WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. pa
standardization of the duties collected
on merchandise imported into the
United States from 1921 to 1915 is con .
tanned in the opening section of I'm
ported Merchandise Entered for Con-
sumption and Duties Collected there
on" during the fiscal year 1915, just
completed by the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, Department
Of Commerce, and soon to be issued in
pamphlet form.
Decreased customs revenues in the
fiscal year 1915 clearly reflect the in
f}uence of war, which operated to cut
of imports generally and especially
merchandise from Europe, the leading
source of dutiable goods. While Gus
toms revenues in 1914 amounted to
$3.50, 100000, a decrease of $28,7OO,OOo,
or less than 10 per cent, when COM
pared with 1913, in the following year
under war they fell to $2O5, SOO,O GOO, be,
ing $7S,7OO,OOO or q 1-2 per cent be-
low the total for 1914.
Customs revenues in the period from
1921 to 1S45 averaged, roughly speak
irg, about $25,0O0,000 a year; from
1921 to 1855, approximately $4,000
eco year; in the succeeding decade,
$G0,00O,O0O; in the thirty years from
1866 to 1895, about $180,OOO,OO0; and in
the last twenty years, a little more
than $257, 100000 per annum, the low
est point being $145OO0,OO0 in 1898 and
the highest $3295OO,OOO in 1907.
Sugar tobacco, cotton manufacture
es, and alcoholic liquors supply about
one-half the total revenues derived
from imported merchandise The dut-
les collected on imported sugar in the
fiscal year 1915 amounted to $4,000
geo, a decrease of $12,OO0,0O0 when
compared with 1914. manufactured
tobacco paid duties aggregating $22,-
100000, as against $23, 100000 in the
preceding year; and manufactured to.
bacco, $2,600,OOO as compared with
S5,300,O0O in 1914. On imported cotton
goods duties collected amounted to
$20,0O0,O0O; on distilled spirits, wines,
malt liquors etc. $13,400 10000; on silk
manufactures, ST., 600 600. and on man

Woodrow wilson in the House.

There are many excellent reasons
why the United States should quit the
, Philippine islands, which it has re-
fused TO allow its citizens to develop
to their profit. There are also ex-
cellent reasons why the United States
should stay in the Philippines, adopt
ing q course toward them radically
different from that which has been
followed in the past.
These reasons have nothing to do
with the conditions in the Democratic
majority in the House Of Represen-
tatives. which has split over the meas
ure providing that the United States
shall get out of the Philippines in the
immediate future
That split is symptomatic only of
the distrust. suspicion and dislike the
members of President Wilson'S party
feel toward him, says the New York
Sun. They would oppose him as vio-
violently on any other measure on
which his ambition was set. provided
that measure was one they dared to
oppose; they would throw his whole
program out of the window II they
had not high desire to retain their
Jobs; and whenever they find it posi-
eotblthwartayltnyuloaM shrdlu shrdl

dangering their own skins they may be

and ruin. Then came the European
war rs u partial antldote. 1t op-
Grated In some measure to limit the
volume OF competitive imports. and
at the same time created demand
for war munitions and supplies that
furnished employment for great
numbers OF American artisans who
otherwise would have continued in
idleness. This the greatest human
slaughter in history operated to
partially Offset the ruinous effects of
free trade.
In order to provide opportunities
for the employment of our con-
stantly increasing population, the
American protective tariff system
should be one which will insure ever
expanding industries. unfailing en-
ployment for labor and high stand
ards OF wages and living.
In view of the conditions certain
to follow the close Of the greatest
war in history. when foreign coun-
tries shall have resumed industrial
productions which must be exported
at whatever price they will bring in
the markets of the world. the neces-
sity Of an adequately protective tar
III to shield American labor and in
dustry becomes imperative.
In view. OF the facts and conditions
herein recited. all political parties
can best serve their country by per-
manent adherence to the policy OF
adequate protection for American la
Dor and industry. for American ag-
riculture and for every form of
American productive enterprise.
We favor protection to all Ameri-
can industries alike, that all may
prosper alike.
We favor such tariff duties on i'm
ports as will adequately protect
American labor and Industries from
unfair foreign competition to the
end that this republic shall do its own
work.
We therefore give pledge that at
the earliest moment following the In
auguration of protectionist presi-
dent and the induction OF a protec-
ZIONIST Congress an adequately pro-
tective tariff shall be enacted.

price OF a Winternitz car.
1.-THE Wtnternitz car may be SMALL
admitted the demonstration, but just
think Of the advantages of small
sized car! Your guests can't scratch
the polish with their feet, for the sim
pie reason that they haven't room to
stretch their feet out; II tire goes
bad on the road, you can simply knock
n kid of his bicycle and swipe one Of
his tires, and whenever you feel
cramped you can step out and push the
car along awhile. Now, IL you will
step in will take you on trial spin"
Spottiswoodie Jones was delighted
with the merits of the car The DEM
onstrator showed him how 1t could
turn corners on one axle, avoid colli-
sions by standing on its front or hind
legs, and act as an electric fan on hot
days by revolving rapidly with full
speed on.
But as Spottiswoodie was stepping
out in order to have elbow room to
get his $99.S0 from his trousers pock-
ct. the door swung to and caught his
finger.

And he spent the $3.50 on merry-go-
