the field of agriculture. That has come mainly from
Canada and the South American countries Japan and
China 1t is on this competition that the Republi-
can Publicity Association now relies. 1t has issued
a table showing the increase of imports of eighteen
articles in the years 1913 1915 and 1917. In this
list included such articles of common use
eggs, fresh meats beans onions dried peas potatoes
and wool. The increase in the imports of all Of
them have been enormous, ranging from 100 per
1000 per cent
Il is inferred of course that but for the demo-
cratic tariff these importations could not have so
increased. But when take into account the higher
prices of all of them can see that tariff has
ever been levied against them that could have kept
them out.
We do not think the producers of any of these
eighteen articles are complaining of the competition
that has been forced upon them They not being
forced to the wall and until they heard to be-
their fate no one else is authorized to complain
for them.
In view of the prices consumers have been paying
for all of these eighteen articles WITHIN the last
two years hate to think what they would have had
to pay but for this great increase in imports.
We believe thoroughly as the Republican Pub
lcity Association does. the principle of the pro-
tariff when is needed afford to labor, to
producers guaranty of remuneration, but we do
not believe it should be used to reduce the
plies of the cotntry or to contribute to abnormay
high prices

the democratic party cannot take credit for having
forseen that such relief would be needed. We mean
this is the open for the tariff. The

attach to that offense against the game laws.

Shooting Out of Season

We doc not believe that the continual attacks of
the Republican Publicity Association upon the demo-
cratic tariff be very appealing to the American
people this time. There must be- in the first place
some resentment against any effort to nflame the
partisan spirit We think majority Of the people
Of the United States believe that the present tariff
law would have been ruinous to practically every
industry in this country and that were saved from
its ruinous effect only by the which itself af-
tcctive law that could have devised could have
done. In some ways the democratic tariff law has
been helpful in the circumstances which surrounded
MS afterward. But those circumstances could not
have been forcscen 1918 by more acute states
men than the democratic leaders. The democratic
any measure OF helpfuness the law afforded. Those
of us who believe Providence attribute to it
alone the conjunction of the circumstances and the
democratic tariff
The high protectonist. inveighing against free
trade or a low tariff law always points to the in
crease of imports under such law, that is imports
which are brought into competition with domestic
production. In normal circumstances it is a good,
unanswerable argument, but it is not good argument
now There is no such showing to be made as to
manufacturers for in that field, the has left us

between Russian factions, some of them perhaps,

But the chief immediate events of the peace are
