Clamor for Revision II But the Out
!. growth e Eee Trade
Sentiment.

While no one can object to q rea-
sonable adjustment OF tariff duties at
any time, II IS always to be Kept in
mind that much Of the clamor for
revision of the tariff schedules is but
the outgrowth of free trade sentiment
expressing itself. The real beauties
of the protective system are lost sight
Of by good many people. from the
real reason that they do not give the
subject detailed consideration, says
the st. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette. The
free trade enthusiast and newspaper
are always at work exploiting their
pet hobby. while the supporter of the
protective policy Is ordinarily kept
busy at other things. The result is
that many thorough believers In the
soundness Of the protective policy
often become unsettled by this con-
slant hammering of the Golden club.
and imagine that the industries of
the country are being eaten up by
the robber tariff. When a campaign
comes on, and the people look into
the detail of the tariff question, they
become satisfied again, and everything
is lovely for the time being.
A little time spent in looking into
the effects of our protective policy be-
tween campaigns would not be amiss.
1t doesn't do any harm, in other
words, for the ordinary citizen to
know what is being done in the way
OF increasing or decreasing our ex-
ports or imports as result of tariff
duties on matter whether we are in
the midst of campaign or not. For
instance, 1t Is comforting to the be-
lever in the protective policy to know
that our imports Of materials for man
ufacturing purposes are constantly in
creasing, as are also our exports of
manufactured articles. In other words,
we are constantly bringing an in
creased amount of raw material to
this country to work up into articles
Of merchandise by home labor. while
at the same time we are constantly
sending increased amounts Of these
manufactured articles to other lands
for consumption.

PROTECTION SUITS SOUTH.
Industrial and Commercial Interests
Forwarded by the Repub-
lican Policy.

The circular of an Alabama cotton
manufacturer, as printed in the Manu-
facturers' Record, of Baltimore, sets
forth economics so sound and so rele-
want to the Industrial and commercial
welfare of the southern states that it
might well be urged by the south for
incorporation into one or both of the
political platforms of 1908. 1t is as fol-
lows:
More factories to manufacture her
cotton, instead of shipping two-thirds
of 1t abroad in the raw, thus keeping the
profits of manufacture at home.
ITO ship her products in her own yes
sells. instead of sending 95 per cent: of
hem abroad in foreign ships, whose in
terests are naturally in competition
with our own.
National laws more favorable to
American navigation, enabling our
products to reach the orient at as low
cost of transportation as similar prod
ucts from European ports.
Her agricultural, industrial and COM
mercial interests to become the issue in
our political campaigns.
Wider markets for her finished prod
ucts."
The policy of protection to all forms
of American industry and labor on the
sea as well as on the land, says the
American Economist, fits perfectly the
industrial and commercial aspirations
Of the southern states, as denoted in this
very excellent platform. 1t is hopeful
sign when the producing interests Of
the south are looking toward protection
as indispensable to southern develop
ment and prosperity, and when southern
agricultural, industrial and CONNER
cial interests demand consideration in
political campaigns.
