may be of different kinds. Thus, one

ook several important facts.
One of these is that sales and
purchases of merchandise do not
constitute all of international
trade. Payment for service is
another factor; payment of in
terest and dividends is third
factor and expenditures by tour
lists a fourth. Although we have
been an export nation, with a
balance of trade in our favor, we
have been a debtor nation be-
cause we paid foreign ship own,
ers for carrying our merchandise,
we pay huge sums every year as
interest and dividends on foreign
capital, and our people spend
millions every year touring Eu-
rope and the Orient. If we had
not built up a huge trade balance.
we would have been bankrupt
long ago. And that explains
why American business wa S
wrecked by the Democratic tariff
law. We were sending large
sums abroad for the three Lur-
poses mentioned, but balancing
it with surplus exports. The low
tariff law turned the balance of
trade against US and then it was
all outgo and no net income. We
had reached the point whert in
dustrial bankruptcy confronted
US. The war averted the full de-
structive blow that threatened
American business.

ces a deficit Of oyer 100000, 900.
The party responsible for that
deficit must either meet the stu
alton or surrender the reins Of
power.
In other words, the American
people demand that a political
party either make good or give
up.
The handwriting on the wall
was revealed recently by Repre-
sentative Joseph W. Fordney of
Michigan in discussion of the
Democratic tariff and revenue
policies before the House. He.
showed that the Democratic par
ty has failed to make good.
"The treasury balance is near
ly $1OO, 100000 less than it was
when the Republicans were in
power" said Mr.. Fordney. "The
war in Europe IS the excuse,
! but it is not the CAUSE for the
! deficit. Without that war the
Democratic party would have
been compelled to admit ere this
that their tariff law is a COM
plete failure.
Comparing nine months from
March to November, 1915, with
the corresponding nine months,
from March to November, 1918,
imports showed gain of $72,-
10000. Customs receipts show
ed loss of $76,O00,QO0. Tie
maximum loss of customs re-
ceipts that can be attributed to
the war in Europe is S., ,52O, 900
per month, and the war tax, So
called, is producing $6,8OO,OOO
per month, or about 81, 300, 900
per month more than the loss in
customs receipts.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the war tax is more than making
up for the loss in customs re-
ceipts, the balance in the general
fund declined SIS, 5,6O3,336 from
July 81, 1914, to July 81, 1915.
On July 81, 1914, the balance
was $143. 776, 800, and one year
later it was down to $68, 173, 900.
The Underwood law started
out with good balance in the
treasury. That is not an argu-
ment in favor of the Underwood
law. Credit for that balance be-
longs to the preceding Republi
can tariff law. The real cues
tion is, what balance will you
have at the end of the operation

are breaking past records in vol
ume, the balance in tfs general

Spray Keeps OFF Enemies.

Many of the tropical species of a
sluglike mollusk (onchidium), found
on the rocks between tide marks, have
the back studded with eyes, and are
at the same time provided with very
efficient spraying apparatus which is
used with effect to repel the attacks
of that very remarkable creature, the
walking fish (periophthalmus).
With bulging eyes, this creature, for
several hours daily, leaves it's native
element and hunts along the strand for
insects and "onchidiums." If the lat
ter see him coming they ward off his
attack by means of the acid spray.
