WAS falling. but there at the crossing
was il tiny boy plying his broom and
asking aims. One of the two was
man who never could resist such an
appeal. He stopped to question the
child. How came he to be there at so
late an hour, seemingly SO friendless
and destitute? The boy answered that
he was. as he seemed, utterly desti-
tute. He had walked to London from
q town on the south coast.

The INTERNATIONAL CANVASS.

1t begins to look as though Mr..
Lindsay is going to have rather
smooth sailing for the gubernatorlal
nomination at the republican state
convention which will be held in this
city next month. In fact, it does not
appear at this time that the gentleman
from Dawson is going to have any
opposition for the honor.
of course, the Helena Independent.
and the other newspapers in the state
owned by multi-millionaires will dis
pute that Mr.. Lindsay is cutting some
ice in a political way, but the fact
remains that he is more than holding
his own in the early skirmishes, not
withstanding the opposition of the
democratic press of the state.
On the democratic side, as far as
a nomination for governor and lieuten-
ant governor is concerned, the mat
ter has become a cut and dried affair.
Governor Toole only has to say the
word to secure his own denomination
and the word is passed along the line
that Secretary of State Hays would
be an acceptable running mate on the
ticket for lieutenant governor.
,Goyernor loole does not want to
serve the state another term in the
K capacity of governor and will only &C
cept the nomination conditioned that
if the democrats carry the legislative
,ticket that he shall be named as sue
scessor to Senator Gibson at Washing
ton. That little arrangement would
place Mr.. Hays in the governors
chair, providing the party of Roosevelt

Following the announcement that
the Burlington railway had pooled its
interests with the Northern Pacific in
the matter of handling freight in this
city comes the word that the Hill
tactics have Oeen applied in other di-
rections in the affairs of the Burling-
ton road.
On the main line there has beer a
general reduction of trackmen ard in
most instances along the line in Mon
tana and Wyoming the force on the
first of August vas reduced to less
than one-half its former size.
But the pruning knife along the
main line Of the road was not as eff.
fective as it was on the trackmen on
the Toluca-C Cody branch. On the latter
line every common laborer was dis
charged on the first of the month and
half of the section foremen were
given their final time checks.

CONSISTENT PROTECTION.

A correspondent of Harper's Week
ly writes from Philadelphia some sug-
.gestive comment on the tariff plank
of the republican platform. The plank
contains the statement that "protec.
ton which guards and develops our
Industries is a cardinal policy of the
republican party. The measure of
protection should always at least equal
the difference in the cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad This cor
respondent calls attention to the fact
that no distinction is made here as
to whether protection should apply to
articles which are produced at less
cost at home than abroad or only to
those produced here at greater cost.
Manifestly a great many articles are
produced at less cost here than abroad,
SO that if it is the theory of protec-
ton that the tariff shall simply pro-
vide for that difference when the cost
is greater at home than abroad, it
would seem to be natural that when
the cost is less, no protection what.
aver should be provided. And. yet
we know that 9 great many things
are exported because they can be
produced in this country cheaper and
better chan they ~ abroad. which
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-08-05

ton of the country. He not only knows
the national leaders of the party, but
he knows the state leaders also, and
in nearly every state he has detailed
information regarding factional differ
ences and the conflicting ambitions of
men, and knows just whom to go to
for all sides of any given situation.
It is 0 said that perhaps no chair
man of a republican national COM
mittee ever entered upon h dis
charge of the duties of that office as
we'll prepared as Mr.. Cortelyou. Han
ma, in 1896, and other national chair
men, Quay, Carter. Clarkson, ct al,
were in the beginning, tyros in com
parison with him, so far as the o
try as a whole is concerned.
This brief Cortelyou summary
ought to be good reading for republic
cans as the campaign is about to
begin. 1t will revive courage and
confidence in many places, and show
that the president knew better wha1
he was about than some of us were
; inclined to give him credit for, wher
, he turned down the mere politician
, and entrusted the management Of his
campaign for election and the fate o.
the republican organization to this
: man. It will appear more and more
; as the campaign progresses that the
) choice was q wise one.
Condo Hamlin Of Minnesota is ont
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-08-05

are not on the free list. 1t, therefore,
seems to be quite important to know
what protected articles are produced
at higher cost in this country than
abroad and what articles are produced
at less cost. A tariff may be levied
upon articles produced at less cost in
this country than abroad, but that
should be done for revenue and not
for protective purposes.
The point made by this correspond
ent suggests strongly the necessity for
an examination OF our protective tar
ifs from time to time with a view
to ascertaining whether they are af-
fording protection equal to the diff
ference in the cost of manufacture at
home and abroad only when the cost
at home is. greater, or whether they
are also bestowing a bonus upon arti-
cles manufactured at less cost at home
than abroad. Such bonuses certainly
are not consistent with the theory of
protection if the theory of protection
is correctly stated in the platform.
Another fact to be noted in this
connection is that, where the tariff
discriminates in favor OF an article
manufactured at less cost at home
than abroad, and that article becomes
necessary to the production of some
other protected product, the discrim-
ination in favor of the first so oper.
ates as to increase unnecessarily the
measure of protection imposed in ia
yor of the second product; in which
case the protection afforded the first
works an immediate and distinct dis
advantage to the secondary industry,
so to speak, and in this way perpetu-
ates and increases the heavier bur
den of cost which must be borne by
the domestic consumer. A careful and
conscientious revision of the tariff
will develop the facts in cases of this
nature and secure a more reasonable
and fair adjustment. At the present
time, when our export trade of manu-
featured products is so large, anG
when it is manifest that many arti
cles can be manufactured at home
cheaper than they can be made abroad
many of which are favored by a lib
eral measure of protection, the mai
who resists careful inquiry into thu
workings of the tariff is not willin!
