It is a favorite diversion of Dr. K, (Swing Pratt, of the liureaii of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, to brag about our increased trade with certain South American countries and to attribute it t the Department of ( 'ommeree. lie tells the public, for instance, tha our trade with Chile during the first nine months of 1916 amounted to $80,000.(1(11). while it was only $86,000,000 in 1918. Consc.iiently th Department is to be complimented, and Republican policies are all humbug. But Doctor Pratt is another Democrat who hides the shells. A farmer going to town with a load of farm products worth $100, sell ing them, and returning home with f00 worth of store goods, doesn't give much consideration to the fact that he did .150 worth of busi ness during the day. He figures that he received $10(1 for the prod, nets of his toil, bought $60 worth of the products of other men 's toil and salted $50 in the bank, or stuck it under the mattress. Thai e what we should all figure on in our tnde with foreign nations. Tin records show that our business with South America has developed rapidly, but the Latin RepablieM are getting bigger and bigger trad balances against us, and will continue to do so until we return to tin policy of protection. China chalked up a record nine months in her sales to us Iron January to September of this year, aggregating $68,000,000, or $28, 000,000 greater than for the same period in1915, and $38,000,001 greater than for the first nine months of 1913, under the Repnblieaii tariff law. John Chinaman also increased his favorable trade halano from $23,000,000 to $41,000,000. No wonder Chinese laundryine! want the present tariff law to continue. The plan to go home am! make some real money out of us. China is buying most of her cotton goods from Japan, while she increases her hold on the Amerieai market. During the first nine months of 1110 Japan raked down $1.'!!. 000,000 of good American money in her sale of goods to us. compared with $74,000,000 for the same period the year before, or an increase of 77 per cent.

What a i' rd of misfit legislat ion ! IS IT A PRECEDENT? One of the hoi deaf acts of President Wilson in the n lit cam paign was the establishment of what was designated as "Wilson Day,' October 28th.

No public monument! have ever been prected ti living Presidents, and only one Presideii! has had a day ael apart ii his honor after his death. In monarchic it is the custom to observe the birthdays of the rulers as special days for national eelebratioi: Perhaps the designation of "Wilson Day" max- he the beginning o some movement in thia country, but it is greatly to be doubted wlu'th r public opinion will support it.
