tation against Chinese in this country
and says that Caucasian laborers could
race. who lived in such a debased man

what difference does 1T make whether
the American laborer must compete
with the yellow man in this country or
compete with him across the sea? Tear

products of Chinese labor, and other
cheap labor, to compete with the pro-

America, and the President helped to

CANNING" PROSPERITY

a S an instance of the indirect ef-
IA feet of the European war on
the prosperity of our industries,
that of the canned goods industry may
be cited. The war has boosted the
price of sugar from two and a half to
three cents a pound higher than nor
mally. Canned goods dealers depend
on this fact to seriously curtail the
amount of fruit put up by the house
wives of the country who will conclude
that it is the part of economy to buy
the commercial product rather than go
to the trouble and added expense of
canning at home.
The direct effect of the war on this
industry is shown by the fact that our
exports of canned fruits increased
about 800 per cent, comparing the
seven months. August. 1915, to Feb
ruary. 1916, with the seven months
just previous to the outbreak of the
war. This is another sample \of Dem
ocratic prosperity.

HARvEY's PROPHECIES
Tn his keen analyses of political con-

n his keen analyses of political con-
j ditions and his prophetic con-
clusions regarding the thought and
purpose of the American people,
Colonel George Harvey occupies q
unique position among the great
editors of the country. In the May
issue of the North American Review
its brilliant editor correctly diagnosed
the situation in its relation to the dis
tinguished personalities involved in the
speculation as to the Republican ma
tional convention, indicating the tre-
mendous trend toward Justice Hughes
and the inevitable choice of the emil
nent jurist as the partys standard
bearer. Upon the eve of the conven-
ton, in the June number of his maga-
zine, Colonel Harvey further empha-
sized his conviction by predicting the
nomination of Justice Hughes upon
the second ballot. That was substan-
tally correct, although the formal
choice was not made until the third
roll call.
Thus the mantle of the prophet falls
comfortably upon the shoulders of the
magazine editor who has established
a remarkable record for accuracy in
foreshadowing the outcome of political
campaigns. With such regularity has
he named the winner since 1904 that
political leaders must hereafter invoke
his assistance in charting their course
Turning from the candidate whose
selection has confirmed the correct
ness of his vision, Colonel Harvey now
says the main issue of the campaign
this year is America; that all other
issues fade into insignifcance. Hear
him:
There is no exaggeration in say
ing that this is the one supreme
issue, the only one worth thinking
or caring about in this years cam
paign. 1t is no question of this
party or of that party; but of
America. 1t is no question whether
this candidate or that candidate is
the most available; but of America.
1t is no question of this petty prin-
ciple or of that picayune policy;
but of America. The question of
robust. unwavering, unhyphenated
the one by which every candidate
is to be tested in an acid test. 1t
is the one upon which every party
convention will be expected un-
equivocally to declare itself.
Colonel Harvey has justified his
reputation as the country's leading po.
litical prophet and pre-eminent dag.
