lines Effect the Great
War Has Had.

Washington, Aug. 26.-How the
war has affected the worlds bust.
ness is detailed in a statement com.
piled by the Department of Com.
merce for Chairman Simmons, OF
the Senate Finance Committee. The
following general conclusions arc
given:
Business activities were fairly
normal in the various countries OF
the world during the two years pre-
ceding the outbreak of The war.
I'm every country, including the
United States, there was decided
decline in business activity after
July, 1914.
The period of business depres-
sion following the outbreak of the
war lasted from four to six months
in most of the neutral countries. In
the belligerent countries the up
ward trend did not begin until the
last few months in 1915.
There was a slight depression in
business activity in the United
States in the latter part of 1913 and
early in 1914, but in the spring and
summer of 1914 there were signs OF
recovery. The outbreak of the war,
however, caused a decided decline.
THE United States at the close of
the period, April, 1916, had entered
upon period of business activity
which has had no parallel in ihe
history Of the country
Complete figures could not be OBJ
tanned for all countries. but the re-
port contains the most complete sta
tistics and diagrams issued on the
subject under one cover since the
war started.

II is estimated that the number
of wage-earners has increased from
100000 in 1912 to 100000 in
1915. and the wages paid them is
more than s3,OO0,OOO,O00 more
since the Inauguration of a Demo-
cratic administration. This sounds
like prosperity with a big p. 1t is
a condition of laboring affairs which
should be perpetuated. and the only
way Of continuing it is by the re-

the duty of every wage-earner to

II was during a Republican adj

monetary panics overlook this coun-
try that it ever experienced. Dur

man couldn't check his own money

had done nothing before-nor have
they since-to prevent this sort of
thing. Then, as now, they were I'M

Candidate Hughes is still thrash
ing around among the voters, speak
ing at random and in "a haphazard
way which nobody hardly expected
before his nomination. His speeches
have little or no element of basic
ideas. No citizen is better advised
as to his public duties or gains more
solid information by hearing him
speak. There is little or no appeal
TO public reason or intelligence. He
offers much criticism of President
Wilson, but declines to answer i'm

mostly in the nature of partisan
karangues.

A warning note is being SOUNDED
In Democratic circles that it is very
unwise Tor prospective candidates
who aim TO run for Office next year
TO begin their preliminary campaign
now. Such procedures serve to ere
ate factions and possible dissensiOu
which at the present stage Of the
political game are very undesirable.
There will be plenty of time for such
campaigns after the coming election.
Every effort should now be used to
elect the ticket on hand. 1t will
take cooperation and work to do it.
Let all Democrats unite for this sole
purpose.
