GnumeraIng the reasons why Pro-
gressives should support the Demo-
cratic party in this election and hop
ing, no doubt, to ensnare others the
chairman OF the Democratic national
committee points to the passage Of
the Sherwood service pension law as
an achievement Of his party That law
was enacted through the votes Of a
Republican Senate and it went on the
statute books by the signature OF a
Republican president.
The Sherwood law, to describe it
correctly, is best classified as weak
imitation Of the law prepared and pre-
scented in previous Congress by one
of the best friends the old soldier ever
had in Washington, Congressman Cy-
rus A. SuIOway, of New Hampshire.
The Sherwood law, though iathcrcd
by Democrat, was never a fayoritc
with Democratic congrcssman-of
whom there we're 800 in that Congress.
Yet only ninety-ninc Democrats voted
for tho bill; and cighty-lye voted
against 1t. That House contained only
1j9 Republican membGrs-yet l2J OF
them were recorded in favor Of the
service pension act, and only eight
voted against it. In the Senate the
feeling of the two parties was even
moro omphatically demonstrated.

about 10000, five-sixths free ne

Their agricultural product is sugar

After rising like a rocket to a figure
nearly treble that Of year ago, the
price of gasoline is now coming down,
slowly, It is true, but under conditions
of equal mystery with those which
marked its rise.
But why does gasoline suddenly be-
come cheaper after as suddenly be-
coming dear? asks the New York
World. That is the prize puzzle Of a
system of price fixing Of which the
oil Industry has furnished many eX-
ampIcs, The present reduction is
attributed to increased production and
a slackening Of the demand for the
fuel for the military needs OF Europe,
But certainly the domestic demand
both for industrial and pleasure uses
has enormously increased, The decline
in the price Of crude oil has been
slight and it is not assumed that the
long-established and efficiently man
aged producing companies have only
at this late day effected economies
which make its production cheaper.
Why, then. does gasoline cost less now
than month or a week ago?
Gasoline is more than ever a pub
lie necessity. The recent OcXtrcme
fluctuations in its price have inspired
congressional inquiries. The federal
trade commission has just finished
an investigation of methods of pro-
duction and conditions of cost Yet

During the eleven months ended
May 1916, France sold us $20,0OOOO0
worth of its goods more than for a
similar period Of 1915. That was a
pretty good stunt for Monsieur con-
sidcring the fact that he carried a gun
in each hand and a sword in his teeth
all that time. But then, he had the
aid Of the Underwood INlr-free-trade
tariff law to get into the American
market. OF course our exports to
France recorded an enormous increase
during the Two periods. Normally in
the noighborhood Of $15O,000,000 an

On November Z, 1916, we also
elect the future Of America.
Never in The history of this coun-
try has it been more necessary TO
keep the political point Of view ma

imperative obligation upon lndiYid-

We have the opportunity to sacri-
fee minor Issues now We may not

In its emphasis upon the national

The world is passing through a
great crisis and no man can tell
what trial and jeopardy will have to
be faced by this nation during the
years Immediately ahead, There is
now no longer before us for decision
the question as to what particular
man we may severally most desire to
see at the head OF the government
We can decide only whether during
these possibly vital years this coun-

Orr Free Tradc business.

II American manufacturers are

ports. that does not begin to tell
the story of the tariffs share in It..
For the most part purchases abroad,
even while the war goes on, are free
trade business pure and simple. Let
the records make it clear, says the
New York Sun,
For the eleven months ending
with last May the increase Of our
IMPORTS, taken as a whole, over the
corresponding period Of 1914 before
the war was $215,691.S65, the two
imRort figures being $b952,O8S,O12
and $1.736,396. 2O7,
But there was an actual loss in
our dutiable imports for the eleven
months ending with last May as
compared with the eleven months
ending with May, 1914, the drop
being from $702,S39,570 to $6lS,-
I223,526. The increase in the value
Of imports admitted free of duty
therefore. was 1904 ,SO7,909. In
other words, despite the huge mass
of imports now coming TO us and
swelling in volume and value every
month the dutiabe imports are sc
much lower than they We're before

than appears on the face of the total
imports.
