He addressed himself to his class
etes, the teachers and the board on
half Of the class, and then launched
on discussion of the question
hich today occupies the attention of
American people, to say nothing OF
English. He said:
Protection, although a time-worn
bject, never grows old, and in view
the fact that it is now being dis
Rsed with increasing Yigor, it may
be Inappropriate for this occasion.
ptection differs from bounties and
bsidies in method, and from free
(de in principle. Protection is
Rnded on three great principles:
The interests of a nation require
hething more and different from
kt required by an individual.
The national interests demand a
fger number and a greater variety OF
Industries than the natural laws OF
ede will bring about.
A tariff on imported goods is a
Re and effective means of encourag-
B and preserving home industries.
a short explanation of the torego-
principles may be of some benefit
A nation should always be wider
ID broader than the individual.
Everyone recognizes the fact that a
tlon, to be prosperous, must look at
the interests of the people as a
pole and not as individuals. #
In new country it is hard to
llld up new industries because skill
q capital are always lacking.
,. by protection, a market for the
ods is insured, and the new indus
Les provide labor for many people.
Ihe increase of industries increases
wealth of nation and of its peo.
The home industries give employ.

We believe that protection is for the
od OF the nation and the good of the
ople. We also believe that this
untry without protection would sOOr

Aea&ing commercial nations.
