lam told that ex-President Huerta
OF Mexico has recently made more
money in our American stock market
than his hated foe. Gen. villa, ever
saw In his long career of loot. Huer-
ia seems to be uncommonly practi-
cal.
He came to this country but a
short time ago. opened an Office and
began to consort with Wall street
bulls and bears as If they hadn't
horns and claws. Afraid? Not he.
Mr.. Huerta began market opera
tons, based on his apparently sound
knowledge of conditions in Europe.
Anyhow. he bought stocks by the
bale, and he has actually cleared
profits amounting to hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Only one class of persons has made
money in the stock market this year.
They are those who believed the fol-
lowings:
/. The war will be long.
2. The allies cannot produce suf-
foient munitions and food for their
own use and must buy from Ameri-
ca.
3. That tremendous rise would
occur in all the Industrial plants that
received these immense orders for
war material.
That's what Huerta believed. with
the result that he has enough money
to buy and sell two or three revolu-
lions in Mexico.

why BANKS Are
FULL OF MONEY
Because Industrial Producers Do
Not Borrow for Improve
mentS.

Bankers in touch with the COM
mercial situation say that were it
not for the war we would be in the
throes of business depression on ac-
count of the low Tariff act. Except
to increase the output of war sup
plies, manufacturers who are not ad-
ding to their plants are erecting new
mills. The specter of non-Protec-
ton still hangs over their works.
One thing which would encourage
business men everywhere would be
the calling of Congress in special ses-
sion for the enactment of new
Tarix law which will give to the Gov
eminent the revenue that is sorely
needed, and at the same time es-
tablish Protection which would be in
force when the war is ended. The
exigenicies of the Government re-
quire this and business generally
needs this particular encouragement.
An exigency exists which calls upon
the President and leaders of his po-
litical party to cast theories aside.
Party pride should give way to pa
triotic motives.
The doors must be opened in order
that wholesome and beneficial use
may be made of the funds which are
piling up in the banks. A Tariff law
which will afford Protection to Amer
lean industries and provide an ade-
quate revenue to the Government is
the one thing that is sorely needed
at this time to start every branch of
industry on the road to the greatest
prosperity that this nation has ever
witnessed. 1t is no answer to say
that our imports are now low and
that Protection is not needed because
foreign manufacturers are not in a
position to cope with the American
mills. What the American manufac-
turer wants is an assurance for the
future. The moral effect of about
ing the policy of Protection would
give to the American capitalist the
solid rock which he now needs as
foundation upon which to build plans
for the future.
Surplus funds are waiting to be
used in legitimate enterprises, and
great harm may come if worthy, pro-
jects are held in check through lack
of confidence. Wild schemes. pro-
mulgated by irresponsible promoters,
will be fostered unless the Govern
ment encourages honest endeavor.

He Is In No Hurry For The War To
End.

! James f. MacMurray, president OF
the Acme Steel Goods Co.. is sue
cessful manufacturer of fat wire at
1884 Archer avenue. Chicago.
II the war hadn't started he would
have been put out of business by the
Underwood Tariff.
Germany would have undersold
him by IS less a ton than it costs to
manufacture the wire in this coun-
try. Cheap labor in the fatherland
and the low Underwood Tariff would
have done the trick.
Naturally Mr.. MacMurray isn't in
a hurry for the war to end. II it
does the Tariff will have to be revis-
ed pretty quickly or he'll have to
close his plant and throw several
hundred men out of work.
Flat wire is used in the manufac-
ture of hundreds of hardware spec
ialties. 1t is rolled by special ma
chinery from round wire. 1t costs
20 huhuiCu Pouhuo W ihohc IT, i"O
dollars of that is for labor, the rest
for material.
Formerly there was a duty Of from
35 to 40 per cent. on fiat wire, just
enough to Protect the industry and
enable the American manufacturer
to compete with those abroad.
The Underwood Tariff reduced
this duty to 10 per cent. What hap
pened? Germany. the most efficient
manufacturing country in the world.
and with the cheapest labor-indus-
trially speaking-contracted to de-
liver thousands of tons at New York
for IS a ton less than 1t costs to man
ufacture the product in this coun-
try.
Mr.. MacMurry manufactures 81
900 tons of the product year. II
he had continued to operate his
plant in competition with Germany
he would have lost just $4,000 a
year. 1t would have been cheaper
for him to close his plant and go to
California.
TITS matter OF cheaper labor.
isn't it. Mr.. MacMurray?" the manu-
facturer was asked.
"Of course it is labor" he answ-

LONDON. April 1.-The French
steamer Emma was sunk in the Eng,
lish channel OFF Scarborough by a
German submarine. The Emma was
q passenger steamer of large tonnage
and had something like $50 people on

coast who were notified by wireless
of the Emma's plight
The blow which sent the ship to
the bottom of the channel came ear

were on deck and the sea was as
placid as mill pond when suddenly
detonation was heard and the YES
sci seemed to lift entirely out of the
waters. She began to list on the port
