Drifting Into Direct Taxes. rnitid States Senator I'enrose ol PeniK'-ylvaiila:
"We are dri!'' 'i, into a syst(>ni ol direct taxes at d time when nearly every civilized nat'on is KoiiiK in tlit other (i;i-f(;tii>ii. Before the outbreak of the war in Kurope pvory nation in Europe, except KiiKlaiul, had a pro toctlve tariff, Bismarck openly de clared, in iir,«<lng a protoctive tariff for Germany, that tho. wonderful re cuperation of the I'nited States after what had, up to that time, been the greatest war in lilstory. our Civil War, was due to our protective legi-slation. If Germany liad not had a pF<jtective tariff and been ahl? to meet a large part of her requrrements from pro- twtlvR duties on liotm> industries and aKriculture, the' war woifld have been over loiiK ago, as far as Gewnimiy was concerned. And there is every reason to believe that with the close of the war new trade alliiMices and treaties will be made which will make it mare Imperative than ever that the I'niteJ Stales should get ready for ijulustrh^l preparediieBS."

One thing it certain: the United States has but few friendly nations in either the eastern or western hemisphere.

How do the thinking men of the country view the policy of the Demo cratic nagonal Administration in aban doning the protective policy and sub Btituiing in place of It a system ol direct taxation?
United Stales Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of .Massachusetts who has served continuously in the upper house of (.'ongress since IS'JIl and wlic is one of till? dearest thinkers in tht country, in a recent speech on this question, said: Changed Entire System of Taxation
"The Democratic party did more than simply overthrow the protective polliry; they altered our entire sys tem of taxation. i?y the constitu tion of the United States, the great source of revenue to be found In du ties on lmport.1 was reserved for the general government alone and it was the policy of the framers of the con Btitution and the foun(le*s of the gov eminent to use duties on imports a? the normal source for tho national revenue. The field of direct luxation except for the excdse on li(|uors and tobacco, was left to the slates, and it was tacitly understood that th!.= field was not be invaded by th" gen eral government exeejit in times ol stress. Ill a period of profound peacf the Demofratle party threw away a large part of tlm revenue to be de. rived from duties on imports, tliii? ahanddninjr the (IcM reserved exclu sively to the I'nited States, and de liberately siibstitiit( d direct taxes, in this way crippling the resources ol the states and Increasing the burden? upon the people."

MeCahe never has questioned Tarn- j Icle many's supremacy in Democraiic poll-i ties In the state. He Is probably as close to the Tammany leader as any; man In the state and when the Demo-1 cratic party Is In power it Is doubt-: fill if any other ftiiir Democrats living north of the Harlem riv(>r control as, much patronage as he does. This is not because of his strength at the polls, because his county is .strongly i Ropublican, but he Is a resourceful 1 fighter inside of his own party and has been able to Tiold his organization in line with Tammany on all occa sions,
