AS an instance of the indirect effect
of the European war on the prosperity
of our industries, that of the canned
goods industry may be cited. The war
has boosted the price Of sugar from
212 to cents a pound higher than
normally. Canned goods dealers de-
pend on this fact to seriously curtail
the amount Of fruit put up by the
housewives Of the country who Will
conclude that it is the part Of econ
omy to buy the commercial product
rather than go to the trouble and add
ed expense of canning at home. The
direct effect Of the war on this indus
try is shown by the fact that our ex-
ports of canned fruits increased about
500 per cent, comparing the seven
months. August 1915 to February 1915
with the seven months just previous to
the outbreak Of the war. This is
another sample Of Democratic pros
perity.

Destroying the Civil Service.

The last great Democrat to grace
the White House, Grover Cleveland,
thought "a public Office is a public
trust" In 1903, Senator Bayard, a
distinguished Democrat Of Delaware,
describing the conditions which made
necessary the development of the civil
service, said:
NO man obtained an Office except he
was a violent partisan, and the office was
given to him a reward Tor party ser
ices; and so things went on untii the OF
fees generally were filled under that sys.
tem,-a system which is absolutely fatal
TO the integrity of Republican institutions,
! care not what party or under what
name it may be organized and carried
on"
But the Democrats craftsmanship
to use a questionable term-of later
years. is OF distinctly different brand.
Not only do Democrats raid the merit
sysctm with an effrontery never
equalled before, but in 1916, they bold
" step forth and boast about it.
Congressman Thomas of Kentucky,
q Democrat who has served in the last
four Congresses, states with not 4
word of censure from his Democratic
colleagues:
Il am utterly opposed to this So
called civil service or merit system.
except perhaps in the departments in
Washington City. l believe that
congressman knows more about his
district than any civil service COM
mission that ever existed. I believe q
congressman is better qualified to
rame he postmaster and rural route
carrier in his district than anybody
else. So am against the whole bust
ress. Call me a spokesman if you
wish, but am one of those Democrats
Who believe that to the victor belongs
the spoils,' and l believe there is a
competent Democrat in this country to
fill every office in It,"
Immediately after this unworthy
denunciation Of the civil service by
Congressman Thomas, the Democrats
rose in their might and defeated pro-
posal to place employees under the pro-
posed shipping law in the merit sys-
tenn.
Woodrow Wilson by his unprece
denied number Of executive orders, has
set the pace in the Democratic assault
on the merit system; but President
Wilson. while committing the fault,
Yet defends the principle, Mr.. Thomas,
who has not had as wide an expert
ence in diplomatic usage speaks out
bluntly. and expresses the real atti
tude of Democracy. Surely times have
changed and Democrats have degen-
Grated since the days of Cleveland ard
Bayard.
