War Prosperity.

That the present prosperity of the United
States is due in large measure to the European
war seems to be clearly shown by figures COM
piled by the Democratic administration, and sent
broadcast by the Republican National Committee
Seventeen articles entering into the manufacture
OF actual munitions, foodstuffs and various sup
plies for the great armies of Europe have con-
stltuted this year 64.7 per cent of the total ex-
ports of this nation During 1914, these articles
constituted 3I.7 per cent of the total exports.
During the fiscal year, 1914, when normal condi-
tons prevailed, the exports of these seventeen
articles amounted to $78I,I73,3oo. During the
fiscal year ending June &c. 1916 with the war in
full blast, the exports of these seventeen articles
amounted to $2732, ,ao3,247 The gain in the ex-
portation of these seventeen articles alone
amounted to $I,o5Iyo2o,8s7. That gain would pay
the wages of over million and three quarter
men for year at $3.50 day for each working
day. So much for the export trade in war muni-
tions and supplies. But the other side of the
slate is equally important While there has
been this tremendous gain in supplies for the
armies, there has been a falling off in other
lines. The loss in ordinary exports-as dis
tnguished from exports-for the fiscal year
of 1916 amounted to $2o8,3161o 1o8. Should the
sudden ending of the war result in the return of
war exports to the normal, therefore, the total
loss probably would reach the amount of
81, 7oo,oooooo.
