When two ladies' get into car together,

The other day pair of the dear creatures
hailed car at Broadway and Fourteenth
street, New York. They were laden with
small parcels, wrapped in Maoy's red star
paper, and were plainly just from shopping

and it was toward the upper end of the car.
They walked up to it together. Then they
stopped before it and both reached for a

Of his products, who are also. as rule, en-
gagged in Industrial pursuits. In every such
case the losses are precisely the same as If
competition had not been prevented and
prices had not been increased. but instead of
being borne by the individual who carries on
the business they fall upon the purchasers of
his products. and are paid out Of the earnings
of other industries. The other industries,
therefore. not only make good his loses. but
pay him profit besides, thus giving him
bonus for investing his capital and wasting
his skill and labor in an Improbable business.
That taxation for protective purposes has re-
suited so far in continuous waste OF capital
and labor in this country is conclusively
shown by the present condition Of the So
called protected industries. and by
the history of our legislation
on the subject. The early advocates of the
system proposed il only as a temporary ex-
pedient TO aid in the permanent establish
ment of certain industries, and insisted that
after few years of dependence upon the
bounty of government and people they would
be strong enough 70 stand alone and compete
successfully with their rivals. not only in the
home market, but in all others. Under the
influence of this argument the first protective
tariff was enacted in lS16. and vet. after sew
enty years have passed, many of the same in
dustries which then asked temporary assist

double the rates of duty then deemed suff-
Gent, ana lner dccreolteu committees ano

shall be indefinitely continued the industries
must cease to exist. According to their own
showing, the policy inaugurated nearly three
quarters of century ago for the purpose Of
rendering them Independent and self sustain
ing mas had exactly the opposite effect Its
constant tendency has been and is now to
impair their ability 10 compete with abe pro-
ducts of similar industries elsewhere, and TO
make them more and more dependent upon
bounties and special legislation for support.
