HOW WILL THE COUNTRY VOTE.
The clamors of 111<* campaign are on, but voters should not
become contused by the noise. Mr. Wilson rests his campaign
upon what he and iiis party have accomplished during their
eont rol.
Furope, for war munitions and war material generally,
has poured billions of dollars in gold into this country.
This gives a raging fever to the country’s business, and a
seeming wonderful prosperity, but this should deceive no one.
The Democratic party points to this and claims the credit of it. „
lint that should deceive no one. —
The question is, how would things have been had affairs ft
remained normal.' gi
Tin* president and his party declare that they have so re- J
vised the tariff as to give to the country the first real industrial ;j:i
freedom that it has enjoyed for sixty years. In passing it is %
good to eon.-ider the fact that during those sixty years the conn
try advanced four hundred per cent in wealth, that its settled '.;j
area more than doubled from being as poor and creditless as j-j
Spain ami Turkey to the very forefront of glorious power. g
Let us consider this “Industrial Freedom” for a moment. •!;
Mr. Wilson speaks of it as something new. When he does he
ignores history. It is but a return to the conditions which his £
part\ established in I''I?. In 1H49 the gold from California
plaei rs began to pour into the lap of the nation. That and the
trade awakened to supply California, held the country up until
I'm!, when there was a sudden collapse and public and the %
- killed artisans of the nation w ere forced for the first time to ;i|
eat the free soup of charity. An investigation followed and it
was found that all the gold had been shipped abroad save $7,- t
000,0110, and all the eastern coast warehouses were stuffed with I
foreign goods.
No effort was made to change legislation until the Demo
cracy went out of power and the great Civil war broke upon the
count ry.
Tin treasury was empty, the credit of the country gone; a
mighty war had to be met.
lu six months the Republicans had reduced the ehoas to
form, met the interest on the bonds that the Democrats had is
sued and the republic was running on an even keel. Again in
lS!i:i the Democracy came into full power, and passed through
the Imuse just such an other tariff measure as the Underwood
law. All that saved the country was that the foremost Demo
cratic sfat“smeii of the land, Mr. (Ionium in the senate, tore the
measure in pieces, revised it to something reasonable and com
pelled the hoit.-e to accept it, at which President Cleveland was
so angry that he would not sign it, but left it to become a law j
by limitation. As it was, the country was so bereft of money I
that in the last year of his administration he was compelled to
sell $:‘r>0,000.000 homls to meet current necessities.
-:o:
PLENTY OF MONEY YET.
The Xew York Sun remarks that money seems still to be
plentiful in England. A Red (’mss fund reached $20,000,000,
and the Kitchener memorial fund is at $1,000,000. The fin
ales - of all the warring countries is a great puzzle to the lay
man. Most of us had it all very carefully calculated in 1014 =
that the war must end in a very few months through an attri
tion of fund’s. But it has been going on steadily and with much
greater expenditure than anybody looked for and none of the
participants is showing serious signs of financial collapse after
nearly two and a half years.
Tipsy fiuanceering, to he sure, is witnessed. Debts are be
coming too vast for twelve figures, patriots have surrendered
their sold and silver and subsist on a paper currency, but still
tin conflict proceeds, with no predictions which one of the bel
ligerents will be first to he cheeked by bankruptcy.
-:o:
The New York sympathetic strike seems to have every
thing exeepi numbers and sympathy. C
-:o:
The menacing New York labor war and' the great specula- —
live mania in Wall Street are two black dangers which beauti
fill language out of the White House cannot deflect.
-:o:—
President Wilson in a speech recently, in which a hot tem
per figured more or less, said that it Hughes is elected the
United States will be drawn into the European war. As if there
were not enough real issues in this campaign without ambling
away into tin* domain of speculative sophistry!
-;o:
Crete is a dashing little body, full of brave men, virile and
ambitious. The revolution that is brewing on the island is tin*
eleventh in a century. Crete’s warfare with Turkish oppression
was determined and able, and presents one of the shining chap
teis of history. The Balkan war ended the sultan’s grip and
Crete became a part of Greece. Venizelos is a Cretan and his
position reflects the hopes that Crete long has had'of reestab
lishing (lie greatness of Greece. They are inimical to King
Constantine. They want a ruler in whose arteries flows a more
perfect Greece idealism.
