Principle of Protection.

1.-THE long debates that were held In
other, generations about the rates OF
duty, whether the wall should be low,
enough to allow foreign merchandise to
flow over it or high enough to barely al
low 1t to leak over, or to be pumped
over, failed utterly to comprehend the
principle which has identified the doc.
trine of protection with the present day
miracles of our Industrial progress.
Protection, in the perfection of its de-
sign, as described by Mr.. Hamilton,
does not invite competition from
NOUS chapter on the tariff question in
its relation to the political revolution
of 1860, in twenty years Of congress,
but is based on the controlling principle
that competition at home will always
prevent monopoly on the part of the
capitalists, assure good wages to the
labo.er and defend the consumer
against the evils of eXtortion.'
THAT principle. which never failed to
Justify the doctrine of protection in any
period of the past, is today passing
thru an ordeal hardly even anticipated
when the tariff law of 1887 was placed
supor. the statute books. If one field OF
production after another passes under
the control of spectators intent on.
.nefarious schemes to engross the whole
market, the protection literature of Il
hundred years becomes misleading and
obsolete.
II have from the beginning been slow
to believe that 1t is possible for one man
or any combination of men to overrule
the forces which make for equality and
fair dealing in human society. For that
reason l have been willing to wait for
the facts and govern my Judgment by
a more careful observation than has
hitherto been practicable. The census
of 1900 has given an accurate ac-
count of the trusts and what they are
doing, and the daily reports of the
market place indicate what their pres
ent standing and future prospects ac-
tual!y are.
Trusts in Existence.
I'VE know that they are 1855 in num-
Der, representing the consolidation of
204O separate plants. We know that
less than 10 per cent of the factory
labor of the country is employed by
them, and only IA per cent of our man
ufactured output is made by Them and,
leaving out chemicals and the products
of iron and steel, the percentage is
hardly visible to the naked eye.
I'm the textile industries they are all
most unknown, and most OF the other
fields of American production they have
entered as mere intruders and disturb
ers of the peace
