War Responsible
For Good Times
Now Prevailing
The Republican Publicity associa
tion through its president, Hon Jona
than Bourne, Jr., gives out the fol-j
lowing statement at its Washington
headquarters:
“Sixty per cent of our export trade
during the first ten months of the Eu
ropean war, August, 1914 to May,
1915, inclusive, consisted of 47 classes
of products absolutely essential to
conduct modern warfare. Our exports
for this period totaled $2,346,000,000
of which these 47 classes made up
$1,360,000,000. During the ten months
war period of August 1915 to May,
1916, these 47 classes made up 66 per
cent of our entire export trade,
amounting to $2,383,600,000 in a total
of $3,601,000,000.
“The Underwood tariff law became
effective October 4, 1913, and it ran
amuck for ten months before the Eur
opean war was declared. During this
period business was batted down into
the lee scuppers, half a billion labor
ers tried to wash down their “new
freedom” with free soup, the wheels
of freight cars became flat from long
standing, and the word “dividend” was
stricken from corporate lexicons. Our
exports totaled $1,952,000,000, of
which the 47 classes under considera
tion made up 32.4 per cent.
“During a similar ten months under
the republican tariff law, October,
everywhere employed, freight cars
1912 to July, 1913, inclusive, labor was
moved across the continent like shut
tle-cocks, the stockholder at the end
of every quarter opened his morning
mail with a smile, and the only thing
to disturb the columns of smoke aris-:
! ing from our mill stacks was an occa
| sional academic draft from the white
house and the pending revision of the ;
! tariff. Exports for this period totaled
| .$2,110,500,000, of which 35 per cent j
| were made up of the 47 classes. Un
der the democratic law we were fall-,
: ing behind in our export trade at the
rate of $16,000,000 a month and at the I
rate of $10,000,000 a month on these j
| 47 classes alone, for which there was!
I then no war demand.
“Our balance of trade had been j
i turning steadily against us before thej
1 war broke out. But the stimulus which
: war orders gave to business gave us a |
i favorable trade balance of $989,000,
! 000 for the first ten months of the
j war, 72 per cent of which was ac-:
counted for by the $730,000,000 in-1
j crease in the exportation of these 47
classes, over the ten months record
j before the war. Our favorable bal
ance of trade for the ten months of;
| war August 1915 to May 1916 was
! .$1,792,000,000, while the increase in
exportation of these 47 classes, for
! this period, over ten months immedi- j
ately preceding the war was $1,752,
000,000, or practically equal to our en
tire favorable trade balance for the
; period named.
I “tv,;0 fko k
if thn nvftcnpritv
i for which the democratic administra
tion takes credit. During the two war
periods, the 47 classes considered
were used by the warring powers to
! feed, clothe, transport, doctor and slay
the soldiery of Europe. Eighty per
cent of our entire export trade was
with belligerents. The huge increase
in our exports <rf the 47 classes estab
i lish beyond a doubt that they are
| properly characterized as munitions
( of war. Where increases have been
; marked in our export trade with other
! countries during the war periods, such
: increases have been due either to the
I facts that we have been the sole base
of supply of these countries, or, as in
the case of Denmark, Norway, Swe- j
den and the Netherlands, they have
been supplying the central powers j
with goods bought from us.
“The republican party contends that j
the war alone, directly or indirectly, j
is the cause of our present prosperi-1
ty; that had there been no war ex-1
ports would have continued to de
crease and imports to increase as they
were doing before the warunder the
democratic tariff policy; that no coun-;
try can find a firm basis for lasting
prosperity on a foreign war; that the
democratic party has made the Euro
pean war the goat for all its failures,
while its prosperity chorus is accom
panied by the roar of European can
non and the wails of the dying.”
Two miners named Olson and
Brown met death Sunday by asphyxi
ation at the Ruby Silver and Silver
Queen mine located near Pavey, on
Lake Bennett. The fatality occurred
at an early hour in the morning and
was the result of the men entering a i
tunnel too soon after the discharge of
a blast.
A miner by the name of Stewart,
while working in the shaft on the
ground of Foster & Hungerford, was
severely injured by a slab of the roof
falling on him. At first it was be
lieved he could not survive the injury
but later reports state that he is on
the way to recovery.

Suffragettes to
Oppose Election
of Mr. Wilson
COLORADO STRINGS,—August
15.—“They are weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting,” was the
message which Mrs. Sara Bard Field,
of San Francisco, gave to the Demo
cratic party here tonight. She spoke
at the conference of the National
Woman’s Party, on the “The Presi
dent and the Suffrage Amendment.”
Mrs. Field attributed to President
Wilson personally the failure of the
Congressional Union for Equal Suf
frage to get what it wanted at the
democratic national convention at
St. Louis. Josephus Daniels, secre
tary of the navy, with Miss Alice
Paul and Miss Anne Martin, she
said, drew up a satisfactory plank,
and the resolutions committee listen
ed “with marked deference.”
“The men said it was the first
time they had ever heard valid ar
guments for granting the suffrage,”
continued Mrs. Field. “They meant
that it was the first time they had
grasped the fact of how many votes
we women hold and what we are go
ing to do with them.
“Then Secretary Baker appeared
with the president’s platform in his
pocket and the president’s instruc
tions in his hand. Both were unfav
orable to us and so was Secretary
Baker. A quietus was put on the
federal suffrage aspirations of Sec
retary Daniels and the rest of the
convention. What the president said,'
'.vent.”
mcicai ici, riciu ham,
wrote and telegraphed the president
offering her services and those of
five other women in the fall cam
paign if he would use his influence
toward the suffrage amendment
pending in congress, and the presi
dent replied in a telegram express
ing the hope that the action of the
convention had been satisfactory.
“I do not wish to be unduly harsh
toward the president,” continued Mrs.
Field, ’’but as a member of the wo
man’s party, considering the suffrage
question alone, I think it nothing
short of unpardonable indifference to
our cause, that, in the face of the gi
gantic struggle which women "have
made; the sleepless nights, the food
less days, the tireless labor; the sac
rificial giving and striving, the presi
dent writes into his platform a plank
opposed to all our views and then he
says he hopes we are satisfied.
“Satisfied with what? With de
feat ? Satisfied with a stone when
we asked for bread ?
“Out of dissatisfaction and discon
tent comes all growth, and from this
dissatisfied body met here tonight
there will come forth a policy of re
buke to a party which gives us a
mere charitable utterance, instead of
just action. Men will give to us,
not because they love us, but only
because we have the power to make
them fear us.”
