On the other hand. the sane prln-

In cold figures, the effect of that
condition is appalling. 1t is far
more aggravated than ever the ma
tion faced before. Preceding the war
we supplied Europe in exports with
about two billions OF dollars value
per year. We have now jumped to
over four and one-half billions. With
the Underwood tariff operating along
with pauper-labor in Europe. our ex-
ports would drop even below the two
billions. The loss Of the other two

The finances for the operation of the

the people must believe in the fair

it complete and satisfactory.

EUROPE'S WAR, AMERICAS PAY
ROLL AND THE UNDERWOOD
TARIFF

Coincident with the report of the
senate finance committee calling for
a special tax levy to cover $205, ,000,-
600, which the democratic tariff fail
ed to produce, came the republican
demand for a tariff policy which will
protect and produce. Today this is
followed by another proof of the in
evitable necessity for protection as
an industrial preparedness against
invasion of foreign merchandise after
the war. From Washington comes
the report that our exports continue
higher than ever before, and that for
the past year our total export has
jumped more than-a billion and half
over the-yeaf before. But even the
.-yeaF before had felt the impulse or
the war-protection, and comparison
with the exports of previous years
shows approximately three billion Of
dollars to the good, 1910, which is
an average year for exports, showing
about one billion seven hundred mill
lions.
II is considered probable that the
war will have terminated before
1920. With the Underwood bill we
would face dilemma. When the
European millions are turned back
into the lines OF industry, the present
American industries, founded on the
temporary non-existence Of the for
eign ones. will be forced into COM
petition under which either the in
dustry must fail and throw thousands
out OF employment, or the standard
OF living Of those employed must be
lowered to meet that endured by the
soldier-labor OF Europe. The latter
IA intolerable. even to thought. The
former would be the result, and the
payroll would cease. An invasion OF
foreign manufacturer would food the
nation. True. as the democrats say,
those Manufacturer would be cheap,
much cheaper than today. But IT
does not follow that the cost of liv-
ing would be lowered for the work
,ng man, whose wages stop when in
dustry stops, would have no wages
