PAGE TWO 1 HE TWICE-A-W^ BISPATC^, FRIDAY, OtTOBStt 36, i&ji; MAYOR WANTS MONKY KEPT HERE- The first formal visit to this city of the Governing Bqaiil of the Penn sylvania Society of New York, late yesfwlay afternoon, ft>as marked by an informal recaption in the office of Mayor Blaiikenburg, where what was ■declared to be the generally unfavorable conditions of the country at l^irge, and New York and Philadelphia, in paiticiilar, were discussed. After the visitors had been introduced to the Mayor by ex-Governor Stuart, they sat about the Mayor and tr.'.ked over what seemed to be tiist in the minds of all present—whai was to be done with the un^nployed m the great cities of the country. The jileiV-s of the Eed Cross Society were also discussed, with the result that Mayor Blankenhurg said that because cf the conditions in this country he did !!ct favor the plan of studing money and clothing abKsad. “1 estimate the number of uiiemploj^ed in this city at the present tinw as seven per cewt, greater than ew li^are,'’ the Mayor said. “It niakes me think of the tirae you wer« raayOT”—turning to Mr, Stuart. “I was look ing oyer some ot the bills passed by Conmah many years a»», in the last few days, and 1 found one -which you istd'sigrrf^ appropriating ^100,000 to be us ed for the unemeployea. Tliat was the you put wen to work fixing the .tnud^les on the country road&.” Although the visitoi's had i'OEie tr, th? city to attend a banquet in their honoi^ at the Unio.i League at night, they spoke and acted more as if they Ijiid come to attend a meeting to devise ■\iays to meet unfavorable conditions. After the statement 'vi'as made that conoitibns in Xew >ork were cvej; .\oise than in this city—the fajiiilies of those who went abroad to light, i-ie still su-anged in New York—the Mayor ,;p6k of the work the Red-Cross :s do ing to raise money for Kurope. “the v.-ork done by the Eed O-.'-s is very wosiderful," he said, '“.■m It .seems to me tliat we ought to keep 5oh,c of that money ;.nd some ol nie i-lothing we are .=iending- ahro:id in this c.’ty for our own (inenipioyed an>i those in trouble." -\fr. Stuart spoke of an old comm’.cieo whi;-h had the i-is'ht to say w!i:;t part of the money collected for the Kc.i Cioss should ne sent To othei coun tries and what part should be kept for the use of iht:s country. He ti'.oii^ht it would be a good plan to revive it. The Mayor agreed to this and said he v.a.s the onJy tnaii mi ilje ivmn>2l- tee, which had served on the original Mr. Stuart then spoke of •'he time he had s«nt a cargo of flour for relief of the Russians, when he was mayor and added that serious Lhoughi, mi.fi i^e given not only to ihe prese:it condition."! here, but to those coming in il'.s liear future. ‘ Last ye;)i- at this time," he said, “the Baldwin locomotive Woiks were employing seventeen thou.^iaroid men on f!.-! time. .At the pi-e.sent time they have thirty-eight hundred, and these i^rc on halt time. ’ .^fter the visitors had met the .Mayor they were ecsoited to the Union League Clu'o, where Mr. Stuart, presider.t of the society, was the host at rhe dinner.

While this sounds iv^iK'hty fine and it is admitted every where without question that there J»rc few things American genius is unable to accomplish, the hioi^ conservative tbi^’kers give it us their opinion that it. !•? a matter of dollars and ceniS :h:tl precludes the probability of Aint^rican entorpriiJe winning new lau- Vt'les. the I'etroit man whose firm, rr-cs n’uniy chemical compound? thftt ai't* cbtuined almost excl^isively fro'a “Hellndov.iia ujhI dla:italis ary uvo •M‘::rles which Wc import.

'The same applies to chemicals:, at so far that we are concerned. M’iny of these come to us.from Ger- p*a*jj.

It i?7 the preser.t hope of Democracy that the European war will so take up and fill the .\mc.viean mind as to dUi'-act it entirely from thoughts as to what the party in power has done in its eighteen months ot rule. Such a hope is not flattering to thu .\mericari people. It is not a peo ple which is in the habit of permitting the accident of today to off.set the premediated oSfence of yesterday- The voter of the L’nited. States has a liabit of vemenibenng, not of forgettijig, especially when he has real reason to keep certain facts is^delibiy in mind. A depleted purse is a great aid to memory. Unfortunately f^r the Democ. aiic party, iheir record was made up before the w^r began. Their econon>ic policies havn proven wrong, their U'aderfhip has blundered and faile.d, ard ignorance and prejudice had al ready stained their legisiati^^n, • • # • • • Means highf'r prices and greater demand for grains.

The price that the .American producer paid for the privilege of livir.g under the new tariJf i.^ one million dollars a day more of foreign competi tion for him to face in the market of thj United States. According to "0v» ernment .statistics there was an increase in value of forei^;n goods, hrous:ht into the United States of twenty-six rrtil’i'on dollars a month, or one niiJIiofv dollars a day for every working day of the month.
