MAKE sAUERKRAUT

TAKE sauerkraut" is the advice
M of the Department of Agricul-
ture in the face of the biggest
cabbage crop in years.
Pennsylvania may be expected to
follow this bit of advice with energy
and enthusiasm. Sauerkraut ranks
with lobster and turkey as a delicacy
in the Keystone State. It's a humble
dish, to be sure. but one that even
epicures do not shun. Many a man
who turns up his nose at the mention
of sauerkraut .sneaks down to the
corner restaurant and eats two or
three dishes on the sly at a single
sitting. But now that sauerkraut
has been given a place in the con-
servation program of the nation,
those "uppish" folks who erstwhile
pretended that they did not like
kraut may indulge their appetites in
the open on the ground of patriotic
duty.
Beating back the German efforts
to starve us out with waves of steam
from pots of boiling sauerkraut is
our idea of combining patriotism
with pleasure.

What Is a Man?

What is a man? How much is he
worth from a scientific standpoint?
According to one way of looking at
1T, man is worth about $3.50 a day
from his shoulders down and any
where from $4,000 to $1,OOO,OOO a
year from his shoulders up.
The scientist, however, looks at the
question from another angle. Accord
ing to him, man is worth $245 for
Illuminating purposes, since a man
weighing $50 pounds contains $500
cubic feet of oxygen, hydrogen and
nitrogen in his constitution, which at
20 cents per 1000 cubic feet EQUALS
the price above.
Furthermore, it makes no differ
ence how sour a man may look he
contains about sixty Jumps of sugar,
a great deal of starch, chloride of
potash, magnesium, sulphur and hy-
drochloric acid in his system. There
are fifty grains of iron in the blood
of an ordinary man, enough to make
one spike large enough to hold his
weight
What is a man? This is the some
what cynical answer of one scientific
man:

OFFICIAL INSTRUMENTATION

rN the Philippines, of course. we
have the inside track, and in
= Australia American cottons are
very popular" declared w. A. Gra-
ham Clark, textile expert" to the
United States Tariff Commission, IN
an address. before the Industrial EX-
\position and Export Conference at
Springfield, Mass, recently. The
speaker admitted that we had lost
q great deal of cotton goods trade in
China as a result of japanese un-
derseliing, but closed with the COM
Portable assurance, II do not think
that the end OF the war will find a
single country of Europe. not ex-
cluding England, as we'll prepared
for competition abroad as it was in
1913"
This administration has remark
able lot of experts" on its payroll.
Mr.. Clark's statement in regard TO
our sales of cotton goods TO the
Philippines betrays the fact thSt he
did not have accurate information.
The evidence OF to-day is all to the
effect that the United States is los
ing this trade in the Philippines, and
that Japan is getting the inside track
both there and in Australia. The
annual report of the chief of the
bureau of customs of the Philippine
Islands, for the fiscal year 1916,
which, with true Democratic form.
makes its appearance one year late,
speaking of cotton manufactures
says: while the United States con-
tinues to show the greatest amount
in value of these commodities, the
importations for the year 1916 de-
clined in value as compared with
1915" And he then goes on to
show the material increase in the
importation of Japanese cotton
goods.
This japanese competition in the
Philippines certainly had something
to do with the fact that while ouI
exports OF cotton cloths to the
islands In 1915 totaled nearly 107,-
100000 yards, the amount. for 19le
was but 100000 yards, and the
indications are that the figures fol
the present fiscal year, when avail.
able, will show no improvement. ia.

PROTECTION IN THE SOUTH
submission

r is strange circumstance that in
the North we frequently find in
the public schools text books
Which teach the doctrine of free
trade, while in the South the situa-
ton is as often reversed. In one
OF the most pronounced of the free
trade States of the South, we find a
high school history imparting in
formation which cannot be other
wise than calculated to establish
opinion in favor of protective tariff.
Speaking of industrial conditions in
the United States at the time of the
outbreak OF the Civil War, that text
book says:
The South was essentially an
agricultural region depending for
Its income chiefly upon its ex-
ports of cotton and tobacco.
The supplies which the South had
been in the habit of importing
could not now be procured except
at enormous prices, and in very
small quantities. This
condition of affairs might have
been prevented if the South be-
fore the war had given itself to
the development of varied indus
tries. In the North. on
the other hand, conditions were
very different At the beginning
OF the war, high protective tariff
was established. partly to provide
increased revenue and partly to
encourage the rapid spread of
home industries. The consequence
Nhroughout the entire period OF
the war; As the Northern ports
were all open, intercourse with
toreign markets was easy, and the
rise of prices was not so great
anywhere as to cause considerable
inconvenience. In fact. the North
grew steadily in wealth during
the war.
At the outbreak of the war in Eu-
rope we had, in small way, a repe-
tition of the experience of the South
after the outbreak of the Civil War.
America, for instance, had not de-
veloped dye industry and was de-
pendent upon Germany. Just as the
blockade during the Civil War pre-
vented the South from getting those
supplies which it had not learned to
produce for itself, so the United
States, owing to the blockade estab-
lished by Great Britain, was unable
to get dyestuffs from Germany.
The principle of the protective
tariff does not depend upon the as
sumption thatNwe shall build up our
industries as a protection against
want in time of war. The protective
tariff is primarily a peace measure
designed to encourage the building
up Of home industry. with the conse-
quent profitable employment of home
labor. and the prevention of the ex-
port of money in return for the i'm
port of goods.
We have both reason and expert.
ence in support of the conclusion that
for the purposes of either peace OF
war, a protective tariff is our sound.
