Protective Effective OF The War

The extent to which the British
blockade is performing for us the
function of tariff proxy is well
exemplified in the importation Of
hosiery and knit goods. Ordina-
rlly our greatest competitor for
the domestic market in these goods
is Germany. The Germans were
having a high old time in our
market just before the war broke
out, and our importatiOns of
hosiery and knit goods nearly
doubled during the first nine
months Of 1914, compared with
the same period in 1913. But
during the nine months ended
September last our IMPORTS of
these articles dropped to the in.
significant amount of $6S2, 900
from $4, 600, 600 during the 1914
period, $454 900 worth getting In
from Germany. A recent report
from the United States Consul at
Chemnitz, where the bnlk of these
goods are made up Informs us that
the German cotton knit goods
industries are rot harmed iu the
least. They will be running at a
J capacity of 100 per cent plus when
I tne var is over and II we do not
return to protection the Amt rican
knit goods industries will receive
q jolt from which it will take years
to recover.

The result Of the election turned
upon so slender margin that any
one Of number of causes may be
assigned for it. The President
evidently thinks that John M.
Parker, candidate for vice.presi.

ticket, had something to do with
1t. At any rate, Mr.. Wilson has
written to Mr.. Parker to tell Of
