Three or four years ago, the importing inter ests of the country, the academic free traders and the Democrats, sensing Republican victory at the polls in the ensuing elections, and know ing that the corallary of such victory would be the restoration of the protective tariff policy, opened up a new line of argument known as the “goods instead of gold appeal. It was to the ef fect that rope was now in debt to the United States that the industrial nations o! that continent could liquidate the debts only in goods. Therefore, to enact a protective tariff which would restrict the flow of these goods into this country, and thus mitigate the pressure of European competition, would be national sel fishness of the blackest sort. Following election victories this sort of argu ment grew in intensity, the Republicans con tenting themselves with the reply that they hed no thought of enacting a prohibitive tariff law, but they would carry out the platform promis: of 1920 wherein “the Republican party reaffirm: its belief in the protective principle and pledges itself to a revision of the tariff as soon as con- ditions shall make it necessary for the preser- vation of the home market for American labor, agriculture and industry.” Inasmuch as the calendar year 1920 brought to our ports of entry $5,278,000,000 worth of foreign products thirty four per cent of which were foodstuffs, Repub licans, after organizing congress, went to work at once on the emergency tariff bill, vetoed by President Wilson in the preceding congress, and on May 21, full protection to farm products was assured. The pressure on the agricultural producers having thus been relieved, the Republicans were in a position to undertake the general tariff re vision, more studiously, deliberately and sci entifically. But the “goods instead of gold” refrain increased in intensity as debate went on. and dire were the predictions of the opponents of protection as to what the Fordney-McCumber law would do to Europe and this country. Let us look at the effect on Europe, comparing the first full year of the Fordney-McCumber law October 1, 18 , 1923, with the corresponding period 2 under the Demo ic tariff law; expressed in millions of dol- lars we find that imports from Belgium increas ed from forty-six to sixty-seven; from Czecho. slavokia, fourteen to sixteen; France one hun dred thirty-seven to one hundred forty-nine; Germany, one hundred four to one hundred fifty twe; Italy fiftymine to eighty-seven; Nether lands fifty-seven to seventy-seven; Norway twelve to twenty; Spain twenty-eight to thirty two; Sweden twenty-seven to forty-two; and the United. Kingdom three hundred twelve to four hundred twenty-five. Imports from all the coun tries of Europe increased from $892,794,000 to 000 or nearly thirty per cent under the Republican law. Our imports from Eur dur. ing the first full ar of the old Democratic law, October, 1913, to September, 1914, totalled - 000,000. Thus while our populaation has increas- ed a trifle over ten yer cent, our imports from under a protective tariff law have in- thirty-nine per cent within the decade if it is desired to carry the comparison imports from all the world ha increased from $1,875,000,000 to 5,000,000, or one hundred four per cent. The other argument was that the less Europe sold to us, the less she would buy from us, from which we might reasonably have concluded that the more she sold to us the more she would buy from us, yet exports to that continent have fal len somewhat, although they have gained greatly in every other grand division. The Democrats and their supporters were wrong on the -tariff on all counts. The Republicans were, are, and will be right. A Neighbor's View Review And little farther, The Riverton the. captions Aa “Queer World,” thus spc f our efforts to raise a community chest fund for charitable pur poses and the support of worthy or ions: “Casper is trying to raise $54,000 for a Com munity Chest, composite roll to for charitable purposes in the ci one-half the amount has been raised it’s only a few dollars for each inha oil city. “Casper men have spent that much within a few months to see prize fights and wrestling dispensed ir about ilthough itant of the matches, to play golf and shoot ducks, etc, Cas per ‘women, as a who.e, pay out more than that for caady, perfumes, pet dogs and costly knick- knacks. “We are a peace-loving folk. Likewise we are a luxury-loving bunch. Also, we are a negligent, forgetful, thoughtless, cold-hearted human fam- ily when we are asked to spend of our much that folks who are really deserving and have so lite may actually be kept from starva- tion, privation and criminal paths.” We do not know from what source the Review obtained its information, either with reference to the chest fund or respecting the amounts spent for prize fights, cosmetics and other things ,but as a matter of fact the Community Chest fund was put away over the required amount, $54,000 in exactly three days. The last dof it was 000 and several contributions have been received since. So, whatever Casper people may spend on prize fights and other amusements, and face powder and rouge, they are not uncharitable. If the able editor would take his pencil in hand and direct his attention to the charities, amusements and war paint of the people of Riv- erton, we are of the opinion that he would find the conditions in that city comparative with those of Casper, population considered. Riverton men and women are charitable and look after the unfortunates and all worthy ob- jects needing support, the men go to prize fights on occasion, even those held in Casper. And we are creditably informed that toilet supplies, in- cluding face power and lip sticks are sold at Riverton drug stores. Who buys these things, we o not know, but from casual observation ladies registering from Riverton at the hotels in this city have every appearance of patrons of bean- ty shops and devotees of beautifiers purchasable | n drug stores. Please do not twit us either about our charit ible efforts or about the amount of powder and nt consumed by our women. We think we are toing nobly in both directions. A Home Estimate The Boston Transcript is of course a staunch supporter of President Coolidge and among its recent utterances, with reference to him it says he following, on the president’s position on the tax issue: “If the matter of a general reduction of taxes s the paramount, that is, the greatest, issue be fore the American people today, as President Coolidge truly says it is, the people have the \ssurance that in Mr. Coolidge himself they have 1 commander-in-chief of their governmental af fairs whose major quality is sound sense joined with firm determination. In a clear and busi ness-like mind like his, the matter which he rec- ognizes as of supreme public importance bound to take the first place and keep it. Of that the people are assured today in his remark rble budget message. Lesser questions take a back seat in such a mind, just as all subordinate is It Happened Matters and Things, Kramer’s Good Wor!

These Springs have teen the mecca toward which the In dians hove made their pilgrimager trom time immemorial and Yellow Calf, in his old age, clings to them with the fond faith and hope that his fathers always felt. Few r men living today have traveled more jely throughout the United States and have met more men tn high sta tions than has Yellow Calf. Of fine physique, with that certain dignity and reserve that belongs to the In questions, all party polities, all personal lean- ngs, dropped out of sight when, as governor of Massachusetts, Mr. Coolidge had the Boston po- lice strike to deal with. And just as the asser- tion of plain American honesty and the main- cenance of the public's essential right proved in that exigency to be the best policy, so will the president’s determination prove to be the best political programme that any party can put forth today. The president’s words are as plain as a pike- staff: “ ‘We have now reached a point in our finan- ‘ial programme where we can lighten the tax burden of the people, which is an added reason for taking a firm stand against any and all pro- grammes of spending that would tend to absorb the expected margin between receipts and expen- litures.’ “This is the logic of the ledger. It is the hard pan of the national situation. And there can be uo question at all about the ‘firm stand’ that will be made on it. Mr, Coolidge has the ‘follow- up’ characteristic. Not one citizen, of any party or of any leaning, can doubt after reading this budget message, that the president’s mind is made up. And the more the people read and pon- der the message, the more clearly they are likely to see that his mind is made up in their inter- est. Certainly his subordinates in the govern- ment will have no option except to carry out the programme he has so positively indicated, ‘and the houses of congress will do well to embody in legislation and in appropriations his entire- ly definite recommendations.” Where Do They Go? In the news of the day nothing is perused with more interest than the mysterious disap- pearance. Young women, we learn, disappear from the large cities almost every day, and in a fair pro- portion of the cases are never heard of again. What becomes of them? The obvious answer is to say that they are engulfed in the pools of my, decoyed by villains, or entrapped by the es dear to the heart of the story teller. Happily, this easy hypothesis is rarely a true one. Sometimes indeed, it is so far from evil that a romance might delight in it for the happiness of its ending. Here modern psychology helps us immensely. We realize how much the young w man of our day counts upon secrecy-as a privil- ege of her freedom. To run to mother because a dog has barked at her is no longer an instinct. Rather she would read up the article on hydro- phobia in the pharmacopoeia and study law which determines the damages. So we must not be surprised when we hear that some at any rate, of those who disappear, do so in order that they may get married. It may be that they are at work and conribute to the maintenance of the old home, that stern op- position, would be offered to any disturbance of this comfortable arrangement. To avoid the fam- y argument, which might wax noisy, they pack, or do not pack up their belongings and hie them to an office where a discernful young man is raiting to make their weekly contributions his own. They are married and go to another town, and while the bridegroom may be known there, noth- ing is easier than to hide the identity of the bride. For who would suspect that the charm- ing Mrs. XYZ is the girl whose portrait has been in all the newspapers and who is i sought by detectives? errr dian alone, and with inscrutable countenance of a man _ whose thought are ever on the traditions of the past greatness of his people he attracts attent'on wherever hr goes.
