IS IT RIGHT OR wRoNGe

Protection is either right or wrong.
The Tariff is either graft inspired by
greed, as the Free-Trader claims, or it
Is benefcient thing that should be
borne by all without complaint. If Pro-
lection is robbery and Free-Trade is
right, let Free-Trade be carried to its
logical conclusion. Let wool and woolen
clothing be admitted into the country
free; let hides and footwear both be
free; let breadstuffs and meat products
be free; let the working people who la
Dor in the factories buy their food in
competition with the products of Cana
da and tropical countries and let the
owners of the factories sell their goods
in competition with the pauper and
poorly paid labor of Europe. Carry the
doctrine out to its legal deduction, and
apply it at home. Let foreign and tran
sient dealers come into our town, stay
few days and sell their bankrupt
stocks without let, hindrance or local
taxes in competition with our merch-
ants. Then we, who do live even in
agricultural communities and produce
nothing, could all live cheaper. This
would be carrying Free-Trade to its
logical conclusion.
Now the injustice in the whole ques-
tion is in the discrimination. If one
article is Protected, another ought to
be. Ifwool is free then woolen clothing
ought to be free. 1fhides are free then
boots, shoes and harness should also be
free. But here comes in the labor ques-
tion and the interests of the wage earn
er. Should not his labor be Protected?
No, not if the traiff is taken off from
all agricultural products and absolute
Free-Trade prevails. He must take his
chances with the rest of us. So the
opposite of the proposition is true, If
one man 5 interests are Protected by a
Tariff all ought to be. There should
either be consistent policy of Protec-
ton or we should try Free-Trade.
Is any statesman wise enough to for
'nulate policy that would be equitable,
wise and just and fair to all sections of
the country? 1t doesn't look like it,

chow much ignorance there is about the

three years ago-a homespun-'from a
big importing house in Chicago. Now,
with labor employed in this country at

before, and with the tariff on woolens
not changed a single iota, we get a
circular saying that owing to an in
crease in the Tariff the price Of these
clothes will have to be advanced 25 per

and was charged double price by the
storekeeper on account of the new tar
rif; but Mr.. Hit had with him copy
of the new tariff bill, and showed the
merchant that it did not change at all
the Tariff on rubber overshoes. The
