the Return Of the Republican
Party to Power Good Times
viii Come Back.

In no part of the correspondence OF
German agents. made public recently,
ia there more Significance than that
contained in the expressions OF conf
dence that Germany will be able to re-
gain all her trade in the American
market once the war is over.
The shrewd commercial agents OF
Germany foresee an immediate move
ment for the restoration of q protec-
tive tariff, according to this corre-
spondence. The predictions to this ef-
feet. however. are based upon the COM
plimentary view that American busi-
ness men are too shrewd to permit
the present nonprotective tariff to re-
main in operation.
Unless such steps are taken, the
Germans are aware they will not only
be able TO regain their old foothold
in the American market, along with
all other European nations that pay
wages lower than the American stand
ard. but will be able to do much more
They will not only be able to regain
the position they had under the Payne
Aldrich protective tariff law, but will
be able to take full advantage of the
existing tariff. which permits more
than sixty per cent OF all imports to
come in free.
II has been said that even the Demo
cratic party. under the pressure of
public opinion in recent years. had
abandoned the policy of free trade, No
Democrat ever dares utter peep
about free trade on the stump. Presi.
dent Wilson doubtless would have re-
sented the charge that he was free.
trade candidate. Yet. with free trade
applying to more than sixty per cent
OF all products. by what other name
can the present tarifI law be calledy
The Germans fully expect the Unit
ed States to return to the protective
tariff. There is no doubt that the
country will do so, but the Democrats
must say whether they will make the
change or force the country to wait
until the Republican party returns to
power
