Administration Admits
That the War Bene-

w dSllllSIOli OSPS' $3.50 W.
ial Correspondence.) Directly re-
versine the statements of Secre-
tary of Commerce Redfeld. That
revival of American industry was
not due to war orders. the De.
partment of Commerce has just
given out, statement concluding
with the assertion that survey
ing the whole field, it may justly
be caid that the worlds conflict
has been of unmeasured value to
American industry as a whole. "
The same statement contains
practical admissions of the sound
ness of the protective tariff prin-
ciple. The Departments bulle-
tin says: 'In Q more or less un-
comfortable way, we have sud-
denly been brought to recognize
the unwisdom, the folly. of ship
ping vast amounts of the crude
material of our farms, forests,
and mines 5000 miles across the
ocean, and buying it back in a
manufactured form, at vastly
enhanced price. We have like
wise come to recognize the abb
surdity of allowing many natural
products OF the tropics, of South
America, Of the Far East, to find
their way to Europe, and of pay
ing foreign intelligence and skill
to transform them into articles
of daily need in cnr lives.
This attitude now taken by q
Department under the control of
a Democratic administration is.
exactly what Republicans have.
contended for from the founda-
ton of the party. During every
Democratic administration. we
have shipped raw material a.
broad and bought it back in man
ufactufed form at 2 vastly In
creased price. We were doing
exactly that under the present
Democratic tariff law, until the
European war interviewed and
served as a protective wall to cut
off foreign imports.
Probably nothing that has come
out Of the Department of Com
merce will serve more to embar-
rass the Democratic party in the
coming campaign than this state-
ment expressly acknowledging
the vital Importance of rnanufac-
turing goods at home. The De-
partment points to the course OF
events that followed the cutting.
off by war of the aniline imports
from Germany and Che supply Of
potash from the same source,
with the resulting ''trerNendous
impulse givento the expansion Of
domestic manufacture" The
Department might as well have
made its acknowledgment apply
to a long list Of commodities hete4
tofore supplied largely from a.
broad but cut off by the war
with resulting tremendous inn
pulse to the expansion OF dotnes'
tic manufacture.
IntIe acknowled edgnaeAt Of facts
as they exist, the Department
seems to have made a complete
confession. In expression Of Op-
inions it does not go SO far, for il
says that it docs not believe

WASHINGTON, Jan. so.-secretary
Bryan, one OF the speakers at a talk
fest at the National Press Club flec.
tured several hundred correspondents
on their duties. He said that every
newspaper man should own the paper
he writes for, and predicted that the
press will mot be what it ought to
be until then. He declared that he
liked to say things $50 much that he
had held on to his paper, Just so he
could speak out when he desired to
do SO.
Speaking of the trials OF his office.
he said that IL the newspaper men of
Washington knew what a task 1t Is

court Of the murder OF his wife, Freda
Thomas. at their home near the Rich
land Coal works on last Emancipation
day. did not see INTO realize what the
verdict meant until after he had been
returned to the county jail, md yes
terday he went TO pieces and the Of
ficers were compelled TO resort to
drugs to keep him from breaking
altogether. y
When the colored man realized
that his fate was possibly doomed he
broke down and wept, and his sobs
could be heard throughout the jail.
Other prisoners also wept and It took
strong hearts to get him TO calm HIM
self. He Strengthened up later and
seemed to be able to leave the cell.
but the officials did not take any
chances with him.
3 DR.. T. Aspinall McGauig has made
arrangements TO have atalk with the
doomed man cometime to-day, and
hoped to cheer him up. He has been
with manymen even up to the very

The attorneysEw win no doubt make a
strong plea with the court to grant
him q new trial, hut II seems that

that the court will ask that the ut.

that the cabinet members had decided
that the 1915 departing entail estimates

The attempts to cause apprehen.

This tax expires by law on January
next and 1t Is apparent that without
IN extra session the administration
would be In danger OF being unable
to extend the life OF the statute. The
suggestion that such a resolution be
put through at the present session OF
congress. leaving ii discretionary with
the President, was rejected by the
congress leaders not only because OF
the principle involved! but because
they feared IL would be bad politics
for the party
Another suggestion that has been
made by the administration, and this
Is said to have come from Secretary
McAdoo, was that the exempt lions Sun:
der the income tax law be decreased
from $4,000 for a married and $1,000
for q single person to $4,000 and
$1,000 respectively. This OF course
would catch thousands who are mot
now sub ect to the income tax. This
plan also was turned down.
Political Effect eFared.S
The Democrats realized that an Se1:
tension OF the income tax, following
30 closely upon the heels of the war
revenue measure, would finish any
chances which the party may have in
1916! 81
The fact became known that the
present activity in administration cir
cles over the growing deficit in the
treasury was caused by representa-.
tons from congress leaders and not
by the administration officials them.
selves. e Il
Several OF the Democratic leaders
in congress who are responsible for
handling the appropriations have
warned the administration, from the
beginning Of the present session. OF
the urgent necessity OF holding down
appropriations. Neverthe less the 8esti;
mates have continued to pour In upon
congress, and these. together with
the $50, 900, 900 ship purchase bill call
for! appropriations far in excess of any
ever before made by congress.
AT a conference at the White House
House attended by Secretary McAdoo,
Majority Leader Underwood and
Chairman Fitzgerald of the house
committee on appropriations the two
congress leaders again emphasized
the necessity Off retrenchments.
Their efforts were directed chiefly
at the appropriations for the next fis
cal year, fors ii is In that connection
that they believe there is the greatest
danger. Some OF these leaders pri
vatelyf estimate the deficit for the
next year from 10000, 900 to 500,
100000 and this does not take into &C
count. the moneys that may be needed
under the ship purchase bill, II 1T ,s
passed, or the s32, 100000 that will be
lost IL sugar goes on the free list May
d, 1916. 4
The house leaders presented some
startling figures to the administration
These show that six years ago the
cash balance in the treasury approx
mated 100000, 900; "a year ago, $170,,
10000, and today, s62,o00,000. II the
cash balance should fall below $50.
