labor'S Share of the Profit.

lncome-taX returns prove that the Well-to-do are earning more money than ever before. Reports of railroads and industrial companies show that they are earning on the average larger profits than they ever earned in the past. The general advance in wages all over this country, emphasized by United States Steel's announcement of another increase involving $15,000,- 00O, proves also that the American workingman is getting more money in his pay envelope than was ever put in it in any previous year. Every com modity, or at least every essential one. !s higher in price, and so the entire land has been lifted upon a plane hitherto untouched. Big profits, big wages and big prices go hand in hand. When prices are high commodities ap- pear to be scarce, and when wages are higher labor is least plentiful. Today there is a genuine dearth of labor in the United States, which contrasts with endless lines at soup kitchens and two millions idle few years ago.

RECITAL 0F RUIN
That Is, According to Republican
 Argument.
New York World Points Out HOW Standpat Organs Have Brought Disaster on Their Cause by
 Persistent Foolish Claims.

If it was not for the European war the country by this time would be ill., dustrially in ruins because of the Un- derwood- Simmons tariff act. If you do not believe it, go back and see how imports were overwhelming us in the first year of this act, which ended just before the war broke out-the fiscal year 1915"
 This daily chant of the standpat or gans apparently moved the senate awhile ago to address to the depart ment of commerce resolution ct iL- Quiry which Secretary Redfield new responds to. And the damning fact IS admitted that imports in 1914 under the said tariff were 4,5 per cent larger than in 1913 under the Payne Aldrich tariff. Dutiable imports were actually less, but free imports, chief ly of materials for our factories, were larger.
 This is bad, but a worse tale of ruin remains to be told. It relates to the first year of the prior Payne-Al- drich standpat tariff and is proved in precisely the same way. In that first year imports increased IS per cent over the previous year.
 Therefore it is shown by accepted standpat rules of evidence that four times more ruin was produced by the Payne-Aldrich tariff in it's first year than by the Underwood Simmons tariff in it's first year-New York World.
