No Return to 4annaisnn.

There is a belief in Wall street that
American opinion is SO preoccupied by
the war that it has forgotten domestic
questions and is no longer interested
in progressive government. We doubt
it. We do not believe that the Amer
lean people are SO short-sighted as not
to appreciate the sinister significance
of a return to Hannaism. There is no
evidence that the rank and file of
either party has lost it's sense of polit-
ical idealism.
But if it were again possible for Wall
street to re-establish another Hanna
regime in the government Of the
United States, we can assure Big Bust
ness that when the reaction came it
would not have to deal with a Demo
cratic party and Woodrow Wilson.
It would have to face Socialism, and
Socialism would ttiumph.-New York

Let Light Into the Tariff.

It makes mo difference who urges
the tariff commission, whether Dem
ocrats, Republicans or Progressives.
The idea is right. A tariff commits
sion will not take the tariff out Of pol
itics in the United States, for the
tariff is too profitable political issue.
But at least it will furnish intelligent
information on the subject which, in
the past, congress has lacked.
The fact that tariffs were made in
the dark, that there was no source Of
information on the subject, has made
it easy for them to be used to reward
campaign contributors and in general
to promote political ends. For gen
Grafton congressman regarded tariff
bill simply as log-rClling measure.

HUSTlNG'S FIRST SPEECH
IN THE u. S. SENATE.

Senator Husting delivered his first
speech in the United:States senate last
Thursday. He spoke in opposition to
the Shields bill, measure which, II
enacted into law, would allow water
mower plunderbund to grab dam sites
throughout the country. His long,
strenuous, and, in a large measure, sue
cessful fight for a just water power
law in Wisconsin has thoroughly pre-
nared him to act a mans part IN this
the mort important economic matter
which will come before the congress.
A recent Washington dispatch says ::
A fight to preserve the undeveloped water
mower sites Of the country for the benefit or the
r,pople was started in the senate.

Enormous Earnings of the Corpora

iff Is Neither Necessary Nor
in Any Way Desirable.

Net earnings for the past quarter
of $51,232,788, or $5,729,080 larger
than for the same quarter last year;
dividends resumed on the common
stock at the former annual rate of five
per cent; a surplus Of $23, 300, 692
above all charges and dividends;
S105, 100000 cash in bank-such is the
ported for the country's greatest in
dustrial corporation from a recent
meeting of the United States Steel
corporation directors.
Some weeks ago Chairman Gary
gave out statement which conceded
great present prosperity but which
sounded high notes of alarm for the
future. The situation was inflated
American industry faced after the
war 'the most persistent and difficult
competition ever experienced and
everybody must now prepare for cal
amitous consequences then unless
adequate (tariff) protection" is mean
time provided.
The practical sense Of that view
must have been that the Steel corpora
ton itself should go slow in any divi-
dend action on the present prosperity
and Wall street SO interpreted it,
as in a belief that no dividend OR only
small one would be declared.
1t is apparent that the other direc-
tors did not share these views of dis
astrous competition from nations bled
white and industrially crippled by
war. Even Mr.. Gary himself seems to
have revised them, as he also voted
for the five per cent rate. Against
that terrible day not far ahead when
adequate protection" must be had
if the steel industry is to be saved
from ruin, neither SO great a steel ex-
pert as Mr.. Prick nor such good
judges Of general business prospects
as Mr.. Morgan and George w. Per
kins made any effort to conserve the
corporations cash resources as far
as possible.
The conclusion is evident. The gen
tlemen of the steel board are practi
cally as one in an inability to foresee
any such day.

JOSEPH Z. DAVIES ON THE
NEW FREEDOM.

Joseph II. DAVIES, CholI man W YIN
Federal Trade Commission, sent a
strong message to the Wisconsin Com
mercial ard Industrial Congress, IN
session at Madison last week, Here are
y few of his striking sentences:
o.The federal trade commission rep
resenta an attempt in an industrial era
of great complication to translate Vhe
shirt of Faneuil hall into terms OF
present day freedom.
.sThe highways OF trade must be kept
omen and fair; the rules of the road,
must be enforced with reason and tenn
perance, with firmness and exact JUS
tice."
.tThn problem reaches down to the
fundamental question of the kind ana
character Of government we shall evolve
in this great experiment of govern
ment, which challenges, indeed. the eX-
istence of democracy itself.
ono republic ever has, or ever Will
live. except as it solves correctly its re-
1atiOn and the relation of all OF its peo-
ple to the production of wealth. .
The principal function of the com
mission is thus clearly explained by Mr.
Davies:
1.-The principal function for which
fhp federal trade commission was Gre
ated was undoubtedly to protect Amer
lean business men against unfair prac-
tees in trade. The object was to de-
strov monopoly in the seed, and to pro :
tect the great majority of business units
in industry. whose chief menace comes
from practices of unfair competition
which might be employed by It not
more powerful rival. Complaints COW
erino many varieties of unfair methods
have been filed with the commission.

pendents. price discrimination, bribery
