As no .PROrECTToN. .

The State Journal is in receipt of the
address and resolutions adopted at
the twentieth annual meeting of the
American Protective Tariff League.
which has its headquarters at No. 339
Broadway, New York. Along with the
address comes an inquiry as to whether
the State Journal is in favor of a pro-
tective tariff.
The answer to this inquiry depends.
1t may be Affirmative and it may be
negative. It depends upon who is pro-
tected. what he is protected from. and
to what extent.
This question Of protection is largely
a question of locality. The Democratic
state of Louisiana comes close to being
in favor OF a protective tariff because
the Louisiana sugar planters wish a
tariff on sugar that viii operate against
the sugar from Cuba and allow them
to make a big profit. Ditto the beet
sugar trust which operates in AIichi-
gan. Colorado and California. The
shoe manufacturers of Massachusetts,
are opposed to a tariff on hides and in
favor of a tariff on shoes. so that they
can buy low and sell high. The fruit
growers of California are in favor of a
tariff on fruits to keep out those from
Mexico. Therefore ones views on the
tariff are apt to be shaped very largely
by ones locality and business.
The address OF this Protective Tariff
League states that seven years of re-
stored prosperity" have resulted "al-
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1906-01-07


most wholly from the operations Of a
Tariff law afording needful and ade-
quate Protection with a capital "P'
Ito Industry. Not a word Is said
about good crops. or the wars that
have helped to make good prices. or
the great output of the mines. gold.
iron and others. These things had
nothing to do with prosperity. It was
almost wholly the tariff.
In closing the address the league re-
solves that a tariff emanating from
the brains of theorists, reformers and
revisionists win prove an infinitely less
desirable tariff than the one we now
have"
OF course it will-to the trusts who
are now protected in expressing and
robbing the people. 1t is quite prob
able, that a tariff revised by men who
have the welfare of the people and not
of the steel trust and it's allies at heart.
would prove infinitely more desirable
to the people than is the present tariff.
The State Journal believes in pro-
tecting those industries that need it
sufficiently to allow them to build up
with a modest and reasonable profit,
but it does not believe in protecting the
steel trust. for instance, to the extent
that the trust is able to ship steel rails
to Europe and sell them at $40 a ton
while it 'holds up Americans for S28
a ton for the same rails right at home.
Perhaps it may be argued that the
Kansas farmer doesn't have to buy
steel rails. so what does he care? He
doesn't have to buy steel rails, but he
does have to buy farm implements,
and it works the same way there. The
steel trust gets at tie farmer through
the harvester trust. American farm
machinery is used all over the world.
but the Kansas farmer is made to pay
outrageous prices for the same nipple
ments that are shipped to Europe and
sold in competition with homemade
machinery there.
We can see how the tariff on hides
would be a good thing for the Kansas
cattleman, provided the theory worked
all right It would give him a higher
price for his cattle. To be sure he
would pay more for his shoes, and his
harness and saddles, and other leather
goods, but what of that? He would
more than play even on the price of
his cattIe-provided the theory does
not slip a cog. But suppose the beef
trust steps in and gets control of the
cattle market as many cattlemen say
it does, and suppose the beef trust
fixes the price of cattle just high
enough to keep the cattlemen going
What difference does the tariff on hides
make to the cattleman then? The
beef trust sticks the increased price
of the hides down in its pocket, and the
cattleman goes on paying a high price
for his shoes and leather goods.
No, the State Journals answer to
that question depends on whether the
trusts or the people are to be pro-
tected. -

GRAZING LEASES


Congressman Curtis introduced a bill
last week. as noted in Fridays State
Journal, ito permit grazing leases on
western lands"
The text of the bill is not yet at
hand. but such measure can not be
too carefully watched. If it is in the
nature of the Lacey bill which pro-
vides that a landho1der may lease to
the amount of twenty times his hold
ings it should be killed. Indeed it
must be a very good bill indeed to
merit approval at all.
Never before since the civil war are
the eyes of the settler turned towards
western Kansas lands as they are to-
day.
If the government means to benefit
the largest number it will be careful
to keep open for the actual settler,
the small farmer. the few lands we
still have available for the purpose
rather than Permit the big non-resi-
dent cattle owner to fence whole sec
tons and parts of townships under
lease. The government is just now in
dieting these nonresident land owners
for fencing lands they do not own.
Is the Curtis bill to enable these
men to go on fencing the lands they
do not own. but under a rental law,
and thereby do legally what is illegal
now and keep out the small resident

IRON the Los Angeles Express.l
For years the American people have
been familiar with the spectacle Of cer-
tain citizens ana corporations going be-
fore legislative bodies and using money
and influence to obtain special priv
neges. Concurrent with the develop
ment of this species Of corruption there
have been the birth and growth of the
elnen legislator. the man who intro
duces bills aimed at corporations with
the intention of securing money to
prevent their passage
Ordinarily this might be regarded as
an example Of righteous retributiOn, but
the recent revelations before the insur-
ance investigating committee IN New
York show that the cash comes from
the pockets Of policy holders, and thus
the common citizen is robbed not only
OF his money after he has earned it, but
is despoiled of his collective interest in
franchises for public utilities.
In his message to the Ohio legisla-
ture Monday, retiring Governor Her
rick earnestly repeats his former rec
concentration for legislation to prevent
lobbying, but he despairs of any pos
sible enactment which will act as a
bar to the operations of the blackmail-
ing legislator who introduces milking
bills" for the purpose of extorting
money from special interests. The sole
remedy Which occurs to him is pubic
expression of contempt for those who
engage in the pernicious practice.
Evidently this is the next great ques-
ton to engage the attention of the
American people. Public opinion is be-
coming pretty well aroused on the sub
jeet, but the remedy suggested by Gov
ernor Herrick does not seem to hold
much promise. Expressions of con-
tempt do not usually bring dismay to
the average boodling legislator. and it
is extremely difficult to place such err
ring ones in strict retirement with a
suit of striped clothing.
About the only remedy left to the
people is the recall. The English use
it in turning governments out of Office.
This is done often where there are no
overt acts or deep transgression. and
in instances where a cabinet simply
fails to retain the confidence of the
people," This procedure might be ap-
piled to the American legislator who is
suspected Of "cinching'' or milking. "
This method of reform. coupled with
Governor Folks plan of treating lob
byists as ticket-of-leave men, might
have a purifying effect upon legislation
in the United States.

VIRGINIA AIannrnv's Trouble.


A big, fat colored woman, evidently
a Virginia nanny, encountered what
was to her serious trouble a few days
ago. She was, to judge from appear
ances, a native of some rural district,
and the chances are, came to town to
sell produce outside the Center mar
ket. The woman from the Old Domin-'
ion is certainly not familiar with city
ways, and beyond doubt is an absolute
stranger to new tangled contrivances,
even those in every day use.
She had occasion to go to the city
postofnce, and there her difficulties
were met. One of the revolving doors
of the Pennsylvania avenue entrance
to the big granite structure caused her
to halt. It struck her fancy as being
in the nature of a contrivance to bring
about the death of human beings by
the slow torture process Only after
a dozen or more individuals had pass
ed through the doorway safely did the
visitor from Virginia dare enter one
of the four compartments of the door.
OF course, she pushed in the wrong d.
-ection, and naturally the door became
jammed. It required the efforts of
two postoffice department watchmen
and three citizens for several minutes
to release the woman. She fastened
in the direction Of the market mutter-
ing:
Il don't want no mo- of dem squirrel
cages for mine, nohow, 1 don't -
