Tariff For Mexico First.

While -(’arranza is busy . routing our commission, and Villa is routing Carranza, Mexico is incieasing her sales in our market to a scandalous extent. We imported $95,000,000 worth of goods from Mexico during the first 11 months of 1916, compared with $77,000,000 during the same per cent. This is the Mexican salute to the Wilson-Underwood lav/. It has cost about $150,000,000 to “get Villa,” and we spent a few millions for a salute from Huerta. The only tangible thing we have really got from Mexico are these increased imports, resulting in a trade balance against u$ of $47,000,000 in 11 months. And the end is not yet.
