According to the report for the month of April of the export business done by this country as presented by the department of commerce, there is shown a slight falling off in the vol- ume in comparison with the previous month, which may be due to the fact that April had less business days than the preceding month which could ac- count for the decrease of six and 2 half million, but when the ten months. period ending with April is consid- /ered and it is shown that American THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY. That the taxpayers and voters of the city were interested’ in Monday’s election could mot have been mani- fested in a more certain manner than it was by the large number who came out to give expression to their senti- ments at the polls, and by the election of the entite republican ticket Wiu.l one exception. It was confidently be> lieved that a large vote would mean a republican victory and it did, and for the next two years Norwich will have a republican administration. What can be accomplished when there is a united party and a ticket which manifestly stands for a busi- nesslike conduct of city affairs in all the departments has been demon-. strated and even though the normal majority was but 69, the meaning of that can be fully understood when it is recalled, as recently pointed out in a caucus speech that but three repub- lican mayors have been elected in the past two decades. The people had apparently decided that there should be a change and they supported their opinion by going to the polls and in- sisting upon it. The people have declared their con- fidence in the republican nominees and it now remains for those elected to assume their responsibility and give the best possible aceounting of their stewardship to the people. This duty cannot be lightly assumed, and there s every reason to believe that it will not be. Norwich is anxious to have the best possible -municipal government. It is no more than it is entitled to. It wants efficiency and economy to be manifested in every department of the eity. That is what it elects city offi- cials for and why it entrusts them with the conduct of its business and it is confidently believed that no mis- take has been made in the choice that was' disclosed by the balfots, and that under the coming administration the welfare of ‘the «city will get first con- sideration at all times. TIME TO DO SOMETHING HERE. Even though this government hasn’t seen the need of taking steps which will insure the protection that is needed for the building up of the dye making industry in this country, either through a failure ‘to take the proper look ahead or because of the disregard for the industrial welfare of the nation, no such situation can be charged to Germany. Germany has long been producing most of the dyes that have been manufactured from coal tar products and an idea of the manner in which it views the sit- uation following the war is to be gained from the fact that a billionj dollar corporation had been formed in that country to handle this business, ‘which will mean a monopoly in that line of production. In order to overcome the shortage and aid business temporarily while war conditions are prevailing, capital in this country has been used toalm- ited degree to build up the dye mak- ing industry, but with the recognition of the fact that as sbon as conditions in Germany return to normal it would be impossible to compete with the large establishments in that coun- try whose producing costs are much exports totaled $3,401,000,000 which is an increase of $1,175,300,000 over the like period last year it can be appre- ciated that the demands on this coun- try have not abated and that foreign purchasers are still looking to the United States for a large part of their needs which have to be gotten from outside, That the war is responsible for this is of course apparent. Yet from this increase in foreign trade there ought to be not a small portion of this bus- iness, especially with. the countries which are not involved in the war, which will be retained after peace is declared. ‘What effect the tariff legislation is having upon imports is disclosed by the fact that goods were brought into this country . during - April to an amount greater by $4,200,000 in April than there was in March, and of $217,- 000,000 worth of imports last month there were practically 70 per cent. ‘which entered duty free or almost six and a half per cent. more than a ago. ‘When the administration is striving to increase its revenue and considering the imposing of additional taxes in order to secure the money which is necessary to run the govern- ment, there appears.to be a good les: son in this disclosure. The readjust- ment of the tariff is a matter which cannot be wisely overiooked. EDITORIAL NOTES. Election day is a great day for shattering the optimism of the mi- nority. Even the elements appeared to be anxious to offer an expression on the cutcome of the city election. The man on the corner says: Some of the early tomatoes looks as if they ‘were just recovering from a long spell of sickness.

He is certainly a man who can satisfy the ‘whole people. Great Britain has offered Germany the opportunity to step forward and prove that it managed to escape with gentler treatment than it accorded to the British navy. Those who are taking pride in plead- e ing guilty ‘to insulting the United States flag ought to son through punishment which will give them something to think about. From Chicago comes word to the ef- fect that Justice Charles E. Hughes is growing stronger. He has been mak- ing progress along those lines ever since his name was mentioned for president.

This latter expression like “to_throw overboard”—to get rid of something— is obyiously nautical; but few people ow that “sky-scrapers” was origin- ally sailors’ slang. “Close quarters” is another very expression. This, like “first rate” and its accompanying expres- sions, “second rate,” “third rate,” and g0 on, comes from the days of wood- ships.
