There is one particular subject with
which the United States must deal
in order TO meet the revulSiOn in pro-
duction and trade which will accom-
pany the close of the great war That
is the Tariff. 1 think there is very
general agreement upon that When
the demand for supplies to the armies
in the field has ended great numbers
of men will return to productive en-
ployment in Europe and great num-
bers of operatives will be thrown out
of employment here and will have to
find other work. Europe will have
little money and be heavily in debt.
She will be under strong compulsion
to pay her debts by making and sell
ing goods. She will be on a basis of
strict economy and high organization
and she can make and sell cheaply.
The United States will have an abun-
dance of money and vast purchasing
power. Our market has always been
attractive to European producers. 1t
will be far more attractive after the
war. 1t rs highly probable that even
England will resort to protective
tariff, so that our production will meet
. protective barriers in all foreign mar
kets- What are we going to do then?
We must do something. We must pro-
tect ourselves or we shall become the
dumping ground of the world and our
workmen will beg in the streets.
Even the Democrats have seen
that something must be done, for they
have provided a tariff board to aScer-
tain and report the true facts to which
a tariff law is to be applied. In Mr..
Taft's Administration the Republicans
provided for tariff board to report
to the President and it was appointed
and doing excellent work. When the
Democratic House elected in 1910
came in they starved it out of exist

ence by refusing appropriations. In
the last session of the 61st Congress
the Republicans passed through both
Houses a new bill for tariff board to
report to Congress. There were some
slight differences of detail in the two
Houses which were agreed upon in
conference, but the Democrats flibuS-
tered against the final conference re-
port and so killed the bill. So the
tariff board was dead-Slain by the
Democratic party. 1t has now been
resurrected by that party because they
see that something must be done
about the tariff when the war closes.
Now, we can all understand that if the
country wants a tariff for revenue only
they may put the making of it in the
hands of the Democratic party. But.
can any sane man contemplate that
party making protective tariff? In
the first place they can't do it honestly
They don't believe in it They were
born and bred in a different faith.
They have been crying so long that
protection is an abuse of power and an
abOmination that they can't reconcile
themselves to a protective tariff. and
they regard the Underwood tariff as a
model. That is what we are to have
l.
wood tariff still, with perhaps here
and there a slight modification regard
ing dye stuffs and some other articles
which can be shown to gentlemen
from Missouri and elsewhere. Well,
if there ever was a clumsy, ill cOnceiv-
ed misfit law, it is the tariff which
bears Mr.. UnderwOod's name. We had
already discovered what its effect was
tf1o in,
Many mills and factories were
closed or running but part of the
time. Great numbers of laborers were
thrown out of employment and the
market for American products was
still further reduced by the destruc-
ton of their purchasing power. En-
terprise halted discouraged and appre-
hensive of the future. New. enter
prises were no longer attempted. Old
plants were no longer enlarged. The
Underwood tariff had already failed
when the war in Europe began. That
war furnished and continues to fur
nish to American production the most
absolute protection because it has to so
great a degree stopped production in
Europe So long as the war lasts our
producers have practically no compe-
tition in our home market, for Europe
does not make the goods to sell here.
At the same time, while the war lasts
our producers have an enormous mar
ket in Europe for the things that Eu-
rope can't produce in sufficient guam
titles. When the war. is over that con-
dition will cease, and we shall deserve
what happens to us if we do not pro-
vide against that time by tariff quite
different from the Underwood tariff
and made by men who do not consider
a tariff for revenue only an article
of religious faith.-From the speech of

MIXED FARMING SHOWN TO PAY

Northwestern agriculturists who
have already adopted diversified farm
ing find themselves in fine shape this;
fall. While the wheat crop has fallen
off and grains is of very light weight.
Their corn crop shows up good and
will bring fancy price.
Just so long as the farmers continue.
to depend upon the wheat crop alone.
they will be subject to periods of fin
ancial depression, the bankers point
out. The bankers, business men and
professional men have recommended
more diversified crop not only for
the good of the soil but to give the,
farmers more steady source of in
come. Fluctuations in this factor have.
been so great in the past year that the
whole northwest is judged by the quail
ity of it's crop. Poor crops have been
spelled in terms of no money. and
good crops meant money was plenti-
full.
In speaking of diversified farming,
Grand Forks banker said: "This is
phase that needs attention without
doubt" Officials of the banks are
giving this question serious thought
and expect to have made a complete:
survey Of the situation in North d.
kota in short time.
Inquiry at banks reveals the fact,
that the bankers think that farmers
who used diversified methods this
year are in better shape this fall finan-
c1ally than those who did not.

Congregational Church Gives
Evening Service to Musical

Under the leadership of Mr.. Froy-

church gave a special musical pro-
gram of worship Sunday evening. Be-
side the splendid choruses there was a
duet by Messrs. Meyer and Stevenson
full of melody. Mrs. Elizabeth Clark
W0rley sang most effectively with a
violin obligato by Mr.. Froysaa. The
first Sunday evening of each month
will be given over to worship by mu>
sic. A unique part of the service Sun
day evening was the hour of social
fellowship following the regular church
service. Coming at the beginning of
the school year this was especially
helpful in enabling strangers to get
acquainted. There was an unusually
large attendance and all enjoyed the
friendly cheer. Light refreshments
were served. This will be repeated
on the first Sunday of each month
during the winter. The success of this
plan last winter shows there is need
for just this sort of friendly fellow
ship. Next Sunday is the quarterly
communion of the Lords Supper. AL
ready a number have signified their
desire to unite with the church. There
is a student membership roll whereby
those young people attending school
in Valley City and members of church
