While many other matters of supreme interest
to Americans are being discussed in the present
campaign none are more vital to the future Of
the country than is the tariff question. Presi-
dent Wilson and his supporters defend the Under
wood bill and in the same breath point to their
tariff commission as means whereby the tariff
is to be made over again to fit. The Underwood
tariff is non-protective measure and was DELHI
eratively designed as such. 1t has completely
failed, for it affords neither revenue nor protec
ton, while the total of imports under it has
enormously increased. The tariff commission
idea is not Wilson's, for the republicans had al
ready established tariff commission, and the
democrats wiped it out and wiped out tariff sched-
ules enacted as a result OF extensive investiga-
ton by the commission. Nor will the tariff be
taken out of party politics until the democratic
party abandons its traditional attitude the
question. The man who declares no difference
exists between the republican and democratic
parties on the tariff doesn't know what he is
talking about. The republican party is pledged
to the principle OF protection, the democrats are
pledged against it, Mr. Wilson is free trader
Mr. Hughes is protectionist; there is no ap-
proach between the parties on this question:
which is just as important now as it was in 1885,
when Mr.. Mckinley led the fight to correct con-
ditions that came out of the adoption of demo-
cratic free trade tariff law and to restore indus
trial and commercial activity under protection

The Golden Flood.

Financikrs evince less confidence now than
in former years concerning the sustaining
power Of huge gold reserve. Opinions grounded
on past experience are undergoing modification
or change under the extraordinary effects Of the
old world war. The inflow Of gold to this country,
at first hailed as an augury of safety, now is
viewed with misgivings, if not actual alarm. Ac-
cording to government returns the importations
so far this year total $30O000,000. The total for
1915 was $420000000. Twenty years ago, when
the sacred ratio Of l6 to chased all the gold in
the country out Of sight the per capita Of gold
was only So. Today the per capita is $24 and
rising In many quarters the great abundance Of
the yellow metal is considered the moving
cause Of increasing speculation and the marked
tendency toward imitation and high prices. Sim
liar offenses have been attributed to gold before
yet II invariably confounds its accusers and main
tains its reputation as good thing Big profits
and vast business are the mansprings Of specula-
ton in war brides, railroad and industrial stocks
Shortage in the worlds supply OF wheat &C
counts for bounding prices of the cereal, and
other cereals follow the leader War is the re-
sponsble cause of excess demands on the pro-
ductive resources of the country. The excess of
gold is result, not the cause, of the industrial
and commercial forces driven to capacity by
war

Don't Be Too Sure

American manufacturers who are looking
forward to extending their trade after the war
and meeting foreign competition should not be
too cocksure that, as an export expert pictures
il, we shall be dealing with Europe of broken
down and inefficient men and factories with
machinery twenty years behind the times" We
have often exaggerated our dependence up
to-the-mnute machinery before and come out
the small end of the horn on foreign competi-
ton, and there is little in the known facts to
suggest that any nation in Europe will be so far
behind in mechanical appliances that it will be
helpless before our triumphant and unopposed
trade development. The drift was not moving
that way before the war, and any advantage we
may get after the war we shall have to fight for
For instance, the originality and ingenuity of
American agricultural machinery has been one
of our pet boasts for several generations, and
yet with their supposedly poorer plows and their
indifference to the highly complex modern
American farm machinery the fact is that En-
rope beat us in the returns per acre in grains
and other crops, and did it all by manual methods
that we were supposed to have outlawed forever.
The French, too with their machinery and their
high-class development of new motors that have
made the auto and the aeroplane possible; and
the Germans, in their wonderful industrial plants,
and even the British, alleged to be slower than
their continental cousins, have not been too slow
to reach out for the new while working success
fully along familiar and even conservative lines
that gave them monopoly of certain products
the world over.
While the war has done much to impair this
material and human efficiency, it has done one
thing that we shall have to meet 1t has brought
about in each country at combinations to
promote trade and increase the efficiency of their
manufacturing output. After the war the work
shops of Europe, in measures, or men, or ma
chinery, will not be twenty years behind any one,
and we might as well realize it now as later. The
competition will be fierce, with no quarter, and
the victory will not be to the self-satished or
the cocksure.
