FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY.

Are we to have national campaign without
the usual accompaniment of slack business?
Up to the present there has been no sign of this
affliction which preyed on economic activities
more or less during the summers of 1896
1900, 1904 1908 and 1912, at the times when
Uncle Sam was busy hiring his help.
If business activity goes right on, ignoring
the campaign seasons time -honored preroga-
tive to tumble everything into disarray, the
reason is that America experiences one of the
unexpected and unasked advantages brought
here by the stress and misery abroad. The war
has set our domestic industry going under
forced draught So great an impetus has been
communicated that work goes on as usual, lg-
norine politics. While the war has operated dl-
rectly to create an eager demand for American
products among the belligerents and their COM
mercial dependents it has m an indirect way
increased economic security by putting brake
on the administration s anti-capitallstlc eff
forts of 1913 and 1914. The federal trade com
mission has quiesced, the dissolution suits
against corporations have slackened, the ship
purchase measure has been delayed. A whole
group of kindred activities have been held IN
allegiance and the damages from the low tariff
have been checked by the interruption of the
natural course of the import trade.
The danger in all this comes from the false
sense of security which the moments benefits

said, Il want you to come into my
office and be with me-" The young
man replied, But what do you want
me to do?" Never mind that said
the president; you will learn about
that soon, just want you to be Ia
here with me-" THAT was the most
memorable moment Of my life," said

that they get something from being

FARM PRODUCTS.
What the Republican Tariff Policy
Means to the Missouri
AgricuIturist.

Under the PayneAldrich protective
tariff, a tariff OF rs cents a bushel was
maintained on wheat, while under the
Underwood free trade bill wheat is on
the free list. The farmer is interested
to know how this affected his market,
and it can best be seen by comparing
the imports under the two bills when
conditions were normal and before the
European var commenced.
In July Of 1918, under protection,
4,618 bushels of wheat were imported,
while in July, 1914, under free trade,
$3.50 bushels of wheat were import
ed. In the first seven months of 1918,
under protection, 270,9S7 bushels of
wheat were imported, while for the
first seven months of 1914, under free
trade, 1,526,962 bushels of wheat were
imported. This shows how the I'm
derwood bill affected the product of
the farmer just before the war, when
1t was meeting the conditions for
which 1t was framed. These increased
imports r especially significant
when 1t is remembered that In the
year 1914 the largest wheat crop then
known was harvested in this country.
If the farmer wants the tariff re-
moved from his product and permit
all nations to dump their products into
this country free. let him vote to re-
turn Jim Reed to the United States
Senate. But if he wants a protective
tariff on his products and on the prod
uct of the factory and thereby keep
labor employed let him send Walter s..
Dickey to the United States Senate
and a Republican Congressman from
his district.
