In ordinary affairs there is nc
difference between a tariff re
former and protectionist. They
meet together in society, in bust
ness, in the lodge room and in the
church. In their daily life they
apply the same rules and are
guided by the same business
rules. This similarity manifests
itself all through life and up to the
very hour Of death. If a protec-
zionist makes a will, he makes
it upon the same plan that the
tariff reformer follows. He does
not give all of his property to one
child and say that he trusts the
child to deal fairly with the rest
of the family. Why? Because
he knows his children and would
not put a child in a position
4 where selfiShness might lead him
to do an injustice to the other
members of the family. And he
is wise in not placing this temp
tation before one of his own fam
lily. But when a protectionist
comes to make a tariff law, he
1 acts upon an entirely different
plan; he votes millions, yes hun
dreds of millions of dollars to
manufacturers whom he has
never seen, and trusts them to be
just in the distribution of the
trust fund among their employees.
