power we should have ceased to exist

Even now we are not out OF the
wood. Some one may maliciously pick
a quarrel with us before We get our
house In order and use the easy weop-
on which has been demonstrated II
Is to meet such a contingency that the
government has rushed enormous
stores Of food at the public expense
Into the country. In very few
months the new harvest will have ap-
peared. On the whole, we can face
the immediate future without undue
depression. though there remain some
causes for anxiety. These will no
doubt be energetically handled by this
new and efficient government which
has taken the place OF those discredited
politicians who led us intoa war with
out having foreseen how helpless we
were against an obvious form OF attack.
ALREADY the lines OF our reconstruc-
ton are evident The FIRST and most
important Is that our party men real.
lie that there Is something more vital
than their academic disputes about
free trade or protection and that all
theory must give way TO the fact that
a country is In an artificial and dan
gerous condition n she does not pro-
duce within her own borders SUM-
cient food at least to keep life I'm her
population. Whether this should be
brought about by a tar on foreign
foodstuffs or by bounty upon home
products or by combination OF the
two Is now under discussion. But all
parties are combined upon the princi-
pie, and. though II viii undoubtedly
entail either rise In prices or dete-
rioration In quality In the food Of the
working classes, they will at least be
insured against so terrible visitation
as that which is fresh in our memo
ries. At any rate. we have got past
the stage of argument IL must be so.
The increased prosperity OF the farm
ing interest and. as we will hope, the
cessation Of agricultural emigration
will be benefits TO be counted against
the obvious disadvantages.
The second lesson Is the immediate
construction OF not one. but two. dou-
BILE lined railways under the channel
We stand In white sheet over the
matter. since the project has always
been discouraged in these columns. but
we are prepared TO admit that. had
such railway communication been com.

forwarding supplies from Marseilles.
we should have avoided our recent
surrender We still insist that We can.
not trust entirely TO a tunnel. since our
enemy might have allies In the Medi
terranean. but In a single contest with
any power OF the north OF Europe Il
would certainly be OF inestimable ben.
eft. There may be dangers attendant
upon the existence of a tunnel. but II
must now be admitted that they are
trivial compared TO those which come
from it's absence. As 10 the building

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $500 PER YEAR
WE'D. DEC. |. 1916

For years the tariff question
has been the bone of contention
between the two great political
parties, and for years it has see
sawed to the disadvantage of a
settled national policy, disturb
ing business more or less, as rad
zeal changes were made or con-
templated. What seems to be to
the best interest Of the people
to the best interest of develop
ment is some settled policy of
taxation that will provide suffi-
cient revenue in times of peace
or when normal commercial con-
ditions prevail and yet not build
a tariff wall that will build one
class at the expense of another.
There seems but little doubt that
the great body of people want
only a fair and equitable tariff,
also they are not approving
continual tinkering, whether up
or down, that tends to disrupt or
impair business for any length of
time. 1t is also certain that po-
litIcal parties will continue to
handle this question along the
same line as heretofore so long
as it can be made a political as
set, and that a change of party
will mean a change of the tariff,
and each time produce undesir-
able business conditions. In the
light of events, with broader
view of the business necessities
of this country, embracing all
lines of endeavor, it seems that
the time has come when the tar
iff question should be taken from
politics and committed to a tariff
commission made of men who
can make the necessary changes
as actual conditions require.
Certainly this would either be
established close to the theory OF
protection or from a revenue
standpoint, but under wise SUI
pervision the time would come
when the needed changes would
be made without affecting bus
mess and not to the advantage
or detriment of one section Of
country or any class of business
AS we see it at this particular
time it would be the move fol
Congress to make and woul(
strengthen rather than weaker
in the 1916 campaign. 1t mat
tiers but little what brings de
preston or what stimulates in
dustry, it is almost iDexplainabl,
to millions who believe the tariff
to be the heart of commercial
action. By taking this out O
politics and forming a compe
tent commission it would be |
