Mckinley on Protection,

If the policy Of protection is not to be
just in its application and national in
its scope, based upon broad principle,
then the sooner it is relinquished the
better. 1t cannot be sustained and ought
not TO be for one class or interest or
section and denied TO others equally
within the contemplation of its purpose.
The raw materials class have rights
which cannot be ignored. Those who
think otherwise forget that the advanced
product is only the manipulation of the
less advanced, and the less advanced of
the still less finished product, with hu-

PROTECTION is AMERICAN.
Our Prosperity Rests on the Perpetuity Of
Industrial Independ

The strife between nations for fnan-
cial supremacy will never cease, and
the tale of commercial progress is the
continued tragedy of the ages.
Nations, like men, are selfish in so
far as they follow heavens first law
that of self preservation. The fortifica-
tion of our power in time of war and of
our prosperity in time of peace rests in
the perpetuity of our industrial indie
pendence.
Among these confederated states there
is and should be free trade, for our peo-
pie owe allegiance to one common flag,
are subject TO the demands of a common
system of law, are united in the accom-
plishment Of Il common purpose and are
trending toward a common destiny.
The bonds Of national patriotism
create mutual obligations between the
different sections of this union. These
obligations are regarded or disregarded
as the representatives from the states
vote for or against the protection of the
industries of each from foreign compe-
tition.

teenth century or in the dawn of the
new century, that will, we trust, find
