THE TARIFF. COMMISSION

There is considerable talk IN WASH
ington about the probable selections
Of President Wilson for the Tariff
Commission. Just now when there Is
so much talk of peace and so much
fear Of the effect Of peace on the IN
dustrial interests Of the country, the
feeling In administration circles ls
that the appointment OF the Commits
sion at this time vii so long ways
toward allaying the fears OF the Amer
lean business men. That will depend
entirely on when peace comes. If the
Commission was organized today 1t
would be over year before II could
be in a position to make any prac-
teal suggestions with regard 10 the
tariff. The lntelligencer has never
been enamored Of the Commission
idea. and has given what it believes
to have been some very practical reas-
ons for its objections. In the present
emergency there is only one thing 10
do to be safe. and that is to eliminate
the free list to great extent and
raise the duties that were lowered be-
yond the safe com etitire point by
the Underwood bill
However, as We are going 10 have
the Tariff Commission let us have 1t
at once. but not with any hope that 1t
Is going to do the things that are
promised for it, Anyhow We can tell
much more about II when We are
made acquainted with its personnel.
There was some talk about Miss Ida
Tarbell being one Of the selections
the President had in mind. We hope
for Miss Tarbells sake she will not
be chosen. She has gained some rep.
utation as historian. She would lose
a great deal in any connection she
might have with revision Of the tar
if, because she has a we'll defined
free trade mind and an emotional adj
miration for the Wilson policies. Pro-
fessor Taussig, Of Harvard University
is said to be acceptable to the Prest-
dent as one Of the Republican mem
bers. AS he inclines to protection he
would be very acceptable to the Re
publicans 1t is said, however. that
Prof. Taussig has not yet been con-
WINGED that such q position would be
a good thing for himself.
Among the Democratic possibilities
most frequently mentioned in Daniel
Roper. He would be fine selection
from a Democratic free trade stand
point. Daniel is one of the most de
serving" Of Democrats. He was
clerk OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee Of the House that drafted the
Underwood bill. So much for compe,
tency. Afterwards he was made AS.
sistant Postmaster General, and just
before the last campaign started he
resigned to be in position to hustle
the postmasters' into greater activity
for Wilson's election. SO much for
his soundness politically. He is the
rankest Of partisans. which explains
his favor with the President. Strange
ly enough these are the only names
that gossip has connected with the
Commission. Maybe the President has
a surprise up his sleeve.

WHAT ANALYSIS SHOWS

With some people it doesn't make
INV difference where prosperity
comes from just as long as they are
participants in the better times that
have come to this country. Neither
do they care whether it is fleeting IN
character or established on perma-
nent basis. 1t was such persons who
believed the Democratic adminlstra-
ton in the prediction period OF last
wear when it averred that the war IN
Europe had nothing to do with the re-
yiyaI of business and industry, and
that the prosperity was of its own
making. This was not only mlsrepre-
sentation, It was plain lying and many
voters were deceived by it. These
falsehoods have frequently been e1-
posed In these columns, but never
have the hypocritical claims Of the
Democrats been so clearly revealed as
. q recent analysis Of our foreign trade,
comparing the export value Of forty
six classes Of commodities for the first
nine months of 1915 with the same
period OF 1914, showing an increase
of $2,10O, 100000. This conveys some
idea to the casual reader OF what Is
meant BY the expression war pros
perity."
Our total exports to all countries
during the nine months ended Sep

of which was under the protective
tariff policy. totaled S1,7o5.OoQ0o0 OF
which Europe took ssS5,OoO.Ooo worth,
or 5s.5 per cent, the 46 classes or
goods under consideration accounting
for Is per cent OF the total exports.
Seven Of the first nine months OF 1914

depression in the United States. I'm
ports were increasing, exports were
decreasing, and the balance OF trade
was running against US. The Euro
pean war bomb burst August l, 1914,
and almost Immediately there was a
rush to our market Of European pur-
chasers OF horses, mules, breadstufts,
and metals. In August. for example,
Great Britain made huge purchases
OF sugar in the United States. Not
withstanding this stimulus to our e1-
mort trade, however. the total for the
nine months period of 1914 was $685.

making UP 40 per cent Of the total.
But during the first nine months OF
1915 our exports averaged $434,0oO.V00
in value per month, the total to all
the world being s3,s07. 100000, OF
which Europe took II per cent. or
$2,T59,000,0 700, and the forty-slI
