Appeal to President to Hold Off New Commer
cial Legislation Is Met by Fluent Flood of
Scholarly Rhetorie; Manufacturers Dazed.
By BOERSIANER.
CHICAGO, Juna 6.-—Those were instructive moments—psy
chologically, not economically—in which President Wilson an
swered the petition of manufacturers and Secretary of State Bryan
addressed the national foreign trade convention.
The President was earnestly besought by three important
manufacturer’s associations to with
held legislation affecting the business
world, save the trade commission bill,
until after a trade commission could
report knowingly on such legislation.
The Secretary of State renewed the
assurances of the Administration's
desire to promote foreign commerce,
Manufacturers submitted facts and
figures; the facts of closed factories,
the figures on the unemployed. Mr.
Wilson's reply was captivating rhet
oric—the perfectly fit diction, the
nicely balanced sentences of the
schooled writer and speaker. He re
plied in the glittering generalities of
the obdurate theorist who is bent
upon fittng a condition to a theory.
He admitted business depression, but
its cause was “merely psychological.”
He urged upon his petitioners the ne
cessity of patriotic co-operation,
All that is necesgary, it would seem,
ig a transition from one psychological
gtate to another—from distrust of the
President’s policy to conficence in it.

ideas of ideals.
Should Be Patriotic,
And they—the manufacturers—
were well reminded that they should
be patriotic., Men engrossed in com
merce and finance automatically for
get duty and country. They think
only of accumulating orders. Patri
otism, notoriously, Is left, to be mo
nopolized by politicians in and out of
office. To vanquish your foreign
competitors in trade vou havé only to
he patriotic. An abolished tariff is of
Mo consequence, Mr. Wilson's appeal
is reminiscent of that other Southern
gentleman who was trying to run a}
corner in cotton a decade ago. The
price of the staple had been advanced
to an altitude when planters began to
“make heavy deliveries. The cornerer
made an eloquent address—on ‘change
—in which he appealed to the patri
otism of the Southerners; asked them
not to impoverish the Sonth by
glumping the price of cotton. How
ever, his eloquence was unavailing
The stern facts of trade prevailed,
Mr. Bryan went a little beyond Mr,
Wilson, in that he distorted facts to
conform with his assertions. He
boldly asserted that the new tariff
had “increased our exchange.” Were
this to be taken textually it would be
correct, “Our exchanges” have in
creased in that imports have in
creased tremendouslv, But In Mr,
Bryvan's meaning it ig a brazen mis
statement. Our foreign trade has al
ready dropped to a level where the
former large balance in our favor is
now in favor of the foreigner. This
is, indeed, a policy—to quote Mr. Bry
an—"which will promote our indus
try at home as well as abroad.”
Shock for Manufacturers.
What must be the conclusions of
the members of the National Foreign
Trade Convention, of the National
Vehicle Association, the Ohio Manu
facturers’ Association and the lllinols
Manufacturers’ Assoclation in heare
ing from the lips of the highly ac
credited such llgggn as were spoken
by Wilson and Bryan? They must
have received a mental shock similar
to that experienced by a Western
banker when the President told him
he was anxious to have the new cur
rency law in operation, that bankers
might the better be able to finance
the vast increase in business which
must issue from the Wilson tariff,

' Some mischlef was done by the
‘Ronsnvr-lt administration,, especlally
in the last twe years of the C'olonel's
incumbency; more was committed by
the Taft regime. At the end of Taft's
term the country was not unlike a big
business concern which requirea a
financial genius of the first order,
firstly to forefend a recelvership and
secondly {o administer the organiza
tlon into a flourishing condition; a
genlus who would be at once a liqui
dator of stale and discarded merchan
dise, a conservator of good will and
assets and a realizer of many excel
lent potentialities.
Instead of that, who and what is
the new administrator? A more or
les®s dangerous dreamer, a dogged, an
fron-jawed theorlst, a dogmatic logic
chopper.
There are radicals who wish simply
to substitute their own kind of ma
chine for the outvoted .nachine.
Though not one of them will accept
the name, these reformers are merely
destructive Utopla makers in firre
sponsible action. Their perceptions
are more critical than the ordinary
conservatives.
Government Evils Recognized.
They perceive there |s something
wrong in the management of the
masges, They have enough imagina
tion to coneceive a different plan. But
they have an unshakable, unremedi
able, unredeemable faith in molds
This routine they don't believe in,
but they belleve in their own. If you
could put the country under their own
“system,” then human affairs would
run automatically for the welfare of
all.
Robesplerre was of this type. A
combination of untoward eircum
stances lifted this provincial school
man, this narrow theqrist, to a com
manding position. He perceived the
invalidity, the rottenness of the old
order; but instead of being construc
tive he went the old order worse by
being infinitely more destructive. As
Carlyle perspicaciously put it, had not
Robesplerre been sent to the conven
tion he had been a rigid autocrat in
his own country town, an uncompro
mising sectarian with a limiting con
science that would admit of nothing
that did not proceed from himself.
Mr. Bryan? A quack economist,
shallow orator, a terribly disillusioned
politician. One sick with hate of all
who have exposed his charlatanry.

Due to New Waterway.
CHICAGO, June 6-—'"The open

Heve, benefit California in the way
of increased immigration from Eu
rope. which is needed out there,” said
President Ripley, of the Santa Fe,
on his return from California yes
terday v
“The one bright spot in President
Wilson's administration is his stand
on the tolls question; that he made a
mistake and was willing to rectify it.
The proposition of allowing American
vessels exemption from. tolls was sil
lv in the first place, and it has gath
ered no sense with time
“Can anybody tell why 75 per cent
of the people of the United States
should be taxed for the benefit of 25
per cent? At heart, California is not
fanatically in favor of tolls exemp
tion The newspapers and the poli
ticlans are making a big ndise for
free tolls, but the sensible men of the
coast are talking the other way."”
Mr. Ripley said the Santa Fe would
earn nore than its 6 per cent divi
dend this year, but that this has been
sccomplished by keeplng down ex
penses rather than by good earnings.
Business, he said, was poor, and lit
tle improvement work was being
done.
The Santa Fe is one of the most
nearly transcontinental of the West
ern roads operating from Chicago to
San Francisco over its own tracks
and a system that would be hit as
hard as any by coast-to-coast water
competition via the Panama Canal,
which, of course, would be aided by
exempting American boats from tolls.

¢ For all Foot Troubles .
Seience has proven that nearly all
foot troubles originate from a com
mon cause; that of injured tissues.
The following information will be
welcomed by thousands of victims of
daily foot torture. No matter how
many patent megdicines you have tried
in vain, this treatment, well known
to foot doctors, will do the work:
“Disgolve two tablespoonfuls of Cal

a total of 409808488 passengers an
aggregate distance of 14,440,992,000
miles and 968,764 tons of freight, a
total of 141,790,227,000 ton miles. Al
most one-half the entire railway traf
fic of the United States for the year
thus was carried without one pas
senger being killed in an accident to
a train,
Highest Since 1909.
This immunity record for the past
fiscal year is the highest since the
banner year of 1909, and comes close
to it, although traffic density, one of
the largest factors affecting the prob
abilities of accidents, was more than
11 per cent greater in the passenger
business and more than 30 per cent
greater in the freight business of the
railways.
~ Four railways reporting to the bu
‘reau, with a combined mileage of
'1.411 miles, have been operated
through ten consecutive years with
out a single passenger being killed in
‘a train accident. A year ago nine
‘rallways. operating 4,379 miles, re
ported entire immunity over ten
years, and one of them, the Lacka
wanna, had a clear record for twelve
consecutive years before the Corning
collision.
In Every State.
In the roll of honor iu 1913 are rail
ways operated in every State of the

‘roads which operate a greater mile
age than that of any of the minor
States of Europe, and four of the
teen minutes, gently rubbing the sore
parts.’' The effects are marvelous.
All pain disappears instantly and the
feet feel simply delightful. Corns and
callouses can be peeled right off. Bun

feet get immediate relief. Use this
treatiment a week and vour foot trou

Get it at once. Any druggist, has
Calocide in stock or will"get it from
his wholesale house. A 25-cent box

something else instead. Calocide is

in the matter of safety the block sy.s
