PROTECTION

The salvation OF the w~orkingmen OF
the country depends upon protection
to home industries, says the Wass-
iuyton Gazette. All this talk OF n
tariff for revenue only" means de.
struction to the independence of the
American workingmen. To-day the
laboriug man in this country gets
wages enough, is properly expended,
10 keep him and his family comfor,a-
ole. He does not and level will, here
or elsewhere, get enough pay to allow
him to ape the extravaganza of the
millionaire but be does get enough 10
live like a man-nota poverty-stricken
animal like pauper laborers Of Europe
and Asia. The sole cause Of his
condition is protection. What il the
MANUFACTURES make, each one, vastly
more money, than each workingmsn
receives, is il not better for the manu-
fscturer to grow rich and the work.
ineman live easily and comfortably,
than for the manufacturer to make
less money and the workingman be.
come practically a pauper? This is a
practical. not merely a theoretical sub
iect, and men should look at it in a
practical light.
The New York Sun in a short edito-
rial last Thursday puts the whole thing
in a nutshell, rs follows:
Free trade ear putting the labor
ing men of the world upon n level Of
competition.
Protection mean restricting the
competition among laborers 10 those
living in our w county, and the
consequence of such restriction il that
wages remain at a high level; whereas
if the competition Of all the labOrer.
in the world were allowed to operate
here, they would steadily fall to the
lowest level.
That Is the reason why the working.
men of this country are better paid,
are more prosperous, live in a better
manner. are better educated, and
bring up their children with more of
hope aud ambition than belongs 10
workingmen in any other country.
This Is why the wOrkipgmen of the
United States like the American sys-
tenn Of protection, aud dislike the Brit.
ish system Of free trade.
