WHERE PROTECTION IS REALLY
NEEDED.


Senator Cummins states the case
aptly when he says that while he IS
still protectionist bis solicitude is
for the consumer rather than for the
manufacturer Even those who In
sist that there was a time when the
manufacturer needed to be protected
from the "pauper labor OF Europe
must see that now Il is the consumer
who needs to be protected from their
battle cry The fact is that Senator
Cummins and those other republicans
who have been dubbed insurgents be
cause they demand a decrease rather
than an increase of tariff rates are
the only consistent followers OF the
protectionist philosophy The sehis-
matics are the Aldriches and Cannons.
Early day proteetionists advocated
high tariffs with the argument that
they would, by fostering protection at
home, create competition and thus
bring down the cost of commodities
to q minimum Il can not be denied
that under the hothouse style OF cult.
vation production was greatly lncreas.
ed, and for a brief. evanescent nom
ent prices were low as a consequence.
AS measure OF temporary expedi-
ence protectionism was a success. But
this happy state of affairs lasted only
long enough for the manufacturers TO
discover that they were no longer
getting the benefits Of protection. The
moment they discovered that compet-
ition almost ceased prices bounded up
to the level of the tariffs allowance.
Protecting them from European com
petition enabled our manufacturers TO
al their energies on the
task of exploiting the consumer. The |
infant industries which were fostered |
with so much solieitude have shown |
more strength than gratitude. They |
are like the tabled asp which bit the |
breast that warmed Il into life, and |
Il motives of resentment could be ad,
nitted into the consideration of
economic matters, we could find In the
ngratitude OF our manufacturers
abundant reason f6.4subiect them to
he competition Of free trade. II pro-
ection was excusable as a means Of
up a manufacturing industry
he reason for the existence of that
policy long ago passed away II is
he consumers who need protection,
md It can be given TO them only by
ubiecting our manufacturers to
oreign competition.-Dall News.

OFFER TO DONATE
SITE FOR HOTEL
Messrs. Orr And Thompson Offer Site
at Corner Of Wilson And South
Avenue.

AS an inducement to get the loca
tion of the proposed new hotel on
their property on South Wilson street,
Messrs. J w. Orr. w. p. Thompson
and e. L. Orr have submitted a prop
osition, in writing, to the Commercial
club to give the site free of cost to
the hotel company that viii erect a
$4,000 hotel thereon. This leaves a
bonus of $4,000 to be raised to accept
the proposition of Messrs. Burt and
Ryan, and 1t is understood that other
South Wilson street property owners
have agreed to raise this amount
The site offered for the hotel by
the Messrs. Orr and Thompson is at
the corner Of Wilson street and South
avenue and faces east. The location
is considered excellent. and It is likely
some action win be taken in regard
to this proposition at the meeting Of
the Commercial club tonight.

officers. They claim that unless such
revision is made before the next regu-

made to apply to the county officers
who would already have taken their
seats for another term. owing to the
provision of the constitution which
provides that the salary or emolu-
ments Of a public officer cannot be
changed during his term OF Office
The application of this provision of
the constitution has never been passed
upon BY the courts Of the state and is,
therefore, an open question. Some
good lawyers take the position that
the inhibition contained would not
apply to any officers created by law,
but merely 10 those created by the
constitution.
