some masons and a little way out at

THE COUNTRY'S HOPE

Senator John W. Weeks. of Massa-
chusetts. who has been spoken OF as
among the probable sspirants for the
Republican nomination for the Presi-
dency. has been doing some good mis-
sionary work In the west IN the
speeches he has made. Speaking TO
the business men OF Kansas City the
other day. he declared that the pros
perity Of the country depends upon
the election OF a Republican President
next year. at least that was the plain
inference to be drawn from his asser-
tion that a return OF better times was
contingent upon the enactment OF
tariff legislation which will protec, the
business Of this country from the in
evitable influx OF importations follow
ing the close of the war" The cleo
ton OF a Republican candidate will
mean the passage OF tariff act that
will correct the manifest evils OF the
present law. which has only been
saved from universal Reputation by
the artificial stimulus OF the war ex-
portations. No candidate for Congress
In a debatable district and no csndi-
date for the Presidency stands much
chance OF being elected who does not
sound economic policy that will inter-
pose barrier between foreign and do
nestle industry.
Senator Weeks sounds timely
warning against the spirit OF false
confidence that is being aroused over
the great increase In our exports and
the decreasing volume OF imports.
These are plainly abnormal conditions
which will. without question. be re-
versed so soon as peace is declared
and the Democratic tariff gets a
chance to operate freely without the
obstruction Of the war. When the ar.
mics are Withdrawn. when the surviv-
ors are turned back into the channels
OF peaceful industry. when the al
ready low wages are still further low
cred by the necessities OF the men
who must have employment, and when
to all this is added the insane tariff
policy of the Democratic administra-
ton. the experience OF the past die
tates that something must be done 10

American workingman from such con-
ditions. The old saying is suscept-
