Bisbee daily review., 1911-05-28

There has been a deal of backing and filling over the proposed wool
 schedule of thls democratic con-
 gress. Shall it be suc- a revision as John G. Carlisle would have made
 or shall 1t be such a reaction as Samuel J. Randall would have given us7 Shall the work of the democratic
 majority of the Sixty-secono cou-
 gress be Germanized, as was the
 work Of the democratic majority Of the Fifty-third congress? Shall we
 be overwhelmed in another wave or
 party perfidy and party dlshonor? If there is anything firmly estab-
 iished ss a democratic policy 1t is free wool, for schedule K Is the cit adel of protection and the duty on raw wool the keystone of the tariff arch. As long as we have taxed
 wool we will have protective tariff. snd the day wool goes on the free
 list the tariff wall will tremble, ana soon thereafter it will fail. Carlisle said so and Aldrfch says so. Only a few days ago Mfr. Aldrich said wool is the crux of the protective policy. Why have two parties that favor 2 tax on wool? If both parties are 10: 1t. what was all that election row about last year? If the country Is for a tax on wool. why did the peS- ple turn out the republicans. wko be- lieve in it and set up the democrats. all whose leaders of any sort Of democratic character since and in cludIng James Guthrie have acgo- eated free wool.
 The issue is plain and simple and sharp. The democratic idea is free woodland other raw materials he is bound to use-for the woolen manu- facturer and then compel him to compete with the foreign manufac- turer by placing a duty strictly for revenue on his finished product. In the first place that would give the people cheaper clothing, cheaper
 blankets, cheaper carpets, which would cheapen the cost of living enor- mously. Second. it would force the manufacturers to make woolens for the foreign trade, and that would en- large the plant, give employment to more labor, supply a larger market to the wool grower and afford ,n- vestment for more capital.
 That Is the democratic i6ea. The republican idea is a protective duty on raw wool, dye-stuff, machinery, building materials and everythine else the wooden manufacturer has tc buy. Then pile up the protection on bis finished monopoly of the Amer ican market for woolens, such as clothing, hats, carpets, blankets and everything made of wool. But, says some fellow, "Ill never consel' to free wool SD long as the manu facturer has protection" No more will l. We propose to give him Tree raw materials and then take from him every scran of protection not found in a tariff on finished products so constructed as to in- yite and stimulate importations O vcolen goods. That was the position of Cleveland and Carlisle, of Morri son and Mills, of William l.. Wilson l and Henry G. Turner and I'll say his-it has ever been the position l ways ] have discharged as many I shafts at the marchless" as any 3ody else. I was opposed to him 1 when many of those now abusing ! 5im were in his train, shieking 1 Noel" and striving to touch the . lem of his garment. but l always . law in Bryan a genuine tariff re- ormer of the Cleveland, not the . German, of the Morrison, not the ] Randall, type.
