WE CAN BUT WON'T.

In his memorandum submitted to
President Wilson, Secretary Of Com.
merce Redfield spoke of the false
doctrine of American inability to conf
pete" There is no such doctrine, there
never has been, and Mr.. Redfield
knows it. He has put up straw adj
versary in order to make display OF
knocking it down. American. ingenu.

with any nation on earth, on equal
terms. They can compete on equal
terms, but they won't.
Now, Mr.. Redfield and President
Wilson, please take note of the differ
ence. We have the ability but we
haven't the inclination. The American
laborer can live on the same wages
and under the same conditions as the
European and the Asiatic, but he
won't. And we are proud OF him,

tains OF American industry.
There are some American statesmen
who would like to force American
labor to accept European and Asiatic
standards. They tried to put that
over and as result we had long bread
lines and vast armies of unemployed
in 1914. You think you democrats
can do that again, Mr.. Redfield, but
you can't. When it comes to ques-
ton of inability" you are up against
it. You simply can't put it over
again.

REPUBLICANS At WORK.

The republican national committee
at Washington, meeting in December,
decided to hold the republican conyen-
ton this year in Chicago, and the CON-
mittee of the general convention met
in Chicago last week to arrange some
details about the convention. A num-
Der of the prominent leaders Of the
party were present at this meeting
and a most optimistic feeling seemed
to prevail among those who are in
close touch with the national affairs.
Mr.. Hills, the chairman of the
committee, presented an indictment
against the democratic administration
which points. out the shortcomings in
the management of affairs since the
change took place three years ago. 1t
was conceded by almost every one that
the European war was fortunate
thing for this administration, for 9TH
erwise it. is generally conceded that
the country would have been without
an adequate market. The demand on
the country for foodstuffs and NUM-
tons OF war have been so great that
we have had a magnificent market Of
late, and of course, American produc-
ers are reaping the benefit Of it. No
one for moment would claim that the
price of grain would be what it is but
for the fact of the European war.

Numerous opponents OF a protective
tariff have been asserting recently
that 1--WE cannot go on indefinitely sell
ing, to other countries more than we
buy from them" The inference they
would have us draw is that since a
protective tariff cuts off imports and
encourages exports by building UP
home production, we would ultimately
reach the point where we could no
longer find buyers with money to
spend. But those who advance this
theory overlook several important
facts One Of these is that sales and
purchases of merchandise do not CON
stitute all of international trade. Pay
ment for service is another factor;
payment of interest and dividends is a
third factor and expenditures by tour
lists is fourth. Although we have
been an export nation, with balance
of trade in our favor, We have been
debtor nation because we paid foreign
ship owners for carrying our merchan-
disc, we pay huge sums every year as
interest and dividends on foreign cap.
ital, and our people spend millions
every year touring Europe and the
orient. If we had not built up huge
trade balance, we would have been
bankrupt long ago. And that explains
why American business was wrecked
by the democratic tariff law. We We're
sending large sums abroad for the
three purposes mentioned, but balanc-
ing it with surplus exports. The low
tariff law turned the balance of trade
against us and then it was all outgo
and no net income. We had reached
the point where industrial bankruptcy
confronted us. The war averted the
full destructive blow that threatened
American business.

the general public is even less able to
buy on its own judgment alone.
So the public depends more than
ever on the honesty of the men with
whom it is dealing. Here comes in
disadvantage OF dealing with the mer
chants near ones home. They can't
afford to sell goods that are not as
represented. A sale made under a
misunderstanding or false impression
Is left handed advertising of the worst
kind. The success of the home mer.
chant is dependent upon selling goods
for just what they are.
