Our Lost Business Opportunities

The conditions which brought on
the present shortage Of money existed
months before the outbreak OF hostili
ties in Europe. This country owes
about six billions OF dollars abroad,
represented by American securities
held by foreign investors.
Under a Protective Tariff America
has exported enough goods over and
above imports, to wipe out the inter-
est debt.
Under the Free'Trade law Our ex-
ports decreased and imports increased
and were sold in competition with
American goods cheaper than they
could be made here at a profit and
the American standard Of wages main
tanned. Factories closed, with a re-
sultant industrial depression.
The balance OF trade was against
US and we were unable to clear our
debt with merchandise, and moreover
we're buying goods in foreign countries
with actual money. At the outbreak
Of the war America was called on to
settle in cash; hence the gold pool
which taxed the resources Of our
banking system and impaired our cir
culating medium. Thus a financial
panic was added to industrial stag
nation.
With imports shut down and Europe
taking the products Of farms and fac.
tories this gold must come back and
business will be resumed on a normal
footing. 1t took time to bring about
this condition and it will take time to
remedy it. Had we been operating
under a Protective Tariff we would
now be in position TO capture the CON-
merce OF the world.
The Free-Trade theory is great
bait to catch votes about once every
twenty years. = Springview (Nsb. }

Blessings" Of Low Tariff

Where are the blessings Of low
Tariff when the people must make up
the deficit by paying extra for gasoline,
beer, sodawater, theater tickets,
chewing gum, etc7 For it must be
remembeted that the estimated deficit
in governmental revenues is not based
on the imports and exports Of the
month Of August, but on the, FIVE
months previous to the outbreak Of
the European war. The Democratic
Tariff without special taxes would
have bankrupted our Government, war
or no war. The last Tariff, under the
Cleveland administration, had exactly
the same effect, only in that case
instead Of special taxes the admins
tration issued more bonds. President
Wilson is more fortunate than
President Cleveland, for he has the
war in Europe to hide behind. The
new internal revenue taxes are to
make up the natural and inevitable
deficit Of Democratic Tariff, and the
European struggle makes it conven'
lent to refer 10 it as war tax

TWO KINDS

There are two kinds of people on earth to-day;
Just two kinds Of people, no more, say.
Not the sinner and saint, for It's we'll understood
The good are half bad and the bad are half good
Not the rich and the poor for to count mans wealth
You must first know the state Of his conscience and
health
Not the humble and proud, for, in fes little span
Who puts on vain airs is not csunted man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years
Bring each his laughter and each man his tears.
No, the two kinds Of people on earth that I mean
Are the people who lift and the people who lean.
Wherever you go you will find the worlds masses
Are always divided in inst these two classes;
And oddly enough, you will find too ween
There is only one litter to twenty who lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing the load
Of overtaxed lifters who toll down the road?
Or are you leaner, who lets Others bear
Your portion Of labor and worry and care?

All over the state there is an awaken,

better service from everyone who

The War Saved the Party

Deny it as they will, yet the fact re-
mains tha, the war in Europe broke ou'
10 the nick Of time to save the demo
cratic party from political bankruptcy,
The unreasonable slashing Of the
tariff and the consequent adoption
Of a semi-lree trade national policy
made it absolutely necessary to raise
sufficient funds by direct taxation to
carry on the affairs Of government, bu,
at the psychological moment the big
war broke out,
And what was the excuse2 Simply
this, that inasmuch as commercial i'm
ports had been checked, with re-
sultant shortage in revenue from Gus
toms duties, it became necessary to
raise revenue in some other way to
conduct inc business OF the govern
ment, and so the iniquitous tax measure
was Matched at the desperate command
Of President Wilson and crammed
through congress, thus covering up a
glaring flaw in the tariff tinkering law
and so binding the country as to the
real cause OF the tax. Pueblo Vim

number Of employees Of 69S,627.
The locomotives used increased d,

Freight business originating on the
lines increased 8l,850,2OS tons.

cratic control. Over 100000 former
employees are now seeking other work.
Net operating revenues for the last
fiscal year decreased Sl02,234,248.
Freight revenues for May this year
were over S24,000,0O0 less than for
May 1913. That was long before
there was any talk Of war in Europe.
That tremendous and disastrous
change was all due to Democratic
control and Free Trade legislation.

Flowers in the Home

Miss Bah Bell, women's lecturer ol
the Missouri State Board OF Agricul,
ture, is the special advocate Of the
country home. Miss Bell says the
general conditions as to need Of i'm
provement are as marked in town
homes as in country homes. She
makes this statement after survey
Of a year and a half in the field.
Asked ior a mid winter suggestion, a
hint how any and every home can be
frightened and cheered most for the
least effort or expense, Miss Bell
says
TO add cheer to the home, there
nothing to compare with bright or
fragrant flower or vigorous foliage
plant. A bright note Of color meet
ing the eye as you enter the room or
the fragrant odor Of narcissus or
Chinese lily to greet you,' when your
mind is overburdened with thoughts
OF too numerous duties, puts new
joy into living.
Have you flowers in your homer
II not, set about at once to cult
vate their friendship. There is moth
ing more charming than such bulbous
plants as the narcissus, raised in a
glass jar Of water. They need but
little care and thrive wonderfully at
this time OF the year. Peel OF the
outer brown skin so that it will not
discolor the water. Search out a
widemouthed jar or bowl, put the
bulbs in it snd stay them in place
with clean stones or shells. You will
enjoy the green shoots as they grow
from day to day So rapidly do they
progress that you can almost see them
grow. Six weeks after planting they
are in full bloom and fl. the room
with their fragrance. Such as these
are delightful gifts to carry to sick.
"Begonias, primroses and geraniumS
are and-bys for color. II the flowers
are cut and placed in a tall vase,
they add cheer TO the dining room,
which (by the way) should be the
most cheerful room in the house-tor
good cheer aids digestion.

A Sort Of Retrihutive Tax

This War Tax is misnomer as we'll
as nuisance. Its proper name is
Democratic Administration Tax, a sort
Of retribution imposed on the country
for intrusting its industrial legislation
to the party OF traditional free trade,
with the inevitable consequence oi
diminishing business and increasing
taxation. All good Americans are
praving for peace abroad and prosperity
at home. But as prayer seems to have
lost its potency, let US see what can
be done by voting for peace, protec-
tion and the payroll. - American

DO the Right Thing Now"

Speaking Of the message OF Andrew
Jackson, quoted by the Times in ev-
idence Of the TACT that encouragement,
Of legitimate enterprise is sterling
democratic doctrine, the Milwaukee
Sentinel says:
Good doctrine, Mr.. Mack, .
but we are afraid Old Hickory's per,
sonal view has been too often repudi'
ated by the party councils to serve Mr..
Mack's purpose.
Our Wisconsin contemporary is mis-
taken in its premises as to the position
Of Andrew Jackson and the Democracy.
President Jackson did not interpose a
personal view" differing from the
recognized principles Of the party, he
confirmed what the line OF democratic
presidents, beginning with Jefferson,
had done before him, and the Balti'
more platform in turn confirms what
Jackson and the other democratic
presidents did. The Baltimore plat
form says:
We recognize that our system Of
Tariff taxation is intimately connected
with the business Of the country, and
we favor the ultimate attainment OF
the principles we advocate by legisla-
ton that will not iDjure or destroy
Legitimate industry.
That is exactly what the Times is
contending for. There is no difficulty
about precedents, the precedents sus-
tain US. We have, moreover, the ire
sistable argument Of the requirements
Of the hour-the doing the right thing
as existent conditions demand. Pres.
ent opportunity and requirements, not
the ghosts Of the past are the con.
trolling factors Of timely and success
full action. Buffalo Times.

for example argued with a friend who
criticised the delar in mails arising
from Filipinizing the service: Il
the Filipino people prefer to have
their letters arrive in two weeks and
do it themselves, why haven't they the
right to do it that way7" Doubtless
Mr.. Denison views with similar com
placency the increase Of n per cent
in deaths from rinderpest within six
months after the campaign to stamp
it out was vested in Filipino provin-
cial officers. Gov. Harrison has
vainly tried to stir the delinquent Of
ficials 10 do rhe work as effectively as
the Boreaus Of Science and Agricul'
ture had done under the preceding
administration.
Even il the Filipinos were united
and harmonious they lack the indus
try and the capacity to cope with
the difficulties which are encoun-
tered in the islands. But the insur-
rection showr that they are not a unit.
The Tagalog clique Of ambitious pol,
iticians has been dominating affairs.
It has filled the vacancies in respon-
sible positions made by the dismissal
OF efficient Americans. The hope Of
immediate independence which Gov,
Harrison has done so much to encour-
age by his words and acts has quicken
ed ambition. II the United States
should Withdraw the PHILIPPINES would
soon be rent with internecine feuds
beside which fhe Mexican troubles
would be insignificant. There is a
certain homogeneity in Mexico which
is lacking in the PHILIPPINES.
These facts might as well be looked
squarely in the face. II is futile to
quote platitudes about the rights OF
man. This country owns the Philip
pines, just as it does Alaska, Porto
Rico and Hawai-. It holds them by
the same kind Of title it had for Flor
ida, the Louisiana territory and ths
Mexican accessions. 1t can not shirk
its moral or legal responsibility.
Whatever it may determine as to the
final disposition OF the islands, its i'm
mediate duty, is plain. 1t must gov
ern the islands intelligently and eff,
ciently. II it accepts the Denison
view, it should withdraw at once and
let the tllpinos shit Tor themselves.
But as long as it holds the Philippines
it should meet its responsibility fully.
America has not exploited the Philip
pines or the Filipinos. Its course
has been high minded. 1t has worked
for the permanent good Of the island
and thoir inhabitants and has not
followed the wishes Of certain shrewd,
Tagalogues. We should
replace the present bunglers with
capable administrators. Globe Dem

Mr.. Redfield's Message

lnat lrrepressiole aposlie VI op'iih
ism, Sunny Bill' Red6eld secretary o
commerce, gives the country anothe
CHEEKY message 1t is one OF an in
teresting series, which began early il
his official career. The present mes
sage is reported to be bolstered BY
figures, even as its predecessors were,
But as a matter Of kindness the figures
were subordinated to his main purpose,
which was 10 drive away gloom and
inspire our people with hope Of the
future. 1t is when he reminds us
that we have escaped the distress
which prevails in Belgium and Poland
that he disarms debate. Many months
ago, when he was reproaching our
manufacturers for lack Of efficiency
and assuring our farmers that they
could produce things more cheaply
than they could be raised abroad, we
felt called upon TO question his con
clus:ons and analyze the showing Of
statistics on which he based them
But when he appeals to our people
people to remember how Galveston,
SanFransisco, Chicago Boston, Charles
ton, Baltimore and Dayton rallied
from great disasters We can but applaud,
This is a great country and it will force
ahead. 1t has out lived Democratic
administrations before and will outlive
this one.
Mr.. Redfeld attributes the distress
the country has suffered solely to the
European war He forgets the ex-
plantations he offered when there was
no cloud Of war. The brief showing
ing Of figures in his message reveals
that the country's immediate com
mercial hope is based on the war,
which has increased the demand for
our products. Does he forget the
complaint that the Manufacturers
Associatiod soi Montgomery County,

II? 1t was directly acknowledged in

was publicly answered in statement
by the president radiating optimism,
although showing some acerbity oil
temper. During the past week the
association dropped another line to
the president, suggesting that the
great prosperity he had promised
had probably been lost in the
mails. The association is captious
and impatient. The dawn is redden-
ing While not accepting Mr.. Red
fields explanation Of causes Of advers
ity which began before bis alleged
causes we're operative, we can cheer
fully indorse his advice to keep stiff
upper lip and make all the hay possible
during the spell Of sunshine the war
has brought. Already war exports
have overcome the tremendous i'm
port excess that was being piled up
regularly under the Underwood tariff.
II it continues we may become a
creditor nation, as Mr.. Redfeld pre-
diets. And the last election shows
that the country will properly take
care Of the tariff in patriotic American
ashton the first time it gets chance
at it. 1t is always safe to bet on
the future Of this country. Globe
