very effective statement of one result that
would follow if our anti or lowtarff friends, the
importing and exporting interests, could have
their way, was contained in Mr.. Beveridge's adj
dress at Evansville. He said:
ITO open American markets to foreign-made
goods and attempt the capture of European mar
kets by Amercan-made goods means that we will
give our markets to European producers and not
get European markets for American producers.
1t would be like the fable of the dog that lost the
bone he had by trying to seize its reflection in
the water"
In this case the bone is our domestic trade,
which amounts to 90 per cent of our total trade.
The reflection is our foreign trade, which only
amounts to per cent of our annual national
turnover. Being sensible and practical people,
we make use of the tariff to protect our most
vital and substantial trade, knowing that the re-
mainder will take care of itself in natural man.

The Fair Deficit

The detailed statement of the receipts and
expenditures of the Wayne county fair shows
that deficit was incurred. The general inter
est of the farming community responsible
for display far exceeding the expectations of
the committee, and consequently additional
money had to be spent to accommodate the ex-
hibits. The committee might have met this adj
ditional expense by granting concessions to
questionable amusements and recreational fea-
lures, but it wisely and courageousy decided to
keep the fair clean.
In this it has the warm praise of the entire
community. The fair was success not only be-
cause more than $4,000 persons daily attended
it, but also because it was produced on plane
far higher than that found at the ordinary coun-
ty fair.
The committee believes that many persons
who did not have an opportunity to contribute to
financing the enterprise will be glad to help meet
the deficit and that contributors will increase
their subscriptions so that the deficit can be
wiped out.
The campaign which is now under way has
for its purpose the meeting Of deficit incurred
in presenting high-class fair The committee
should receive the whole-hearted support of the
community in its effort to raise the amount.

Foreign Trade Will-o'- the-Wisp

Certain Americans have been vociferously
denouncing the new tariff law because, they
claim, it will interfere with the development. of
our greater participation in foreign trade This
prediction probably is well founded. The ques-
tion of the disnterestedness of these anti or low
tariff Americans is, however, another matter.
Most of them happen to be interested in the i'm
porting and exporting business, in such banks as
are large dealers in international exchange and
in the trans-oceanic shipping business. Their
profits ebb and flow with the shrinkage or in
creases in our exports to and imports from for
cign countries.
Now, foreign trade is just what its name i'm
plies. American goods and products are traded
or exchanged for foreign goods and products.
Such trade is healthy and valuable to American
industry so long as the imports hither consist of
goods and products we cannot ourselves produce,
or can produce in insufficient volume to supply
the total American demand. 1t is unhealthy,
however, when foreign goods and products are
allowed to compete on unfair terms in the Ameri-
market with domestic goods and products
Such competition, as past experience always
has shown and as logical reasoning always can
prove, results in lower domestic prices and wages,
a condition of reduced and unbalanced purchas-
ing power that is bound to end in nationwide
business depression and deprivation among all
classes of people.
A good tariff law prevents this condition by
the imposition of tax on imported goods and
products of the competitive kinds, that compels
selling them at approximately the same price at
which similar American goods and products are
selling. This is what the new tariff law aims to
do. Naturally, if it is effective there will not be
much foreign trade in competitive articles and
the importing and exporting interests will be con-

Q. Why did the coal strike in
crease the price of coal?-A. j.
A. There was no increase in the
cost of producing coal as a result of
the strike or suspension of mining,
either in the bituminous or anthracite
field. On that basis, therefore, there
was no reason why an increase OF
coal prices should be attributed to the
strike The miners have returned TO
work at exactly the same wage scale
that was paid prior to April i. On
the other hand, the freight on coal has
been reduced 10 per cent, and ordl-
narily it would have been expected
that the price of coal to the concumer
would have been reduced in proportion
to the change in railroad rates. Some
coal operators have stated frankly
that they expect to recoup their losses
on coal which was not mined and sold
during the strike period. Others claim
that their overhead expenses went on
during the strike and that 1t is a
matter of business to cover them on
prices now asked for coal. This ad-
ded overhead expense. however, wouli
not account for all the increase that
hes been made in coal prices. The
explanation most generally accepted
is that responsive to the law or sup
DIV and demand, prices are moving
toward the maximum which the public
can and will pay. The action OF the
law OF supply and demand has Deen
accelerated by the bidding for coal
by consumers.
