Manufacturers against the Tariff Bill.

manufacturerS Against tnS larfH Biii
One of the most striking indications
of the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of liberal sentiment
upon tariff matters is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers Association of the Unit
ed States Mr. \. 3. Farquhar, an ex-
tensive manufacturer of agricultural
machinery at York. Pa, is at the head
Of the movement.
It is well known that in the manu-
facture of agricultural implements and
machinery Americans are far in advance
of their competitors in any other land
and that the products of their factories
may be seen i'll the fields all over the
civilized world These people need NO
protection and are we'll able to take care
of themselves. All they ask is to have
uutaxed raw material, so that they will
not be placed at u disadvantage.
A great list of other industries are
practically i'll the same position and de-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection, 1t is also significant
that the manufacturers, i'll their petit
tion to the senate. declare that their
ability to employ American labor will
be greatly impaired by the passage of
the tariff bill. They ask that the Chi.
nese wall that is ObsGructing the foreign
trade and crippling American enterprise
shall be broken down.
The plea which has been used for
years by the protectionists - namely,
that protection is III the interest of
American labor--is shown by census
figures to be sham OF the 1000, 900
persons employed in manufacturing III
the United States it is shown i'll the Pc
titior that less than 100000 are EN-.
ployed in occupations subject to active
foreign competition and GIG, ,000 in
occupations subject to moderate for
eign competition. The remainder, over
1000. 900, do not come at all in cOmpe-
tition with foreign labor
1t is very plain that the Dingley bill
is not designed. any more than any other
high protective measure was designed
to protect American labor or to pro
duce revenues for the government 1t Is
designed primarily to protect the trust
and to foster monopoly.

cause little or none of the raw material

because the total sales being limited to

Tho First Botanic Gardens.

After the discovery of tho medical
properties of plants it must have fol-
lowed, Ill course of time, that represent
atiyes OF tho species to which remedial
properties were attributed should be col
lected and grown in some place conven-
iently and readily accessible, rs need do
manded. The last step did not immedi-
ately follow, however, since, among the
conditions which were earlier supposed
to influence tho potency Of medicinal
herbs, the locality i'll which grown and
the mysteries attending their collection
were of the greatest Importance. The
first authentic record of the introduction
of medicinal plants into cultivated
plots of ground dates no farther back
than tho time of the elder Pliny, 1919
A. D., who writes Of the garden of An
tonius Castor, at ZONE, in which wcro
grown q largo number of medicinal
plants. This step may have been taken
much earlier by tho Greeks, Chinese or
Mexioans, however.
Later the Benedictine monks of north
ern Italy paid great attention to the
growing of remedial herbs and devoted
an important proportion of the monas-
terry gardens to this purpose. This prac-
tice was also carried beyond the Alps.
and i'll 1920 Il garden was i'll existence
ut the monastery Of st. Gall, in SwitZer-
land, II few llilometcrs distant from Lake
Constance, which contained l6 plots oc-
cupicd By medicinal plants. A garden
of this character was founded in 1909 ut
Salerno and another i'll Venice III 1880.
In 1909 tho Bencdictine monks founded
an academy called "Civitas Hippocrat-
lea" ut Monte Casino, i'll Canpania,
which appears to the writer to be among
the earliest schools, if not the first
school, of medicine and established in
connection with it a physics garden. ="
