of a s.good one' on the editors in
"a speech before the Southeast

every editor of a secular paper in

preachers for their replies to Gov.

entirely out OF their sphere when

Manuracrurers Against the Tariff Di.l.


One Of she most striking indications
Of the growth of sentiment against high
protection and of a liberal sentiment
upcu tarIT matters is the movement
against the pending tariff bill by the
Manufacturers Association Of the Unit
eG states. Mr.. a. 8. Farquhar, an ex-
tsLSlva manufacturer OF agricultural
machinery at lork, Pa, is a. the head
Of the movement
1t Is we'll known that IN the mann
factGre of agricultural implements and
machinery AmerlcaIs are far Ill advance
Gf their competitors III any other land
and that the products Of their factories
may be seen IL the tieiCs all over the
civilized world These people need 10
protection and are well able 10 take care
of themselves. All they ask is 10 have
untaxed raw material, so that they viii
not be placed at a disadvantage.
a great list Of other industries are
practically III the same position and de-
sire free raw material more than they
desire protection. 1t is also significant
that the manufacturers, III their petit
tion TO tie Senaie. declare that their
ability TO ompioy American lator will
be greatly :,npalred by the passage @?
the tariff rlIl They ask that the Chi
nese wall that is obstructlng the foreign
trade and crippling American enterprise
shall be broken down.
The plea which has been used FOR
years by the pIo;ectiouistS - namely,
that protection is in the interest of
American labor-is shown by census
figures to be a sham. OF the 5000, 900
persons employed in manufacturing Ill
the United States it IS shown in the Pc
tition that less than 100000 are en-
ployed in occupations subject to active
foreign competition and $4,000 in
occupations subject to moderate for
elgu competition. The remainder, over
4. 900, 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 trusts
and to foster monopoly. baltimore

tween any two points in the union,
each State whose legislature represents
the people and not the corporations
should pass an act providing for a max
imum rate for kilograms of 10 cents
for 10 body words for a message be
tween any points in it's own borders,
and maximum annual rental for tele
phones of $12 at a residence and $18 at
an eff 20 or store.
This will Qst) give the people imme
date relief, as the large part of tele

and it will incidentally cause a reduc

lower rates and legislative control of

(2rd). It will reduce the exoEbitant
profits and salaries Of these overgrown

spending so much money in lobbying
and franks to prevent p~ostof1ce own

The power of State legislatures to reg
ulate the charges of teIegraphs and
telephones within the town limits is
we'll settled by the decisions of the
United States Supreme Court.
If the postohce was operated in the
public interest postal savings banks
and a parcel post would also long since
have become efficient parts of our post
Office system. They are so operated in
nearly every other civilized country,
to the profit Of the government and
the greatest benefit of the masses.
There being no risk of broken savings
banks, earnings r more generally de-
posted and the parcels post largely
saves the public from the high rates O.

We miscall this q government ''of

defects in u postChce management
shows beyond cavil or question that in
consideration of the benefit of the pub
lie we are far behind most other o
tries, even those making small preten-
tlOns to popular government. Taking
our postOmce department as a sample,
it could be said that ours is a govern

to bind themselves and their posterity
