front completely on the tariff issue At
the outset IL was the Federalists who
favored protection. Then came the Re-
publicans to favor Il. with Massachusetts
and other centers opposed. Imagine a
Democratic Congress at the present time
circulating the speeches OF Thomas B.
Reed or Nelson DiGgley on the tariff.
OF the Republicans sending out as cam

-Federaiist Congress had the Hamil-
ton Report OF Manufactures" printed
and circulated.
All OF the tariff acts before 1916 were
largely makeshifts. intended TO meet the
exigencies OF the day. and none Of the
recognized authorities on the subject re-
gard them as having been framed with
any fixed policy in view. But when the
whole question was taken up that year
there was no financial condition that
rendered hasty action necessary. so that
q tariff bill expressing the ideas OF the
day could be framed. II required thirty
nine DAYS for the measure 10 run tha
legislative gamut from introduction In
the House 70 approval by the President.
During the consideration OF this tariff
bill the manufacturers appeared in the
interest of protective duties. These men
were forerunners OF the great army OF
lobbyists who nave swarmed around the
Capitol from that day to this.
Daniel Webster and Henry Clay took
conspicuous parts I'm the debate on this
bill. showing some OF the ability which
afterward made them famous. During
the voting on amendments more than
three-foUrths OF the members voted for
a protective duty on one article or an
other. yet on the final count practically
all the higher duties were cut out Of the
bill. The influence OF Hamilton and hts
Report on Manufactures was in eclipse.

FROM WOMARS
POINT OF VIEW

A millionaire. who knows how hard II
is to face the world without money, takes
a deep interest in boys and IN forming
clubs OF them wherein the desire 10 live
clean lives is encouraged in a practical
manner. They agree 10 pass by the habits
Of drinking and smoking. and in return
receive 81 as a beginning. 1 cent every
day for three years. and another 81 II
they end the three years with a clean
record.
No boy with spark Of ambition would
fail to take advantage Of such an offer.
and few boys can own bank book with
out feeling a desire TO add TO his savings
with some degree OF frequency. Some
boys reach manhood with the poorest
chance Of making a living. because they
must take any work they can find. but
the boy with modest savings can learn
a business with the idea OF securing a
partnership or Mt himself for some special
line Of work.
The longer live the more convinced
am that the habit of saving must begin
IN childhood Through the children We
are going to solve the problem OF poverty
II we bring them up to the habit OF
saving money instead OF spending It. and
II we start them properly with a bank
book and whatever we can spare TO fat

q little present OF money rather than
surfeit Of toys. but imagine the task OF
convincing parents would be more than I
would care to undertake. Yet they all
know that the average child is bored to
death with fovs
young man Of my acquaintance began
to earn money three years ago. He was
an only son and had been familiar with
luxury from babyhood. But his parents
happened TO be eminently sensible, and
after receiving the kind OF education he
preferred he was placed IN a well-estab-
lished business house and left to carve
out his own career. In the beginning he
was given the alternative OF paying board
or saving an equivalent sum each week.
and he chose to pay his mother. thinking
II might please her, as it did.
But every dollar OF that money has been
put away In the sons name and without
his knowledge. For three years money
has been accommodating, and when he
reaches the point where partnership Is
possible he VIII find money ready to buy
II, for he has saved for himself as we'll,
and that money has been credited on his
baby bank book. Fifty dollars was de-
posted fer him at birth and S25 was added
on each birthday. with SO at Christmas
time. You would hardly expect a son of
plenty 10 plan his Iuncheons to save
money. but this one does It as a matter
Of course. He has been reared as the
sons OF workingTnen should be. but are
not. for I see plenty OF those children
spending as many pennies IN one day as
are allowed IN a whole week in better
