The fact that there is a decided
difference of opinion regarding evil
dences of returning prosperity is
made the text of some interesting
comment by the Washington cor
respondent of the New York journal
of Commerce. Reports received at
the capital, outside of those which
are presented by the agents of the
department. do not agree as to pros
porous conditions. We should think
they would not agree. The Govern
ment agents went out with instruc-
lions to find prosperity. They re-
ported having found it. and the coun-
try was forthwith assured by the
Secretary of Commerce and the
Comptroller of the currency that
prosperity had returned. But re-
ports are now current in Washington
which prove that the prosperity pic
ture was greatly overpainted; that
while in some lines of production
and business European war orders
have helped to improve conditions,
in many other lines there have been
no marked improvements, especially
in merchandising, where the decreas-
ed average volume of sales still
shows the effect of greatly curtailed
purchasing as the result of lost en-
ployment and thinner and fewer pay
envelopes. Confirmation of this is
found in Bradstreet's of May s. as

pecially for rheumatism, lame back

decrease of 10 per cent from March,
but an increase of 80 per cent over
April year ago, and to this extent
the largest total ever recorded in
April. Liabilities aggregated s34,-
029, 164, and increase of 10 per cent
over March and nearly double what
they were in April a year ago. For
four months of the calender year
failures were AZ per cent more num-
erous than in 1914, while liabilities
are 40 per cent larger.
A 3S per cent increase over the
failure of the same month last year.
the largest total ever recorded for
April. and with liabilities nearly
double what they were in April 1914;
failures in the first four months of
1915 more numerous by 43 per cent
han the same four months of 1914,
and liabilities 40 per cent larger
all This shows there is good reason
for differences of opinion regarding
the return of prosperity. The fact
is that the business of the country
is still suffering from Free-Trade
depression and stagnation. You may
lead a horse to water, but you can
not make him drink. Neither can
you bring back prosperity by falsely
asserting that prosperity has come
back. Prosperity will come back
when il is given a chance to come
back. That will be when Protection
has come back.

Lincoln Protcctionist.

The Dresden publishing Company
of New York, has sent to many news
papers of the country an account of
the labors of Prof F. Taussig, of
Harvard to prove that Abraham Lin
coin never said:
when we buy goods abroad, we
get the goods, and the foreigner gets
the money; and when we buy the
goods made at home we keep both
the goods and the money"
Why all this anxiety about the
origin of this statement?
It's truth is undcnied and unde-
niable.
It's wisdom is worthy of Abraham
Lincoln.
Even Professor Taussig will scarce
ly deny that Abraham Lincoln was a
protectionist.
Being a protectionist, Lincoln, with
other protectionists, based his belief
upon the very theory of the effect of
protection which is expressed in this
simple sentence that has been used
with such effect that Prof. Taussig
has been digging around trying to
uisprove its Lincolnian origin.
This illustration, whether or not it
may properly be attributed to Abra-
ham Lincoln, was merely a clear
way of setting forth a truth which
Lincoln expounded in other ways
again and again. For Lincoln
was not only a protectionist. but,
as he declared in his first announce
ment that Robert G. Ingersol gave
the first currency to the illustration
attributed to Lincoln. in a speech
which appears in the authorized YER
sion of Ingersolls works. published
by the Dresden publishing Company
of New York, as follows:
Lincoln quit the farm-went down
the Ohio and Mississippi as a hand
on a flat boat-afterwards clerked in
a country store-them in partnership
with another bought the store-fail-
ed. Nothing left but few debts
learned the art of surveying-made
about half a living and paid some
thing on the debts-read law ad-
cases-nominated for the legislature
and made speech. This speech was
in favor of a tariff, not only for rev.
enue, but TO encourage American
manufacturers and to protect Ameri-
can workingmen. Lincoln knew then
as well as we do now that everything
to the limits of the possible, that
Americans. He knew the great men
and great women are the best things
that a nation can produce-the finest
crop country can possibly raise.
ITO invent, to manufacture, to
take advantage of the forces of ma
ture-this requires thought. talent.
genius. This develops the brain and
gives wings to the Imagination.
1T is better for Americans to pur-
chase from Americans, even If the
things purchased cost more.
IF we purchase ton of steel rails
from England for twenty dollars. then
we have the rails and England the
money. But if we buy ton of steel
rails from an American, then Ameri-
ca has both the rails and the money.
Protectionists are satisfied to know
that Lincoln believed in protection as
a policy essential to the welfare OF
he American people. The authentic
ity of any particular quotation from
him on this subject is therefore of
no very great Importance.

| Efforts Of South Philadelphia to procure
bridge over the Schuylklll River al

years. was rewarded today when the
span was dedicated in the presence OF
the Mayor, his Cabinet, Select and Com

officials.
The elaborate ceremonies attracted
hundreds of residents of that section Of
the city. Although the bridge has been
In use for more than n month the formal
dedication was postponed that the exer-
cises might be held under more favorable
weather conditions.
At 1:3O o'clock luncheon was given
in the Point Breeze Office of the United

attended by the Mayor and members Of
Councils representing the wards benefited
by the opening OF the bridge. Addresses
were made by the cty's Chief Bxecu-

others
The official party then proceeded to
the bridge where an immense gathering

as city property by the Mayor, after which

The new span Is an important addition
to the municipal bridge system, since it
connects a densely populated section of
southwestern Philadelphia with n district

intended to defray the entire cost, was

mands of the people supporting the prof.
