REDFIELD WILL RECOMMEND.
Again the word “failure” has been
written in bold type across the text
of a democratic law.
No less person than Secretary of
Commerce Redfield has admitted the
necessity for legislation to provide
that “unfair competition from
abroad” at the close of the war “shall
not be permitted to injure American
industry.” The secretary has an
nounced that in his next annual re
port to congress he will recommend
the enactment of laws to prevent the
“dumping” of foreign products into
the American market.
Considered in connection with Sec
retary Redfield’s statement, the action
of the democratic congress in elim
inating the “antidumping” clause
from the Underwood tariff law as
sumes the proportions of a colossal
blunder.
That the enactment of the Under
wood bill would render imperative at
least a small measure of protection
to American industries was conceded
by the ways and means committee
when it reported the tariff bill. To
provide it the committe recommend
ed an ‘anti-dumping” clause, declaring
in its report that it was to guard the
producers of the United States against
the demoralization of American mar
kets caused by low priced foreign
importations.
The clause provided in substance
that upon exported foreign articles
not on the free list also manufactured
in the United States, a special duty
of not to exceed fifteen per cent
should be levied whenever the for
eign price was less than the far mar
ket value at home.
The house passed this provision.
The republicans unsuccessfully tried
to amend it and then to a man voted
for it. The senate finance committee
struck it from the bill, and in spite
of united republican efforts to amend
and restore it, the tariff bill passed
the senate without the anti-dumping
clause, eventually becoming a law in
that form.
The anti-dumping clause thus
thrown into the discard by the demo
crats was very evidently a necessity,
the demand for which was acutely
emphasized by the passage of the law
from which it was finally eliminated.
In recommending anti-dumping leg
islation now, Secretary Redfield has
not merely turned the limelight upon
a legislative blunder of his party. He
has justified th^ position of the repub
licans and virtually championed their
cause.
During seven months of the Euro
pean war ending July, 1915, which
period was under the democratic tariff
there was imported into the United
States $11,240,251 worth of woolen
_goods, made in foreign factories, as
compared with $8,870,101 of such
goods imported during the correspond
ing period in 1913which was under the
republican tariff law. This clearly in
dicates that English mills are not only
busy in supplying their own war de
mands for woolens, but are producing
enough to increase their exports to
the United States. The chief items
are English cloths and dress goods,
which represent over fifty per cent
of the total woolen goods coming in
during this seven months war period.
During the seven months ending
July, 1914, which was the period im
mediately preceding the outbreak of
the war, imports of woolen goods from
foreign countries amounted to $29,
239,274, representing an increase for
this period under the democratic tariff
law, over the similar period of 1913,
republican law, of about 230 per cent,
or an increase of $20,000,000 worth
of woolen goods which displaced that
amount of goods which should have
been made in the mills and factories
of the United States, employing
American labor.
The United States government for
the week ending October 9, 1915, col
lected a revenue of $3,691,113 on $32„
364,630 worth of imports entering the
thirteen principal customs districts
of this country. This is an everage
ad valorem rate of duty of 11.4 per
cent, which indicates that a large per
centage of imports are coming in free,
but the cost of living does not de
crease. The annual average ad val
oren rate of duty during the last year
of the republican tariff law was 17.6
per cent, and the republican secretary
of the treasury was not forced to the
extremity of padding the daily treas
ury statement in order to make a good
showing, which the present secretary
is now doing. Labor was universally
employed, and American industries
were adequately protected.
Notwithstanding the fact that sixty
three per cent of our imports now
enter free of duty ,the cost of living
does not decrease. The New York
Times Analist index number showing
average wholesale prices of twenty
five food commodities for the week
ending October 1G, 1915, is 142.93,
compared with 141.6 for the corres
ponding week of October, 1913, the
first month of the democratic tariff,
during which month 61 per cent of
imports came*in free. This does not
square with the democratic campaign
promise that by means of duty free
goods they would lower tlfe cost of
living.
If, as some people think, a general
tariff revision is undertaken by the
next session of Congress, it will be
the first time in political history that
the same political party, in control of
two successive congresses, has done
such a thing. It will also be the first
time that a political party has had to
make confession of its failure as a
tariff maker.
The net balance in the federal treas
ury on October 16 was $116,091,130,
this balance having been augmented
by inclusion of various items not in
cluded prior to October 1. The deficit
on that date was $43,473,748.
Uncle Sam and the Central and
South American republics are recog
nizing Carranza and his government,
but hanged if we would want to re
cognize the cuss or any of his horde
in a dark alley.
We would like to know which busi
ness house you think has the most at
tractive, appealing and compelling
advertisement in this issue of the pa
per. Why not tell us?
Anybody who doesn’t wish the

old codger who would like to stand

Just glue your eyes to the ads in
this paper and you will not even
want to think of going anywhere else

Live merchants will be telling you
about it in the paper from now on un

Cheer up, old top. It keeps other
