HEARD AT THE CAPITOL.
Washington, July 19: (Special cor
respondence) — "The republicans in
Wrisconsin are active, earnest and
united for the coming campaign,” said '
Representative William J. Cary of that1
state. “I would not be at all surprised
to see our state go 100,000 for Hughes
and Fairbanks. The only question at
issue is the size of the republican ma
jority.”
"No more ludicrous thing has ever
been done by this administration than
to flop on the tariff proposition,” said
a middlewest member of congress.
“Where a few months ago the presi
dent was poking fun at the idea of a
tariff commission he is now falling all
over himself in favor of one. From
all reports it is to be a typical Wilson!
commission and will be headed by a po-1
litical economist and well -known ad-]
vocate of free trade, who is connected
wit hone of the big colleges of the
country. It seems to me that the peo
ple have had enough theory injected
into this administration thus far, with
out having additional doses dispensed
through the intsrumentality of a tariff
commission. A real tariff commission
should be made up of men who have
practical knowledge of business, im
portations and American industry.”
National committeeman Virgil h.
Hyland of West Virgina, was convers
ing with some republican friends at
the capitol a few days since. Speaking
of the West Virginia situation he said:
“It is all over but the shouting in our
state. There is nothing left to do but
count the votes and figure up the size
of the republican majority. West Vir-j
ginia is as sure to go republican this
fall as any human event can be. The
republicans and progressives are once
more united and they are working In
harmony. What happened a few weeks
ago in one of our congressional dis
tricts shows which way the political
wind is blowing in West Virginia.”
Already many democrats are begin
ning to concede that there is little or
no liklihood of their carrying the
House at the coming election. Not
only is this talked among the mem
bers, but it is also the theme of con- j
versation among many of the present
employes of the capitol. Some of them
are already beginning to make ar
rangements for employment in other
circles and there has not been such a
pronounced indication of “moving
day” in the old historic building in
many a year.
“The western states will line up
for the republican ticket,” said Re
presentative Clifton N. McArthur, of
the Portland, Oregon, district. "There
has been some gossip that the western
progressives would not follow Col.
Roosevelt, but this talk has been made
by democrats. There is no ground for
this, for all along the line, those states
over on the Pacific slope are red hot
for the republican ticket and the old
fashioned republican majorities can ne
looked for in November.”
Representative Cyrus A. Sulloway,
of New Hampshire, speaking to a
group of his colleagues, said: “I have
just been over my district. Everybody
is enthusiastic for Hughes. Not only
will he receive the support of practi
cally all of the progressives of my
state, but many democrats disgusted
with the present administration, will
also give the republican candidate its
support. Among the rank and file of
the former progressives. I do not know
of one that is not back with our party.
The best of it all is that they are en
thusiastic for the ticket.”
PROTECTION AFFORDED BY WAR.
A pretty good instance of the pro
tection afforded by the war is in the
case of Germany. During the ten
months ended April, 1914, Germany
sent to us $160,000,000 worth of her
products—mostly manufactured goods.
During the period ended April, 1915.
her exports to us wrere cut to $86,000.
000. The British blockade had not
yet thrown its strangle hold around
the realm of the Kaiser. During the
period ended April, 1916, nearly $13,
000,000 worth of goods leaked through,
or passed around and into the United
States from Germany.
That is a choking off of trade of
which even arch-protectionists com
plain. but it has a wonderful effect in
speeding up our own industries. If
Germany cannot export to us, she can
not export to South American coun
tries, and the latter must look to us
for their supplies. If our manufactu
rers can feel secure in .their home mar
ket, they can go ahead and enter the
lists for the capture of foreign mar
kets. In the past year or so that has
been done by us to a greater degree
than ever before in the same length
of time. The democratic party is mak
ing a great brass-band display of this
increase in South American trade.
They attribute it to their commercial
policies—the same policies that had
this country going groggy before the
first gun fired in the European wnr
called off the attack of our foreign
competitorson our market, and ga- e
us a chance to take some of theirs.
That gallant tariff wrecker. Senator
Furnifold Simmons, declares: “Instead
of surrendering our markets to the
foreigner, we have invaded and cap
tured his.” But who tied his hands
while the capturing was going or ?
The lad at Sarevejo, who assassi
nated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand,
had a lot more to do with our captur
ing the foreigner’s markets than Wil
liam Cox Redfield, Doc. Pratt or Sen
ator Simmons.
Having captured these markets, how

shall we hold them? Retain a demo
cratic tariff law on our statute books,
surrender our home market, after the
war, to European pauper-paid labor and
low interest capital, and manufacture
soley for South American and Oceanic
trade? Or enact a protective tariff
law, with an anti-dumping clause at
tached, which will give our mills a
chance to operate at full time, full ca
pacity; give labor the American stand
ard of wages every working day in the
year, reduce the unit cost of produc
tion, and give us an equal chance in
South America and elsewhere with our
European competitors? The establisn
ment of banks in South America will
avail us little if we cannot sell goods
in competition with our trade rivals,
and only protection at home will in
sure that. Every European country
|knew it; England now knows it, and
we are going to act accordingly.
It is undoubtedly true, as stated by
President Samuel Gompers. of the
American Federation of Labor, that
never before in the history of the
world were so many people employed
at such high wages and under such ex
cellent conditions as is the case in the
United States today. But what is the
reason? An immense number of men
are employed in the United States be
cause millions of men in Europe have
been taken out of industrial employ
ment to engage in the destructive em
ployment of war. We are performing
productive work for them while they
are engaging in destruction. More
over, the war has shut off immigration
and caused thousands of foreign born
residents of America to go home, with
the net result of reducing our popula
tion 1.250.000 below what it would
have been under normal conditions.
Mr. Gompers is right as to employ
ment and wages. He is not entirely
right as to other conditions, for many
laborers have found the cost of living
increased in a greater degree than
their wages, as compared with 1912.
Carranza's note is described as“pav-'
ing the way” for an advoidance of
hostilities. We are not enamored of
this “paving” business. As we recall
it. the road to a most undesirable desti
nation is said to be paved with good
intentions.
The announcement that Wilson’s
managers will call the movies to their
aid in the campaign reminds us anew
of the possibilities of the faked film.

GETTING INDIAN MUSIC.
A reporter of the Kansas City Post,
accompanied Mr. Lieurance on one
of his trips into the Indian camps to
get their music, and in that paper on
January, 1916, describes one visit as
follows:
“Then we had the singing. Deer-of
the-Yellow-Willow, his unscrutable
eyes fixed on the unseen, lounged
against a tree and played his flute.
His long braids, wound about with
strips of green flannel, hung over his
shoulders, and his silver earrings
dangled with the Vibration of the
music. Two others of the braves had
flutes, which were native instruments
made by themselves.
“Sometimes they all played to
gether, and sometimes they laid the
flutes aside and sang,—Mr. Lieurance
joined heartily in that “Hi-hi-ya! Hi
hi-ya!”
“The impression the whole thing
made was keen, profound and charm
ing. The songs told all the events
and emotions of the Indians' life.
There were religious songs, songs for
the buffalo and deer dances, and for
the sun dance. There were planting
songs, hunting songs, war songs, love
songs.
“The lover went up into the moun
tains to hunt deer, and of the hides
he made boots for his beloved, and
then they were betrothed and he sang
a song about it.'
“So it went on and on. They sang
with half shut eyes, muscular bodies
moving rhymetically with the beat
of the music. Sometimes they pound

He is a broadshouldered young man
