Why Our Navy Deteriorated

The annual report of the secretary of
the navy, which was recently laid on
the desks Of members of Congress, con-
tains some interesting statements Mr..
Daniels asserts that the present pro
gram for new construction was adopt
ed by a Congress that will go into his
tory as understanding and providing;
for the navy better than any of it's
predecessors. On the next page he
says: I'VE have seen the Navy of the
United States rise from the fourth or
fifth position among the worlds navies
to good second and then slip back in
1911 until it was doubtful third
1t is significant that our rise to sec
ond place in the navies of the world
took place under Republican admins
tretions, showing that the Congresses
OF that time had some conception Of
the needs Of the country, and it was
not until 1911. when a Democratic ma
jority In the House of Representatives
assumed control of appropriations, that
we dropped back to doubtful third"

Cow Owners of Maine to Meet Satur-

At least ten thousand lambs have
been sheared within fortnight on
Wall street according to calculations
of the big bankers and brokers, who
are now piling high this financial
fleece, as they always do when the
little gamblers have been shaken out
of the market. While the recent stock
shake-up has profited scores Of big.
operators to the tune of many millions
of dollars, there is not speculation

least of his winnings and possibly Of

Faets Concerning Foreign Trade

Speaking Of our foreign trade dur
ing the second period of the war, DR..
q. e. Pratt, Of the Department Of Com
nerce, says: Most important of all,
perhaps, is the great increase in our
expectations Of manufactured goods
and the decrease in our exports Of such
goods"
Everybody knows the reason for our
increase in expectation Of manufac-
tured goods: Huge consignments OF
explosives, machine tools, copper, sug-
ar, steel products Of all kinds, automo-
biles, ETC., leave this country each day
for beliigerent Europe. Nobody expects
that traffic to be permanent.
But, contrary to DR.. Pratts state
ment, our importations of manufacture
ed goods are on the increase. During the
nine months ended September, 1916,
our importations Of manufactures for
further use in manufacturing and man.
ufactures ready for consumption to
tailed $570,O00,0C0, compared with S404,-
100000 for the first nine months Of 1915,
and $685., 600, 900 for the first nine months
Of 1914, seven of which were under the
unrestricted operation of the Wilson
Underwood tariff for less-than revenue
law. Nearly sso,OoO,oOO worth came in
during the month of September alone,
and as these importations show an in
crease from month to month there is
every reason to believe that the record
for the calendar year will eclipse any
thing in our history.
We don't notice it so much now be-
cause sales abroad are huge, and pro-
fits are inordinate, but when the time
comes that all Europe is at the forge
and the loom this country is going to
have it ground into the very fibre of its
being that the protective policy is a
pretty good piece of common sense.

Self Advertising.

Many of the Democratic appointees
to responsible positions in the govern
ment service no sooner warm their Of
flce chairs than they are obsessed with
the idea of self-advertisement. and
leave nothing undone to bring them
selves and the great work they are
performing prominently before the
public and Congress, particularly Con-
gress. The publicity" bug seems to
be all-enveloping. Every department
of government has it and every news
paper of the land receives bulletins of
this or that departments stupendous
omplishments-with the superin-
tendent's name prominently figuring.
One department furnishes striking
illustration of that fact. The superin-
tendent's Office is just across the
street from the Capitol, which makes
it convenient for him to call on sena-
tors and representatives. He was ap-
pointed about a year and a half ago,
and was careful to send a copy of his
first annual report with personal let
ter to each member of Congress. 1t
now develops that the publication of
the report cost over $4,000, twice as
much as that of his Republican prede7
cessor, the difference beigg: represented
by the extra copies required for the
superintendent publicity campaign.

Two Factors in War Prosperitv

1t is evident that two factors exist in
the prosperity" which the country is
enjoying and which is reflected in orr
enormous balance Of trade, While the
volume Of our exports has taken on
huge proportions. their value has en-
HANGED largely, also. Thus, a COM
parison Of our export figures in a line
Of 50 selected commodities for the ner-
iods of 1914 and 1915. shows that Of a
total export trade amounting to 81 ,s1o-
s2s.767, the increase is about two-thirds
due to an expanded volume of trade
and about one-third due to enhanced
prices. The high cost Of exports, there
fore is an element in the present situ-
alton which is not to be overlooked.
