THE FIGHT NEVER STOPS
Work Of the American Protective
Tariff League.

Mr. Wilbur F. Wakeman. secretary of the
American Protective Tariff League, who Is
in town today, has been hobnobing with
republican politicians of prominence over
the coming campaign. Mr.. Wakeman's Or
gapization is the vestal virgin which keeps
the sacred flame of protection aglow be-
tween campaigns.
''The tariffs the thing in this campaign
said Mr.. Wakeman, to a Star reporter
today .It will be the greatest issue, no
matter how the free traders may squirm
and dodge and try to befog the main ques-
ton. The people will have to face the
proposition again this fail whether the
country is to continue in its era of pros
perity. under the protective tariff, or to
try once more the rejected nostrums OF
free trade.
"In my opinion, the people of this coun-
try more keenly alive today to the
benefits of protection than ever in their
history. For one thing. they have witness
ed the practical workings of the tariff, OBJ
served the results as compared with the
actua! results under democratic rule.
Now, the average man knows that the
country is prosperous and that he is en-
joying a share of the general prosperity
Perhaps there are many who do not pause
to trace the result to it's source-the pro-
tected tariff. 1t Is the province of the
American Protective Tariff League to keeI

perity is due to the tariff and that aban-
donment of our present economic system
will inevitably lead to disaster.
For fifteen years the league has beer
pounding the idea of protection into the
people. We work when campaign COM
mittees are out of commission.
I'VE keep everlastingly at it and I am
confident that we get results. Once man
gets fairly hold of the idea of protection
realizes the connection between prosperity
and protection. our work Is done with
that man. He is a republican on nationa
questions. but there are other men coming
along all the time and the campaign OF
education never ends"
