fact was clearly demonstrable that
more than one industry in the United
States was certain to be injuriously
affected thereby.
Sturdy devotion to the principles
of protection and pledges that all
American labor and industry shall be
safe.guarded were made the keynote
or the Republican party declaration.
The Republican national platform
of this year makes this emphatic
declaration, which is in harmony with
the doctrine upon which the party is
based"
Protection which guards and de-
velops our industries is cardinal
policy of the Republican party. The
measure of protection should always
at least equal the difference in the
cost of production at home and
abroad. We insist upon the main
tenance Of the principles OF protec-
ton, and therefore the rates Of duty
should be readjusted only when con-
ditions have so changed that the
public interests demand their altera-
ton, but this work cannot safely be
committed to any other hands than
those OF the Republican party"
Two vital points are embodied in
this clause Of the Republican plat
form: First, that the measure Of pro-
lection shall be the difference in the
cost Of production in this country
and In foreign countries. This is a
guaranty that every essential ele-
ment in the cost Of production,
whether II be the rates Of wages paid
30 workingmen, the value OF capital
investments. or the cost Of plants
and whether the projection so meas
ured relates to commodities OF the
factory, the mine or the farm, shall
always be at least embodied in the
laws governing the importation Of
competing products admitted TO the
ports Of the United States. Second.
and what Is a vital principle in this
platform declaration, is that the Re-
publican party shall determine when
conditions have so changed as to
make establishments Of tariff sched-
ules necessary or desirable in the
public interests. Certainly II is
proposition to which all sensible men
will agree that no such readjUstment
should be made, at any time. when
the good results expected TO be OBJ
tanned thereby would be- more than
outweighed by the attending Injurious
effects to industry and labor certain
to attend such readjustmedt Of the
tariff.

The floorwalker paused to brush a
white thread from his long black coat.
Then he resumed:
Now, what you might do would be
to patent some new sort Of umbrella
some rain shield built on better lines.
We have proof that the umbrella has
existed for 10000 years, and yet in all
that time It has not once been improv-

perfect. It turns inside out readily,
and It only protects the head and
shoulders from the rain. Change all
that. Give us an umbrella that is a
complete rain shield. Then you will

The closing clauses in the tariff
flank of the platform constitute an
arraignment Of the Democratic
party's position on the tariff, which
must 60 home to the hearts and
minds Of people everywhere in this
country. 1t points out how the Dem
ocratic party has declared the pro-
tective tariff to be unconstitutional.
A party with such beliefs could not,
in justice to itself. do otherwise than
promptly destroy every vestige of
protection Immediately upon being
given power to accomplish that re-
suit.
Another point which will not soon
be forgotten is that a Democratic
tariff has always been followed by
business adversely; Republican tar
if by business prosperity" The fact
was not lost sight of also that free
trade England is now engaged in ac-
tive agitation to return to the prin-
ciple of protection in her international
trade arrangements.
The platform declaration on the
subject of our foreign trade, with
special bearing upon the question Of
reciprocity, while not so emphatic as
it might have been, when examined
closely, will be found to meet the
requirements of the time. The reci-
procity section guarantees that inter-
national trade arrangements shall
when put into effect, be consistent
with the principles of protection and
without injury to American qgricul.
ture, American labor or any American
industry"
Reciprocity in non-competing prod
ucts is the reciprocity Of Mckinley
and Of the Republican party.
Trade agreements with foreign
countries, which safeguard American
agriculture and American labor and
every American industry, are trade
agreements consistent with the prin
ciples of protection, and will not be
harmful to the industries and the
labor of the United States.

Mr.. Hawkins, David Parker and
John Burt spent three nights in the
cramped quarters of the log cabin,
and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
On their return to San Francisco
formal agreement was signed, and
John Burt and John Hawkins became
partners in the Sailor Mine and in
the scores of claims surrounding it.
For eighteen months John directed
the efforts of an army of men, swarm
ing like ants on the mountain-side. A
village sprang up in the valley and
clustered about the stamp mills Of
Hawkins & Company. Churches,
gambling houses, stores and saloons
contended for patronage. Thousands
of claims were staked out; but nature
had ceased from her gold sowing
: when she finished the broad layers Of
the Sailor Mine and its outcroppings.
The mines produced eight hundred
thousand dollars in gold the first year.
After deducting Blake's price, Johns
share in the profits was more than
hundred thousand. His dividends in
the following six months were three
hundred thousand. Following Mr..
Hawkins advice, he so invested his
profits as to become a millionaire be-
fore he had been in California two
years.
Having placed the mining property
on permanent footing, and in charge
of competent managers and superin-
tendents, he transferred his head
quarters to San Francisco. He still
made periodical visits to the mines,
where he had an Office in the old log
cabin orders having been issued not
to destroy it under any circumstances.

rs SOUND AND TRUE.
ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKS
THE PLATFORM THEY
STAND ON.
All Views Harmonized In Tariff and
Reciprocity Declarations That Ad-
here to the Doctrine of Protection
to Every Form Of American Labor
and Industry.

The cause Of protection to the labor
and industries of the United States
has gained a triumphal victory in
the national convention of the Repub-
lcan party. The platform of the
party and the nomination of Roose-
welt and Fairbanks carry a pledge to
the labor and industries of the United
States that, so far as the Republican
party is able to control results, they
shall be exempt from ruinous attack
which so much endangers the har.
mony Of successful commercial de-
velopment and the wage-earning ca.
pacity of our people.
The Republican national platform
OF this year will stand the careful
scrutiny of students of political econ
omy as well as of the Republican
party leaders, whose devotion to the
principles of protection has contrib
uted so much to the development of
American industry and commerce and
to the well being of labor during the
past forty years. The one striking
feature of this excellent platform
cannot fail to attract the attention
OF Republicans everywhere and that
is the pledge against unnecessary
tariff tinkering and the pledge that
no schemes for reciprocity in trade
with foreign nations shall be per-
mitted to injure any industry in the
United States.
The fact will not be lost sight of
that had the principles enunciated in
this platform governed the Repub-
lican national administration during
the past two years there would have
been no such thing as reciprocal trade
agreements with any foreign nation,
no matter how great the incentive nor
how charitable the spirit which
prompted such negotiations, when the

The National Association Of Manu-.

70 this recommendation comes from

in a presidential campaign year. for
II develops an agitation that may
form a new complication in tariff
discussion, and neither Of the two
great political parties appears dis
posed TO rush into the tariff arena
