It should not ba forgcttan ih»»
cir foreign returns fcave been muck
iitfUt-i ttl by the rife In values. In a
f«-w Instances the rise In values
has Dtvu double 'Ue rise in volume.
In the majority- at eases the ad
vance in values has been much great
er than lu quantities, and Ini only
a few cases has 'he value gained
less than quantity.
These fluctuat'ons are almost en
'• due to tha war, wh9bh revolu
t; : iztnl foreign trade. Little pr*w
pm exists of j. return to former
conditions. X w openings are be
i .g made for American products iu
foreign markets owing to withdraw,
of some of the beUigrocnts. Some
0' tli -so markets we will hoJd per
manently,, others may return to
former channels after the war.
Foreign purchasing; power, astdt.
from sheer necessities, will undoubt
e<ity be curtailed for a period, and
foreign countries wi"1 have & smalle
sirrplus of products 'o sell the U«
i'f! states.
On the other hand t!he various
bolligt rents may i€(upern*e more l-a
pidly than getienally expected, and i
so 'tie depression after h.te war will
bo less prolonged than sometimes
fuiticipttftd. Doubtless there will
be sharp competition for the
world's market.- during the next de
cade, and the end of the war will
fi:rd the United States in better con
dition for the struggle than any
Wasr nation so far as unimpaired
atrengt" ;is a factor Is concerned.
Cur dhief handicaps "will be high
cOMty of production, inadequate
banking and transportation facili
tiet^ and unfamlliarity -with forelgu
requirements, as well as unpr< pare.,
ness to meet foreign competition.
In sKiil and expel ience necessary tc
eecport trade, foreign' manufacture
ers are often superior, but in
all these respects we are ready
learners and not likely to let op
portunities "o by default. Our for
eign trade has a brilliant future;
and, notwithstanding the irregulairl
ties which war may bring, war h-ae
opened the door to trade expansion
v.- <■'— than ever dreamed of before
the uresent upheaval began.
THE MAX "HIGHES"
Charles Evans Hughes, the re
publican candidate for president of
tiia United Stat is, has a remarkable
career and corner beiore the people
with a solid foundation, already
laid -which will call for the im
mediate confidence of the voters
and leaders the nation over.
He was born at Glet8 Falls, N. Y.
April 11, 1862, and Is the son of
l>avid Charles and Mary Catherine
(Connelly)Hughes. He was a atu
dent at Colgate university from
1876-8 and hid the degriee of
Bachelor of Arts conferred upon,
liiin at Brown University in 1881.
He -received his master® degree for
the same college 'n 1884, then be
g.uiJtiie study of la\t at Coiumibie
Univeisity. He was graduated from
there in 1884, receiving bis law de
gree.
He was admitted to the New
York bar in the same year and re
ceived a prizo fellowship) from Col
umbia in the game year. Sir.
Hughes practiced the! profession
of law in New York from 1884 to
to 1893 and than became a law
professor and special lecturer a'
Cornell university. His whotel life
b;ia been devotsd fo teaching and
studying conditions which; are con
fronting the United States.
Mr. Hughea was tbe assistant to
the U. S. attorney general in the
coal land investigations carried on
In 1906. He was nominated on thai
republican ticket lor mayor oX New
York City, but dccllnsd- Aa govern 4
oT the SWX« ot New York, between
the years, 1907-10 he rendered a
perfect administration. He re
signed from this office to become
ajiuuclaud justice on the Supreme
B cm ah under Che Toft A<lmlsistra
tion and his record for service
since suing on tae bench is known
to eve 17 man' who keqpsi informed
on the current topics of the day.
ISSUES
r ■ . h\:u ^ J.
NV In many years .has the presi
dential campaign been so tame and
free from excitaiaent. No great pt«
llttoal, economic or social isaute
are a: stake—at least no radical
differences ol opinion exist — aaid
the whole campaign thus far hits
.been one of men rather than of is
sues. Patriotism and preparedness
seem to be the onlv live subjects;
and regarding Inese the differences
are mainly in degree. That the
whole country believes in patriot
ism as well &• In preparedness! goef
without saying; sad, since there
•can be no great conflict of opinion
i «bout the degree 0' either, it fol
lows that no very heated campaign
can be based upon such issues.
The tariff will probably become
more prominent la'er on, because
the country wili need a much larg
er revenue to meet the inevitable
cost of preparedness, and the tariff
can readily be made a larger source
o£ revenue If not pushed too high.
During the aext six months more
or less heated discussion, must be
anticipated, although the present
campaign promises to be much less
dfcturbing than usual.
