BUYING AND SELLING.

For the twelve months ending with
January 81, 1917, our purchases of
foreign merchandise tota1ed SEAS
97S,244, an increase of more than
$6OO,OOO,O00 over the imports of the
previous twelve months. The coun-
try has never before taken so much
as two and a half billions of foreign
wall from the American Economist,
the organ of the Protective Tariff
league as follows:
mo one ought to need to be told
what the baneful effects upon Ameri-
can labor, industry and business will
be when the return of peace shall
have enabled the outside world to
dump still greater quantities of its
surplus upon the American market"
Increased purchase of foreign pro-
ducts is due to the fact that they can
not be obtained at home because
Americans are too busy filling war or
ders, payment for which is bringing
steady stream of gold into the
country.
Do the high tariff people think that
we can continue Indefinitely to sell
and buy nothing in return? This
dumping" process does not appear to
have reduced cost to the consumer,
or the wages of American workmen.
We should not be expected to get
and keep all the money in the world.

We are tired of being idiotic.
It's so blithering silly.
One can be entertainingly brain
less up to a certain point, but be-
yond that one is merely annoying.
We had thought today to dag
nose the toy terrier, that nickers
worth of dog with a million-dollar
pedigree, which wags a warped
lead pencil on one end and sports
a nervous nose on the other. But
that did not appeal to us.
Then we considered the porcu-
pine; and figured out fetching
line about his being the original
apostle of preparedness because he
trains his hair for home defense.
But VIC tried it on the office boy.
and he didn't laugh, so we set that
subject aside. We tried some other
things, but they were just as use
less.
There are times when even a
professional fool can't do a good
of it.

in erecting Chicago's new $60,000,000
union station has been settled by ar
bitration, after a cessation of activity
lasting but few days. In comment
ing on the successful termination of
the trouble the Chicago Herald says:
Aside from the advantage of set
thing this particular strike it is well
to have it ended thru a vote of con-
fidence in arbitration. The unions, the
builders and the community as a
whole will be benefited. The unions
prosper thru arbitration because the
system renders the activities of bust
ness agents more difficult. Arbitra-
ton brings a greater measure of self
government to the unionists. The
builders gain by a peaceful adjudica-
ton of industrial controversies be-
cause there need be no cessation of
operation while a settlement is being
reached The money wasted in fight
ing strike is sometimes greater
than the sum involved in the con-
troVersy.
Finally the community gains be-
cause to a large extent the neutral
public pays the bills of all this private
warfare. 1t is to be hoped that the
peace which has come to the building
trades will prove durable.
