NO INDUSTRIAL DEFENSE.
The tariff question rises to plague the Democratic party!
from every angle. Because tin* party will not bring itself to
employ the great defensive agency of protection, the revenuesj
are deficient, overburdened taxpayers are kicking against new
impositions, and the country is to be left at the mercy of for
eign cheap labor competition. This is at a time w hen every nn !
tion in Europe is strengthening its industrial defenses; when
(treat Britain turns to the tariff in preparation for the desper
ate trade competition that is coming. j*
There need be no fear of such compacts as that drawn up
by the allies at Baris, constituting what they fondly regard as |
a trade alliance against Germany and Austria a boycott of the
commerce of those countries. When the belligerents in 1 his
war agree to consider a basis of peace, they will thrust aside all
such agreements on both sides. Necessarily there can be no
peace unless there is a mutual agreement to restore friendly re
lations; and there can be no friendly relations if one side or the (
other is preparing to strangle the commerce of it- late enemy.
This would he nothing else than a continuance of the war by1
employing commercial instead of military weapons. The pres
ent war is being fought for commercial advantage as much as
anything else; and when the enemies become friends there must '
he an end to commercial warfare waged by governments. < >tln*r
wise the nations cannot become friends again.
But there will be keener rivalry than ever, and prepain
(ions are being made for il by every nation except the Baited
States. For some inexplicable reason the party in power has
taken no precaution to protect the huge American market for
the benefit of tin* American people. When the present session j
of congress adjourns the spectacle will be presented of this na
tion arming itself against war and at the same time opening it- !
gates to commercial rivals. National defense has stopped short
of defending Americans in their daily work. The American
market is practically as free to possible enemies as it is to Am n
icaiis themselves. Instead of collecting revenue from a protec
five tariff which would defend American industry and labor
against foreign invasion, congress is providing revenue bv in
creasing the burden of Americans and letting foreigners come
into t his market without charge.
This is not the policy pursued by any other enlightened na
tion, belligerent or neutral. All other nations arc looking to the
protection of their own people.
SUN VS. STARS AND STRIPES.
The New York Journal of Commerce calls attention to the ‘
fact that there was a notable increase in the value of shipments
made under the I'nited States flag, June, 191(1, over June, 191b.
Permit us to call attention to the fact that since the seamen’s!
law, passed by the last Democratic congress, swept American
ships from the Pacific w aters, Japan is gleaning a large amount
of that freight business. In 191(1 we exported to Japan $.•>,
(1(10,(100 worth of goods, but she carried out $14!>,000,000 w.>.',.,
of our exports. \Ye imported from Japan during that year
$14S,000,000 worth of her merchandise, but she brou I 1 ■
000,000 worth of freight to ns. She was picking up the trad •
we had lost along the way. In 1910 we exported $5S,00<),()()()
worth of peace products to Japan, and she took away from our
ports $27,000,000 worth in her own vessels. Me imported from
her $92,000,000 worth of her products, and she brought to us in
her vessels $.7^,000,000 worth. With the free trade law and th y
seamen’s law working hand in hand, it looks as if Japan had us
coming and going, doesn’t it? Today Japan controls one half
the tonnage of the western ocean.
A great many foreign ships are “under the 1 nited Stab s
flag” todav for the same reason that an American in Mexico
wears a British or (iermau flag — “we’re neutral.” It is bet
ter to be safe than be sorry. But those ships certainly have no
intention of remaining under our flag after the war is'over
not under present conditions. j
Japan is subsidizing her lines, and she now has several run
ning to both coasts of South America. The Democratic scheme :
is to invest $50,000,000 of the people’s mone\ in ships to be
manned by “deserving Democrats,” selected by son in law Me
Adoo, operated with that dispatch with which the Democrats
pass appropriation bills, kept with that neatness to he observed
in our filth spattered national capital, and the accounts ha I
anced with that finesse shown by MeAdbo in rendering his
laily “net balance.” That will build up a sweet merchant nia
rine for the Star Spangled Banner to wave over! But w hat can
he expected of a party that doesn’t know business from bilge
water?
-:o:
Bv the way, speaking of customs duties, whatever became
of the port duties collected by the l nited States at Vera Cruz
when tile Mexican custom house at that place was taken over?
Di<l son-in law McAdoo incorporate them in his notorious net
balance? Carranza is after a loan. Why don’t we give him the
money we collected at Vera Cruz, or send him a consignment
of ammunition to square the account ?
