The Protective Tariff--Its Revision
 Its Relation to Trusts.

I come now to the question of the tariff, it's revison, and its relation to the unlawful trusts. The Dingley tariff was adopted immediately after the election of MT. Mckinley. Since that time we have passed through the Spanish war and have had a decade of prosperity and an increase and ex- pansion of trade unexampled in the history of this or any other country
 The Republican principle of the. pro- tective tariff is, as l understand it.
 that through the customs revenue law tariff should be collected on all im- ported products that compete with American products, which will at least equal a difference in the cost of pro- duction in this country and abroad
 and that proper allowance should be made in this difference for the req sonable profits to the American manu- facturer The claim Of Protectionists and it has been abundaptly justified lin the past. is that profe6tipn secures

Many Schedules Excessive.

After referring to the fact that there were some articles in which the tariff was hardly high enough, the conclu- sion of the committee was stated as follows.
 "Ccrfning ourselves to the protec- tive principle, we find many schedules some of them upon the prime neces- sites of lifc-returning the government n, revenue of consequence, and yet under the claims of tle protective the ory, bearing a tariff schedule-not merely equal to the difference in the cost of production here and abroad, with all reasonable contingencies al- lowed for-but decidedly in excess of the total wage cost of production in this country.
 "We find some of these schedules many times in excess of the difference between the cost of production here and abroad. We find that individuals who are at the top, both in stock holdings and in management in some of these same industries, declare pri- vately that these schedules are wrong. and that the best interest of those in- .dustries themselves, as well as the interests of the country at large, re- quire. adjustment at the earliest pos sible moment. They say that now is the time for revision, while the coun- try is so prosperous that adjustment may easily be made to new conditions. D

Association All Protcctionists.

This National Association of Manu- facturers is composed almost wholly of protectionists, and think we may safely say therefore, of republicans. I am advised that the association repre- sents all classes of manufacturers in this country and that a majority of the manufacturers of consequence are members The committee reports: "We are all rotectionists-there. are a very few brilliant exceptions, but so few that we may repeat the statement We are Protectionists' The committee lays down in its report the following doctrine, which seems to me of the or- thodox Republican type:
 'FPrdtection, as the word implies, re- quires that the Tariff Schedules be such as protect our manufacturers against undue pressure from foreign competi- tion, and maintain our high wage scale and standard of living. The minimum measure of protection is, therefore, as President Roosevelt said, The differ ence in the cost of production in this country and abroad These Protective Schedules, thus figured, must carry with them very ample margin for safety. It must make full allowance for the possibility of hard times abroad and good times here; for dumping, and all other contingencies. This done 1t is truly protective; and it is only so, as it covers these features and noth- ing more"

Since that time the senate committee on military affairs has taken 3,200 printed pages of evidence in the same matter, and the hearing is not con- cluded Until the hearing is closed and the committee makes its report it would be premature for me, in view of my official relation to the matter, to express an. opinion as to the effect of the senate evidence on the issue which the president decided The other topics I must pass over for lack of time.
 Advantages of Republican Party in
 Leadership of President Roosevelt.
 I cannot close without comment on the position of advantage for the coming national campaign which President Roosevelt, by the intense earnestness, vigor, courage and suc- cess with which he has pressed the reforms that rightly bear his name, has secured to the republican party. A trimming, do-nothing, colorless pol icy in face of the proof of business, railway and corporate abuses would certainly have driven the party from power, however little responsibility for them could be justly charged to it, It was not political advantage which the president sought in these reforms, but the real betterment of conditions which he has effected Still, the belief of the people in his sincerity, his courage and his amaz- ing quality for doing things on their behalf has won for him a hold on the

Reasons for Thinking Some Schedules
 Excessive.

In the enormous progress fin the manufacturing plants and the im- provement in methods which have been brought about in the last ten years in this country, there is the strongest reason for thinking that in many industries the difference between the cost of production in this country and abroad, has been reduced. This is an opinion of mine formed priori be- cause am a sincere believer in the ef- flcacy of the protective system ulti- mately to cheapen the cost of produc- tion. The opinion has been confirmed by conversation with manufacturers and others who knew something of what they speak.

Duty of Republican Party to Prevent
 Excessive Tariff Rates.

It is the duty of the Republican party, however, to see to it that the tariff on imported articles does not exceed substantially the reasonably permanent differential between the cost of production in the foreign countries and that in the United States, it is time that schedules be re- examined and if excessive that they be reduced so as to bring them within the justification for the rule, by which the amount of tariff to be inn posed under the protective system is properly determined.

Temptations to Monopoly in Rates Ex-
 ceeding Protective Principle.

Whenever the tariff imposed is largely in excess of the differential be- tween the cost of production in the two countries, then ther is formed at once a great temptation to monopol- ize the business of producing the par ticular product, and to take advantage of profit in the excessive tariff. This denies to the people altogether the economies of production that competi- tion under a protective tariff should develop.

Controlling Reasons for Delay in Kc- vision Till After Presidential Elcc-
 ton.

had ocasion in a speech which Z delivered in Bath, Me, now abc/t a year ago, to express my individual opinion as in favor of an immediate revision of the tariff, but I there point cd out, and I only refore to 1t to repeat it and emphasize it, that the revision of a tariff involves so many different interests the country over as that it could not be undertaken successfully by the republican party, and therefore ought not to be undertaken at all, until the party aa a whole is in favor of it. l I ventured to express une opinion that the sentiment in favor of a revision in the republican party is crystallizing to such a point that in a short time we might expect to have action upon the subject What has happened in the last year has only served to confirm the view I then expressed and it NOW lseems to me that even most of the eX- | tremists in the matter of the tariff are of the opinion that it would not be only unwise. but unsafe, for the party to fail in it's next national platform to | pledge itself to a revision of the tariff | as soon after the next presidential election as possible. Those of us who favor immediate revision can we'll af- ford to wait until after the next presi-
 dential election in order to secure sub-
 stantial acquiescence by all republic
 ans. Certainly delay of action fol eighteen months ought to furnish a reason for no protectionist to invite the certain disaster that democratic re-
 vision on free trade lines would in-
 volve. More than this, full time should
 be given for the operation of a new
 tariff upon the business of the country 1before the people express their opin- ion of it. The passage of bill by the lnext congress would mean the consid-
 eration by congress of the tariff in the midst of a presidential campaign with
 all the opportunity for misrepresenta-
 ton of its effect which its practiea Ioperation for a year or more would re- flute, Furthermore, with a presiden- tial election four years removed, wt
 can count on a revision less affected
 by political considerations than il
 made in the heat of a national cam
 paign.

Such Discrimination Impossible. Of
 fers Immunity to Rich.

Such a discrimination in practical legislation can not be maintained for moment Courts and judicial proce- dure are made for all and must oper- ate equally for and against all The only method by which wealthy and powerful malefactors can be restrain ed is by maintaining the power of the courts, and the minute the power of the court is weakened in the sup posed interest of the lowly and un- fortunate accused of wrongdoing, the lawless rich are furnished the immun- ity they seek. The wealthy wrongdoer could easily escape the restraint of the law through the rents in it's meshes. MT. Bryan would make for the benefit of those with less influence and means.

Absurdity of National Referendum.

The representative government that has served us we'll for 130 years has not been for MT. Bryan sufficiently expressive of the will of the people Election of senators by the people is not enough for him. We must call upon fourteen million electors to legis- late directly Could any more bur- densome or inefficient method be de- vised than this? I believe that ref erendum under certain conditions and limitations in the subdivisions of a State on certain issues may not be healthful and useful but as applied to our national government it is en- tirely impracticable. If it is difficult for the people to use proper judgment in the concrete question of the per- .sonality of the representatives they are to select to cary on their national government, as MT. Bryan's theory assumes, how much more difficult for them to give sufficient attention to the settlement of the many questions of policy and procedure in complicated statutes which the people have all WAYS b6eu WllllllB tO lSelNe lO tllS QS- cision of their representatives, skilled in the science of legislation, whose general views on the main political issues of the day are well understood, Think of the possibility of securing a vote of fourteen millions of electors on the 4000 items of tariff bill, The oportunity to retire a representative who fails to be truly representative is all that the people wish and need to enforce their will.
 Certainly it is difficult for an im- partial observer to find anything in the actual government of MT. Roosevelt that harmonizes with what would be the government under Mr. Bryan if he could carry out his theories. MT. Roosevelt is doing everything in his power to avoid the condition which MT. Bryan's theories when put in practice would bring about.

have not cited the report or action of the National Association of Manu- facturers as conclusive upon the char acter of the present schedules, nor do I assume that the manufacturers of the country embrace all the classes who are interested in maintaining the protective system, for fully recog- nize that other classes, especially the farmers, are yitally concerned in some Of the schedules, All that | maintain is that when after a tariff law has been in force ten years and a repre- sentative body of protectlonists in principle and in interest whose busi- ness makes them familiar with the facts and who have no motive for mis- representation, adopt such a report as the one I have quoted from, it makes a case for investigation into the ex- isting tariff by congress for the pur- pose of determining how much revls- ion is needed.

MT. Bryan seems to be seeking some system of administering law under which the rich wrongdoer shall be certainly restrained, while the lawless poor shall escape He would have his judicial machinery adjusted to re- strict the violations of law by cor poration but would give freedom of action to the lawless members of q la Dor union. Indeed in the constitution of Ol1lahhoma, which he says is the greatest constitution ever written, this anomaly prevails. No one can be punished for violating an order of in- junction or restraint except after a verdict of a jury deciding that the violation was committed, and yet in the same constitution, corporation commission of an executive and ad- ministrative character, a body of lay men, authorized to make orders against railroads and other corpora tions is empowered, if it's orders are not obeyed, to change itself into court and after giving due process of law by a hearing to enforce it's own orders by a fine of $50 day until the order is performed.
