" i t ha reached its first twelve month mile jKist. but weean gi-n-enilly get a prtty good idi-u of the sort of statue of h man into whkh it is going' tod'Vilop by the showing it tnaWesdu'-ingthat time. It is not otherwise with us when we come to reckon thepros- Mct of any enterprise. Dusiness can onlinarilv le raurel either to success or fa ilute by the rec ord made during the first year and in the light of this common standard of judgment, it is not amiss to make our calculations as to the ultimate achievements of national democracy from rec ords accomplished since that day a year ago when President Wil son took oath of office. Without exaggerating the pause at all, wp might remark that no other administration has made such a remarkable showing as has the regime of President Wit son during the short time it has been in power. This is true not only of what has been planned during that time to be carried out at some future date, but ac tually of what has been accom plished. The party went into pow er with a load on its' shoulders. It has pledged itself to reforms which its predecessor has been promising for years, but which' it had never been able to carry out. flie republicans knew the temper of the American people in respect to the tariff and it dickered; with it year after year without making a dent upon the adamantine op position to revision which w a s reserved in financial and "manu facturing circles.. It had talked of the necessity of a new currencv bill, and some of its -leading ex ponents knew precisely what the ountry wanted, but" they could not get their party around to the onvietion that it was either the wise or the expedient reform to engage it. W i t h these unaccomplished tasks ot the republicans betore them and without a path having been blazed upon which they could travel to the execution of these plans, the Democrats plunged straightway into the program of reform and in the course of a few months, they had smashed the wall of the protective tariff and adopted a schedule of currency that promises to revolut ionize the industries of the American 'peo ple. These achievements of course stand out as the two principal and the most concrete specimens of what the administration has done. Looking at the i words of the past vear from a general point of view, the larger accom plishment has been inspiring the confidence of the American peo ple both in the sincerity of the Government to do something re ally potent for their good and its own power of initiative. The country at large has about re covered from the shivers of fear with which it was first attacked when the democracy camcin to its kingdom. They had been so con tinuously possessed with the be lief that that the democratic par ty was a party of panics that it was natural for fear to be exper ienced when the preceding regime was banished from the dominant -ouncils at Washington. Indica tions now, however, are that the jieople have abundant -faith in Iemocracv and in the exponents if ilemocracv who are solving rhe problems of the nation at Washington. And after all, this is not only the asset that keeps i, party in p wer but it is the in dispensable characteristic of a successful aud viriie government. STATE AKO CENERAl NEWS. I Conjnvssman R.

Sei ivtary It.ilfi.-ld is the cab inet officer who is spokesman for the Wilson administration on all commercial mid industrial prob lems, lie devotes his entire time to a study of these problems and no man is so well prepared as he to speak with authority on tin present business conditions or to predict conditions towards whi. h the country is tending. For this reason we are willing to take Mr. Redfield's word for it when he de clares that the general business conditions of the United State and the world are greatly im proved and that the tendency i towards a strengthening of confi dence all around and continualh increasing prosjienty. It was not strange that the se rious depression all over Europe as well as South America should have been slightly reflected upon us in the latter part of last year" he said, 'it is uotsurprisingthat careful men moved cautiously ii. business matters pending the ne cessity readjustments from t h ( new tariff, or that they should have hesitated until the final form of tin currency bill was known. It is not strange eithei that the men should want to know the attitude of the govern ment toward legit imate business. 'But there is no ground foi worry.

"The tendency is clearly a n d openly in the direction of a re duction in the cost of food a n d clothing through the removal ol the tariff tax. It may be well to point out, however, that th( costly processes of distribution lay a tremendous tax upon our consumers, and that in my judg ment the single and littlediscuss ed factor of cartage alone lays a heavier burden upon our people than the total amount paid f o r railroad freights. 'The new tariff has not thus far resulted in any material in crease of importation of manu factured articles to compete with the products of our own facto ries, but rather its important ef fect has been to add to our food supply."
