CRIrICIsM OF BOULEYARp oBsrRuCrIONIsrs

VKyE congratulate the Dover State News, one Of the
w best-eded of Delaware weekly exchanges
upon the following editorial bearing upon the DUPONT
Boulevard:
News dispatches from Maryland inform us that before
the end OF the Summer the State roads system laid
out by the first Roads Commission appointed by former
Governor Crothers will have been completed and opened
10 the public This system comprises approximately
1000 miles Of fine roads. and includes main highway
from Ocean City. the Atlantic beach, to the town Of
Oakland the county seat of Garrett county $500 feet

Gently informed the Federal Trade
Commission that he felt that the
United States was throwing away its
substance because Of its failure to
permit pooling agreements among
American manufacturers to capture
the foreign trade. While Mr. Ryan
is the representative of the Foreign
Trade Council and was chiefly desir-
Gus OF impressing upon the Trade
Commission the fact that the Sherman
law should be amended, he made an
unanswerable argument, consciously
or unconsciously, in favor OF a pro-
tective tariff.
Mr.. Ryan said that this country,
which is a great storehcuse of the
natural resources of the world, had
practically thrown away its substance
robbed its mines, its forests. its soil,
and sold its natural resources in com
petition with itself, enc forest tract
with another, one mine with another,
and one farm with another, in the
severest and bitterest kind of compe-
tition everyv here in the world
Rave Not Competed With Germany.
He pointed out that this country
produces 20 per cent of the copper
az the world, anr that we export so
per cent. of what we produce. OF that
60 per cent, practically half. until
the war broke out went to Germany,
the greatest competitor Of this coun-
try as manufacturer Of metals. Ger.
many re-exportod about half Of the
copper received from US. in manufac-
tured form, and sold it TO the rest
Of the world because our maaufac-
turers have given no competition.
Mr. Ryan pointed out that manu-
featured copper exported from this
country is negligible in quantity:

ness of the country. But under exist
ing laws these FIVE or six concerns
are driven to such competition the

been that In ten years ending with
1908, three concerns, from whom
have the figures, representing about
half the copper production Of this
country, sold 5,S60,0O0 600 pounds Of
copper representing 1921 100000 in

there is nothing that would enable
the producer to get a better price in
this country but one, and that is that
during practically all that time the
business has been done in foreign

who made combinations, withheld
their business when there was any
Overproduction, o. when there was
any chance Of making or breaking

who kept the actual consumers out

Then they bought all that they
could buy Of US, and when they got
through buying the domestic con-
srmer. who never was allowed to
combine with others, and who had to
cover his demands, followed them
along and as a result paid seven
eighths of a cent pound more, which
is the cost of manufacturing il into

products In other words, the German

the same price as the American con-
sumer had bought It raw and was

There Should BE a Tarifi on Copper.
While Mr.. Ryan was addressing
himself to an entirely definite prob
lem he revealed the real reason for
Germany's commercial supremacy
and for her ability to sell manufac-
tured metals to the country that pro-
duces 20 per cent of the copper Of
the world, when he said that there
was no tariff on copper anil that
there had been none for seventeen
years. There arc those who have al
ways argued that raw materials
should be free of duty. The Ameri-

ways insisted that protection should
cover all American products Mr..

purposes Of foreign governments and
TO advance the interests Of foreign

TREASURY DEFICIT is OVER S64,OOO,OOO
Conclusive Demonstration of the Failure of The FreeTrsde Tariff
Revenue Producer

WASHINGTON. July 21.-Tressury
Department officials ana free-trade
members of Congress nave been
strangely silent with reference 10 the
deficit Of more Than S64,OOO0OO in the
treasury, as reported on July 1. 1915.
the end of the fiscal year A great
ado was made lb1ut the net balance
in the general fund, amounting to
SS2,625716 but these figures mean
nothing
The important fact is that the re-
ceipts for the fiscal year amounted to
$3.50, ,596.730. while the disbursements
amounted to S76O.714,613 the excess
OF disbursements over receipts being
$64.165416. No longer can there be
any doubt as 10 what caused the def
cit Customs collections for 1914
amounted to $299, ,12S,527, while the
customs collesdons for 1915 dropped
10 5000, 0,26Sl07, the loss being in
round numbers, about 10000 600.
But" the Democratic leaders say.
look what the European war has
done to the imports. Look how ship
pins has been held UP and how the
imports have fallen of.
II anyone wishes 10 get at the truth
II would be a wise thing to make the
inspection suggested While no in
vestgation Is required 10 draw a
normal conclusion from the fact thar
the ships which are laden with mu-
nitions of war for Europe naturally
return 10 this country with exports
from Europe. even better evidence
may be obtained to show how the
American market is still being delug-
ed with cheap labor impOrtations.
Imports Have Increased.
All that Is necessary Is to take the
imports for May, 1915. These total
Sl42 2S4.S51, as against S133,723 713 III
May, 1913. when the protective tar
IN was still in operation. Thus. S.
0000 more of imports arrived un-
der war conditions in May 1915. than
in May. 1918, under normal conditions
At this monthly rate nearly S10G, ,000,-
600 more imports would arrive in one
year under the free-trade tariff
even with the war halting imports,
than under the protective tariff But
the conclusive fact is that, according
TO the Department OF Commerce, so
per cent. of all imports received in
May, 1915, entered free of duty This
shows where the revenue has gone It
shows definitely and conclusively that
the losses in revenue have not been
due TO a falling of in imports. but
to the removal OF duties
There was $50 900, 600 loss in reve-
nue. from customs, although more i'm
ports have been coming in through
out the war period with the excep-
tion of the first month or so after the
war began. Thus II would seem that
the entire dehcit is due to the tariff
and that even from the Democratic
standpoint the tariff law as a revenue
producer has failed disastrously.

INFANT MORTALITY.

THE fact that there has been big falling off infant
mortality in this city this year is gratifying to
everyone. That the for July. that month
has progressed. is exceptionally low particularly
pleasing. because July and August are. a rule the
hardest months on babies
No doubt several causes have contributed 10 make
The rate low this One that the temperatures
that have prevailed since Summer opened have ranged
unusually low Another that the milk supply Of our
city never purer than has been thus far this year
The fact that the nationwide campaign of education
relative TO the care of babies has found acceptance in
hundreds of homes in city has contributed TO
keep the rate low particularly as regards children
one year old and under.
may be said however. that the rate would be much
lower all mothers of small babies would cooperate
heartily with health officials others who are inter
ested in the conservation of child life.
