Wilson's View Of Webster.

Writing recently of the political de-

son said:
Mr.. Webster had lost his hold upon
his own people. They had deemed his
advocacy of the compromise a base
and cowardly retreat from the high
place Of doctrine and Of craftsmanship
he had held SO calamity" etc.
Doesn't it occur to Mr.. Wilson that
there are some millions Of American
citizens who in 1912 were his own peo-
pie" but upon whom he has now lost
his hold because Of retreat from the
high place Of doctrine and statesman
ship enunciated in the Baltimore plat
form? Has he no recollection Of his
pledge to preserve the merit system
in the Civil Service. his promise of Sc
curity to American citizens wherever
they have right to be. his pledge of
economy, his free canal pledge, his
presidential primary pledge, and above
ALL his single-term pledge? How can
he draw the picture of disappointed
Webster without reading between the
lines the story Of his own downfall?

Il pessn't Look "StraisI1t."

Congressman Frederick Fl. Gillett Of
Massachusetts,, January 20, 1916: There
is one singular incident in connection
with the annual estimates which at
tracted my attention. The Secretary of
the Treasury in his annual report
states that "the postal revenues will
probably amount to $316,000.800. with
expenditures for the postal service for
the same period under existing laws Of
1924 600" But the estimates for
the post Office appropriation bill were
only $4,000, 900 and wondered where
that balance of 100000 was taken
care Of. and l finally found it tucked
away in the estimates for permanent
appropriations. There is no precedent
for placing it there. Why was not the
post Office bill estimated at $324,00O, 900
instead of 5000, 900? Why was that
$4,000, 900 hidden under permanent ap-
preparations? can think Of no reason
or. at least none that care to sug-
gest-and 1 think it ought to be ex-
planned.

lngman. They also declared for a tariff
board to investigate industries here and
abroad and advise Congress respect
ing the same. The president Of the as
ISOLATION in his address declared:
IF We wish to retain our, home mar
kets for our home products against for
eiGn invasion, which is absolutely GER
tam 10 come, We must prepare for it
now. Trade moving along the line Of
Ieast resistance, we must expect to
meet the opposition Of foreign shoes in
our own market, and as an indication
OF what will happen let me call your
attention to the fact that the present
tariff placing shoes on the free list
during the few months Of it's operation
had already stimulated shoe operations
felt by inroads made in our home mar
ket had not the outbreak Of the present
war stopped foreign shipments Of
shoes. The administration in Washing
ton is fully aware Of this fact"
The gentleman is quite correct in his
assertion. Statistics compiled by the
Department Of Commerce show that
imports of shoes increased during the
ten months free operation OF the Tn
derwood law. October, 1913, to July,
1914, 70 per cent over the period Octo-
Der, 1912, to July, 1913, ten months,
under the Republican law, while during
the ten months war period, under the
Democratic tariff law, October, 1914
to July, 1915, the imports of shoes
showed a slight increase over the Re-
publican ten-months period. despite the
huge demand from the belligerents for
shoes. Shoes cost from Is to % cents
pair more to manufacture now than
year ago. owing to the increased
cost of shoe findings.

The Idle Lumbermen.

The deplorable effects Of Democratic
tons along the Pacific coast is shown
by the story brought to Washington
this week by Mr.. Russell Hawkins Of
Portland, Oregon, who is extensively
engaged in numbering. Mr.. Hawkins is
the man who supplied the 250-foot flag
pole for the San Francisco exposition,
the tallest single-stck fiag-pole in the
world.
I'VE have a numbering plant in which
100000 is invested and which, under
normal conditions, employs 357 men,
but which has not turned a wheel
since June, 1914" said Mr.. Hawkins.
where we formerly had 357 men we
now have one man with a grease pot
to keep the rust off our idle machinery.
There has been a slight revival in the
last 60 days but we have lost two
years of active business. We closed
down before the war broke out in
Europe, which shows that depression in
the lumber business was not due to
the war, but to the general business
market for lumber products. Our ex-
perience was similar to that Of other
concerns engaged in logging and lum-
bering.
You can readily see what the clos
ing down of this small logging bust
ness means to industry, not only on the
Pacific coast, but in other parts Of the
United States. Directly. the throwing
out of employment Of 357 men means
the loss Of 100000 year wages, and
the loss of another 100000 a year for
supplies for our logging plant; but in
directly it means much more. for when
our logging crews are out of employ
ment. a much larged number Of men
are out of employment in the saw
mills and in other industries depend
ing thereon. The 100000 which we
would have paid to the men in our
camps, if work could have continued,
would have been spent by them for
clothing. such as overalls. boots and
shoes. gloves. hats, and other articles
manufactured in Eastern states. These
men would have spent the money large
ly for provisions for the maintenance
of their families
practically every industry in the
United States suffered as a result Of
the depression in the numbering bust
ness. Railroads lost transportation
business. carpenters had little demand
for their services.
Briefly stated. the closing down of
any basic industry vitality and disas-
