If Woodrow Wilson expects Republicans to "stand BY him, it is
about time that he displayed some of that courteous spirit of con-
cession which may %rghtfuny be expected when opponents cooper
ate for a high purpose.
BY maintaining a blockade, Great Britain has compelled Ger
many to supply her own needs and has prevented her from spend
ing money abroad. Now British statesmen are beginning to ques-
ton the wisdom of that policy and argue that it would injure Ger
many more if she were permitted to spend money abroad, thus de-
pleatng her own monetary resources. So far the relative inter-
ets of Great Britain and Germany are concerned, the discussion is
of the principle of protection: Shutting out foreign goods and
keeping money at home to pay home labor, is the secret Of National
wall be established by war OF by a protective tariff. Any ten year
old boy ought to be able to understand an economic principle as
clear as this.
Desparing Of any merchant marine relief from the Democratic
party, and with the evils Of the sea1len ai IL in contemplation 3%
financing Of the 100000 Ghinese-Amemcan Trans-Pacific
Steamship Company, and negotiations for the purchase Of ships
are now under way, according to Dr. y. K. Koo, China's first Minis
Chinese flag and that this is the first fruit Of the visit CT the
Chinese industrial commissioners to this country several months
ago. Thus, due to the seamen's law, the Chinese dragon chases
the Stars and Stripes from the high seas.
Because of decreased traffic, the railroads were compelled to
year. This reduction meant nearly $685. 900, 900 less paid out for
labor and material produced by labor; General business depres-
sion forced the reduced expenditure. Every farmer who has but;
ter, eggs, meat, vegetables and other food products to sell, suffered
his share Of the loss because work1nen had $138,O00,0OQ less money
with which to buy.
With charming naivete the Treasury Department confesses that
the income tax from individuals was but $2, 900 900 below that

mate and return is pretty close figuring for fnanciers Of the Dem
ocratic brand, and Of course the loss is blamed on the war in
Europe.
