Why They Kick.

at is" said a porter in a large
wholesale house to a LIGHT man,
"a custom for wholesale houses of
the city to close at u noon on
Saturday during the summer
months, and this rule is followed
this year. Most of the employers
have this advantage, but we, poor
porters, have to work until the
usual hour very day, and behind
closed doors. This, we think, is
unfair, and therefore we are kick
ing. 1t may be necessary for some
one to stay to supply emergencies,
say one clerk and one porter, and
if this were done, each taking a
Saturday in turns there would be
no kick, but to make all porters
work as usual on the Saturday
holiday we think is unfair, and we
are in the hope that our employers
considering this in a reasonable
way will at least let the porters
share in the Saturday holiday"

Calhoun, Washington and jefferson ws1s
Protection sta.

John C. Calhoun began his career "a o
protectionist, and favored the diffusion
and growth of manufactures throughout
all sections alike. He remained q stanch
pro~tectionist for many years, until he and
his followers OF the South began TO realize
that the interests of slave-buyers and own
ers, and of free, protected and well paid
labor were inevitably a~ntagonistic. That
reason, whatever influence it may nave
had then, ought to have no force now, for
slavery and the slave trade no longer have
a place in our civilization, and the inter
ests of one section of our common country
are exactly identical with the interests of
every other.
Washington, in his message of 1896,
urged upon congress the necessity of ac-
celebrating the establishment pTy'oertain use
full manufactures by the Intervention of
legislative aid and protection" Jeffer-
son in December, 1901, I'm his first message,
congratulated congress upon the revenue
derived from tariff duties and suggested
that there is now reasonable ground ot
confidence that we may safely dispense
with all internal taxes and rely for the
support Of the government Inc the pay
ment of the public debt upon tariffs"
In 1916 the first revenue or free trade
tariff was enacted. Henry Clay In 1923.
seven years after the adoption of this tar
iff, thus described the condition of the
country: .'The general distress which
pervadrs the whole country Is forced upon
us by numerous facts of the most incon-
testible character. 1t is indicated by the
diminished exports of native products; by
the depressed and reduced state Of our for
eign ~navigation; by on diminished COM

market; by the alarming diminution Of

most painful for me to dwell on the gloom

nothing. Perfect fidelity to the original

Colonel Thomas III. Benton's description
of the same period Is well worthy to bel
noted:

ness" This Is the business Endorsement
of thirty years of Republican rule. Now
mark the change! Says Dun's Review of
Trade for 1893:
Starting with the largest trade ever
known. mills crowded with work, and all
business stimulated by high hopes, the
year 1893 has proven in sudden s~hrinkage
of trade, in commercial disaster, and the
depression of industries, the worst for 80
years. Whether the final results Of the
panic of 1887 were relatively more severe,
the scanty records of that time do not
clearly show. The year closes with prices
of many products the lowest ever known,
millions of workers seeking liz vain for
work, and with charity laboring To
keep back suffering and starvation in all
our cities. All hope that the new year
may bring brighter days, but the dying
year leaves only a dismal record"
A Collapse of Industry.
The review of different departments of
trade given today exhibits a collapse of in
dustry and business which is almost with
out precedent. The iron industries sus

pounds in the same months last year.
Sales of cotton goods are fully o~ne-fourth
below the usual quantity. The small adj
vance attempted in boots and shoes q year
ago was not sustained, but with prices as
low as ever, the shipments of boots and
shoes from Boston are "a per cent lessthaD

featured goods as a whole, but the most
important farm products are so low that
farmers find little comfort. Official and
other reports deluded traders with the N
ton that crops of last year were so short
that famine prices could be realized"
The Relief Of the Wilson Bill.
To add to the perplexities of the situa-
ton under the menace of free trade, here
described, the Wilson bill, which recently
passed the house of representatives ut
Washington and Is now in the hands of
the senate, proposes ostensibly to reduce
the revenues SIC, 0O6, 600. The real decrease
would eventually, after we became more

History of the Tariff.
A Brief Review OF Legislation ON the
Subject In This Country.

a Brief Review of Legislation ON the
Subject In This Country.
Before considering this measure in detail
let us briefly review our tariff legislation.
1t is worth something to us all to know
what the founders of the republic thought
and did. 1t is inspiring to us to know
from history that our earliest legislation
upon economic questions was not manned
by sectionalism, nor framed upon geo
graphical lines, but was prompted by the
loftiest patriotism and marked by a ma
tional sentiment as broad as the country.
The first protective tariff law in our his.
tory, "a law that was approved by Wash
ington had for its author James Madison
of Virginia, known and revered as the
Father OF the Constitution" Among it's
| supporters and friends were such we'll
known Southern statesmen as Richard
Henry Lee, the friend and eulogist of
Washington: Charles Carroll of Carroll
ton, Abraham Baldwin and James Jack
son of Georgia, Theodore Bland and
John Brown OF Virginia, Hugh William
son and John Sewer Of North Caro-
lima, John Henry and Daniel Car
roll Of Maryland, George Read and John
Vining of Delaware, Ralph lizard, Thomas
Tudor Tucker and Thomas Sumter of
South Carolina. These men had, for the
most part, been soldiers Of the revolution,
and members of the convention which
framed the constitution. They held pro-
tective legislation to be essential TO our in
dustrial independence and progress-and
knowing something of the constitution
did not hold such legislation to be an In
fraction of that instrument.
A still more strongly protective law was
enacted in 1890, and it is a significant fact
that of the 80 votes given for the bill 81
were from the Southern, 13 from the Mid
die and 5 from the New England states.
It's advocates included most of the South
ern leaders already named, and James
Monroe Of Virginia. The early laws which
~inaugurated the policy of the government
had the approval of three presidents, all
from the South-Washington, Madison
and Monroe, OF the 10 votes against the
law Q were from New England, 8 from the
Southern and / from the Middle states. 1t
will thus be seen that we are largely in
debted to the South for the inauguration
and establishment of u protective sys-

or the entire sum received from customs
in the fiscal year. This reduction is made
upon the theory of the Democratic free
traders that it will relieve the people of
burdensome taxation. Whether it does or
not depends. But of one thing We are
certain: 1t has relieved the people of en-
ployment, of work, of wages, of prosperity
and of plenty, and some of them of their
homes. The blessings of good wages,g good
prices and good times are more to be de
sired than the proposed relief from so
called 'burdensome taxation" Such a
relief is no relief.
