PROTECTION AND SUBSIDIES

Secretary Shaw with his vague
ideas of economics often makes
most extraordinary statements.
Through reading the protection
literature, prepared by the Pro-
tective Tariff League, he has
registered in his PARTISAN mind
that: The government has
granted either protection or aid
to every industry which is now
being prosecuted by our people
and every industry that can ap-
propriately be prosecuted, inter-
national shipping alone except
ed. That statement was made
in a speech to the Eastern Com
mercial Teachers Association and
if they were not a lot of chumps,
how they must have laughed in
their sleeves at the Shaw pro-
lection philosophy. 1t is true
the Republican party has protect
ed the trusts and aided the
manufacturers, but the people
pay the bills and their industry
is made less remuneratlve by the
protection the tariff gives the
trusts. The greatly increased
cost of living since the Dingley
tariff bill was enacted has Writ
ually decreased wages over one
third and reduced stationary in
comes by a like percentage. Yet
Secretary Shaw would add to
their burdens still another tax to
subsidize the steamship trust.
The policy of the Protestion-
lists is to indirectly foster with
the protective tariff, or directly
subsidize the few who dwell in
palaces at Newport, out of the
hard earned money of the many
who labor and pay the taxes.
The Southern planter has no pro-
lection for his cotton, neither
has the Northern farmer for his
cereals, for both mustI sell at
the worlds prices in open COM
petition with all countries that
likewise have a surplus to dis
pose of. But all this great
agricultural class must pay the
increased price for what they
buy, which the fostering tariff
allows the trusts and combines
to charge. The storekeeper, the
commercial traveller and the
clerk, do not find profits, orr sal
aries, advanced in proportion to
the increased cost of living, for
they are all paying their share of
the tariff tax to the trusts to
whom, Secretary Shaw so joy
ously reminds us, the govern
ment has granted either protect
ion or add.
The trust and corporation
baron would make serfs of the
workmen they employ, and only
through organization have the
workingmen been able to pro-
tect themselves and remain free
men. Republican policies and
Republican laws have given them
no aid or comfort, for under the
protective system everything
they buy has increased in a much
greater ratio than the wages
they receive.
This, then, is the policy laud-
ed by Secretary Shaw and the
Republican politicians. To pro-
tect and subsidize the powerful
and rich, by taxing the farmer.
the tradesman, the artisan and
the laborer. Promises have been
made by Republican convention
and politicians to revise the
tariff and similar promises are
being formulated to again fool
the people, but as long as the
protected interests dominate the
Republican party there can be

In some ways the new senator is SIM

his appointment will not meet with the
mighty wave of public approval as did
that Of Mr.. Coburn, for he is not so
well known and he has not been giving

Kansas as a whole, as has Mr.. Co
burn.
On the other hand Senator Benson is
a man Of legislative and judicial exper-
fence. He is also accustomed to meet

made good record on the bench and in
the last legislature. While he probably
will not make record for brilliancy in
