s'The rule that should apply in fixing
the rates of protective duties is that
they should in all cases equal the diff
ference between the cost of production
and distribution, under normal condi-
tions, of the article in question in our
own and In that competing country
where the cost of production is lowest.

The state campaign is now under
way, and matters will warm up every

| George Willis is young man, com
paratively, but there is maturity in
the makeup of his ringing protective
speeches suggestive of close study and
consequent understanding of the propo-

Most young men, sons of noted faith
ers, are at discount by comparison
but the young voters who only know
Gov. Yates in history, give large place
to young Yates, and his ringing speech
es, marked by study, eloquence and gen
tlemanly bearing, create the wildes
enthusiasm.
