rnE WORCESTERSHIRE BEHAVIOR
OF A CANDIDA

Why does Mr.. Hughes insist upon
talking about that old-fashioned, not
to say Ubiquitous" doctrine, the pro-
tective tariff For nearly the whole
period OF its Industrial existence, the
United States struggled along under
protection. The Democratic party In
1918 came to the relief Of an afflicted
and burdened people.
The Republican Administration mot
on account of the tariff, II Is true)
was overthrOwn. Before taking over
the reins of government, and for many
years prior to that time, countless
Democratic statesmen had vainly tried
to persuade the American people that
the protective tariff was an iniqulty,
a veritable cOntrlvance Of devils. IL
fostered the trusts, and II was an ele-
vator Of prices even to the thirty-sev-
enth story and the tower They prom
Used relief. The poor should be no
longer oppressed; the cost Of living
should be reduced-must be, as the
sure result Of tariff for revenue
protective only In spots, such as the
Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina
cotton factories.
Doesn't Mr.. Hughes know what the
Administration did which he is now
attacking? He ought to know. The
Democrats, under the leadership OF
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Underwood, re-
pealed that lniquity and abomlnation,
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law-that fos-
ter mother of trusts and high prices
and enacted In Its place the present
law. Mr.. Hughes knows, of course,
as every head of family in America
knows, that the trusts have not yet
been dissolved and that the cost Of
living is higher than ever,-that the
price of everything has reached an I'M
heard-of helght-but what OF 1T
What of It, lndeedH While II Is
true that a protective tariff never fail
ed, under any circumstances, to pro-
tect American industry and American
labor, II is to be considered that the
war In Europe has upset the plans Of
the present lOw-tariff administration
considerably. Also 1t forms an excel
lent foundation for an allbi. It is a
very unusual condition.
Now, the obvious thing for Mr..
Hughes to do is to give the Demo
Gratis chance to get their tariff on
straight. Never mind the patient; let
the doctor experiment That time
won't come, Of course, until the war
is over-accOrding to the Democratic
version. In other words the tariff
for-revenue doctrine doesn't fit the
conditions; the conditions must be
made to fit the tariff. SO why this
disturbance, Mr.. Hughes?
Besides, when you discuss little
thing like the tariff, do you not know
that Son-in-Law McAdOO and the other
statesmen of the Democratic family
are likely to repeat their accusation
that you are "pettifogging" Charles
ton, w. Va, Mail.

creased imports. On the contrary. AS
compared with the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1912, (when the Payne tariff
bill was in effect the imports for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, show
an increase of $544,62O 600; but the
tariff revenue collected thereon shows
a decrease, as compared with that col
lected in 1912, of 500, 1871 900. Obvious
ly, with tariff bill which falls so far
short of even the Democratic ideal, "a
tariff for revenue only the most rigid
economy should have marked the APP
preparations of Congress, and equally
obviously. the grossest extravaganza
has marked those appropriations; but
if the Payne duties were still in force,
with an increase of over five hundred
millions in imports the entire pre-
paredness program could have been
cared for without the imposition of a
penny of special taxes.

The Federal Reserve Act-lt is gen.
orally remarked that all the credit
which this administration might have
derived from the enactment of the
Federal Reserve Act has been Destroy
ed by the appointment of John SHELTON
Williams, who has made the most
thoroughly unfit Comptroller of the
Currency in the history Of the National
Bank Act. A striking commentary on
Williams is found in letter address,
ed to him by J. ]. Farley, president OF
the Bank of Valley City. n d. Mr..
Farley says, in part: "The Bank Of
which | am president is one of the few
state banks in North Dakota with suf-
ficient capital to be eligible under the
| law for admission into the Federal
Reserve system. In banking capitol,
less investment in real estate, ii is in
third place among the more than $50
banks now operating under our state
law. The officers and directors of the
Federal Reserve bank of the 9th dis
trict have repeatedly invited and
urged us to join and have frequently
asked our objections to joining. We
are fully conscious of the great bene-
fits to trade, industry and investment,
as well as the business of banking
specifically, that are possible as re-
suit OF the federal reserve system, If
administered wisely and kept free Of
personal and political influence, and
we would gladly pay our pro rata
share of the expense Of maintaining
the system, which is now being borne
by the national banks exclusively. We
are conscious. too, as all must be, In
GLIDING yourself, that the reserve bank
system will not reach its full mea-
sure of usefulness while more than
three fourths the country banks re-
main outside, and we look with mis-
givings, as you must, on the numerous
conversions of national banks into
state banks now taking place through
out the country, which must result in
further weakening of the federal re-
serve system. There must be good
and sufficient reasons for these num-
erous conversions that are taking
place, and there must also be reasons
why eligible state banks. except in a
few isolated cases, are not Joining.
The writer of this letter is a Demo-
clat. his predecessor in the Office of
president was Democrat, and four
OF our nine directors are Democrats
which is a larger proportion than is
usual in this overwhelmingly Repub-
lican state. We give full credit TO the
present Democratic administration for
placing the Federal Reserve law on
the statute books, and for the honest
and patriotic intention of President
Wilson to make the system a success
But we have no present intention OF
joining the federal reserve system, nor
of converting into a national bank,
and our principal reason for decidine

TO operate as a state bank Is John

authority We are now happily and

Why Special Taxes Are Necessary
An increase OF FIVE hundred million
OF imports and decrease of one hun
bred millions of customs revenue Is
the reason why this administration Is
compelled to impose numerous spe-
clal taxes designed to raise $2O5, OOO,-
900. besides selling bonds for $780,
100000 and mourning indebtedness
which undoubtedly will necessitate far
greater bond sales. In a word, the
Underwood tariff bill is a complete
failure as revenue producer. Many
inquiries as to the necessity for these
special taxes, whether they are solely
the result OF Democratic extravaganza
or whether they are caused by the
preparedness program. have reached
your correspondent. The simple, fun
damental fact is as stated While
Democratic extravaganza has doubt
less played an important part, and
while the preparedness program may
be held TO account for a part OF the
need. the tarift statistics issued by the
Treasury Department really tell the
story Contrary TO a popular impress

Who Cares For The COsti-After re-
jecting for several years the recon-
mendations of the Navy General
Board, and after holding up for year
and half the awarding of contracts
for ships actually ordered by Con-
gress, Secretary Daniels has now de-
termined to make a spectacular start
in naval construction on the eve OF
the national election and to that end
has ordered that on October 20, bids
shall be opened for the construction OF
four battleships, four scout cruisers
and twenty torpedo boat destroyers.
There is no navy yard available to
build any of these ships and the pri-
vate shipyards of the country are
crowded to the limit, so that there Is
every prospect that the government
will have to pay extremely high prices.
The extreme prices which il will be
necessary to pay now, it is pointed
out by naval officers, could easily have
been avoided had the administration
needed the recommendations of the
General Board and provided a regular
and systematic increase of the navy.
But it took SO long for President Will
son to read the handwriting on the
wall and become a convert to pre-
paredness, that once more the coun-
try will have to pay, and pay heavily,
the cost of Democratic inefficiency and
shortsightedness. However, the pea
nut policy which characterized the
first three years of this administration
has given place to one of the widest
extravaganza and, as one naval officer
remarks, "Who cares for $4,000, 900
more or less, now?" 1t is further de-
clared that the prospect Of final en-
actment of the worse than useless
Shipping Bill, with its $5O,0OO,OOO of
government funds to be expended for
ships, is also having its effect in stiff
fleming the prices asked by private con-
structors for naval vessels.
