La F0LLETTE.SK|
AHEAD IN NARRATIVE
TOLAMBAST TARIFF
Senator, In Magazine, Calls
Payne Act Greatest Out
rage In History"

NEW YORK, Nov. A.-United States
Senator La Toilette skips far ahead in
his biography in the current number of
the American Magazine and describes in
detail his idea of the difference be-
tween progressive" and a stand
pat on the tariff question.
Quoting from "Blaine's Twenty Years
In Congress-" the Senator writes:
Protection sss* does not invite
competition from abroad but Is based
on the contrary principle, that competi-
ton at home will always prevent mon
opoly on the part of capitalists, assure
good wages to the Iaboring man and
defend customers against the evils of
extortion.' ,
But the trouble" says La Toilette,
has been that domestic competition did
not prove the strong regulator of COM
merce that the early protectionists be-
lieved 1t would. Money interests began
to form monopolies behind the tariff
wall and both consumers and wage
earners began to suffer from extortion.
Tariff Differences.
1.-THE difference in view of the tarifr
between the progressive Republicans
and the so-called stand pat republi-
cans, lies exactly here. The progress
sives have seen this vast revolution in
economic conditions and have recog-
nized the need of radical changes in our
tariff system while the stand pat Re-
publicans, led by Aldrich. Penrose,
Lodge, Smoot, and others, have refused
to recognize the changed conditions.
They believe in keeping the tariff wall
as high as possible. Notwithstanding
the growth of extortionate monopolies.
They believe 1t is more important to
keep up the profits Of the combined
manufacturers than to keep down the
prices Of the people. The passage of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill Of 1909 was
the most outrageous assault of private
interests upon the people recorded in
history"
Asks Tariff Board.
Senator La Toilette enters a plea for a
scientific tariff commission to determine
the proper tariff rates in future but
says the present commission is useless
for the purpose for which It was in
tended. He declares the tariff experts
should be at the service of Congress
instead Of the semi-confidential ad-
visers OF the President.
For 1t is Congress-" he says, (Which
is charged with the duty Of framing
tarin laws. We do not want to pro-
tect raw material like lumber and
phosphates, where protection merely
adds to the exhaustion of our natural
resources"
