It is true that the government lost in customs duties in the first 33 months under the Underwood Tariff $238,000,000 as com pared with the same period under the Payne Tariff, but that amount of money remained in the pockets of the people of the United States, for even the Republicans have not now the ef frontery to claim that the "foreigner pays the tax." But this loss of customs duties under the Underwood Tariff law is more than offset by the $274,000,000 that the government collected under the income tax provisions of that law. The money not collected by the government from customs duties was saved in a great measure to the ordinary citizens. The revenue col lected as income tax was paid entirely by the well-to-do and •aalthy. The figures given such importance and display by publicans, when shown along with other figures necessarily allied to them, like exports to imports, revenue from tariff duties and revenue from income tax provisions of the tariff law, are unan swerable arguments for the wisdom and success of President Wilson's administration. HOITE'S TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT WILSON He publican'* Praise of President Endorsed by Noted Editor. Joseph II. Choate, ambassador to Great Britain in the McKin ley and Roosevelt administrations., an ex-president of the Ameri can Bar Association, and long a leader of the American bar, and a leading Republican, writing in the Review of Reviews fbr Jan uary, 1915, paid high tribute to Wilson's administration's policies growing out of the war. He said: "If we can maintain our neutrality and keep out of and at the same time prove ourselves friendly to all the nations engaged in it—as 1 thinlwe shall under the wise and prudent con duct of President Wilson—the United States will, I believe, not only be called into consultation by the warring nations, when they are no longer able o keep up the fight, but will practically be able to dictate the terms of peace between them, one of which must, if possible, be an effectual guarantee against any future outbreak of the horrible spirit of militarism which has caused the present war. And I am encouraged in this belief by reading the recent message of President Wilson and the annual reports of the Sec retariesi of War and of the Navy, which, taken together, appear to show a stead last determination on the part of our Federal Government to have us prepared always for effectual self-de fense Of course, the end of this war will see us by far the most powerful nation in the world, and if the petigjr Misled out by the taxpayers." the Re this war A ROTTEN REPUBLICAN SHOW GO.?. Commenting editorially on Mr. —New York Irwiiii World. Secretary Daniels is pursued, we shall perhaps in the fullness of tune become ourselves the mistress of the seas without incurring hostility or attack from any nation, and shall be the great fac tor of preserving universal peace," Choete's letter, the Review of Reviews says: Surely, there is no more approved friend of international peace in our country than the Hon. Joseph H. Choate. Read then, what he writes in this number of the Review on our needs of ef ficient means of national defense He is in a perfect agreement with what President Wilson has set forth in his message to Con gress of December 8. For our part, President Wilson's words seem statesmanlike and noble. They are wholly compatible with strict and efficient attention to the business of getting the best results out of the vast expenditures for army and navy that •I* COUNTRY'S '•FICTITIOUS" PROSPERITY The Central Trust Company of Ilinois, Charles G. Dawes, formerly McKinley's Comptroller of the Currency, President, in its published report for September, reports: For 1915-1916 exports greater imports greater balance of trade in our favor, $219,000,000. Merchant shipping makes new record tonnage of American ships three times that of 1914. Fi nancing by corporations more than doubled. Gross and net earn ings of railroads greatly increased idle cars August 1st* 11,000, against 265,000 a year ago. Frank Carter, Vice-President of the Mercantile Trust Com pany, of St. Louis, says: *One of the best reasons I know for saying that Woodrow Wilson should be re-elected is the unusual condition in banking circles in that there is no attention being paid to the election when extending credits, as has been the case in all previous pres idential years. For a friend in Boston I called up three of the biggest companies in St. Louis to give them a big order in the steel business, and each one told me they had so much on hand it was impossible to take on any new business." John M. Hodges of the Fort Dearborn National Bank, in an article headed "Prosperity to Stay With Us After the War," in the Chicago American, says: "I believe that the railroads will have senger business than they can handle, steaimboats will have more tonnage than ever before, steel, woolen and cotton and saw mills and manufactories will be running night and day, and real estate and building operations will be on the most extensive scale ever known. At the end of the world-war's end every belligerent country will be confronted with the greatest demand for the pro ducts of the soil, loom, mill and factory. They will buy where they can get the goods quickest, and that And steel common stock persists in going up. There is something very like ingratitude in some big business interests opposing the re-election of Wilson just because he does not allow them to dictate the policy of the American government. THE WORLD WAR ITS Al'SE AND ITS MEAN ING By James F. Rogers, of Seim The most gigantic, devastat ing war recorded in the annals of the human race, suddenly broke upon the world in the summer of 1914. Ten hundred million men and women—two thirds of the human family— have been 'drawn into this ti tanic struggle. The few nations that have so far kept out of the conflict have done so only by the most careful diplomacy, based upon a settled determina tion to have no part in this welter of blood. Satanic Mania Gripping the Nations The world is staggering under the terrific blows already re ceived from this war. and the end is not yet in sight. Millions of men have been slain on the blood-drenched battle fields. Other millions have been main ed for life. The great majority were in their prime. Tfeis fright the editor of &r% more freight and pas market is America." ful ruin has filled the world with more sorrowing relatives, -fatherless children, and broken hearted widows than has any other war of its length since the world began. And all the while, the armies continue to increase in numbers, until there are now thirty million men under arms It would seem that the terri ble destruction already wrought would so appal the rulers of the nations invoTvetTthat they would find some way to bring this mad struggle to an end. But it does not. The combatents apparently grow more furious and deter mined as the ruin increases. As one writer says, this war is "like some infernal dream de vised by the imps of hell sitting in an eternity el council." inventive Another says: The rulers of nations are stupid. It would seem that they are blinded by the gods. It is as if madness is upon them, a fatuity incurable a mania, fatal, malignant satan ie." •From Maker to User' Slrtw mt CescrtM by HARRY GANDY BmnnIII H»ll»ll Gandy Introduced u mi krlifi a*r*aa Ik* MImmH rl**r k*lw*m Ckaak*rtala aa4 HIL.L.
