Popularity Of Protection.

The natural impulse of our
people is for Protection. Every
election in which the issue has
been distinctly made between free
foreign trade and protection for
domestic industries has proven
that the demand for the former is
the voice of a minority, and that
maintenance of the latter is the
fixed determination of the majority
of American voters. Even that
branch of the fitch congress
which, under the guidance of
selfish leaders, suicided by passing
the Mills bill, went up from the
people with a majority committed
to Protection. A knowledge Of
these facts will account for the
inconsistent pleas of those who
still find it for their interest to Join
with foreigners in the demand for
lowering the barriers to the impor-
tatlon of foreign products.
Ignoring the fact that larger
fortunes have been made in this
country by those who distribute
goods than by those who manu-
facture, these free trade attorneys
seek to incite prejudice against the
latter and gain votes for a policy
intended to enlarge the profits of
manufacturers in other lands.
The inconsistency, the outrageous
injustice of this, voters are expect
ed to overlook in their anxiety to
get cheaper goods-cheaper
because made where labor can be
had for less money than it costs
here. Protection discriminates in
favor of the American manufac-
turers who gives employment to
domestic workmen and keep the
profits from his business in this
country where it is made to
contribute to the public good.
Free trade discriminates in favor
of the alien manufacturer who
employ alien labor, the profits
from which go to the enrichment
of a foreign nation. Which
is most directly in line with
patriotism and sound business
principles?

Somebody, or some committee,
ought to have authority to exer-
else some sort of censorship over
bills introduced in congress.
Among the avalanche of measures
poured into the House and Senate
particularly the former, during the
past week, are hundreds of bills
that it is a sheer waste of public
money to print. Besides the
foolish and absurd bills, intro
duced generally to get rid of some
cranky constituent, there are
duplicates or almost duplicates, of
the interesting and really impor-
tant measures. IF somebody
would take the trouble to figure
up the cost to the government Of
these useless bills I am certain the
amount would be astonishing, and
that some method Of stopping the
needless expenditure would be
speedily discovered.

The New Election Law.

A question has arisen as to the
validity of the new election law,
for the reason that it makes no
provision authorizing persons who
are unable to read and write to
receive assistance in marking their
ballots. 1t is contended that this
class of persons are voters under
the constitution, and that an act of
the legislature cannot deprive
them of a right granted by that
instrument. The section of the
law which authorizes a voter to
receive aid in marking his ballot is
as follows:
Any voter who declares under oath
to the presiding officer of elections
that by reason of physical disability he
is unable to mark his ballot, shall, upon
request, have the assistance of one or
two of the election officers in the
marking thereof, etc.
1t appears from this that a voter
who cannot read and write must
either take the chances of marking
his own vote without direction
from others or not vote at all.
But it does not follow that he is
denied a right given him by the
constitution. 1t is the fault or the
misfortune of the voter, not of the
law, that he has not qualified
himself to comply with its require
mentS.
The constitution, by providing
that voting shall be by ballot,
seems to imply that a voter must
be able to read and write. It
leaves the regulation of the details
of election to legislation. It
makes no provision for helping
the illiterate voter. Hitherto
ballots have always been merely a
convenience. The voter has been
at liberty to write his own ballot
and put it in the ballot box. No
body has been required to write or
print a ballot for the illiterate voter,
or to read one for him. He has
had to take his chances of finding
some one to select his ballot for
him. He voted it without any
positive knowledge that it was the
ballot he desired to put in the box.
If every voter who could read and
write had refused to help the
illiterate voter in selecting his
ballot, the constitution would not
have been violated. No right
would have been denied him, con-
ferred on him by the constitution.
The constitution does not say that
ballots shall be prepared and read
to voters, it only requires that
voting shall be by ballot, and it is
pretty clear that the illiterate man
is not we'll prepared for voting by
that method. If he wishes to
vote he should qualify himself.
There is no more propriety in
providing by law for helping an
illiterate man to prepare his ballot,
than there would be in furnishing
wooden legs or crutches to one
who had lost his limbs in order
that he may be able to go to the
polls.
The constitutional provision will,
in our judgment, be satisfied if
every voter is allowed an oppor-
tunity to mark his ballot and
deposit it in the box. If he can
not mark it intelligently, he
simply demonstrates that he does
not possess the qualifications
which should characterize a man
who attempts to take part in the
government of the country.
Fortunately the number of litter
ate voters Is small and whether
