ming. The others were taken in

a barber shop. StaErOs is proUri-
etor of coffee house. The others
are said to have been making
liquor In their homes. Two Of the
stills we're found at 42S Seventh
street and the other at AT Eighth
street.
Have Evidence, Claim.
Police declare they have positive
evidence against the men arrested
The evidence has been collected in
the last two or three weeks with,
out knowledge of any persons be-
sides the police.
Davidson is said to have failed
to pay half of a 500 fine levied
against him sometime ago, on a
charge Of selling liquor.
Most OF the men claim they have
no money for fines; that they turn
ed to the illicit manufacture Of
liquor to raise money. They are
said to have told Chief DeJaegeF
that he would have to feed them.
None of the defendants is consid-
cred "big gun" in Moliue's liquor
traffic For this reason the police
are somewhat disappointed. 1t
seems that the big fellows man-
aged to elude arrest by practicing
eternal vigilance during the gum
shoe campaign conducted by the
police.

favorable trade balance Of S4,767 900,

and in 1910, ($1sS, 000,000) when the
Democratic party secured control of
Congress and began tinkering with
the tariff with its so-calfed 'pop-gun'
schedules.
"To offset these figures Senator
Hitchcock would no doubt quote the
figures from 1914 to 1918, when we
were exporting huge bills of goods to
the Allies, and the years 1922
when Europe was buying heavily

"Mr. Hitchcock would have been
much nearer the truth if he had said
that every shipload of goods that we
keep out by tariff taxes means a ship
load Of American products which can
be disposed Of in the American mar
ket. Since the American market is
worth fifty billions annually to Amer
lean producers, while the foreign
markets will not reach five billions
for some years to come, under nor

tell rs how Germany is stepping =
head by leaps and bounds and how
she win walk away with everything.
In using the German argument they
forgot that they are proving nothing
so far as tariff is concerned. What
they are doing is to make very UNI
pleasant reflection on American bus
mess with Germany during the two
years of 1912, 1918, when Germany
was in her pine and long before the
Great War even started, are the best
proof against the German argument.
During those two years we bought
from Germany goods totaling $780,

"Gee, that's a lot of money to send
there" said Ruth.
'sYes Ruth, but we sold goods to
almost twice as much. Does that look
like protective tariff kills our for
eign trade? Hardly And not only
that but if the free trader wants to
rest on the German argument it is
simple enough to point out to him
that those figures represent two of
the biggest German years before the
war. Germany today needs much
more than she did then and certainly,
while she is getting on her feet
rapidly, is not yet in the same posit-
ion for world trade that she was in
1912 and 1918.
$50 it is all down the line. Italy
and Great Britain both paid US more
money under a protective tariff than
we paid either of them. Sentiment,
blood ties and all that cannot enter
into world trade. We either have or
haven't the goods to sell and we
either must protect our goods and
the men who make the goods or we
will see our markets flooded with
everything from South Africa to the
North Pole. You give Freddie few
of these figures and let him sleep
over them night or two and then
see what he says.

HITCHCOCK AND HIS HoKuM

WASHINGTON. August 22.-By
the citation of official trade stitistics,
the Republican Publicity Association
absolutely disproves the assertion
that .old restrictions on imports can
only lead to DISASTER which asser-
ton was made by Senator Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, at the National Mer-
chandise Fair. held in New York re-
Gently. On the same subject, SEN
ator Hitchcock also declared that
every shipload of goods that we
keep out by tariff taxes means ship
load Of American products which
cannot be sold abroad, and the goods
must pile up as surplus at home.p
Replying to this, the Republican
Publicity Association, through its
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
says:
WAS ever one small paragraph so
repete with tariff buncombe as that?
Prior to the year, and under the pro-
tective policy, the balance Of trade
was in our favor from year to year.
That meant that more shiploads of
goods were sold abroad than were
