Great Fortunes Not Made in Protected
Industries.

No argument is more constantly dinned into
the ears Of our people by Free Trade dsma,
and none appeals more strongly 10
Ignorant and preIudiced minds, than the ssser-
tion that Protection is responsible for great
Accommodations Of wealth and It's concentration
Into the hands of a few men. Yet no argument
has less basis In fact. The following is a list OF the
ten weslthiest men in the United States, together
with the business or industry in which their
wealth has boon acquired:
william Waldorf Aston, real estate Jay Gould
railroads, telegraphs, aud speculation: John d.
Rockefeller, oil; Cornelius Fanderbilt, rail-
roads; William X. Vanderbilt, railroads; Henry
NJ. Flagler, oil; John ]. Blair, railroads and
Russell Sage. railroads and specula-
ton; COLTS 2. Huntington. railroads; William
Rockefeller. oil.
Without an exception, these fortunes have
been amassod b. mon engaged In occupations
not In any way protected-occupatlOns that have
no more come :tiOn with the Tariff than with
the spots on the sun. The rapid multiplied
ton OF wealth is the natural result OF the develop
ment Of our country's resources, IN which deyel-
.opment of railroads and telegraphs have played
a prominent part. and the effect Of which has
been to greatly augment the value OF real estate,
1t il nothing but pure demagogy which would
make Protection responsible.

|cents; In 1871 the same service cost * cents a

average season rate on coal from Buffalo TO
and Superior in 1920 was 1914 cents per

Der 10, 1891, to the close of navigation, coal was
carried from Buffalo to Duluth. . distance OF a
thousand miles, for 10 cents per ton. In 1891
tho rate on coal by lake from Buffalo 10 Chicago
during the entire season was from forty to
sixty cents per ton. and the average season

Who Are the Free Traders?

But who are our free tradersi They are not
found much among our industrial classes, GER,
tainiy not among our workingmen and pro-
ducers. They are composed Of pro-slayery theo-
rists, who can never forget what they learned
before the war; doctrinaires aud dreamcrs, who
have a supreme contempt for facts and prac.
teal results; foreign importers, who can see
nothing beyond their own personal gains; news
papers which are the subsidized attorneys of
foreign manufacturers and merchants; the
Golden Club representing British interests and
caring IAthing for the welfare of our people or
the honor and glory OF our country, and the pro
British Democracy.

whose Intelligent labor makes the wealth and

Yes; the dnishcd product is actually shipped
