The Special Plea For Free Raw
Materials.

Nhile their organs and orators
are repeating the Presidents later
assurance that he and his followers
are not engaged in a crusade of
free trade, it will not do to over
look the tactics by which they
assail the policy of protection.
These, like their arguments, will
be found to emanate from the
! Golden Club, whose patron saint
advised that in assailing the
protective policy some one point
supposed TO be most vulnerable
should be singled out. as, when
this was gained, further conquest
would be the easier.
Following this advice of Mr..
Golden, the President and his
assistants have selected as the
point of their attack what they
designate, but omit to define, as
as the raw materials of n1anufac-
turing" and by argument, special
pleading, Misrepresentation, and
evasion, appeal for recruits to the
ranks of tariff reformers. The
more conservative of them profess
willingness to concede a moiety of
protection to manufacturers, pro-
vided the materials used therein
are put on the free list. The
significance Of this concession
becomes the more apparent when
the attempt is made to determine
what shall be denominated raw
material ii the two most important
industries-wool and iron Where
shall the raw material line be
drawn in either Of these Industries?
The farmer grows the wool. His
raw material is naked land, in
t'lling which he must call to his
aid the finished products Of a
long list Of manufacturers mach
inery, wagons, harness tools
and after feeding crops raised by
aid of these he turns out wool as
his finished product. This in
turn is the raw material fofS the
cloth manufacturer, whose finished
product becomes the raw material
for the merchant tailor. So with
iron, beginning at the ore bed, and
following through the processes
Of digging, transportation, smelt-
ing, rolling, refining, and into the
thousand products of advanced
iron and steel manufactures. The
finished products of each III turn
becomes the material for more
advanced manufacture by the
other, and by reason Of such fact
falls under the ban Of the revenue
reformer.
No further Illustration is needed
to discover the tactics of the free
trade promoters. Their demand
fof " free fdW material once
conceded, that convenient phrase
VIII be used to swell the free list
into dimensions beside which the
Mills bill will appear diminutive.
This plea fer raw material is no
more candid than other tactics of
free trade emissaries. Their real
object is the complete overthrow
Iof the policy Of Protection to
Home Industries and opening our
markets TO unrestricted competi-
ton, and this the more candid Of
them have frequently admitted.
The markets Of the United
States belong to our own people;
and no change should be allowed
in our tariff laws which will in
any wise impair the advantages
guaranteed to American citizens
over alien competitors. This is
both patriotism and sound busi-
ness policy.

IT is suggested that the demo crats make the best of bad situu- ton and proceed at once upon the reassembling of congress to admit to statehood those terrltorles hay Ing the strongest claims-say, Da- kota Washington, Montena and New Mexico.
