What" asks Mr.. Washburn, could
be wiser than to place all the above
named articles on the free list?'
Why, nothing of course could be wiser
from the free traders standpoint
Just as surely as these articles should
be placed on the free list, along with
a host of other articles that would go
with them on the free list, just so
surely would the entire system of pro-
lection go to pieces and free trade
take it's place. We hesitate to sug-
gest that even Mr.. Washburn has not
brains enough to perceive that such
must be the result of the kind of tar
iff revision which he advocates. 1t is
more complimentary to his intelli-
gence to infer that Mr.. Washburn is
in fact free trader
In his great desire to make out the
worst possible case against the Ding
ley tariff and to support his plea for
immediate revision Mr.. Washburn
naturally falls back on the time-worn
argument of Democrats and free trad
ers that because certain articles of
domestic production are sometimes
sold abroad cheaper than at home
therefore all tariff duties on such ar
ticles should be greatly reduced, or,
still better. altogether removed.
Much of this sort of talk was heard
from Democratic orators in the cam
paign of 1904. In their treatment of
the tariff question they relied largely
upon this line of argument to win
votes away from the Republican
party. They did not succeed. They
never will succeed. American con-
sumers accept as sound and sensible
and in every way satisfactory the Re
publican view of this qeustion-name-
ly:
L. That lower prices for export
prevail only to a limited extent at
any time, and do not prevail at all ex-
cept when there is a temporary cessa-
ton in the domestic demand.
2. That the practice of selling a
surplus at reduced prices in foreign
markets obtains in every industrial
producing country; in free trade
Great Britain as much or more than
in protected Germany, and that the
tariff has nothing to do with it.
g. That in our own country, when

TARIFF INSTABILITY.
TYPICAL PREsENTMENT OF THE
CASE FOR REVISION.
Ex-senator Washburn Writes in Siren
uous Fashion of the Importance of
Sweeping Tariff Reductions and of
Reciprocity of the Wide Open Sort.

The article in the Outlook of Feb
ruary Is, contributed by w. D. Wash
burn, OF Minnesota, embodies a typi-
cal presentment of the case for imme-
date tariff revision from the stand
point of Republican tariff reformer.
Mr. Washburn is a Republican in the
sense that he votes the Republican
ticket, though for the past ten years
he has not been recognized as an ac
tive or influential force in Republican
party affairs. After having served
three terms as representative in Con-
gress he was elected United States
senator from Minnesota for the six
years ending March 4, 1895 His cleo
ton as senator was brought about
more as the result of fortuitOus cir
cumstances, which need not be re-
counted here, than as recognition of
his own merits and abilities. In his
six years of service in the Senate
nothing occurred to enhance his repu-
tatiOn as legislator and Statesman,
and at the end of that term the Re
publicans of Minnesota decided to
make another and a better selection,
and they did. Thereupon Mr.. Wash
burn retired to private life, and has
not since been called upon by the peo-
pie of his State to divert any of his
time and attention from his milling
and railroad interests.
Mr.. Washburn is a protectionist in
the sense that he is not an avowed
free trader. He is a protectionist of
the type of Cummins, of Iowa. and
Foss, of Massachusetts. He was per-
haps better protectionist than he is
now during the period of his public
career At all events, his propensity
for tariff reform did not begin to man
ifest itself ccnspicuOusly until after
the Republicans of Minnesota had ex-
cused him from further service.
For several years past Mr.. Wash
burn has held tadvanced' views re-
gaTding the tariff He was among

marched in the inaugural parade on
the 4th of March. He is William
O'Meara, now the senior vice COM
mander of Potomac Post No. L, of this
city Mr.. O'Meara was only IL years
old when the war broke out He had
been for some time a drummer boy
in one of the local militia organiza-
tons and when President Lincoln is
sued his call for troops Mr.. O'Meara's
father raised a company and made his
son drummer boy. When the time
cs,me to be mustered in, the Federal
general refused to enlist young
O'Meara, although the latter claimed
that he was 3 years old instead of IL.
The boy some time before had been
able to do to President Lincoln a IA
vor in directing him and his secretary
OF war to a house in an outlying sec
ton of the city, and just as the boy
was about to turn away from the mus
tering ground, at Seventeenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, crying and
heartbroken, he saw President Lin
COLI approaching from the dlrecuOn
of the White House. The boy ran to
the president and told him his trou-
bles. Lincoln took him by the hand
and walked back to where the COM
rany was being mustered in. Gen
eral,'' he said to the mastering officer,
why don't you enlist this boy. He
wants to go, his father is the head of
a company, and he has the proper
spirit for a soldier
He is years under the age the
general replied, land it cannot be
done without an order from the com
handing general of the armies of the
United States
Then" said President Lincoln, "as
| am the commander-in-chief of the
armies of the United States, 1 order
you to enlist this young man" 1t
was done at once. and O'Meara served
through large portion of that great
conflict. O'Meara's papers show that
he was discharged from the army
when only IS years old, and with a
creditable record of service behind

the first to hail with enthusiastic ap
proval the Kasson scheme of reciproc-
ity in competitive products, and he
has been an ardent advocate of prac-
tically unrestricted reciprocity with
Canada. In spite of the fact that the
Kasson treaties have long since been
dead and buried, and in apparent ig-
norance of the fact that any system
Of general reciprocity with Canada is
a fiscal and an economic impossibility
SO long is the Republican party con-
tinues to adhere to the cardinal
principle of protection" Mr.. Wash
burn keeps right on urging competi-
tive reciprocity with European coun-
tries, and, to quote his own words,
the adoption of policy of general
reciprocity if not, indeed, of absolute
free trade" with Canada.
We have thought it we'll to particu-
1arize somewhat as to Mr.. Washburns
attitude toward the policy and prac-
tice of protection in order to locate
him properly. Otherwise the mistake
might be made of supposing that it
is as a protectiOnist that Mr.. Wash
burn writes to the Outlook in such
strenuous fashion on the urgent need
of sweeping tariff changes and wide
open reciprocity. He writes, instead,
as a mugwump. tariff reformer, and
not as believer in the consistent and
equable application of the policy of
protection to all labor and all indus
try. What protectionist would write
as Mr.. Washburn does in the Outlook
article:
LAS to wheat. I have always regard
ed the duty of 25 cents a bushel as
absurd
1t goes without saying that this is
not the expression of one who values
protection so highly that he would not
imperil it by depriving the American
farmer of its advantages. 1t is rather
the expression of one whose interest
in milling properties prompts him to
strive for free trade in Canadian
wheat. Neither is it a protectionist
who says. as Mr. Washburn says:
1.-The duty of 81 thousand feet is
imposed on Canadian lumber. Why
should there be any duty whatever on
lum ber? ?"
For an answer to that question Mr.
Washburn has only to turn back to
the free lumber period of 1894-1S97,
when the lumber producing interests
of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan were heavy sufferers through free
trade in the products of Canadian
saw mills
1t is not protectionist. surely, who
advocates in addition such a general
overhauling of the Dingley schedules
as would place on the free list the fol-
lowing competitive commodities:
