between presidential
years may mean much In a national
way. When the tariff has been forced
deliberately to the front in local and
state campaigns. as was dore In Mas
sachusetts. Pennsylvania and the con.
gressional districts OF New York. the
results are bound to have national sig
nificance.
That the trend toward Republican
ism Is due very largely to the empha-
sis laid upon the protective tariff
issue was made quite clear by the Sc
lection of Mr.. Mccall. formerly a mem
Der of the Republican ways and means
committee Of the house. as the stand
ard bearer of the Republicans in Mas
sachusetts AMI by the plain challenge
in Pennsylvania that the vote for the
Republican ticket In the local cleo
lions would have a moral influence
upon the presidential election.
The people of the different states
clearly were actuated by the desire
to strip the issues of all aspects not
definitely connected with the problem
OF living in America. They felt that
the first requisite was to insure re-
turn to the protective tariff, and thus
incidentally make certain of the per.
manency of prosperity.

self when peace is established. That
there will be general readjustment
Of tariffs throughout the world is In
dicated by Great Britain's prepara-
tons for adopting this form of protec-
ton for her own markets.
The antidumping clause which the
administration will propose to the next
congress Is merely q partial remedy,
but would be most effective In con-
junction with protective tariff.
Without such tariff. however. there
will be no need for foreigners. with
their cheaper labor costs. to dump
their goods upon America below the
cost at home. They can comply with
an antidumping law and yet enter the
American market on account OF their
low cost Of production.
It is in the tariff that Americas
protection in the future trade war
will be found. The tariff affords means
for protecting American industry and
wages. It also affords means for de-
veloping an American merchant ma
rine.

BUSINESS IN CANADA.
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported Of the wheat crop Of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate OF an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward of
rs bushels per acre. There 10 no
portion of that great west of $4,000
square miles In which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for ave years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price of
the land out OF this years crop Of
oats. No doubt. others. too. who took
the advice OF the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as we'll.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year Is best told In the
language of the railways in the added
cars that It has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run. the increased tom
mage Of the grain steamers.
II 10 found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The @. p. r. earnings for the second
week OF October showed an increase
of $4,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings Of the corresponding week
of 1913, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date. The
increase in G. p. r. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only $685.. 1000. or less than half of the
increase reported this year. The
grain movement In the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources Of the Canadian roads as
never before. despite their increased
facilities. The c. p. r. Is handling 1000
cars per day, q new record. The
G. T. r. and the G. N. r. are also max.
ing new shipment records, The other

ada Steamships Company. the largest
freighter of the Canadian feet on the
Upper Lakes. brought down q cargo of

Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board" In all directions this
fall. due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
of the new crOp began in August.
4,265.791 bushels have been reloaded
for England. France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
OF American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be 1t remem.

No Third Party Now.

The Progressive party virtually dis
appeared this fall in the states which
held elections. Its vote was so small
that no one continues to cherish the
delusion that It may revive and re-
cover its lost ground. As separate

But the country IL still as much de-
voted to progress as 1t ever was. The
Progressives Of 1912 are still progress
sives in aims. spirit and influence.
They have only determined to work
through the Republican party to get
results which could not be attained
