in to witness the exercises and
everybody was expected to do his

Sixty years ago men might have had

Of eheltering domestic industry behind

the American who should venture to
question that policy now has placed
upon him the arduous task of trying to
account for the fact that the most high

at all. has acquired the first place
among the nations engaged in such in
dustry and is today the most self de-
pendent and self contained. the richest
and the most prosperous of any,
In truth. the conditions now existing
in the United States supply demonstra-
tion so complete of the fact that protec-
tion was best for us at any rate if not
for other peoples that there is no reason
for wonder that the most vehement Of
the British free trade propagandists
should begin to doubt If Mr.. Golden
was right after all. Philadelphia Tex

holds that court interference was not

not being political party in the legal

was made outright. Crittenden county
refused to make any appropriation
and this sum set aside by the court is
to be supplemented by private sub
