should have tariff for revenue only,
which is a beautiful theory but
which has nearly ruined every ma
tion that has ever undertaken it. In
England it has driven nearly one
third of the people to pauperism
and in this country it would close
half our factories and reduce the
earnings of every man who works
for wages.
The theories of the Republican
party are the Only safe ones for the
working man and the farmer. The
fault is not with the theories but
with the way they are carried out.
We need protection just as much as
we ever did but not such large gobs
of it. We have built up our national
industries to a point where they in
fiuence legislation in their own in
terest through over protection.
The industrial interests built up
under protection have put this coun-
try tremendously ahead of every
other country on the face of the
globe. The nearest approach to il
is in Germany where a very similar
protective system has been carried
not. We don't want to ruin these
great industries but the time has
come when it is essential to pay the
attention of government to the con-
sumner. The great industries are en-
titled TO profts-fair profits on hon
est capital-but not to roll in wealth
at the expense of the people.
Congress has been the tool of capl-
tai long enough. If our present sen
ators and Representatives cannot I'M
tie themselves from the moorings
where they have been anchored
through the recent special session
and do it now it is time the voters
replaced them with some who can.
Three of them are asking for re-
election next year DO the consum-
ers, the working men, the farmers,
the plain citizens want them or do
they want to try a change in one or
more of the places? Vermont is not
deficient in men who can be trusted
to maintain the protective principle
in the interests of square deal to
the rank and file.
