Certain great trusts or great corpora
tions are wholly unaffected by the tariff.
Practically all the others that are of any
Importance have as matter OF fact
numbers of smaller American competi-
tors; and of course a change in the tariff
which would work injury to the large
corporation would work not merely in
jury but destruction to its smaller COM
petitors; and equally of course such a
change would mean disaster to all the
wage workers connected with either the
large or the small corporations. From
the standpoint Of those interested in the
solution Of the trust. problem such a
change would therefore merely mean that
the trust was relieved Of the competition
of its weaker American competitors, and
thrown only into competition with for
eign competitors; and that the first effort
to meet this new competition would be
made by cutting down wages, and would
therefore be primarily at the cost Of
Labor.
s, In the case of some Of our greatest
trusts such a change might confer upon
them positive benefit.
Speaking broadly, it is evident that the
changes In the tariff will affect the trusts
for veal or for woe simply as they affect
I the whole country. The tariff affects
| trusts only as 1t affects all other interests.
It makes all these interests, large or
! small, prof1table; and Its benefits can be
| taken from the large only under penalty
! Of taking them from the small also.
Revision Must Be Weighed. =
| To sum up, then, we must as people
approach matter of such prime economic
| Importance as the tariff from the stand
! point Of our business needs. We can not
| afford to become fossilized or to fail to
recognize the fact that as the needs Of
! the country change 1t may be necessary to
| meet these new needs by changing GER
| tain features of our tariff laws. Still less
| can we afford to fail to recognize the
further fact that these changes must not
! be made until the need of them outweighs
! the disadvantages which may result; and
when 1t becomes necessary to make them
| they should be made with full recognition
| of the need of stability in our economic
system and of keeping unchanged the
principle Of that system which has now
become a settled policy in, our national
| life. We have prospered marvelously at
| home. AS nation we stand in the very
! forefront in the giant international in
dustrial competition Of the day. We can
not afford by any freak of folly to forfeit
the position to which we have thus trium-
! phantly attained.

tinue to grow just so long as we keep up
this high average Of individual citizenship
and permit 1t to work out its own saliva
tion under proper economic legislation.
: The present phenomenal prosperity has
been won under tariff which was made
in accordance with certain fixed and def
mite principles, the most =. important Of
which is an avowed determination to
protect the interests Of the American pro-
ducer, business man, wage worker, and
farmer alike.
Foundation Of the Tariff Policy.
The general tariff policy, to which, with
out regard to changes in detail, I believe
this country is irrevocably committed, is
fundamentally based upon ample recog-
milton of the difference between the cost
of production-that is, the cost Of labor
here and abroad, and Of the need to see
to it that our laws shall in no event afford
advantage in our own market to foreign
industries over American Industries, to
foreign capital over American capital, to
foreign labor over our own labor. ..
This country has and this country needs
better-paid, better educated, betterfed
and better clothed workingnen, of a high
er type, than are to be found in any for.
eign country. It has and it needs higher
more, vigorous, and more prosperous type
of tillers of the soil than is possessed b!
any other country. The business men
| the merchants and manufacturers, ant
the managers Of the transportation inter
ests show the same superiority when com
pared with men of their type abroad. TIL
| events Of the last few years have showl
how skillfully the leaders Of American in
dustry use in international business com
petition the mighty industrial weapon
forged for them by the resources of ou
country, the wisdom Of our laws, and tn
skill, the inventive genius. and the admin
istrative capacity Of our people. - !:
A Policy Above Parties.
1t is, of course, mere truism to sa
that we want to use everything in ou
power to foster. the welfare of our entir
body polite. @.

A nation like ours could not long stand
the ruinous policy of readjusting its busi-
ness to radical changes in the tariff at
short intervals, especially when, as now.
owing to the immense extent and variety
of our products, the tariff schedules carry
rates of duty on thousands Of different
articles. Sweeping and violent changes in
such a tariff, touching so vitality the in
terests of all Of US, embracing agricul-
ture, labor, manufactures and commerce
would be disastrous in any event. and
they would be fatal to our present we'll

principle Of the protective tariff was to
be abandoned. The business world, that
is the entire American world, can not

welfare, even to consider the advisability
Of abandoning the present system s

From every standpoint of wise and en-
lightened home and foreign policy the
ratificat ton of the Cuban treaty marked
a step Of substantial progress in the
growth Of our alton toward greatness at
home and abroad =
Philippine Tariff Reduction.
Equally important was the action on the
tariff upon products of the Philippines.
We gave them reduction of 25 per cent,
and would have given them a reduction of
f 25 per cent more had it not been for the
& opposition. in the hurried closing days OF
& the last session, of certain gentlemen Who
by the way have been representing them
q selves both as peculiarly solicitious for
Il the interests of the Philippine people and
as special champions Of the lowering
of tariff duties. -
There is distinctly humorous side to
4 the fact that the reduction of duties
which would benefit Cuba and the Philip
pines as we'll as ourselves was antagon-
lied chiefly by those who lin theory have
been fond of proclaiming themselves the
advanced guardians of the oppressed ma
tionalities in the islands affected and the
ardent advocates of the reduction of
duties generally, but who instantly took
violent ground against the practical steps
Ito accomplish either purpose.
Moreover, a law was enacted putting
anthracite on the free list and completely
removing the duties on all other kinds Of
coal for one year,.
Prosperity and Its Reasons.
We are now in a condition of prosperity
unparalleled not merely in our own his.
tory but in the history of any other ma:
tion. This prosperity is deep rooted ant
stands on firm basis because it is dut
to the fact that the average American
has in him the stuff out OF which victor
are made in the great industrial contest
OF the present day. just as in the grea
military contests Of the past; and becaus
he is now able to use and develop hi
qualities to best advantage under on

must consider the question Of changing the
law as q while or changing any given rates
OF duty: butA-we must remember that
whenever even q single schedule is con-
sidered, some interest will appear to de-
mand a change In almost every schedule
IN the law; and when 1t comes to upset
ting the schedules generally, the effect
upon the business interest of the country
would be ruinous.
Tariff Revision Not "a Trust Cure.
One point we must steadily keep In
mind The question of tariff revision,
speaking broadly, stands wholly apart
from the question of dealing with the
trusts.

Tariff Revision Not Trust Cure.

No change in tariff duties can have
any substantial effect in solving the
so-called trust problem.
The Minneapolis journal., 1903-04-06

In other words, we need to treat
the tariff as a business proposition,
from the standpoint Of the interests
of the country as a whole, and not
with reference to the temporary needs
of any political party. 1t is almost as
necessary that our policy should be
| stable as that it should be wise.
