can demand for autographs stone.
Heretofore we had been receiving our
supply from Bavaria, Germany, i'm.
porting from $4,000 to $s5, 900 wo,-
annually. But the war has thrown
us on our own resources. Chemicals,
minerals, fertilizers, etc, for which we
formerly depended upon Germany we
are now producing ourselves. We used
to say, "Oh. they will be SO much
cheaper If we buy them from Germany
instead of paying the extra expense
OF producing them at home" and so,
like England in a great many in.
stances. we began to rely on the power
with which We are now at war.
But before we accepted Germany's
challenge the war had become for us
more than protective tariff, it was
prohibitive tariff. Already we have
taken up the manufcc' re Of dyestuffs
from coal-tar products ror years one
interest fought another on the ques.
tion OF protection to dyestuffs made
here, and in the compromise the home
industry had to walk the plank. Two
years after the Germany supply was
shut off. Hill Of Connecticut esti.
mated that 'if every penny Of the
specific duty which it is now proposed
to add to the revenue rates aof the
present G915) law should be added TO
the price Of the consumer, It would
take one hundred years of that burden
to equal the losses which the exist

try in the last twelve months"
We had depended upon Germany s,r
our potash supply and when that W rs
cut off America went to work on the
problem. An Amer ! expert esti.
mates that with a proper coordination
of certain industries. we can produce

which can be sold to the American

Adopting Autocracy to Fight It.

1t may be necessary for a democracy
Even in a fight against autocracy it
may be necessary for democracy to
adopt the plans and methods of the
enemy it fights. But it must keep
in mind that these are expedients and
not principles.
We are granting or considering the
grant of. powers to the president of
the United Staes, which, when they
have been extended in full, will make
him the most powerful dictator of
human action in the world.
He will say if the scheme proposed
be carried through, what people may
buy, what they may read. what their
habits shall be- what service they
shall give, how they shall live, when
they shall offer themselves for death,
and how in every circumstance they
shall order their lives.
This is a tremendous power. which
the American republic never thought
one man in the republic. 1t may be
necessary to strengthen central direc-
tions and control and make one man
dominant in order that all men in the
nation may be secure. but it is to be
considered that these processes of gov
ernment are not the processes to
which it has committed itself.
Congress, if it follows out the ad-
ministration program, obliterates IT.
self as an agency in government.
will not be asked to consider legisla-
ton, but to grant complete powers of
executive action which will make
legislation unnecessary.
AS a desperate expedient, designed
to bring about the coordination and
cooperation necessary for the winning
of the war, the conferFng of power
may be justified, but it may also re
main as a dangerous precedent in our
national life.
We doubt il the United States ever
can completely rid itself of the new
processes 1t is adopting. They will
be adopted for emergency. Some Of
them will remain to govern in normal
times.
Autocracy will prove itself efficient,
and some of its methods will remain,
modified and changed, in normal tin es
from what they were in ABNORMAL
times, but nevertheless remaining in
sufficient strength to modify Our ;.:eas
of government.
There are many ironies in this war,
but none would be greater than that
Of change in the American democra-
cy caused by the necessity it found Of
meeting in war a great aut cracy.-

Some Liberty Loan Items

Some Liberty Loan Items
New York banks are said by the
New York Times to now hold very
small blocks of Liberty Bonds. This
is accounted for by the fact that
most of these banks received a re-
latively small amount Of the bonds
they subscribed for, and that they
have made sales to their customers
of those they did receive under the
allotment. The fact that the banks
are not loaded down with these
bonds is regarded by the Times Is
denoting very healthy condition
for the Liberty Loan bond market Is
it shows that there is popular de-
mand for the bonds.

THE LIBERTY LOAN CYCLE

Through the sale of Liberty Loar
Bonds the United States is borrow
ing large sums Of money from IT.
citizens, it's business men, farmers
wage earners, merchants, manafac.
turers. The government collects this
money and disburses it in two ways
Part it expends itself and part il
loans our allies. The United States
and these other governments spend
it for American products and Amer
lean labor and it goes back directly
into the hands Of the people, the
American business man, farmer,
banker, wage Garner, merchant and
manufacturer.
This is the cycle John Smith the
farmer and Thomas Brown the
wage Garner each has purchased a
Liberty Loan Bond paying the initial
payment of per cent. On June 2Sth
they made the Is per cent payment,
depositing the amount in their banks
and sending checks to the Federal
Reserve Bank of their district. The
Federal Reserve Bank collects the
check and redeposits the money with
the local banks. Later the Treasury
Department draws against it and the
money is again lodged with the Fed
eral Reserve Bank. It is almost i'm
mediately withdrawn from the Fed
eral Bank either by the United
States or by some foreign govern
ment engaged in war with Germany
to which the United States has ad-
vanced money and is paid out for
American products or labor. Some
Of it is spent for farm products and
raw material, and some of it for
manufactured products, thus going
back into the hands of American cit
jzens.
Therefore the money paid in by
the above mentioned John Smith and
Thomas Brown on June 28th in part
payment Of their Liberty Loan
Bonds may have gotten back into
the hands of American citizens.
Therefore the money paid in by
the above mentioned John Smith and
Thomas Brown on June 28th in part

world to the enormous possibilities
which will undoubtedly be at their
disposal for placing the second gov.
eminent loan. The people, it states,
have been impressed with the advan.

the government.
Postal savings in New York have
been mounting rapidly notwith-
standing numerous purchases by
