THE AUDW AY

AT Fair time people like to be
faxed. and at the Skowhegan Fair
there was an interesting lot to pick
from. The merry go-round and
ferris wheel attracted the younger
generation as we'll as some of the
elders. The funny shows, the doll
men. the ball throWers. etc. all receiv-
ed their part of the crowds money
while fruit and quick lunch vendors
must have made small fortunes.
Evenings Of the Fair the midway and
Exhibition Hall were scenes of much
brilliance for the big Fair this year
was on night and day.

calendar Senator LaFollette announced that rather
than let it come to vote he would talk it to death
As that was comparatively easy under the condi-
tons that pertained at the time the measure was
suffered to drop.
That is our way of dealing with the overseas
trade problem. Contrast it with the German way,
of which we have fine example in the German
Economic Association for South and Central Amer
lea which was formed about one year ago and
which now has membership of 1000 firms inter-
ested in the South and Central American trade.
Right now this organization has complete staff
of agents in all the principal centers studying the
best ways and means of restoring German trade at
the end of the war.
With the information which these trained OBJ
servers will make available detailed study of the
problem will be made and policy will be evolved
to be put into effect before the ink is dry on the
articles which will put stop to the fighting. And
this policy will be based not upon the interests of
one firm or even of one kind of manufacture, but
upon the best interests of the German people as a
whole. And if government assistance Of any kind
is needed it will be forthcoming.
It does not take the gift of prophesy to foresee
what is going to happen to the trade Americans
have built up in Latin America if these conditions
arc permitted to remain unchanged.

MILLIONS FOR SEEDS BUT NOT
ONE CENT FOR RELIEF,

From the Charleston Post.
1t is no wonder that the democratic
newspaper wanted to put the respon.
sibtlity upon Governor Hatfield for
the refusal Of the Federal government
to give aid to the West Virginia food
sufferers. The governments was 20.
ing to provide funds for seeds for
quick.growing crops as the means of
relief to stricken people. And It
probably would have taken series
Of investigations and much red
tape" to prove that you were entitled
to q package of seeds.
1t would have been a wonderful
source of relief to the Cabin Creek
and Boone county food sufferers to
have gotten seeds for quick.growing
crops to provide food for people and
their stock" as proposed to be furn-
ished by the federal government.
Wonder what kind Of a "quick.grow.
ing crop" would have been quick
enough" to furnish food to people
that had been deprived Of practically
all their sources of food supply and
whose communication with the out
side world had been cut of. The sup
posed aid from the Federal govern
ment in the recent flood disaster has
proved considerable Of % fasoo. 3

TWO TARIFF THEORIES

A LII observers agree that the war in Europe will
n be followed by profound changes political,
economic, social, but the precise nature of
the changes is as yet largely matter of specua-
ton. One change, however, may be predicted with
some degree of certainty, and that is that England
at the very first opportunity will forsake the policy
of free trade, which she has followed since the days
of John Bright, Richard Golden and the Anti Corn
Law League, about the middle Of the last century,
and adopt protection.
Never since England abandoned the protectionist
policy has there been complete cessation of actv-
ity in its favor but it did not make much Roadway
until the late Joseph Chamberlain took it up. Even
leader of his force and foresight could not secure
its adoption. The war, however, has quickencd
British thought along this line as it has along many
Others and according to dispatch from Birming-
ham last Wednesday vote of the Trade Union
Congress representing nearly 100000 workers of
Great Britain resulted in the adoption of resolu
ton indorsing the principal of protection by ma
jority of more than million votes
The form of the resolution ought to be interest
ing to American wage earners. England is the fore
most consumer of American products and what
that country does about the tariff will have direct
bearing upon manufacturing conditions and the
food products in this country. The resolution asks
for 1.-THE adoption of methods for restricting or
preventing the importation Of cheap manufactured
goods produced at lower rates of wages and under
worse labor conditions than prevail in this coun-
try"
This is the same tariff doctrine that the Republi-
can party has stood for in this country from the
birth of that political organization The tariff
plank of the Chicago platform says, Protection
should be. reasonable in amount but sufficient to
protect adequately American industry and Ameri-
can labor and be so adjusted as to prevent undue
exactions by monopolies and trusts In striking
contrast to these two declarations with their ex-
pressed solicude for the worker is the tariff plank
Of the Democratic party adopted in June at St.
Louis. That declaration reads as follows: ''We
rearm belief in the doctrine of tariff for the
purpose of providing sufficient revenue for the
operation Of the government economically admin
istcred and unreservedly endorse the Underwood
tariff as truly exempfying that doctrine
The record proves that the Democratic party has
no more conception of how to administer the gov
ernment economically than it has solicitude for the
condition of the American workman.
