The war in Europe has vetoed the low tariff
law 1t has erected barrier as effective as pro-
lection 1t has likewise flooded the country with
war orders, putting many mills on full time. The
result is a remarkable proof of the value of pro-
lection as stimulator of prosperity. Business
was stagnant while the Underwood tariff operated
under normal conditions. The moment these con-
ditions were changed and the became SUBJ
stitute for protection the return to prosperity
began. The movement has been FASTENED by
orders for war material of course, but this has
not been the decisive factor
Mr. Wilson may see, therefore, a prosperity
induced by the notification of his economic meas
ures; a prosperity brought about in spite of his
policies not on account Of them. Nevertheless,
he is certain to profit from the conditions. Voters
do not ask why's and wherefores. They are salts
efd when they are prosperous. and dissatisfied
when they not prosperous. The war has intro
duced into the political situation new factor fav-
orable to the Democrats.
1t is imperative. therefore that the Republican
party enter the campaign next summer united. 1t
has hard fight ahead of it at any event. 1t can
not afford to be reactionary. 1t must be aggres-
sive as it was in Lincoln's day. 1t must wage a
campaign of education. Otherwise the electorate
may be deluded into believing that prosperity oc-
casioned by temporary conditions is permanent
Our great industries must not be dependent on
the policies of other nations. but on the economic
program adhered to by the United SGfes--Ph-
adclphia Evening Ledger.

r HERE had been some noteworthy
passages in the reports which
Col. Francis Nicholson sent TO

colonies particularly in those at the

ties with regard to these mauers in

fOrma tier he wished by deputy.
The King and his ministers in Eng
land saw very clearly. when they
read his careful dispatches. that they
could not wisely act upon such sug-
gestions yet: but they knew that
what Col Nicholson thus openly and
definitely advised was what must oc-
cur to the mind of every thoughtful
and observant man who was given a
post of authority and guidance in the
colonies. whether he thought IL wise
to advise action in the matter or not
