FINANCE AND THE TARIFF.

1t would be interesting IL the in
crease in call money rates which ac-
companied Thursdays tariff payments
in New York could be regarded as
an instance of retributive justice, The
ultimate purchasers of the goods then
brought into the American market
would take some comfort If they
thought that the importers will not
be- able 10 pocket all of the difference
bftween the old tariff charges under
which payments were made and the
new charges, whose operation was
forestalled.
% But the jump in call money rates
was from only four and one-half 10
six percent---an uncomfortable ex-
pense when calculated for sixty or
ninety days---while the prospective
profits from lodging the new tariff
are very real. The incident, how
ever. showed that on occasion the
law of supply and demand in the
money market can offer consolation
to the public. What now remains is
for international finance also to show
whether 1t can strain It's principles
so as 10 permit America always to
export more goods than 1t imports
| One can only suppose that this is i'm
possible. Neither call money non

laws of trade. Just az a sudden flow

AN AGGRESSIVE" CAMPAIGN.


AN AGGRESSIVE" CAMPAIGN.
Republican party leaders, including
Senators Ball and du Pont Represen-
tative Layton and ex-senator Henry
h. du Pont, assembled In conclave at
Republican headquarters in this city.
Wednesday afternoon, and after con-
sultation determined to conduct an
aggressive" campaign In Delaware
from now until the day of election.
The meeting being private, 1t is not
possible to get a report OF what was
said there, which is n matter of regret,
as much must have been uttered that
would have made interesting reading
For It ir not possible the rcal polti-
cal situation in this state-the Re-
publican apathy. the Republican dis
gust. and the bitter contentious of
the Republican factions-failed TO re-
ceive due attention. It may be set
down as a fact, therefore, that the an
nounced program Of an aggressive"
campaign Is mere camoufage. thrown
out for the purpose OF concealing II
possible. the details Of very dis
tressins Republican situation, one
that threatens certain defeat on cleo
ton day.
Naturally, there will be much curl
osity as to what may be the features
of the proposed aggressive" cam
paign. There will be meetings, Of
course. with plenty OF music. for the
Republican party chest VIII be kept
we'll filled with money for meeting
all the costs Of campaign work. There
will be a small army Of paid workers,
anxious to earn all they can In en-
deavorins TO draw reluctant Repub-
licans to the registration places on
the ANAL day for registering. and 70
get out the vote on election day. And
there will be special efforts to induce
the thousands Of disgusted Repubn-
cans who have no desire for party
hi ~ a..
minds and vote-cspecially TO vote
the straight Republican ticket.
But what will the speakers say iu
their arguments to such voters as
may be induced to listen to them
There is nothing inspiring in the rec
ord of the Republican national nd
ministration. There is nothing ever
sreditable in the records OF local Re.
publican administration - extrava.
gance. inefiiciency. increased taxes
and the filing fee imposition. These
cannot be ignored, and Republican
speakers can say nothing good abou
them.
And so there is every reason TO be
Iieve this aggressive" Republican
campaign Will be failure. II will
have no sound basis OF appeal TO tn,
people for their votes. Only on thu
ground of loyal devotion TO the memor,
OF the Grand Old Party" can they asl
the people Of Delaware for indorse
ment and continuation Of the Re
publican party in power in this State
And this Will not be sufficient 10 coun

tates or inheritsnces. or whether new
sources OF revenue shall DO tapped.
Members of the Republican admin
istration are fearful of the results OF
tho predicament in which they find
themselves in the midst Of the Con-
gressional campaign. They have con-
ceAled from the public a. long
AZ they could the remedy which
is necessary to cure the evil.
Now they are forced to con-
fess that instead OF a comfortable
margin of receipts over expenditures
there will be 4 huge excess of outgo
over income. This disclosure skaters
all their claims OF Savings" and
economies" which they invented for
use in the present campaign.
Republican orators and. other de-
tenders Of the Harding administration
arc now deprived of one OF the arsu-
ments upon which they put their
greatest dependence. The truth is
out, and instead Of making n boast Of
the fictitious surplus they will have
to make excuses for tho very real and
very serious deficit.
All this is bad enough, but It Ii by
no means the worst. New taxes will
have to be levied or present taxes
increased. with the result and the SEN
sation just the Same 10 the taxpayer
in either case. Moreover, the old Tight
over the excess profit taxes, the high
surfaces and the sales tax will he re-
newed to the great discontinue Of the
Harding administration and the Re
publican Congress.
II Republican mismanasement of
the government finances requires
the imposition Of new or additional
taxes. the Democrats In Congress will
demand that the levy on excess profits
he restored and the rates collected
on the incomes OF the very wealthy
he augmented. The Republicans will
oppose this plan, because the billion
aires, individuals and corporations,
that are supporting the Republican
party and its candidates will object
to il. Repeal of the excess profits
taxes and reduction Of the higher sur
taxes were part Of the price paid by
the Republican administration for the
assistance OF these billionaires.

try upon them, and the minds OF the
people enlightened as TO what hap
pcned In 1921 with regard to the IA

from sharing any OF tho new burden
and 20 make the small taxpayer beal
it all. II is that ordeal tho pseudo
leaders in Congress foresee they viii
have to undergo again.
All together, the Republican admin
istration's false pretence OF savings
economies and surplus has turned ou
TO bs a painful fabrication, both 10,
it and the country. II the truth HAD
been told and faced last spring, Con
