Where Charity Should Begin and End.

Charity ought to begin at home if it
begins anywhere. But it is long
sight better not to have any call for
charity to begin at all. The better
way is for every one to have plenty Of
work at good wages and so be able to
pay for everything needed. This is
the way it has been with the Ameri-
can people ever since the enactment
of the Dingley law started up the
fires in the factories of the country
and gave to every man who wants it a
chance to work. There has been little
need for charity. The old charity
doing days of FreeTrade and free
soup houses have gone. The doctrine
of the protective tariff is not to begin
at home, or anywhere, with charity,
but to begin at home with the pro-
viding of work to those who want it.,
to see to it that the American people
are not robbed Of their chance to
work, and that the American market
is not given over to the products of
foreign labor, but is made secure as
the market for American products.
In this way there is an end put to all
need for the beStowal of charity on
any one who is able and willing to
work.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1900-03-15
Reasons W by.

Why should the Free-Traders be SO
anxious that we should secure an ''open
door" in China if, as they claim, under
a Tariff system the consumer pays the
tax? Are they SO wrought over the
woes of the inhabitants Of the Celestial
kingdom that it is to save them from
taxation that they are SO StrenuOuSly
demanding the ''Open; door,? There
does not seem to be any real good
evidence that it is pure, disintereSted
love for the Chinese which is actuating
them. We are forced TO the conclusion,
therefore, that down in their hearts
they know very we'll indeed that it is
more often the case, even under a
revenue Tariff, and tenfOld more the
case under Protective tariff, that it
is the foreigner and not the native
who pays the tax. Just as it is for
our advantage to have an ''Open door,
in China, so it is for the advantage of
other exporting nations to have an
open door in the United States. But
we are not working for the advance
ment of other nations, and so we pre-
fer to open our doors only SO far as will
be to our own advantage and not to
open them wide enough to let in any
trade which will work injury to
American industries or to American
labor. That is why we have Il Pro
tective tariff, and why we will con-
tinue to have Protective tariff.
