ENOUGH OF PROTECTION.

If the trusts which have afflicted the
United States during the past three
years and fixed prices without the re-
hottest regard to cost of production have
not shown President Mckinley the fall
lacy in his protection doctrine he is hope
lessIy welded to his false gods.
The protection doctrine sounded wei!
when Mckinley. while Governor of Ohio,
thus enunciated il: Admit free of duty
all products that we cannot supply; put
such duties upon foreign products which
we might supply as will make it posi-
BILE TO produce them here, paying fair
wages to labor and insuring fair profits
to business, and impose such duties on
luxuries as will yield needed revenue"
His protection theory has lot worked
in practice. 1t achieved one object at
which IT aiDed-giying m%onopOlies in
the United States TO American manufac-
turers. 1t did more than this. 1t enabled
American manufacturers to suppress
competition, to squeeze the consumer
and TO put the small manufacturer out
Of business entirely.
Americans have come to think that
they do not need bOunties to enable
them to compete in their own markets
with foreign manufacturers. They have
had enough Of protection.

NEW OEEOMARGAaINE BILL
Substitute for the Grout Measure Is
Proposed.

WashinCton. May S-The OirOmargarine
question which has been the subject Of ey-
tended controversy before the Agricultural
of the House. reached a decisive
stage to-day when the subcommittee having
the measure in charge reported a substitute
for the pending GfQut bill.
The latter bill would be practically pro-
h~ibitory, taxing oleumargarine 10 cents a
pound. The substitute proposes additional
safeguards against the fraudulent sale Of
ulcumargarine as bntter. The main pTovi-
s.onS would be that oleomargarine and like
compounds should be put up in one and
two pound packages only; that each print
should have in large indented letters the
word "Oleomargarine" the print should
then be wrapped In paper bearing the print
ell word 'pleOnargarine': outside OF this
package. the revenue stamp should he
wrapped. Retailers would not be allowed
70 break packages or TO sell anything but
the original one or two pound packages.
The report was read 10 the fell committee
and consideration of IL went over until to-
morrow.
