PROSPERITY DUE TO EUROPE'S WAR ORDERS DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS OF PUTTING AMERICAN INDUSTRY ON ITS FEET DISPROVED BY FIGURES UNDERWOOD TARIFF LAW WAS TURNING BALANCE OF TRADE AGAINST US BEFORE CONFLICT BEGAN Emboldened by their unchallenged assumption that the democratic administration has brought whatever degree of prosperity this country is now enjoying, the democratic national committee now expressly asserts that the democratic party has overcome the period of depression and has placed American industry on its feet again. That committee has just issued a large bulletin across the top of which is printed in large letters, Democracy Brings Era of Unexemplified Prosperity. A similar claim was made by President Wilson in his Jefferson day speech, when he said: "We have turned the thoughts and the energies and the conquering genius of the business men of America to the great field of the business of the world at large." These two assertions raise an issue of fact—an issue which can be determined by an almost conclusive mathematical demonstration. Was it the democratic party that brought a temporary return of prosperity? Was it the democratic party that turned industrial conditions is the balance of trade. While there are other factors that very materially affect financial conditions, the balance of trade most nearly reflects the condition of productive enterprise. We present herewith a brief table showing the monthly balances of trade of the United States beginning with October, 1913, when the Underwood tariff law was enacted, and covering a period of 14 months, from which it will be seen that at the time the Underwood law was enacted the monthly balance of trade was largely in favor of the United States, but it steadily diminished until in April, 1914, the balance of trade was against us and continued against us until September, one month after the outbreak of the European war: | Month | Excess | Excess | | :--- | :---: | :---: | | Oct. 1913 | $138,976,158 | ... | | November ... | 97,333,856 | ... | | December ... | 48,900,194 | ... | | Jan. 1914 ... | 49,713,394 | ... | | February ... | 25,948,408 | ... | | March ... | 4,736,280 | ... | | April ... | $11,345,606 | ... | | May ... | 2,476,896 | ... | | June ... | 457,406 | ... | | July ... | 5,538,344 | ... | | August ... | 19,398,776 | ... | | September ... | 16,247,722 | ... | | October ... | 56,630,650 | ... | | November ... | 79,411,271 | ... | | December ... | 130,976,013 | ... | From that time forward the monthly balance of trade in our favor steadily increased until it reached more than $200,000,000, unparalleled in the history of this or any other country. In order to show of what our increased export trade was made up, we present herewith figures showing the exports of commodities used in war for the first twelve months after war orders began to come in, compared with a corresponding period before any war orders were filled, from which it will the war, American ing in Europe summed up $300,000,000 to $350,000,000 constituting all we had practically income.

The three tables presented above demonstrate two things: First, that as a result of democratic tariff legislation, a balance of trade was changed to a balance of trade against us, thus showing that instead of other nations sending their money here to buy the products of American labor, we were sending it abroad to buy the products of foreign labor, discouraging our own industries and building up the industries of foreign lands; and, second, that the outbreak of the European war created an enormous abnormal demand for our products—a demand coming from the nations at war and chiefly for products essential to the maintenance of armies. The democratic party had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of this abnormal market. The figures presented above apply only to foreign trade conditions. There are other and perhaps no less important factors which have been very materially influenced by the outbreak of the war and not in any sense influenced by democratic administration. For instance, prior to the outbreak of E. J. Marks or automobile for Rev. J. A. Stevens what his profit was known. The Steve been seen in San Francisco disposed of by Went owner has now. Weaver came to December from San Francisco from which instituted paroled. He was sent sentence there for result of the theft in Sacramento over years old and gave nativity as Pennsylvanian.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1916 the war, American tourists were spending in Europe sums estimated at from $300,000,000 to $500,000,000 annually, this constituting a net outgo for which we had practically no corresponding income. The outbreak of the war not only shut off this expenditure, but induced American citizens to spend a corresponding sum at home, thus helping to revive American industry and give employment to American labor. Again, prior to the outbreak of the European war, as everybody knows, large amounts of American stocks and bonds were held by foreign investors to whom we paid interest and dividends amounting annually to many millions of dollars. So great was the amount of these securities held abroad that when the war broke out there was fear of the dumping of these securities upon the American market and our stock exchanges were closed. Upon the reopening of the stock exchanges more than a billion dollars worth of these securities were returned to us and bought by American investors who now collect the interest and dividends and spend the proceeds at home for the development of American industry and the employment of American labor. Furthermore, prior to the outbreak of the war, ocean transportation under the American flag was at a minimum, but since that time, because of the protection they would receive, many ships have been placed under the American flag and have purchased their supplies in America and had their repairs and improvements made in American ship yards. Not only have these factors contributed in an enormous measure to the revival of American industry as a direct result of the outbreak and continuance of the war in Europe, but the labor situation has been very radically affected to the advantage of American workmen.

Notices also were sent out Monday calling in all of the county money not drawing the necessary 2 per cent interest. The money must be in the hands of the county on or before Monday, June 19th, in order that it may be counted before the following day, which has been set by the court as the date for making the change in the bondsmen for Mr. Joplin. Santa Ana bankers are now on his bond, but since it has been decided to call in the money they have asked to be relieved. The bond will now be furnished by Attorney J. C. Burke, representing the National Surety company. TALBERT TO VOTE AT BOND ELECTIONS $55,000 Wanted for the Newbert Protection District Talbert is preparing to vote on two important bond elections, one on June tict and the other July 1 for the Talbert drainage district. The Newbert district will rebuild the old trowel dredger, widen the outlet into the ocean and do other necessary repair work if the bonds carry. The Talbert district will pay for the new dredger and all expenses connected with the putting in of the pipe line through the outlet and the remainder will be used for repairs. The work of extending the pipe line through the outlet into the ocean has begun and is being carried on each evening after the lowering of the tide. The tide comes in so strong during the day it makes night work altogether necessary. The trowel dredger, property of the Newbert protection district, will be re-built at once. The work will be done near the Meyers bridge and preparations for the work are now going on, some of the material necessary being hauled to that point. Those who predicted a greater year for the San Diego exposition in 1916 than during 1915, are having their innings.

Weaver entered the employ of a Santa Ana garage about three months ago and made quite an impression as a salesman of second hand cars. He was given practically free reign in this work, and it is believed forged a few contracts and turned in only a part of the money on these sales. The total sum that Weaver secured in this way is not known. Last week City Attorney E. J. Marks bargained for a new Auburn automobile for $1150, and old Patterson machine to be turned in for $600. Marks states that Weaver told him he was a partner of Charles L. Davis, a garage owner of Santa Ana, which is not and never has been true. Marks gave Weaver a check for $550, making it out to Weaver. Marks afterward went to a bank in Fullerton with Weaver and had the check cashed. Weaver drove from there to Whittler in the Patterson car, which was left in a garage there. No trace of him since he left the garage at Whittler has been secured.
