THE "ROBBER TARIFF WAS
TO BLAME

Somewhere we haze read-it
happens to be in an Eastern news
paper-that Republican defeats Ill
the Presidential elections of 1892
and 1912 were due in very large
part to the Mckinley and the
Payne-A1drich tariff bills passed
shortly before those years.
Now were they? Not exactly.
To be more accurate the Repub-
lican defeats of those years were
due to misrepresentation OF the
tariff, which was blamed for ev-
erything and given credit for
nothing.
Discomfort is not the product
OF the struggle against adversely,
but seems to be more prevalent
in prosperity, when the mind Is
relaxed from the multitudlnous
perplexities incident to making
ends meet.
For example, the Mckinley
tariff, under which the country
hourished, was blamed for foster
ing notwithstanding the rich
richer and the poor poorer.
And this idea was so persistent
" hammered into the people by
those who wished to supplant the
Republican party in power that
many people believed it.
Shoes advanced in price, and
this was attributed to the tariff
on hides. Hides were admitted
TO free duty, and the price OF leath-
err advanced and shoes were dear
er than ever,
The Payne-Aldrich bill was
passed and was followed by phe-
nomenal prosperity. But food
prices advanced, and meat went
beyond reason. The ",obber ta'.
if" was to blame.
The Democrats enacted the
present tariff, and food prices
scared higher than ever. In addi-
ton to this work became scarce
and business dull, and conditions
were infinitely worse than ever
before.
The trouble is that, in their
for the loaves and fishes
of power, those who desire
OF administration studi-
ously, persitcntly and energetic
ally misrepresent the facts, and
finally succeed in fooling the peo-
pie into voting against their own
intercsts.-Pendleton (Ore.) Tri-

THE REMEDY is NOT A
COMMISSION

Whatever may be necessary to
give us better balanced tariff laws
Congress must provide it. And
the remedy is not a commission,
or a board, but more men in Con-
ufess, Senate and House, who
know the subject and are able
to treat it Understandings in all
of its bearings. When protection
is the issue, and wins at the polls.
we ought to have logical tariff
law on protection lines when pro-
lection loses, a logical tariff law
on anti-protection lines.
No Congress has ever revised
the tariff without abundant infor-
nation at hand, collected by men
entirely competent for the work
experts, if you will, and con-
scientious in their labors. And
they would not have executed
their tasks better if they had been
called commissioners and APP
pointed by the President instead
of by the members of the Ways
end Means Comnlit &c in Office
at the time.-Wasl;ngton Star.

WHAT CAUSED THE
DEFICIT

The administration may wrig-
gle as much as it pleases but it
cannot escape the fact that it was
its own revenue reducing semi
free trade tariff that caused the
deficit.
The administration may
squeeze war taxes out OF the pco-
at peace with all the world, but
the inflow OF these exactions will
not remove the necessity for dis
carding the tariff slashing Viii
I on Underwood law that made
such taxes necessary.
The administration may lower
the exemption from the income
tax so as to include in its drag
net all who earn as much as So
600 a year, but it will molly serve
to impress upon larger proper
ton OF the population that it was
its own laundering over the tariff
that brought about the taxing OF
small incomes.
The administration may seek
and develop new sources OF rev
enue to meet the tariff deficit, but
it will only succeed the more GER
tainly to demonstrate to coun-
try less able to pay that it was
the very tariff that paralyzed in
dustry, destroyed profits, cut
wages and produced unemploy-
ment that makes it necessary to
open lean pocket books to make
up for the revenue cut off by the
ff.-New York Mail.

THAT ALLEGED TRADE
EXPANSION"
THAT

The Washington officials are
endeavoring to get comfort from
the large favorable trade balances
of the last few months, endeav-
oring thereby to make the people
believe in an era OF prosperity
which does not exist,
1t appears that returns from
custom houses usually handling
about SO per cent of our foreign
trade show January exports OF
$238,574,O06 and imports of $107,-
440,2O8, making a favorable trade
balance of $13l, 133,SSS, said to be
the largest trade balance in our
favor we have ever had.
AS to the exports, while large,
the amount is not unusual, the eX-
cessive favorable trade balance
being the result of the smallest
importations we have had in a
month for long time. The moro
prosperous we are the more we
import, and importations are es-
pecially favored by our Demo
cratic tariff
The fact is that our exports
during 1914 were less by nearly
$370,000,O00 than in 1913, the only
gains being i'll oats, wheat, flour
and beef. The competition of the
belligerents for those particular
products has largely increased
not only the quantities but the
values of those commodities,
which is reflected in the increaS-
ed prices which our own peole
have in a year of unusual plenty
from our diminished incomes, out
of which we are also called to pay
unprecedented amounts for the
support OF our own unemployed
and the relief of European war
victims.
In international finance the ia
vorable balance which we are &C
cumulating from the sale OF food
stuffs at exorbitant prices is
doubtless very convenient.
But a similar balance resulting
from the sale of foodstuffs at eX-
orbitant prices is doubtless very
convenient.
Our Department of Commerce
keeps us abundantly supplied with
information about our exports OF
food and raw material so that the
details can be given at almost any
time to date in regard to such eX-
ports.
AS to our trade in manufactured
products, however, we get almost
no current information, appar
emily because the figures would
not read we'll. We shall get it
all, however, in due time.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

DEATH BY FIRE
FATE OF COUPLE
Share Louis, South Side Tailor,
Burned to Death and Wife
Cannot Live.
EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE

Heroclally endeavoring to save her
husband from death by burning,
Mrs. Share Louis, 49O7 South
Twenty-sixth street. South Side, was
herself enveloped in flames and
fatally burned last evening at $3.50
o'clock. Her husband was burned
beyond recognition while the wife is
at the South Omaha hospital await
Ing momentary death. DIR. E. +.
Shanahan attended the couple.
The accident happened In the upstairs
over the tailor and pressing shop operated
by Louis at Twenty-sixth and n streets,
South Side.
According to the meager information
at hand, the husband had gone upstairs
with some clothes. just saturated with
gasoline, to hang them up. The supposi-
ton is that he reclined on couch. and
lighting a cigaret. accidentally threw the
stub OF the borning match among the
clothes. A loud explosion occurred. The
wife, who was downstairs rushed up to
aid her husband, hearing his cries.
a moment later she appeared at the
banishter\around the back porch her en-
to the ground eighteen feet below. Jerry
Riorden. laborer living In the rear of
the two-story flat In which the explosion
occurred, rushed to her aid and sue

Mrs, Louis was rushed TO tho South

case hopeless after an Investigation. and
said that death was only matter of
hours.

charge OF the children.
Mrs. Kenney attempted to restrain the
mother from going TO the aid OF her hus-
band. but was unsuccessful. The body of
the husband was found rigidly stretched
full length before the couch against
which II is supposed that he had been
thrown by the force of the explosion.
The arms were outstretched in a semi

with his wife clasped to him. Death oc-
