WRONG AND AN INJUSTICE.
Such Would Be the Purchase of PAN
anna Supplies in Foreign
Markets.

Would a member of Abraham Lin
coins cabinet have adopted policy of
buying in the cheapest market? or a
member of Thomas Jefferson's cabinet?
These two men, says the American
Economist. are held by Theodore Roose-
welt as the highest examples and ideals
of American craftsmanship. 1t was JEFF
ferson who said:
My own idea is that we should en-
courage home manufactures TO the eX-
tent of our own consumption of every
terial."
1t was Lincoln who said:
If my wife buys a dress in England
for $50 we have the dress and England
has the $50. If she buys that dress in the
United States we have both the dress
and the $40"
What howl we republicans and pro-
tectionisCs made when Cleveland's sec
retary of war bought army blankets
abroad.
So much for sentiment How about
the business side of Secretary Taft's pol
icy of buying all supplies for the 18TH
mian canal in the cheapest market?
Why are we exporting and selling
S500,000000 worth of manufactures
abroad annually? Not because, as a
rule, we are selling cheaper, but because
we sell better goods than can be bought
in European markets. Foreigners have
learned that the best goods are in the
end the cheapest. And now we are to
ignore this very principle that has mad e
us the largest exporting nation? ff
English and continental goods are not
good enough for Europeans, are they
good enough for us? It's pretty serious
responsibility for Mr.. Taft to assume,
this buying of cheap foreign goods and
disregarding the well made wares of his
own countrymcn. If the we'll made
American shovel, which costs 81 20, out
lasts two of the cheaply made 75-cent
shovels made abroad, where is the saw
ing in buying the foreign made article d?
And so on through the list.
So much for the business view.
1t is our money that is going to build
the canal. Shall we SPEND it among our
own laborers. or give it to foreign work
men? Suppose we DO use few more
millions by buying at home. When the
supplies are used UP we would still have
the money and every laborer in the
country, every farmer and every profes-
sional man would benefit directly or in.
directly. # spent abroad we shall soon
have neither the supplies nor the
money.
1t would be an economical, business
and sentimental injustice and wrong
to buy anything abroad for the building
of the isthmian canal which can be
bought at home. 1t would throw the
administration and the republican party
into derision ard contempt.

Germany, in common with most
other European nations is carrying out
the policy of promoting peace by pre-
pairing for war by making large in
creases in both her military and naval
establishments. Under the provisions
of the new army bill the strength of
the German army on a peace footing
will be increased until it reaches the
number of 505,S39 in 1909. This in
wolves an addition of nearly ten thou
sand men, excluding, apparently, off,
GERS and non-commissioned officers,
and one-year volunteers.

ONLY A SAMPLE CASE.
Development of the Silk Industry
the Result of Protec-
tive Tariff.

A free-trade newspaper publishes a
statement showing the marvellous de-
velopment of the silk industry during
the past 40 years. The statement in
cludes these facts and figures:
In 1860 only 13 per cent. of the silk
used here was home manufactured
This percentage had increased to 80 in
1880, and to SO in 1896. and to 10 in
1900. In 1900 there were 483 silk man
ufacturing plants in the United States,
with an aggregate capital of S81 ,00O,-
600, employing $500 hands and paying
them 21,000,0 year in wages. The
importations of silk are rapidly declin-
ing. American mills supply most of
the American demand and are compet-
ing with France and other foreign
countries for the trade of the world 1"
All of which is strictly true, says
the Troy Times. And it is also true
that this marvellous development" has
occurred wholly under protection, orig
mating with that granted by the law
passed in 1861, when the republicans
first had the opportunity to enact such
a measure, and continued through the
various tariff acts since passed, with
the single exception of the democratic
WilsonGorman bill of 1894, which re-
duced duties all along the line. A ma
ton once wholly dependent ON other
countries for it's silks and satins is now
not only meeting all it's own require
ments in this line, but is underselling
in the markets of the world competi-
tors who have been in the business for
centuries. That is the story of a sin
gle American industry fostefed by pro-
lection. The tale could be told, vary
ing only in detail, as TO very many
others. And still the free-traders try
to fool the American people into the
belief that protection is a handicap on
prosperity.
