Every man, woman, and child added to our addition to production and distribution of those goods and services. It is possible, of course, tiat an addition of, United States during the present decade may not call forth a proportional increase in pro- duction. It may be proportionally less or great- er. That depends upon the change in the stand- ard of living of the people as a whole. If consumption of goods and services per capita should decrease during the present de- cade, the total production of goods and services | would, of course, be less in relation to popula- tion by as much as the decrease in per capita consumption, for we know that the volume of consumption in the final analysis, controls the volume of production. But is consumption per capita likely to de- crease? Is the standard of living as a whole likely to fall? That is a question of funda- mental importance to all business men. What is the answer? . The All-Important Issue It is not necessary to go into the history of parties to show the unwisdom of a low tariff policy, Every man who has lived to old age in! garding tariff legislation. The country was in the throes of hard times under the Walker tariff when the Civil war} broke out in 1861. When the Republicans came into power, a protective tariff was enacted which, as every candid citizen knows, proved of benefit to the, nation. s souls; who would establish an American super- race foundation for the purpose of selecting and educating the superior and very superior beings among us, to raise to the highest degree attainable the biological, educational and moral status of the American people. The proposal is ambitious. It embraces the awakening of all Americans, of caucasian blood, to the importance of racial preservation and rightful supremacy in America. To instruct in all subjects pertaining to preservation and maintenance of race, health, love, marriage, ! transmission and longevity of species, preven: | tion of birth of subnormal or degenerate chil- | dren without violence to the laws of nature, | man or God, to predetermine sex and vocation | of children that each shall find his right place! in life to insure real success and happiness. In brief the ideal is to take the human race in hand and by applying some such rules as} we now apply to the breeding of animals, create jto be nearly worthless. Factories with teeming in thought or act, but must fall in jlaborers whose wages paid for farm products With the blunders already so suc- in time a superior race of men and women. | A serious move has been made and the ideal jwere closed by the action of this measure, and °°Sstully launched in Europe: Many established in a school founded and in operation the whole conntry went into sackcloth and ashes ,"2t"S having made the mistake in Rochester, New York. At the head of it are} scientists and professional men and women of high class and reputation. How the venture will work out is the problem, | those who have undertaken the work, have be- fore them. The well-known human race is a pretty tough | lot. It needs overhauling and much repair to bring it up to a stztus ef respectibility, Grave fears are entertained in many sources that we are deteriorating if not degenerating. They are likening America to Ancient Rome in her luxur- ious days before the fall of the empire. Well- founded or unfounded as this view may be, it is not difficult to secure the off-hand opinion from almost any member of the human family that there is much room for improvement. Therefore it is not our purpose to cast any wet blanket upon the efforts of these pioneers in the field of improvement. We wish them well, and if we cannot remain to observe the result pf their labors, here’s hoping they may have re- sults beyond their fondest dreams. Necessity of Revenue The railroads, in recent months, have made a -great advance in efficiency and service, as . indicated by freight’ car loading. Since the latter part of May they have handled an aver- age of over a million freight cars a week with promptness and dispatch. Their net earnings have steadily improved, with the best showing made by some of the trunk lines whose main rey- enue comes from long-distance hauls. These earnings have come in the face of constant com- petition from well-equipped waterway transpor- tation, both deep sea and inland. To maintain this pare and to add additional facilities ‘is the problem of immediate moment with the rail- roads of the country. The matter which now most concerns the rail- roads is the revision of freight rates and their classification on a scientific basis. There has been a. widespread and insistent demand from the farmers for lower freight rates on agricultural commodities, and this phase of the situation is tangled up in politics. The farm- er sees himself severely handicapped by freight charges, especiatly if he is located a long way from his markets or is unable to ship in full carloads. The railroads, on the other hand, view this matter from the standpoint of revenue and what they can afford to do. If they materially reduce the rates on some classifications or com- modities, they would have to raise them on oth- ers—thus bringing up a brand new set of com- plications—or ‘sustain loss of revenue needed to maintain efficient service. What Is the Answer A ma#er of great significance — one that too many of us neglect to consider in the complex of facts, ideas, emotions and sentiments that form the basis of individual judgment and opinion concerning business conditions throughdut the ‘pation—is the fact that here-in the United States live more than a hundred and ten mit lions of people whose standard of living, as a whole, is today unquestionably the highest of any of the countries of the world. Frut that, in itself, is not the most significant fact. More important, as assurance of continued economic development of the United States, is the fact that the population of this country will undoubtedly for many decades, keep up a re- ja people that had experienced the intense suf- No free-trade tariff law has in any manner benefited the country.

The American Peace Award discovered the jury of award, and the jury of award has The laboring man should be a_ protectionist because such tariff has invariably redounded to the good of his class. Business men are nat- urally protective tariff men because it helps business; also farmers find that when business is good farm products fetch a better price in the open market. Those with memories that run back thirty discovered the author of human peace. His name—shush! shush!— his name is known to but- one mortal, and must not be breathed until next month. Then, with a pomp and circumstance that will astonish tho stars, the name will ‘be blazoned across the face of the uni- verse. Until then, the earth guards within its womb the darling of years call to mind the ravages made by the en- actment of the Wilson low tariff, which came} into being at the beginning of the second Cleve- | land administration. There was no foreign war at the time to negative the evil effects of that measure. Those on farms at the time recall that farm products fell to such low figures as for several years. Not only after the election of William Mc- Kinley, Jr.,‘and the enactment of the Dingley tariff did the shadow of calamity draw aside from our industries and start the wheels of manufacturing rolling once more. All this is a! matter of history and it seems surprising that fering incident upon free-trade would again vote in such a calamitous measure. This they did, however, in 1912, with the elec- tion of Wilson and a free-trade congress. Hard times were again in the offing after protection was cast aside and a semi-free-trade enactment placed upon the statute books. Soon, however, came the crash of arms in Europe, the entrance of all that continent in a death grapple which drew men away from factories and farms and laid the continent open for the products of the United States. That war was better for the industries of America than any possible tariff could have been, hence America prospered as never before, And now, five years after the cessation of hos- tilities, with full blast, under wages much lower. than .are immortality. Like all supreme achievements, the peace plan of the unnamed im. mortal is supremely simple, even to the point of foolishness. It is based upon the,assumption that the United States can not originate anything of accepting a scheme that denies their own equality, and which seeks to perpetuate the. control of the world by a few strong powers, it is now proposed that the United States shall join in the scheme. As an offset to some of the entanglements that would follow, it is proposed that the United States should ex- clude the league of nations from this hemisphere, refuse to accept the principle of force embodied in |, the league covenant, and ask the league to begin to revise and de- velop international law. It should also have been proposed, perhaps, that the league should study inter- national law—but the Unknown could not think of everything. The author of the prize plan, with that finality which comes with supreme wisdom, states that ‘the only possible path to co-operation in which the United States can take an increasing share” is that which leads to the league of nations. And yet in the next paragraph he European industries again going; Heavens! Maybe it is she! cites the accomplishment’ of the: Wash- ington conference as gn example of paid in America without protection this country would be open for a fl of manufactured art- icles from over there which would swamp our manufacturers and farmers. ©; Shall we permit. this flood of foreign-made goods r will it be wise to insist on maintain- ing such a tariff on these goods as will keep too many of them from coming in competition with our own home products? P Another national referendum will be render- ed within a few months to decide this eer ques- tion. With past experiences before him, what will the American voter do? It would séem a very easy matter to answer that query, but it is not so, since a propaganda is going out into co-operation in behalf of world Peace. Can it be that in that exalted atmosphere where the unknown author of human felicity dwells there {s no report or record of the. Washington conference?

One statement offsets the other, and yet ple are supposed.to accept such statements. as gospel truth. This line of argument has some- times won elections, and it may. be counted on to win this year unless the real facts are “placed |before the people in such a light as to convince \them of the falsity of such arguments. ‘America’s: Bulwarks Equal and exact justice to all men, of what- ever state or persuasion, religious of political; peace, commerce, and honest friendship. with all nations—entangling alliandes with none; the support of the state governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns, and the surest’ bul- warks against anti-republican tendencies; the preservation of the general government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad; freedom of religion; freedom of the press; freedom of the person under the-protection of habeas cor- latively fast and steady rate of increase.
