Massachusetts, which had hitherto sup
ported free trade, became through the
growth Of her manufactures more in
terestod in their protection than in the
general welfare He says, describing
the attitude of those two statesmen,
that, turning full and complete SOM
ersault, neither the one nor the other
was to blame" and adds that 1T is in
reality purely a business matter and
should be decided solely on grounds Of
expediency"
AS President Roosevelt was practi-
cally a free trader when he wrote the
life Of Benton and has been decidedly
tariff reforiner until a Snort time ago,
his effort to show that Benton and
Webster were not to blame was really
a defense Of his own full and COM
plete somersault' on the same impor-
tant issue. How he viewed protection
is clear, for on the next page he says:
political economists have pretty
generally agreed that protection is
vicious In theory and harmful in prac-
tice. But If the majority Of people
wish it, andit affects only themselves,
there is no earthly reason why they
should not be allowed to try the ex-
pertinent to their hearts content"
That President Roosevelt is now
candidate Of a party that favors and
has put into effect the highest pro
tectve tariff ever conceived by Ameri-
can statesmen and will in his letter of
acceptance 1ndorse the platform adopt
ed at Chicago hardly agrees with his
former position that political econo-
mists have pretty generally agreed that
protection is vicious in theory and

harmful in pSG&ftaC3.
Perhaps President Roosevelt now, as
when he wrote the life Of Benton, be-
lieves the tariff is purely a business
matter and should be decided on
grounds Of exped.ency." he doubtless
finds it expedient not to disagree with
the high protection policy Of the party
whose candidate he Is, and lie may hug
the selfish delusion that it is no affair
Of his If the American people elect
him to Office On a platform which adj
vocates this vicious theory and this
harmful practice"
If President Roosevelt was not con
sidered such a decisive man, always
expected to fully express his true opin-
ions, his plea Of eXpediency and his
evident adherence to tie "Opportunlst''
school Of politics would not cause him
to be open to criticism on lis eXtraor-
binary change of political convictions
He may console himself with the fact
that 'ff the majority of people In inter-
est wish It. and 1t affects only them
selves, there is no earthly reason why
they should not be allowed to try the
experiment to their hearts content"
Still that IS the policy OF the trimmer
and politician in its worst sense and
not the attitude Of the statesman.

President Roo@eveIt's Extraordi-

Many people nowadays possibly for
get that the discussion Of the tariff and
protection is no new thing in American
politics. AS long ago as 1924 it was
often a paramount issue, and national
campaigns were fought over schedules
and rates of duty, as will probably be
the case in this campaign. President
Roosevelt in his life Of Thomas II
Benton, on pages GO and 81, explains
this and tells why Benton voted for a
protective tariff bill Although repre-
senting Missouri, an agricultural state,
because Of the bride Of "a heavy duty
on lead he felt himself forced to sup
port It," President Roosevelt extenu-
ates Benton's sudden change Of front
by saying that he was like "a good

capacities are obliged to appear as pro-
tectionists, but who lack his frankness
IN stating their reasons"
