President Wilson. War stopped imports and, therefore, stopped custom collections. In July, 1914—a month before the/war opened and nine-orten

{effect—the

months after the tariff law had taken Journal of Conimerce declared that the changes in schedules "had little real effect upon trade or industry," but that they had achieved "a considerable reduction in the burden of tariff taxes" with only slight impairment of the productivity of the tariff as a source of revenue.

War erected a stone wall against Imports to the United States. Great manufacturing nations turnted their attention from making goods for export to send their young men to the trenches and others to their munition factories. There was little to export, even had the seas been free of commerce destroyers. The combination was fatal

Those responsible for the present •tariff realised that lowered schedules would probably decrease Its productivity to some degree. Accordingly, they shifted part of the revenue burden to an Income tape. Later, when war came, a temporary war tak was leiyied.'

The present shrinkage in customs revenue is a product of the war. Had war not come there is every reason to believe the tariff would have produced its expected share toward the support of the government, i'1 ..

On the other hand, ^ad this war "*found-the United States with the old Payne-Aldrich act in operatkn, the penalty would hkve been heavier, because, under that measure, a larger proportion of the entire government income depended on customs duties. Had the law remained, the diflcit now foreseen would have be^n greater. There would have been need of an even heav-

ler special war tax.

THE PLUGGER.

In oie baseball crisis the term, "solid ivory," sprung from one Mr. Merkle's inaptityde. His co-defendant was one Mr. Snodgrass. The other day a little item on the sport page of the Tribune reported tha passing from the National league of Frerl Snodgrass. The New York Nationals have given him his unconditional release, and a star of about the second magnitude fades from the baseball firmament.

But Snodgrass Will be -remembered whep the names of greater luminaries are forgotten.' For Snodgrass attained

JNCOME AND OUTGO.

iktl Official figures on the operation of the present tariff act leave Uttle conaolation to the adrvocates of high protective tariff, at the conclusion of the second year of the Underwood bill. On the other hand they reflect an almost prophetic foresight on the part of

"vm

I mmv1' .y the summit of notoriety as the greatest "goat"., in the history of the game,

It was the misfortune of this man to store up his worst and most inexcusable plays for the most vital contests. By his own unaided efforts he threw away one world's championship, and he aided materially Jri the throwing away of a second.

Yet he was a really good player so good, in faC't, that his manager' retained him long after his offenses had. passed into history. May it not be that there are many Snodgrasses in the less conspicuous walks of life men whose misfortune it has been to err only at the most inopportune time. If so, there is a lesson in the story of Snodgrass. For he persisted, despite his misfortune, and rtiade good. He has passed only as all baseball players must pass, and he carries with him the good will of the men who suffered most by his temporary shortcomings.

CHEATING THE CROPS.

With the coming of fall comes the open seasons for hunting different kinds of game and recalls once more the widespread slaughter that'is carried on each fall in the name of sport. The public, however. Is coming to have a set notion on this matter.

Sportsmen are warne.d by the department of agriculture..tjhat^the federal law protecting migratory, birds is no lfile statute enactcd for ornamental purposes. 'It will be enforced. Offenders need expect no leniency merely because .state regulations may be more liberal than those passed by congress.

The approach of September gives timeliness to the word of warning, for the open season for shooting many wild fowls begins with the first day of the coming month. It would be well for sportsmen, before venturing forth with their rifles, to post themselves upoa the bird law of congress, as well as those of the legislature.

It' is unfortunate that some of the states have lagged behind the federal authorities in the protection- thrown about' useful bird life. These states will in time,- perhaps, come to see that leniency toward bird destroyers Is a bad policy and frame protective regulations as stringent as congress has done. Until then sportsmen will halve two sets of enactments to observe.

WHERE TO STAND.

Recalling cabinet members and their services, Chancey M. Depew, in many respects the most Interesting political figure living, outlines, In a memoir issued the other day, the famous conflict between Lincoln and his secretary of jthe treasury, Salmon P. :Chase, who twice offered his resignation at crucial periods in Lincoln's administration. The fiecond time Lincoln accepted the resignation, the people rallied behind him almost to a man and Cha3e went into eclipse. "DejfTew continues: "The second resignation was that of James G. Blaine from the cabinet of President Harrison. I was intimate with Mr. Blaine and (very fond of him. Though he was. at the head of Mr. Harrison's cabinet, he permitted himself to be put forward in the republican national convention as a candidate against his chief. Mr. Blaine was at the time a very sick man. The sunstroke which nearly ended his life some years before had created mental conditions, which, at times, impaired his sagacity and will power. Mr. Harrison had asked me to be his convention and floor manager at Minneapolis, where the convention met. I caljed upon Blaine, told hiimthe president's request, and said tp hjni: 'My friendship w.ith 5'ou is such, that-I will not take this place or assume this responsibility without your consent.' He said: 'You have my entire approval under no circumstances will I bo a candidate my health is such I could not surviive the campaign.' Of course., he resigned immediately after Mr. Harrison's renomination and died in a few months. Mr, Harrison offered me his place, which felt compelled to dccline. "Now comes the resignation Of Mr. Bryan. When one has reached, my time of life and been active in affairs from the time he reached his majority, precedent and historical parallels greatly Interest him. In the Mexican war, in the war between the states, in the Spanish" war, the actions and sentiments of the people have always been the sarhe. They Mllly around their president. They do this without regard to party affiliations or approval or disapproval of his other policies, measures and administrative acts. "The president represents, for the time being, the honor and integrity, the rights and safety of the country."

It is announced that gowns will button up the back next year, thus saving a new lease of life to a well worn wheeze.

Chicago had a "better babies" week. But how can a baby hope to be any better If it has to grow up in Chicago?

Victims of cabinet changes In Europe are coming to favor the New York idea of a "stationary post."

There are no old maids in Turkey. No wonder, then, that country haa so many unhappy men.

Women who are wise will avoid putting any matter of importance to the test while this rule prevails. It is most unlucky for business affair?., especially for whatever concerns persons in positions of authority. Teach ers should be very circumspect this w^ek, as the stars tend to make superiors exacting and critical.

It is not an auspicious time for love affairs of for weddings. Romance is under a direction held to forecast disappointment and heart ache.

This should be a lucky sway for all who deal in fine foodstuffs, fruits and delicacies that please the palate. Gain for exporters is indicated.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE PROBES CHEMICAL SITUATION

Agents Sent to New York to Investigate Trade Conditions Brought Z] About by War.' "P

NEW YORK. Aug. 31.—Not only the jdye. ptuffa "situation fcut every phase of ifthe ^chemical dndustrir will be taken Up by the agents of the department of commerce sent here by Secretary Redfleld tq investigate condition^ in those trades caused by the war. Dr. Thomas H. Nortoii, the chief investlgator who began work here today, said: "We are anxious to see how we can utilize the coal industry. In which we are now wasting: products worth $100,ooo.ooo. ^."Germany utilizes every ounce of coal by-pro&uois, but only 16- pec .cent, of our coke furnaces are eauipped for reclaiming coal tar products^ Only a few are, actually recovering berizol, naphthaline and carbolic acid,- which are the basis of most of the: coal tar products. Unfortunately benzol and carbolic acid are used largely in explosives with the result that these products are mostly t^ikejj up byi the ammunition factories. "The potash- problem, is large. "We import annually from Germany $15,000,000 worth of potash, while off .the coast there are supplies of kelp which are believed to iiaVe a valiie of '$160.,000,000, now going tp waste. We have at our door enough potash to meet the demands of the world, and to supply the needs of our crops, tobacco, grain and other produce, in the way of fertilizer. We always have been dependent upon Germany for potash. "Photographic chemicals are vanishing. "We don't want to get caught in such a plight 'again and the department of commerce wants to stimulate American development so we can supply our own .demands and then branch out into the world's trade in chemicals. "After this investigation is conclude ed," said Dr. Norton, "we wW be in a position to determine what can. be done to relieve immediate necessities, although I am firmly of the belief that a strong domestic dye stuff industry can be built up eventually
