TARIFF CONDITIONS LITTLE CHANGED

IN recent report to the House Committee on Ways
and Means the United States Tariff Commission re-
ports after a study Of The wool manufacturing industry
Of Great Britain, that the influence Of the operatives
In Great Britain and America might intervene to counter
act in part the ADVANTAGE Great Britain has through the
lower wage rates
But such does not appear to be the actual situation
After study OF the situation in 1919 the Tariff Board
reeraes lis statement made in 1911 reading as follows
1T appears that this particular Industry wool manu-
facture Is In which the high elements OF costs in
ths country particularly labor are not in general on
set by any particular advantage or by any market SUI
periority in the efficiency OF labor To certain extent
fact European countries have The advantage of us in
this regard In the cenlers Of industry abroad there is
an adequate supply Of labor which has been trained for
generations in this one industry"
II is also stated that the labor employed in the United
States is 10 a large extent unskllled
This same situation will be found TO exist with regard
10 our competitive industries other kinds in other coun
tries. In Germany for example, wages have been and
are now not only lower but Germany has the advantage
Of far greater skin in such industries as cutlery optical
Instruments. and dye sluns
The skin that has been developed lhroush generations
OF occupation In these Industries can not be counter
balanced by greater efficiency secured by the payment
OF higher wages in the United States. The greater ef-
nciency is with the more experienced workers
II is manifest therefore, That American industry will
require restoration Of the protective lar II we are to
be permanently assured Of the maintenance OF the higher
wage scale and The higher standard OF living.

xxT HAT is the real for tho high price Of silver
w Tic explanation according TO the London CORE
pondeni OF the Bankers Trust Company is to be found
in a variety OF reasons.
First there is lessened production. For four years
preceding the the worlds output Of silver per year
averaged 25520OO In the next four years It
averaged only i7sO75OOO the output for 1919
probably not in excess Of that The Mexican
situation has been chiefly responsible for The world
drop in silver production.
Mexican mines were producing approximately 7iOOO-
600 ounces per year up to 1911 Since then owing to
internal conditions. the Mexican output has averaged
only about 100000 ounces a year. During the war
period therefore when expenditure abnormal and
the need for currency greatest the world had
TO struggle along with less than It's normal new supply
Of silver
Next came the increased demand, particularly from
India and China countries which silver coinage has
the greatest circulation The demand from India for sill
YER became inssteni with The outbreak OF the war In
three yearsfrom 1916 TO i99-ndia absorbed 10000
900 ounces, quantity almost equal to the worlds out
put during that period
In 1918 alone lnda's requirements estimated TO
have totaed is2OOOOOO China sold silver in the
worlds markets during the FIRST three years OF the war
but in 1918 became heavy buyer and the recent Chinese
demand for the metal has been dominant factor in The
market Silver Imports to China during 1919 reckoned
TO nave equacd lndias absorption OF s2000O0O ounces
In the preceding year. In other words China bought
silver equivalent TO the output Of The entire world
The year China and India are stn heavy buyers
The fan in British exchanse has another factor
influencing the rise in silver on the London market
America is now the chief source OF The worlds silver
supply and payment ultimately has to be made for most
of the worlds new silver The basis Of the dollar rate

NcoMPErENcE IN POWER.

A PEW days ago in effort TO further his candidacy
IA for the presidency w g. McAdoo said that he
thought the Secretary OF Agriculture should be a man
who understood actual farming conditions
Almost Immediately thereafter The President appointed
10 the Interstate Commerce Commission two men who
had had days experience In transportation prob
lems-One OF them professor OF politics and the other
worker in stone President Wilson evidently has small
regard for the judgment OF his son-in-aw
It must be admitted however, that Mr. McAdoos state
mens was susceptible Of several interpretations
To have a knowledge Of actual farm conditions"
might mean any one OF various ihings
To have knowledge OF actual farm conditions far
different from having knowledge Of actual farming The
latter must be learned by practical experience the former
could be learned from books
Quite likely the professor OF political economy and the
stone worker have knowledge OF ranspora-
ton conditions. Very likely they have ridden on the
trains more less frequently within the past Two or
three years and know the deplorable conditions into
which transportation brought during the period OF
Government control
II that is what Mr.. McAdoo by.a knowledge OF
sexual conditions president Wilson has followed the Nc
Adoo policy in appointing to the Interstate Com

Fead equipment railroad rates safety appliances and the

FRENcH's FRIEND MURDERED

DUBLIN, July 30.-Frank Brooks, wealthy country gentleman, close friend of Viscount French, lord lieu tenant, and member of a committed on Irish reconstruction appointed last year by the viceroy, was assas- sinated today
 MT. Brooke was killed in the direc- tors room of the Dublin and South eastern railway, where he had gone to attend a meeting of the board of directors. Three assassins fired at Brooke W hile he was talking with au- other Director. One shot entered Brooke's lungs and he died immetli ately. Brooke had no time to use nis !evoiver. The assailants escaped.
 Mir. Brooke held large commercial and agricultural interests.
 One reason assigned for the shoot ing of Mr. Brooke is his association ton, member of parliament for East Wicklow, was sentenced to three months Imprisonment early in the year on a charge of threatening Wis count French and coupling MT. Brooke's name with that of the lord lieutenant
 Another suggestion is that inc shooting was in 'reprisal for dismiss sal of railroad men for refusing to operate trains carrying police and soldiers.
 MT. Brooke in political quarters had been conspicuous orly during the last TWO months as the confidential
