President Taft's C a m p a i 6 n
speeches read a good deal like those
of man who sees things upside

American labor can be protected
by tariffs equal to the difference be-
tween American time-wages, which
are low relatively to productiveness
and foreign time-wages, which are
high relatively to productiveness
belongs in a collection of curiosities
along with President McKinley's no.

many other people, however, ad'
here to Mr.. Taft's doctrine about
this method of protecting labor
that its inverted character is no
absolutely assured. When the up
side down to you comes right sid'
up to your neiehbors, you can't b.
4 quite sure that it really is upside
down. So Mr.. Taft has had tn
benefit of the doubt: But now tn
