When Wilson tan for governor he
was a new man, fur whom any
thing and everything could be
promised; and of course he polled
a big vote. In 11*12 New Jersey
had come to know Wilson and
Vt.'t'O of the men who had voted
for him two years earlier refused
to travel further with him, des
pite a specious plea of stale pride
and all the other political bunk
with which a candidate seeks home
*upport. In 11*16, reckoning at
tin* same ratio of loss, what will
be the Wilson vote in New Jersey?
Recent events have shed new
light on the practice of selling
American products at one price at
home and at another price abroad.
A few years ago there was much
'■ritieism of some manufacturing
concerns which, in order to keep
I men employed and factories run
ning full capacity, produced more
g*M»ds than the home market would
i ' >rb and sold the surplus abroad
at a reduced price. The reduced
price was necessary in order to
-ell the goods in comi>etition with
the foreign producer. Now. itap
i |*ear*. the l”. S. Steel corporation
i- selling much of its product
abroad at higher prices than re
! eived at home. In the former
instance, as at present, the foreign
-ale* gave employment to Ameri
[ can laUir and furnished a market
! tor American raw material.
Formerly, the American manu
j facturer had to undersell his
foreign comjietitor in the foreign
market. Now the European war
ha* cut off the comiietition. In
tie* days when the surplus product
was marketed at a cut price abroad,
the wage earner received no less
than lie does today. All of which
food for thought among men
who are interested in the problem
■if finding a job for the American
workman whether a war is raging
in F^uroiie or not.
rhe protection to American in
dustries afforded by the European
war is well illustrated in the re
|M.rt «»f the department of labor,
recently made public, on foreign
food prices as affected by the war
bulletin No. 17". The rejiort
shows that administrative and
legislative measures to check the
rise iii the cost of necessaries were
very jrenerally taken. Denmark.
Ejr.vpt, < ireat Hritian. Italy. Spain.
Kussia and Turkey prohibited the!
exjM.rt of practically all foodstuffs.
I‘ ranee, Norway, and Sweden
lisp'd certain articles which must
not be exported, and Holland
placed an embarjro on butter and j
■hee~e. The embarjro placed by
Great Hritian on Australian ex
ports of fresh meats to the United]
States destroyed the hojies of an
organized attempt on the part of
meat producers in that country to |
lake advantajre of the Underwood
free trade provision on fresh meats.
Vs an exporter, Germany practi
cally ceased to exist as soon as the
blockade became effective. As a
prominent western business man
remarked: ] he blood of Europe
-aved this country from another
"W hen the war ends, all Euro
|<e*n countries will lie organized
<»ri a syndicate basis. Their in
dustries will be more centrally
controlled. They mist get on
’heir feet as soon as possible.
Foreign trade will l>e needed more
than ever and it must be secured
at the least |>ossible exjiense."
I his is a statement made in the
Manufacturers' News by a western
man who stands high in the busi
ne—. world. M r. .J. Pierpont Mor
gan. Jr., recently returned from
ibnmd, declares that the European
var can not last more than a year
longer. Considering these two
-tate merits, where will this coun
try “get off at" under a demo
cratic tariff for revenue only? A
republican protective tariff law
vdl be required to bold back tlie
d*x»d of foreign-made, syndicate
'•■lling goods. Remember that on
election day, 1916.
At tlie dose of business, Satur
day. August 7th, the net balance
in the general fund of the I'nited
States treasury was $65,744,940 as
compared with $131,627,458 on the
>a:ne date two years ago. under
republican laws. The deficit for
• he present fiscal year from July
1 to August 7 was Si 8.4.Vi, 200.
Tin* month of July, noted, among
other things, for marvellous “pros
IM-ritAv' especially in “warorder”
lines, managed, nevertheless, to
produce a fruitage of 1,739 com
mercial failures, with liabilities of;
more than $18,000,000. This was
3"0 more failures than were re
ported in July, 1914.
Boo£t a Little Bit
Anyone almost can be a knocker;
Its easier to tear down than to build,
So why not try your best to be a booster?
With pessimists the world s already filled.
\ ou can’t expect that things will always suit you:
In melancholy judgment then you sit?
No. Better far to help along a little;
Better far to boost a little bit.
It never pays to join the anvil chorus,
Or spread unkind words about your town;
Many there are to hamper and retard it,
Who do their level best to run it down.
What if it has its little failings?
It has its good points, also—hasn’t it?
So why not to the wheel adjust your shoulder;
Why not get out and boost a little bit?
A churlish dog may bay at the moon in anguish;
The frog must croak, for nature w illed it so,
The mules were placed on earth to do kicking
As any good zoology will show.
The good Lord has provided for the knocking,
So if a wider groove you long to fit,
Adopt this as a motto: “Be a Booster.’’
And then get out and boost a little bit.
