that will never again occupy the place in American politics that it has in the past
 That is the argument that a high protection wall is necessary to en- able American manufacturers to com pete in home markets with foreign manufactured goods.
 The reason this stock protectionist argument will never again perform the same valuable mission for the republicans is because of a speech delivered in the house by William c. Redfield of New York, who is 8 manufacturer himself. and who for IS years has been selling American manufactures in foreign countries.
 Redfield contended and proved that the difference in daily wage at home and abroad should not be the sole basis of determining the amount of protection to be applied to giv- en article.
 He cited instance after instance in which he sold articles manufactured by s a day American empIoyes in countries where labor received less than one dollar a day.
 Redfield took the position that American manufacturers did not need as much protection as they were now enjoying ito protect them from foreign competition" because
 -....or.e,,rl,- c0ssnofspr~ r-fsf foreign manufacturers in all parts of the world.
 How does it happen" demanded Redfeld, that in a quotation recent iy made for machinery to mine in Japan the American price was s215 less than the English price?
 How does it happen that 720 American locomotives are running upon the Japanese railways, and upon the railways of Formosa and upon those of Manchuria? These are sold in open competition with the makers in Great Britain
 Redfield related an incident be- tween an American salesman who recently took large contract from the Japanese Imperial State railways and one Of the managers of the I'm perial railways shop.
 The Japanese official was under the impression that he could manu. facture. locomotives cheaper than an American plant because Japanese wages are but one fifth of American wages.
 Both men got out their cost books" said Redfield, and they found that the fact was the labor cost for locomotives on the same specifications was three and one half times greater in the Japanese shops than in the American shops. And this is a perfectly normal fact and not an abnormal one"
 Redfield said when he was in Cal cutta, Indi recently, his agent point ed to pair of American made shoes he was wearing.
 T paid sS.S5 for those shoes" said the agent. Tt is the regular American s5 shoe"
 Redfield said that when he re- turned to New York he found the same shoe selling on Broadway for s5. T shall be glad to give names and addresses to any member who inguires in private"
 Redfield gave score of similar instances. It is impossible to do justice to his remarkable revela- ton in this dispatch Every reader of this article may secure, free of charge, a copy of the complete sDeech, without doubt one of the most remarkable of its kind ever made in congress, by writing Hon James T. Lloyd, chairman, National Democratic Congressional Committee, Washington, D. c.
