presence is undesirable. The repub-
lican party, therefore, says to him:
Unless You consent to be an Am
erican consumer, YOU shall not be
an American producer You must be
an American in both respects or you

Republican laws against imported
contract labor are of the same class
But for these laws manufacturers
would go abroad. hire laborers at the
European scale of wages, and bring
them TO this country under contract
to work below the American scale.
This was once the practice to the
prejudice not only of labor, but to
the prejudice of the American farm
er as we'll. Low wages compel poor
living. and poor living harms the
farmer and the manufacturer also,
for it restricts the consumptive ca

But every modern nation has
abandoned the revenue tariff long

ain; and Great Britain also is rapid
iy abandoning it, Most of her SELF
governing colonies have protective
tariffs; Canada has adopted the pro-
tactive tariff system which we repnb

of the British Empire that still cling.

An adviser Of three presidents, d

De the engineer of our destiny.
He knows that laws must be pass
Cd Tor the interests of labor and laws

clearer than statesmen of the pres

the need for tariff revision-a revis-
