1T WAS A FAILURE.
Attempt to Make the Tariff a Prom
inent and Effective Campaign
Issue Came to Naught.
(New York TimeS.)

The attempt of the republican
leaders to make the tariff a promin-
ent and effective campaign issue came
to nothing. There is evidence in
the result of the election that their
arguments and assertions had weight
against the absolute proof that what
they were saying about the effect of
the Underwood tariff law during the
ten months Immediately preceding
the war was untrue, and the sound
Judgment of thinking men that their
predictions of a devastating flood"
of imported European goods imme-
diately after the war were absurd.
This resort to the tariff TO help was
especially noticeable in the closing
weeks of the campaign, although the
same arguments had been used from
\ the beginning. They may be found
in Mr.. Hughes letter of acceptance, in
K the remar'<s~of LMr.3: Fairbanks about
/ immense quantities Of commo ODDITIES
T manufactuEed5a and stored in the bel
+ ligerent countries, "awaiting shipment
I to the United States when the seas
are cleared" and in other early cam
| paign utterances.
| Those who read the assertion that
IN the first ten months of.sthe Under
! wood law an enormous increase" of
imported manufactured goods closed
factories here and deprived workmen
| Of employment could ascertain from
the official reports that imports Of
| such goods were actually less in those
| ten months than in the corresponding
months or the preceding year, under
the republican tariff law. Thus a
part OF the argument was wrecked.
Mr.. Hughes predicted that at the end
| 1ba
would leap from the trenches to the
factories, there to produce with
vastly increased efficiency" not only
all the goods needed at home but
| also a great surplus which would be
| "dumped' in our market unless it
| should be barred out by a new high
protective tariff. Many others on
| his side professed to foresee this i'm
| pending "f1ood.' But Intelligent and
thoughtful voters, knowing what the
effect of the war has been, found this
forecast an absurd one. And they
were confirmed in their opinion by
/ much current testimony. There has
been plenty of evidence that the
| "stores" of goods do not exist, that
stocks are exhausted, and that after
the war the belligerent nations must
import great quantities of raw mater
1al-muCn OF IL from ILLS cOo1Iiy-
before they can make goods enough to
satisfy the needs of their own peo-
pie And so the second part of the
tariff argument was demolished.
Those who expected no flood of i'm
ports after the war could see thai
there would be safeguards, If one
should appear, in the powers of the
new tariff commission and the fedora.
trade com mission and in the prOvi-
sions of the new law to prevent
"dumping". The tariff movement on
the republican side in the campaign
was a pitiable failure. 1t was char
acterized by gross misrepresentation
of recorded facts and by predictions
which well-informed men could not

A Practical Christmas Gift.

The December Woman's Home
Companion has an interesting Christ
mas anecdote. The writer says;
"Last year, just before Christmas,
one of my sisters said to me. I want
to give mother some silk for a waist
this year, but I don't know whether
she would rather have black or 1aven-
der, and it spOils all the fun, asking.
T know it, I replied. I had decided
on a school umbrella for Mary. and
I don't know whether the child pre-
fers a straight handle or one with O.
crook
"As you see, we were a family who
gave one another practical presents.
She and I talked it over and we hit
upon the cleverest plan. Instead Of
having our gifts before breakfast in
the library as usual on Christmas
morning, we had a little tree about
two feet high on the table, hung and
piled about with tiny packages.
Mothers waist was cut from a fashion
magazine and. with three one-dollar
bills, wrapped in a small jewelry box,
Mary's umbrella was made from a
toothpick and dollar bill. Father
gave me tiny dolls muff in a pill
box with a ten-dollar bill inside, and
he gave mother a bright-colored rug
cut from a magazine, just the size
Of ten-do1far bill. which was past
ed lightly to the back. The. whole
thing was rolled on a stick. 1t was
great fun, and when the holiday rI/
was over we did our Christmas shop
ping. and none of the surprise had
been taken away by asking everyone
what she would rather have"

WHERE THE RUB COMES.

Two weeks after the presidential
elections politics have happily taken
| seat in the back row and the nation
moves merri1y along. The campaign
talk which had much ado with soup
houses and bread lines is now almost
completely forgotten, and the real
facts In the case are coming to the
surface. Last night, by way Of con-
tradictdon to some Of the wild state
ments made in the campaign, the
United States Steel corporation an
uounced a ten per cent. increase in
the wages Of those employees who
work m it, iron and steel factories
About 100000 employees are made
beneficiaries of the increase which
augments the amount of the COM
pany's payroll by the enormous
sum Of s1S,ooo,o0o. Thus is labor
getting its full measure.
IT, The news Of yesterday was filed
with joy for workingmen. Desnatch-
eS from various parts Of the country
TOLD OF great concerns increasing their
employees wages, and this without
The asking Of a single workingma,n.
All employees of the Eastman Kodak
company earning $50 week or less
were given an increase in WAGES. ac-
cording to report from the COM
pany's headquarters at Rochester.
N. Y. More than 10000 operatives
in the great cotton mills at New
Bedford, Mass, were given a ten per
cent. raise in wages, their third in
crease this year. In fact, the men in
cotton mills all over the country are
faring we'll at the hands of their en-
ployers. From Augusta, Ca, comes

. cotton mills have been given a ten
per cent. increase in wages, making

lion dorlar mark. e.. :. s. @,s.l. ], s:.s
Thus. may SO seen the difference
between the spirit of pessimism' that
was set loose before the election and
the optimism that is taking hold after
the affair lis over. So long as this
present wave Of prosperity lasts the
workingmen will reap their harvest
The employers are also enjoying huge
profits, and these two form the upper
| and lower mill-stones Of society be-
tween which are being ground the
men who work on a steady salary
basis The high cost of living strikes

necessaries Of life. That is where the
rub comes.

ACE0RWARTHEISSUE

Speaking at Battle Creek, Mich, Sep
TENDER 80, last, Theodore Roosevelt
said:
81 have been asked what I would
have done had ! been President when
the Lusitania was torpedoed.
81 would have instantly taken pos
session Of every German ship informed
in this country and then ! would have
said: Nov we'll discuss, not what
we will give, but what we will give
back.'"J
THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT
WAR!
the German nation to a trial at arms.
1t would have been a violation of ev-
cry principle of neutrality, and at a
time, with all Europe under arms,
when this country was the trustee of
and the only nation capable of uphold
ing neutral rights.
The seizure itself would have been
an act of war, just as the seizure of
German interned ships by Portugal
was regarded as an act of war and
was followed by an immediate dec
laration Of war by Germany against
Portugal.
Following the same line of war talk,
speaking at Lewiston, Maine, August
81, last, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
1.-The policies of ~Americanism and
preparedness, taken together, mean ap-
piled patriotism. There should be cor
relation of policy and armament.
America, which sprang to the
succOr of Cuba in 1898, has stood an
idle spectator of the invasion Of Bel
GUM, the sinking of the Lusitania, the
continued slaughter of our own citi-
ems and of the reign of anarchy, ra-
pine and murder in Mexico"
These are the deliberate declara-
lions of the men with whom Candi-
date Hughes has said, Il AM IN COM
PLETE ACCORD" and Hughes has
publicly congratulated Roosevelt for
what he said.
From their public statements the
conclusion is inevitable that if either
Roosevelt or Hughes had been Presi-
dent when the Army of the Kaiser in
vaded Belgium we would have had wal
with Germany; h "a when the Lusi-
tania was sunk that we would have
had war with Germany. and that now
we would have instant war with Ger
many Ove the submarine raids in the
Atlantic ocean off the Massachusetts
coast.
Must we not agree with President
Wilson when speaking at Shadow
Lawn on September 80, last, he said:
Am | not right that we must draw
the conclusion that if the Republican
party is put into power at the mex
election. our foreign policy will be ra-
Ideally changed?
Il cannOt draw any other Inference.
All our present foreign policy is wrong,
they say, and if it is wrong and they
are men of conscience they must
change it.
And if they are going to change it.
in what direction are they going to
change? THERE is ONLY ONE
CHOICE AS AGAINST PEACE, AND
THAT is WAR"
No other conclusion can be drawn.
