One Of the most plausible prop

One Of the most plausible prop f
the free Understand one so plausible that
protectionists are sometimes captivated By
it's the proposition to put raw materials on
the free list. 1t appears plausible largely
because people are misled by the adjective
raw" To most people the idea conveyed is
of material In its natural state and condition,
and If this were the correct idea then the prop
ostion would not be merely plausible, but
entirely sound. But the raw material which
they actually refer to is not raw material, it
is simply rawer material. 1t is not the fin
ished product, and as contrasted with that it
Is raw material. But all of it has had some
thing done to it by labor If it be coal 1t has
been dug from the mine by labor. If it be
wool 1t has been sheared from the sheep by
labor. and 1t has required labor to rear the
sheep which bore it. The fallacy of putting
raw materials on the free list while the fin
ished product is protected appears evident
enough as soon as the nature of the so called
raw material is understood, for then we are
in the presence of the obvious and indefen-
sible Partially Of protecting one kind of
labor and refusing it to another kind of
labor just as worthy. If the man who digs
iron from the earth is not to be protected,
then the man who works it into bars and
rods ought not to be protected. Protection
is system. and only as system can it be
defended. 1t must protect all who are
threatened with the competition of under
paid labor abroad. or it must protect none.
The free trader understands this perfectly,
and when he argues for free raw material
he is arguing for something which he knows
will discredit protection. and for the reason
that 1t will discredit it. He understands
perfectly well that the weakening of link
In the chain, which would be the result
OF placing raw material ON the free list,
would be the destruction of the chain itself.

Mr.. pIneIey,s Tariff Speech.

1t Is abundantly evident from the effort
which Is being made by the free trade organs
OF Boston to break the force of Mr.. Dingley's
calculation of the Mckinley tariff bill in his
speech of Saturday night, that the speech
was very damaging to the contention of the
opponents of the bill that New England in
terests had been ignored in it. That has
been the favorite method of assault in the
East. Because coal and iron were not
placed upon the free list as some manufac-
turers desired, the free traders have held up
the bill as a measure inimical to New Eng
land and constructed purely for the benefit of
the WesS:--Ihis had beer issrstsA. and -xaii=
Grated so many times, that good many PEG
pie who are friends of the theory of protec-
tion had begun to believe it, and to regard
the bill as sectional measure. Mr.. Ding
ley's calculation of the ways in which the
bill helped New England was therefore a
welcome surprise to many protectionists as
well as very disagreeable disclosure to the
free traders who had been necessarily shout
ing that the measure ignored New England.
The points In which the bill will work to the
enhancement of New England's indu tries
are chiefly these as stated by Mr.. Dingley:
By large additions to the free list, of raw mate
rails necessities including, in addition to sugar
and molasses, iute, jute butts manila, sisal de-
gras, nickel ore, olive oil for manufacturing pur-
poses, and other lesser articles.
BY increasing duties on fine grades of cotton
goods, hosiery and underwear, and reducing du-
ties on coarse cottons.
By reducing duties on bar iron, structural iron
and steel rails.
By cTeasing duties on paper goods.
By increasing duties on all manufactures OF
fax, 1ute and hemp, with the exception of Irvine
and cOrdage.
By equallzing and putting on basis which does
not make values uncertain, the wool and wooden
goods schedule of duties
BY afordIng protection to manufacturers of
dressed granite.
By affordlng protection to the great fishing I'm.
tereSts Of Maine and Massachusetts,
By increasing duties on agricultural products
on behalf of the New England farmer.
Besides by removing the tariff on sugar the
bill will greatly cheaper one Of the necessa-
rles Of life.
In the face of this enumeration it cannot
be truthfully asserted that New England's
interests are ignored, and hereafter the free
trader who makes that assertion will make
it In defiance of the facts.

The faculty of the Maine Central Institute
at Pittsfield have done piece of work which
in the light of the recent events. at Harvard
entities them to praise. Hazlng has fallen
int disfayor in Maine colleges Of late years,
but occasionally a relic of barbarism crops
out and reminds us of the days of old when
the students ''ran" the colleges after their
own sweet will. Such an occurrence took
place at the Maine Central Institute recently.
The faculty said little. and for long time 1t
was thought that they proposed to let the
matter drop. Not so, however. The faculty
were only waiting to get hold OF the right
parties before they pronounced their judg-
ment. The crime was at last fastened upon
two of the seniors, who were notified that
they could have no diplomas when they
graduated. By one Of those freaks which it
is hard to understand, the other members of
the class sympathized with the offending
two and declined to take their graduating
parts unless the suspended members were
reinstated. The faculty refused to counte-
nance the wrong doing of the hazers in any
such manner and adhered to their position.
The unruly sentiment of the students pre-
vailed for time, but good sense came to
the rescue, and they consented to graduate
as the faculty directed. The faculty is to be
congratulated upon the position which they
took and the manliness with which they
stood up to it. The Harvard faculty will
merit the approval of all good citizens if they
follow the Maine colleges lead.
The Portland daily press., 1890-06-04

The Harvard faculty are meditating new
departure in the shape of the reduction of
the period of the college course from four
years to three. President Eliot fayors II.
and SO do several Ct the professors; on the
contrary about an equal number are strenu-
0usly opposed to it. The chief argument
offered In its favor is that the young man
now graduates much later in lite than was
formerly the case. with the result
of losing several years from active
business. If it be possible without
physical detriment to do the work
fn three years which Is now done In four the
change would probably be beneficial. but if
the reduction is to BIZ attended with a CORE
spending reduction in the preparation for
the business of life which the college man is
supposed to go to college for, then it is diff
cult to see where the gain will come in. OF
course many young men go to college who
would doubtless profit by cutting down the
period of the course to one year, because
their whole college course is wasted. but
these are men who ought not to have gone to
college at all.
