The Republican controversy over Gu
ban reciprocity has again laid bare the
hypocrisy of the ultraprotectionists.
They oppose any concession to Cuba
or the ground that it would open the
way for an assault on the whole pro-
tectiye system. That system, there
fore. is to be maintained in its integ
rity at any cost-even at the sacrifice
of national honor In the case of Cuba.
But what becomes of the argument
adduced to support every new tariff
schedule, that it is to be 'only a tenn
porary measured" Give us the duty
for little while, has always been the
plea-just for short time, you know,
until the new industry gets on its
feet. But when anybody modestly sug-
gests thar the new industry is able TO
walk alone and tread the public under
its feet fearful cry goes up.--Kansas
