Why does Mr. Hughes insist: upon talkiig about that old fashioned, not lo say “iniquitous” doctrine, the pro- tective tariff? For nearly -the whole period of its industrial existence the United States struggled along under protection. The Democratic party in 1913 came to the relief of an afflicted and burdened people. The Republican Administration (not on account of the tariff, it. is true) was overthrown. Before taking over the reins of government. and for many years prior to that time, countless Democratic statesmen had vainly tried to persuade the American people that the protective tariff was an iniquity, a veritable contrivance of devils. It fostered the trusts. and it was an ele- vator of prices even to the thirty-sev- enth story 2nd the tower. They prom- The poor should be no longer oppressed; the cost of living should be reduced—must be, as the sure result of a tariff for revenue— protective only in spots. such as the Louisiana sugar mills and the Carolina cotton factories. Doesn’t Mr. Hughes know what the Administration did which he is now attacking? He ought to know. The Democrats, : under the leadership of Mr. Wilson; and. Mr. Underwood, re- pealed that iniquity and abomination, the Payne-Aldrich tariff law—that fos- ter mother of trusts and high prices— and enacted in its place the present law. Mr. Hughes knows, of course, as ‘every ‘head of a family. in America knows, that t'ie trusts have not yet been dissolved and that the, cost of living 1s higher than ever—that the price of everything has reached an un- heard of height—but what of it? What of it, indeed? While it is true that a protective tariff never. failed under any circumstances to protect American industry and American la- bor, it is to be considered that the war in Europe has upset the plans of the pregent low tariff administration, Now, the obvious thing for Mr. Hughes to ‘do 18 to give the 'Demo- crats .2 chance to, get their tariff on straight. Never mind.the patient: lets That time. the doctor experiment, won't come, of course. until] the sar 18 over_“nccdrdtiig to the Democratic version. ‘Im other” ‘Words, the tariff for revenue doctrine doesn’t fit the conditions; “the conditions must be OP | made to: fit the tariff. ‘So why. thix disturbance, Mr. Hughes?

A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR Six unarmed merchantmen fell prey to German undersea raiders when the kaiser’s U-boats became active on the United States coast south of Nan- tucket. Allied warships are reported closing in on the new submarine war No fatalities are reported as a result of the raid, but the crew of one of the sunken steamers is reported missing. Transport Gallia, carrying 2,000 French apd Serbian troops, was tor- pedoed by a submarine in the Mediter- ranean and sunk Qet. 4. Of the sol- diers 1,362 were rescued and 630 are missing. Heavy fighting on the battlefields of Europe seems for the present to have shifted from the Somme front to the Balkans and Galicia. Confusing reports are coming out regarding the | success or failure of the Rumanians on’ three ‘flelds in Tramsylvania, Do- brudjaciand Bulgaria: - The Best’ ins formation indicates that the Rugpénian invasion of; Bulgaria thas been a ‘fall wre, while in Transylvania their army is “eqmpietely annihilated” ome diy and returns the next with a victory admitted from Vienna and Berlin. The Rumanian force of 15,000 men who crossed the Danube into Bulgaria | at Rassovo, between the Bulgarian fortresses of Rustchuk and reported annihilated in the “official Te. port from Sofia, has apparently ‘98 caped in safety! This appears from the Sofia official report. The efficial German report had prev- | iously admitted that the Rumanians made good their escape, but declared that only a portien got back across the Danube. - On the Macedonian front the vigor- ous offensive of the entente forces along the whole ling is. telling, notice- ably onthe Bulgarian defense. .- The. official report from Paris stated that the British on the eastern end of the line, in the Struma valley, following their capture of the town of Yenikeu, have reopened their attacks and have forced a retreat of the Bulgarians. On the western end of the line the. Serv- ians, French and Russians are press. ing closer and closer to Monastir. The British success on the Struma front puts them east ofithe river and some nine miles. from the important railway center of Seres.( The latest official report frem London states that they had occupied the town of Nevol- gen, nine miles west of Seres. They bombarded the town and the Bul garians retreated.

Sabin Denies Use of Am- bassador Gerard’s Name In Inter- view of Peace; Head of Great Bank. Charles H. Sabin, president oi the Guaranty Trust‘company of New York, second largest banking institution in the country, declared’ that negotia- tions for a European peace are now going on and that the proposals are on the way to this country. Mr. Sabin would not disclose the ‘source of his information, but declared it to be authentic ald official. He dor Gerard was the bearer of pro- posals from Germany to President ‘Wilson. : Mr. Sabin was on the links of the National Golf club at Southampton, L. I., when the reporters met him. “Your name has come out as that of the bank president who said that Ambassador Gerard was bearing peace proposals from Germany,” a newspa- per reported told him.: “] deny that emphatically,” Mr. Sabin answered. “I did met use the name of Gerard until one of the men 1 was talking to spoke of Gerard.” “Will you tell your source of infor- mation, Mr. Sabin?” “Absolutely not." “It is suggestéd that your informa- tion has come through your business affiliations,” one interviewer said... Mr. Sabin merely shook his head. “It is denied that any peace nego- tiations are in the air,” the questioner persisted. “Nevertheless, they are new going en,” replied the banker, fémly. “The -admiafotration knows about it.” “But President Wilson denies knoWl- edge of it,” he was told. “Well,” he replied, “1 won't say the president knows about it; but the Mr. Sabin refused to particularize. “ “You ar® réportsd to have foe b b J.

It has the largest de- posits of any trust company in Amer- len, totalling $425,000,000. It is one of the four greatest financial institu- tions of America.
