War "ProsperitY."

The vast influence of the European
war in the development of American
industry is convincingly portrayed in
an article by Edward Mott Wooley in
the current number of Everybody's.
While the author studiously avoids
anything that savors of partisan pol
itics, the array of facts presented
leaves no room for doubt that be-
cause the European war is a more in
vincible bar to imports from Europe
than any protective tariff could be, it
has started American factories and
given employment to American labor
in enterprises heretofore filling the
pockets of workmen abroad. Begin
ming with dyes and ending with dolls,
the writer enumerates a long list of
articles such as manganese, pottery.
glass, creosote, potash, mineral wat
ers, lenses for pocket flash lights,
silver futed glass, spectacles, rubber
hose, cutlery, crockery, porcelain,
paper novelties and toys, which were
formerly imported in large quantit-
les but which America is now maxi
ing for her home markets or finding
substitutes Not only that, but Amer
can products are supplying South
America markets where imports from
Europe have been cut Off The ex4
tent to which home producers are
profiting by the exclusion of foreign
made goods will be serious stumbl-
ing block to the Democratic advo-
Gates of increased importations I'M
der low tariff or free trade, but facts
are facts, though only a war could
forcefully impress them upon some
American minds. Yet, it is true, as
Wolley says, eve aven't conquered
much of anything in the aggregate,
though many things in units. We
are just beginning to fight" The real
battle will be fought in Novembert
1916, when the American people will |
decide at the ballot box whether they
will retain the advantages they have |
gained, by enacting a tariff law that |
will keep out foreign products after |
the war is oyer.-Manchester Jour
