MIR. BABCOCK REPLIES.
Answers Criticisms IntrOductiO
of His Tariff Bill.


A special to the New York Tribune from
Milwaukee says: Congressman Joseph w.
Babcock, chairman of the republican con-
gressional committee, has replied to his
critics on the introduction Of his tariff bill
In q letter written from Marienbad, Aus
tria, to Mr. Taylor, editor of the South
western Wisconsin, published at Linden. In
Mr. Babcock's district. The letter is self
explanatory, as follows:
l am an ultra-rapublican and protection
ist. and have not changed my lifelong
views In the least. In introducing the bill
that l did l sought to cover such articles

States than in any other country The
charge that the bill is crude is true and

the ways and means committee. The fact
as to each item will then be brought out.

directed against that which I have not af-
firmed. On the contrary, I have no SYM
pathy with the democratic idea that the
duties should be removed from all trust
made goods, for that would be free trade
For instance. the greatest revenue pro-
ducer we have Is sugar. handled and con-
trolled by trust. but. inasmuch as protec-
ton Is necessary for the cane growers OF
the south and the beet growers Of the
north. the tariff should remain. The theory
Of republican protection Is and has been to
build up our own institutions by protecting
labor and material so that in the end we
might az q patton become industrially. as
we'll as politically, Independent Of the world
BY the practice Of this republican policy
we are today not only making all that we
consume Of many commodities. but also
are able to manufacture some for less than
any other people. So 1t has come to pass
that some articles, the like Of which years
ago we imported nearly all we consumed,
we can today produce and undersell the
world. Now. to the point; After we have
