Governor Smith, of New York,

The present Tamany Mayor, Hy-

DEMOCRACY NOT DEAD.

Talk of a new party to take
the place of the Democratic party
is bosh, pure and simple. We
know a lot of yallar-dog Demo-
Gratis who would go over bodily
to the G. o. P. before they would
follow some new.fangled hyph-
enate lead by W. ]. Bryan or
some other traitor in the recent
battle of the ballots McAdoo
said truly the other day:
What the country imperative.
ly needs now is subsistence Of the
passions and hatred ehgendered
by the war and the partisan poll
teal appeals that followed. The
country is sick of political sland-
ers and controversies Il wants
domestic as we'll as international
peace, and it wants restoration
of that fine spirit of cooperation
which made America invincible
in war. We face domestic and
international problems of great
gravity. The only way to solve
them is thru cooperation. The
highest duty of the leaders of
both parties is, therefore, to pro-
mote better feeling among all
classes of our people, to refrain
from unworthy appeals to class
and racial prejudices and to
bring to bear upon our serious
problems that dispassiUnate and
intelligent consideration, thru
which alone there is promise of
genuine public service.
The Democratic party has
a severe but not disastrous de-
feat. 1t is far from dead; it is
not even seriously wounded.
Turnout our history over
whelming political reverses have
been followed by extraordinary
political recoveries. So long as
the Democratic party is true to
its mission of service to the COM
mon people it will live. What
we must do now is to build up
and strengthen the party organ
ization, not in the interest of any
individual or group or faction,
but for the course of Democracy
itself, and above all, for service
of country"

Big German Dye Production
Fails to Bring Relief Here
Rehabilitation Of Fur
Trade Believed Near

Rehabilitation of the fur trade
is in evidence, according to
Harry Eisenbach, of Eisenbach
brothers & Co., dealers in raw
and dressed skins.
Although at a terrific cost"
he said, "a general housecleaning
has taken place in the trade. The
unscrupulous spectators who
were responsible for the condi-
ton in which the trade was
placed have been largely elimi-
mated and the trade gradually is
getting back to normal. There
was never a doubt that furs
would remain in fashion. It was
simply the abnormal driving up
of prices that kept the consumer
from buying. Irasmuch as prices
are now beginning to be again
within reason, the actual buying
of skins for real consumption and
not for speculative purposes
easily proves the desire of the
pubic at large to own furs."

Urged to Protect Wages
Business Men Told to Let Liv.
ing Costs Drop

Protect wage scales as far as bal
ance sheets will permit, but allow the
cost of living to go down first, is the
ADVICE to business men in the present
declining price situation, given by M.
Il. Howell, of the Chase National Bank.
The greatest relief when the end
Of prosperity period brings shrink
Ing profits" he says, sis partly to be
found in the shrinking prices of raw
materials. 1t is partly to be found in
the reduction in the labor force. This
last recourse, however, is not one
which should be pursued far unless it
is forced since a general policy of
this sort involves an intensihcation Of
depression. Moreover, business men
should, and generally do, recognize
heavy responsibility to labor to kee
unemployment at the minimum pos
sible, and the value of keeping the
good will of labor by doing everything
possible to keep things going can hard
~ be overestimated. The better policy
Wherever possible, Is to meet the de-
cHning market by making prices at
: which goods viii move. and at which
the business can continue active, and
% Offset the lower prices by increased
eflclency all along the line. There is
an immense slack in efficiency at the
crest of most periods Of prosperity.
MIR. Howell has set forth his argu-
ments along this line in the October
issue OF The Credit Monthly, official
organ of the National Association OF
Credit Men

and retail stores seem to be in practi-
cally unanimous agreement as the fall

Increase So Far Has Been
in the Direction of CoIors
Already Made i'm u. S.:
New Plans Are Discussed

Increased production by the German
Sve industry is in the direction of
colors that are already made in this
country and is not giving the expected
relief to American dye consumers in
need of vat colors that are as yet not
produced in large quantities by Amer-
ran dye makers. Also it promises to
rive competition 20 the newly estab-
lished American dye industry.
This is the substance of report Just
issued by E. S. Chaplin, Paris represen-
.atve Of the Textile alliance, Inc,
which is handling the importation of
German colors through arrangements
made by the government with the
Repsrstion Commission in Paris and
the German dye cartel, through options
secured by Dr.. Charles Herty last
year. In his report Mr.. Chaplin init
mates that some new proposal will be
made to the Germans in an effort to
secure more of the dyes that are
needed in this country.
''The large German production of
dyes Of the same type as are being
made in the United States" he said,
sis evidence of the necessity of spe-
cia protection for the American in
dustry. The relatively small German
proGuctNN OF dyes or the Herty option
type explains the 23 per cent of the
first six months ALLEGATION orders still
to be delivered
The question naturally arises
whether the Germans cannot produce
more OF the special colors desired by
the United States. The arrangement
which is being considered by the
Reparation Commission aims to effect
this purpose. The Germans do not like
the necessity of putting aside 25 per
cent Of every color which they make
during the month for the Allies, and
especially dislike the necessity Of hold
ing this q Per cent against future
orders, mors or less probiematical.
"Accordingiy the Germans are in
clincd to consider s permanent propo-
sition which VIII % away with the
necessity ri t-er ru-ting aside Is per
cent IF tair daily production. The
future of Supply Of German colors
70 the Cnitel states is linked up with
this permanent proposal According to
all indications when I left Europe it
seemed almost certain th;.t the per
manent propose, ~e.il De adopted in
