WILSON WOULD REPEAL ALL
PROTECTIVE TARIFF LAWS.

The following Is taken from
an address delivered by Pro
fessor Woodrow Wilson before
the tariff board in 1882, showing
his view then on the question
of the tariff and the distinct an
nouncement Of his position as
free trader, opposed to all
tariffs except merely for the pur-
pose of raising revenue:
"But the danger of imposing
protective duties Is that when
the policy Is once embarked
upon 1t cannot be easily receded
from. Protection is nothing
more than a bounty, and when
we offer bounties to manufacture
ers they will enter into indus
tries and build up interests and
when at later day we seek to
overthrow this protective tariff
we must hurt somebody and of
course there Is objection They
will say, Thousands of men will
be thrown out of employment
and hundreds of people will lose
their capital This seems very
plausible; but l maintain that
manufacturers are made better
manufacturers whenever they
are thrown upon their own re-
sources and left to the natural
competition of trade"
y = =
Protection also hinders COM
merce immensely. The English
people do not send as many
goods to this country as they
would If the duties were not so
much and in that way there is
a restriction of commerce and
we are building up manufactor-
les here at the expense Of com
merce. We are holding our
selves aloof from foreign coun-
tries In effect *and saying, We
are sufficient to ourselves: we
wish to trade, not with England,
but with each other | main
tain that 1t Is not only per
nicious system, but a corrupt
system.
by Commissioner Garland:
@, Are you advocating the re-
peal Of all tariff laws?
"A. OF all protective tariff
laws; of establishing a tariff for
revenue merely. 1t seems to me
very absurd to maintain that we
shall have free trade between
different portions of this country
and at the same time shut our
selves out from free communica-
tfon with other producing ooun-
tries of the world. If 1t is neces-
sary to impose restrictive duties
on goods brought from abroad 1t
would seem to me as a matter
Of logic, necessary to impose
similar restrictions on goods
taken from one state of this
Union to another. That follows
as a necessary consequence;
there is no escape from it."

HAS CHANGED AS CANDIDATE
Woodrow Wilson's Speeches Now
Those Of Office Seeker.

Scattered among the platitudes of
DR. Wilson's speech of acceptance are
some truths. None is more significant
than this:
I'VE stand in the presence of an
awakened nation, impatient Of partisan
make believe"
Following which he makes believe
that he is telling the voters Of the coun-
try his position on the campaign issues.
No one has yet been able to determine
from a reading Of the speech precisely
what that position is. Some slight en-
1ightenment comes from time to time
in his later utterances, like, for ex-
ample, the declaration the other day
that Tammany Is to be safe from his
assaults; but none Of 1t Is satisfying.
DR.. Wilson, in the preconvention
days, was represented to the country
as a scholarly gentleman, too lofty of
mind to practice the wiles Of the pro-
fessional politician. too earnest in the
cause Of good government to be aught
but frank and fearless in his express
sion, too unselfish to put private ambi-
tion above the public veal, too idealis-
tic In character to truckle to the forces
of evil in the nation.
But how singularly he has masked
all Of these qualities since William
Jennings Bryan forced his nomination
at Baltimore.
There IL no difference, save in the
purity Of the English, between his
speeches and the speeches of the pro-
fessional office seeker Of the worst
period in American politics. He steps
pussy footed over all the large ques-
tions Of the day. He exhibits a sus-
piciously broad tolerance for all ele-
ments in the body polite. even the
elements which, to nominate him, Bry-
an found 1t expedient to denounce by
name In the convention. There is
none of the rugged frankness of ut
terance that characterized his writings
in the days before he was inoculated
with the virus of political ambition
He is proving over apt as an advanced
student Of practical politics.
1t IL not pleasant nor a heartening
exhibition he makes Of himself. The
right minded citizen can feel nothing
but sadness In contemplating man
Of education and culture so intent
upon partisan and personal victory
that he sacrifices those ideals of truth
and honesty for which he has always
stood to fawn upon and honeyfugle
the voters.
Dr. Wilson as q candidate is not in
character with the DR.. Wilson that
was pictured to US prior to the Balti-
more convention. This awakened ma
tion. impatient Of partisan make be-
Hsvs." detects the difference.
