CAN WE COMPETE WI
EUROPE.
WITH


An examination of the evidence of
British manufacturers given before
the Royal Commission ON Depression
of Trade and Industry, quoted in
preceding cha piers, shows that the
chief complaint in England against
the Continent is because of the lon
ger hours and lower wages which
prevail there. 1t is fully demon
strated that the superior efflci-
ency" of British artisans has not
saved Great Britain, from an mum
dation of Continental goods. If the
Continent is able to supplant and
destroy industries in Great Britain,
as it is certainly doing, with lower
wages and longer hours, how then
would it be possible for the United
States to withstand the combined
Continental and British competition
when the wages paid to it's artisans
are still higher than those paid in
the United Kingdom?

TION AND PROSPERITY. "
Speaker Reed in his introduction
to "PROTECTIoN AND PRosPERITY. -
says: The book which Mr.. Curtiss
has written is unlike any other
which has been presented on the
subject in its method of treatment,
and in the width of range.
The calm and careful history in this
book of the protection system in
England which preceded the Golden
movement, and the history of the
Golden movement itself will go far
to rectify the false ideas which have
been so long prevalent, and if it con-
tanned nothing else will be worth
all the book will cost and all the
trouble of understanding the story
therein narrated. 4** This book is
also the story of how the nations
discovered that the best way to be
protected and prosperous was not to
leave things alone, but to use their
brains and make things better.
This book ives the history of
experiments tried all over the world
of the two systems and the results
which have followed. 1t teaches
what tha facts taaoh and nothing
more.

FREE TRADE ALMOST AT AN
END

END.
After the dismal failure of tariff
reform" of which we are now hav.
ing experience, it is scarcely neces-
sary to pursue the subject further.
The free traders have proven them
selves to be the most incompetent
and unreliable body that has been
entrusted with power since the gov
ernment was formed. Lacking the
capacity to govern, incapable of
comprehending the needs and wants
of the people, and unwilling to take
advise from the leaders of the Re.
publican party, who have afforded
them the greatest lessons in states
manship to be found in recent his
ory, their public career will be
short.
