THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE

Some days ago Senator Chiffon, In
a statement made to a correspondent.
ridiculed the idea OF the tariff being
made an issue In the e national
campaign. OF course there are a lot
Of things that Senator Chiffon does
not know. but when he attempts to
speak for the Democratic party he
ought to come nearer the truth than
he has done In his interview In which
be Il quoted rs saying: Republican
assertion that the tariff is responsible
for recent depression does not prove
anything or fool anybody. There are
no cheap European goods coming into
the United States now In conflict with
highly paid American labor. On the
contrary. American manufacturers
practically have the markets OF the
world as well as the home market be-
fore them. So Republican effort to
make the tariff an issue will probably
amount TO nothing"
goods coming into this country" did
Senator Chiffon stop to discover the
reason why? II they are not here now
Il is because the war is interfering !
with their shipment to the United
States. and in that way acting in the
nature OF a protective tariff. But IL
the West Virginia Senator had con-
suited the oficial statements coming |
from the Department OF Commerce.
he would have found that goods are
coming in. as our imports for last
month totaled 1925. 900 600. which is
only about 10 per cent. less than our
imports for the corresponding month
OF last year. Moreover. a statement
of totals gives no information in re.
spect TO the effect produced on GER
lain lines of industry by the reduction
OF duties. This reduction comes large
ly from restrictions imposed upon the
importation OF articles that we can
not produce here. and of which our
supply has been stinted by the inter
ference with exports from Germany.
II does not arise from a cessation OF
that competition from industries of
Great Britain. which is such a formid-
able factor in certain lines OF manu-
features. Surely our manufacturers
are very far from having a monopoly
Of the domestic market as a result OF
the war. Neither Senator Chiffon nor
any other Democrat Is sincere in any

The pledge OF the last Dcmo-
cratic platform that ~the Law per-
tanning 20 the civil service
should be honestly and rigidly en-
forced has been openly nouted
by Postmaster General Burieson.
Numerous violations Of the sta
tute-although called TO the
Presidents personal zttention-
have been suffered to continue
without rebuke. and are still 60
ing on today.
The chief evil against which
the civil service law was direct
ed was the abuse OF patronage by
congressman II was mainly BY
our senator's and Representatives
that the spells OF Office were dis
trtbuted to the detriment OF The
public service. The Law provided
that administrative places should
be nlled as the result OF open
competitive examinations and
that the choice should be made
from the three who stood highest
on each list rs the result of such
examinations. Lest rel among
these three there might still be
opportunity for congressman to
Interfere. section 10 of the civil
service law was added. in these
words:
mo Recommendation OF any
person who shall apply for Office
or place under the provisions OF
this act. which may be given by
any senator or member OF the
house Of Representatives, except
as the character or residence OF
the applicant. shall be received or
considered by any person con-
cerned In making any examfna-
ton or appointment under this
act"
Now fourth class postmaster
ships had been embraced In the
CLASSIFIED service when the pres
ent administration came into
power. There are tens OF thou
sands OF these officials In the
government. and their positions
r politically OF immense i'm
portance. Yet In violation of the
express provisions OF the law
Postmaster General Burleson has
declared that he would consider
congressional recommendations.
and he even caused such a state
ment to be posted In all the
class postoffices in which exam
nations were TO be held; nor did
he limit this to the mere ques-
lions OF residence or character. as
the law required.
IN the number OF applicants for
these places had been
as In most other classified posi-
lions. the consequence OF this yio-
lation OF the law might not have
been so serious. Where there are
30 or 100 names upon an eligible
list, and the appointing officer
must make his selection from the
three highest. the congressman
cannot always get the man he
wants. but In these small places
there are very seldom more than
