PROTECTION ARGUMENTS MET.
Trusts, Combined, Defeat the Very
object OF the Protection Theory.

1.-THE sole economic argument for n
protective tariff" said Colonel a, IL,
Bacon, of Brooklyn, In his recent
speech to the Travellers Club, us the
ultimate benefit to the consumer by
means of lower prices through aomes-
tic competition. The gigantic trusts
have combined domestic plants so MS to
defeat the very object of the tarln
under which they thrive, Prices are
Increased until Il shiphuildcr on the
Clyde can buy American steel plate
$40 ton cheaper than shipbuildcr
on the Kennehec, who row asks the
general Government for n subsidy
equal TO $40 n ton to make up the Diff
ference.
But says Il Republican President
n reduction OF the tariff would de-
Stroy the small manufacturers who
are stll infants and WHO bask In the
shadow of the giant trusts This ar
gumcnt Is too simple for children even.
The tarltf Is 10 protect against the
foreign competitor but the foreign
competitor must first destroy the larg-
est domestic manufactures before he
can get at the infants. The battle
must be wagcd between the giants,
for the foreign giant could not occupy
the home field without first defeating
the domestic giant; and, under this re-
cent argument, any man by investing
a thousand dollars In II steel plant,
fifty years from now could defeat the
reduction of the tariff, even though the
American Steel Trust was furnishing
It's product at every capital Of tho
world. No. tho moment ono domestic
firm becomes giant, Its very life de-
Ponds upon its lighting every foreign
foe, and 1t thus protects every infant
that coddlcs under It's shelter.
"'But, again say the orators: Amer
lean lahorers must not be reduced TO
the level of the pauper labor OF
Europe We are reminded OF the
traveller and his dog lost in the des-
crt. Starvation stared them In the
face. Tho Traveller cut Off the dogs
tail, roasted Il, ate the meat and
threw back the bone 10 the dog. This
represents the share of labor in the
tariff problem"

During the first two years of his in

Roosevelt continued his opposition TO
Addicks and Addicksisn, and used his
influence to bring about his overthrow.
He joined hands with the honest and
decent Republicans Of Delaware and
helped them to down" Addicks and

But how is it now? Does Roosevelt

BRYAN ANSWERS ROOSEVELT.
Presidents Charge Against Wilson
Tariif Act Proved UnIounded and
Absurd.

William ]. Bryan, in the COmmoner,
quotes from Mr.. Roos2ygl's letter of
acceptance as follows:
1T is but ten years since the last at
tempt was made by means Of lowering
the tariff TO prevent some people from
prospecting too much. The attempt
was entirely successful. Tho tariff Of
that year ds9H was among the cauacs
which in that year and for some time
afterwards effectually prevented any
body from prospecting too much and
labor from prospecting al all"
This statement is in line with the
declaration In the Republican National
platform for 1904 that "a Democratic
tariff has always been followed by
business adversely; a Republican tariff
by business prosperity"
Mr.. Bryan then proceeds 10 show
that neither the statement OF Mr..
Roosevelt, nor the declaration in the
RepuAcan platform Is justified by
history. AS a matter Of fact, says
Mr.. Bryan. every panic during the
last thirty years originated under Re
publican rule and developed n, Re
publican legislation.
The gold panics which gaze story

month Of September, 1869. whcl the

that panic did lot originate in 1891;
