The War a Natural Protective Tariff.
Whether we realise It fully or not, the
United States Is at this moment enjoying a pro
tective tariff more effective than any It has eVer
had.
To be more explicit, while Prealdent Wilson
and his democratic congrecs have reduced all
the duties downward and set us on as close to a
free trade basis as they could, the advent of the
war In Europe has put the tariff right bark, not
where it was, but sky-high, with practically pro
hibitive terras. It is not now a question of the
rate of duty to be paid on Importations, but of
the Impossibility of bringing in any foreign
made goods at all. While the low tariff revlalon
undertook to turn over to European importers
the large part of our home market, the war re
stores it to us, and shuts out absolutely the
products of the cheaper paid foreign labor.
The result of all this cannot be different
from what would happen If the tariff were
raised a guarantee of the home market being
all that Is needed to stimulate domestic produc
tion. With foreign supplies shut out, we must
make at home the goods needed for home con
sumption, and In addition will have an un
precedented opportunity to get into other mar
kets where we were formerly at disadvantage.
Our chief commercial rivals have to all intents
and purposes withdrawn from the fields of com
merce and Industry to turn their energies Into
their military movements, and the Interruption
and dpwt ruction of ocean traffic forms an Insu
perable trade barrier between them and us. The
point to be emphasized, therefore, is, although
ostensibly wo have a low tariff law on our stat
ute books, it is utterly Inoperative because the
war constitutes a natural protective tariff up to
tho very highest limit.
Would It Pay?
The Master Butchers' Association of Amer
ica thinks the way to cut down the cost of liv
ing Is to rush city men to the country, and, of
course, this Is quite a popular theory. But the
butchers, no doubt feeling the sting of much
Idle criticism aimed at them, urge the federal
government to engage In the business of helping
the city man to get on the farm by lonnlng him
the necessary money to buy the land and estab
lish himself. Then It would have the return
made In partial payments. Theoretically, It
seems like a fine plan. Whether it would work
out so well is another question. First, the
trouble with every other back-to-the-fami move
ment has been to find the' city man willing to go.
The clamor In that direction, It must be admit
ted, is not deafening. Second, for the city man
with no farm experience the government might
have to aend an expert along to teach him what
to do with the land after he got it. Most of
those who draw' claims under the homestead
laws dispose of the land. Finally, it Is ques
tionable whether we are quite ready for such
an advanced stage of paternalism on the part
of the government.
How Emperor William
Reviews His Troops
Old and New Immigration.
One effect of the European war is sure to be
to stimulate emigration to the United States.
Should hostilities continue long the resultant
economic burdens will be more than many are
able or willing to bear, and those with the spirit
and means of seeking a home In a new land are
apt to be of the best, stock of people. If ante
i'ellum reports are to be believed, there has been
a deep and pemlstent undercurrent ot discontent
among the people of the several nations with
the pro-war policies for years laden down with
taxation and increased cost of living, and now
the climax Is capped with awful war. What is
more natural than that many of these will avail
themselves ot Improved conditions In the United
Ststes? v
It is reasonable to expect, too, that the bulk
of thla Immigration will be of the better grades
of population, largely from northern and west
ern Europe. If so, It will be our gain and Eu
. rope'a loss. No doubt some of our own people,
inclined to an unfavorable view of Immigration
aa a whole, will Jump to the conclusion that any
atlmulus of this sort will simply mean a heavier
influx of so-called undoslrablee." They go on
an assumption which amounts to a deep-seated
popular belief that tha new or latter-day imml
gratton Is of an inferior class compared with
previoua years. Statistics fail to support this
view. While a larger percentage of present-day
immigrants belong to the unskilled labor and
farm hand classes than to the skilled labor and
professional classes, this haa been true for at
least five decades, and the fact is tbe percentage
of unskilled laborera is less now than formerly.
From 1861 to 1870 42.4 per cent of all our
Immlgranta belonged to the unskilled labor
class, In the next decade It was 41.9 per cent,
the next 60.J per cent, next 47 per cent, while
in the last decade, from 1901 to 1910. It was
only 34.8 per cent. Those of agricultural pur
suits have Increased from 17. per cent to 24.3
per cent in the aame period and we Probably
would be better off if the Increase had been
greater. The aervant clasa haa Increased from
7.3 per cent In 181-1870 to 14.1 per cent. Here
again we doubtless would welcome a gain.
As to skilled labor tbe percentages have run
for these five decadea from 24, 23.1 20.4. 20.1
and, finally, 20.3, varying unappreclably. Tbe
professional began with 0.8 per cent and have
gone to 1.5 per cent, the largest ever. In addi
tion to these significant figures, cited from au
thoritative sources. Charles Stelxle, who also
speaks with authority on auch matters, calls to
mind the fact that for aixty years the percentage
of our immigration In proportion to our popula
tion has remained virtually unchanged. Another
immigration wave would, doubtless increase the
proportion, but by an addition to our population
we should be glad to have.
To Whom Ii He Alluding!
Hurling back into the teeth of one of his
critics a fling at his signature on the Bartley
pardon petition, Richard L. Metcalfe, among
other emenltiea ot his campaign for the demo
cratic nomination for governor, says:
The whole state knew there were many men
holding their heads high In aodaty whoae borrow
Ing had helped make Hartley a defaulter. None of
these men paid any penalty, and, eo far aa I knew,
have ever made restitution.
Oh, now, to whom can he be alluding?

Xtescriptloa taken from a letter to The Bee
Soring a tonr of Europe made by the
writer la issl, thla military maneuver
having occurred September 18 of that year.
The traditions of the present German empire rest
mainly upon tho good generalship of Its greatest
rulers and the warlike abilities f Its people. The
unity of Germany ling been secured only with i en
turles of stubborn fiphtlnic by soldleja drilled Into
rigid tlliwipllne. And no one can be long In Rerlln
without having thla military basis of the Imperial gov
ernment vividly Impressed upon his mind. Every
where are monuments to military heroes, bronie
statues of armored kings or leaders, streets and
squares bearing names famoua In the annala ot war.
The military basis of the Prussian etate rounded
by tho Great Elector, came Into full being under
Frederick II. Great In war. he waa almost equally
great In peace, and left many monuments of his activ
ity In both fields. These erre for the moat part con
centrated about Potailam, already before hla time a
royal residence. Though there la a whole cluster of
royal castles In tha neighborhood, aa well aa one In
the center of the city Itself, Puna Boucl Is the most
Interesting of all, and consequently attracts the
greatest attention from visitors. The rooms
ure still maintained aa used by Its early' occu
pants. The apartment formerly assigned to Voltaire
Is richly furnished and the walla decorated with
handsomely painted wood carving. Frederick waa eo
trir Influenced by his leaning toward everything
French that In writing hla own will he preferred that
language to his native tongue. Here, too, la displayed
the Identical clock which the great Frederick was ac
customed to wind ta bo sure 4 very Insignificant look
ing clock whose handa continually remain stationary
at twenty minutes past 2. And the official guide
malntaina a very straight race when he tells the
story how this caoclc suddenly stopped on the very
day, hour and minute that the vlctorloua monarch
dl d, and how to thla day no one haa ventured either
to wind the worka or to move the handa.
William II, the present German emperor, devotes
much of his time to his duties as head of the Im
perial army and personally supervises the annual
parades and manoeuvei. I had heard so much of the
excellence of the German soldiers that an Invitation
to visit friends In Kassel and at the aame time to aee
the Eleventh army corpa waa by no means unwel
come. A hearty reception by Mr. Berllt, ten years
ago a resident of Omaha, did much to make up for the
Inconvenience of a long and dusty ride by rail from
Rerlln. Kassel, In ordinary times a very attractive
city, waa doubly Inviting In Its gala clothes of vari
colored flags, festoons and greens. Uniformed -soldiers
were everywhere. The empress had already ar
rived on Thursday and was Immediately Installed be
hind a military guard In the castle of Wllhelmshoahe,
the same In which Napoleon HI spent several months
of pleasant Imprisonment just a decade ago.
On the evening of the 11th, the main thoroughfares
of Kassel held almost all the Inhabitants and stran
gers In the city, f'lno Illuminations from lamps giv
ing lights of different hues brightened the lively
scene. Every one Bought the best possible position on
the route. Mr. Berllt Is prealdent or the Merchants'
association, one of the societies which drew up In line
to greet the emperor when he should pass, and so for
the time telng, I Imagined myself a temporary mem
brr, took my place in the row and awaited the ap
pointed time. It waa not long after the carriage con
taining tbe empress had hurriedly passed down the
street toward the station that the procession made Its
appearance. Aside from the military escort there waa
little pomp or display. The Imperial couple were
driven In an open carriage. As they approached, hats
alt along the line were uplifted- ana exclamations of
applause burst from the entire crowd. I would say
that the empress appeared to be very good looking
atrtklng but not handsome. Her figure Is of graceful
proportions; her complexion considerably darker than
that of the emperor, who la a pronounced blonde. The
emperor wore a uniform of the Blue Hussars. His
facial features express a decisive firmness more than
any other quaUty. lie has an Intelligent look, but not
exceptionally more Intellectual than other men In pub
lic life. Judging front bla former pictures the acquisi
tion of his yellowish brown beard, though It may
make him appear older, la no Improvement for beauty.
The pilgrimage to the parade grounds began bright
and -early yesterday morning. Cltlsena and soldiers,
carryalls, wagons, carriages, all were mixed In a
promiscuous crowd, hastening In one direction. ' The
road waa long, hot, dusty, but the enterprise ot sev
eral wide-awake vendors afforded the thirsty way
farer an opportunity to Invest In German beer at
numerous points on the Journey. A level plateau had
been laid out for the parade and a- grand stand erected
just opposlto the place of review. The audience as
sembled In good time and the soldiers, too, were
promptly drawn up, but the 8 o'clock appointed for
the arrival of. the Imperial couple was certainly de
layed at Mast a half hour. At last they appeared,
riding at the head of a numeroua attendance and
amid the blasts of trumpets made the circuit of the
troops. The horses then wheeled about and came to
a stand, facing the open apace In front of the tribune
where the review waa to occur. The Imperial couple
were clad In pure white, the emperor in a white uni
form with shining silver cuiraaa and helmet; the
empress In white riding- habit and plumed white hat.
Just here came an Incident not scheduled on the
program. A large, long-eared rabbit suddenly made
hla appearance on tho field. Hemmed In between the
tinea of soldiers on one side and the tribune and
audience on the other, tha frightened animal daehed
several times from one end to the other. To the
amusement of the spectators It ran for a distance of
over a mile the gauntlet of SO.OCS guns; It almost
grased the horaea of the emperor and empress and
finally escaped unscathed and unharmed, except, per
haps, from the tiresome running in its useless flight.
U la not my intention to describe a parade lasting
three hours In detail. The Infantry first marched
past, with machine like pace, and certainly made a
fine appearance with their white trousers, dark blue
coats and glittering helmets. A change In the regi
mental band, which from Its position opposite the em
peror poured forth a continuous military march,
marked the beginning ot each new regiment. The
cavalry, comprising hussars, uhlanen and cuirassiers,
were followed by the artillery. And aa the cannon
rolled by, four pieces abreast, the spectator could easily
have Imagined that the four carriages were being
drawn by one team of horses. I am no Judge of mili
tary training and discipline, but that the audience in
general seemed pleased waa evinced by frequent
bursts of applause, particularly when the cadeta from
the military school made their appearance. I heard
afterwards, however, from a gentleman who was In a
position to know, that the emperor himself waa not
fully satisfied with the display made by the corps.
Whether the annual parades and manoeuvera have
any special significance at the present time It la diffi
cult to aay. Wherever I have been In Germany I
have found that tha people generally anticipate a r
In the near future. They are not anxious for war;
they dread It, yet dread It with a spirit of defiance.
They prefer to have war postponed from year to year
aa long aa possible, but are determined to be prepared
In case It comes. The personal opinion of the emperor
la not definitely known. 1(1 Individual efforts will
have much to do one way or the other with prolonging

fOI-TIl UMAHA, Aug. 11. -To the Kdi
tor of The Bee: I read the resolution
passed by the German-American cltliens
of Omaha; In a great many things that
resolution speaks the truth and causes
some of us to think back, when we had
dark days In this country. I remember
that we needed frlenda, and I know of no
people who wero better friends to this
republic than the German race. We had
them by the thousands, young men came
to thta country and Joined the union
army, and a better soldier waa hard to
find; and a more humane soldier than
the German soldier was never found In
battle. In my opinion. I remember the
days o fthe Alabama there were no Oer
man sailors on that ship of destruction;
but when young Wlnslow took the Kear
sage to sea, there were German sailors
behind the guna. It Is a fact that the
German men freely gave their lives In
the battles of thla republic.

truthseckcrs need not go outside the
records to find Its condemnation; It car
ries within Itself its own condemnation.
Whenever the villainous teachings con
cerning women and girls are called to the
attention of the public there always are
men who make a noise aa though they
were hurt. No man who does not believe
In, practice nor profit by these vicious
commands haa any call to defend them.

It was adopted by the votes of men only
pastors have actively by voice or pen
taught or passively acquiesced tn Its
teachings that the object of woman'e ex
istence is to serve man either as a sex
slave or servant. The writer may or may
not be a feminist whatever that means
but to be called a suffragist is the apex
of injustice. To be called a suffragist Is
to add Insult to Injury.

Question of Irish Loyalty.
OMAHA, Aug. ll.-To the Editor of The
B-e: A correspondent signing himself
John A. McChrlatal, has addressed a let
ter to you. In which he quotes a letter he
claims to have written to Mr. Redmond.
th. leader of the Irish nationalists. I
am very sorry indeed to see one who evi
dently Is an Irishman, seek to arouse
anti-English feeling at this time. I am
sure Mr. Redmond's secretary will con
sign Mr. McChristal's epistle to the waste
basket where it belongs.
There Is nothing so worthy of contempt
as bigotry, and the worse kind of bigotry
la that branded religious or political. The
mind that even harbors the Idea of having
the Irish prove traitors at this time la
indeed perverted. An Insurrection now
would shatter all hopes of home rule. The
British empire would crush any such at
tempt. Perhaps Mr. McChrlatal would prefer to
have the land of his forefathers ruled by
the German imperial government. That
would be magnificent the Irish and Ger
mans get along so lovely.
If the Roman CSatholio portion of Ire
land Is wise, the people will strain every
effort to stand loyally with England dur
ing this crisis. After the clouds have
parted, Ireland's reward will be full en
franchisement a united country free
from the bigotry of Rome on one side and
Protestantism on the other.

portunity to prove its loyalty," and thus
