INVOLVEMENT CONTRASTS.

That is OF course an appalling exhl-
hilton which Governor Wilson's sup
norters are making in their Chamber
of Horrors Of the contrast between tne
prices of certain things In England ana
In America. 1.-THE price comparison oe
clares Mr.. Blkus, sis instructive De
"yond our expectation. 1t proves that
"the high tariff simply means extortlon-
"ate prices to the American consumer
"aII along the line" With all due DEF
erence and humility, however, 1t may De
submitted that the exhibition would De
more complete If 1t included, along
with mousetraps, witch hazel soap,
glace gloves and other necessaries OF
life that commodity which is after all
the most important and universal IN
the world, to wit, human labor
Here is a portentous table OF con-
trasts, which shows that a mousetrap
in London costs only two cents while
in New York II costs three. But
while, we are shuddering at such hid
cons thrift extortion, why not have
reminder that the mason, whose wife
may want the mousetrap in her kitchen,
gets I'm London only q cents an hour,
while in New York he gets 90 centsE
II is indeed instructive to gaze upon
hammer which costs so cents in Lon
don and SO cents in New York. But
what shall we say about the carpenter
who wiehs the hammer, and who gets
only u cents an hour in London against
n cents I'm New York? A mans suit
Of clothes costs only S5S2 in London
and So in New York. But how about
the bricklayer who wears it, and who
gets only q cents an hour in London,
against 65 cents in New York? Break
fast food Of some kinds may cost only
10 cents in London and be laden with
the extortionate cost Of 10 cents in New
York: but the blacksmith who eats 1t
gets only IS cents an hour IN London,
while in New York he gets SO cents.
II is distressing, Of course, to think
that while we could get cold cream In
London for 4 cents we have to spend
10 cents for 1t in New York; but, then,
the poor plasterer who purchases 1t
NAV console himself with the knowl-
edge that he would get only % cents
an hour in London, while be gets 6S
cents here. While we are showing off
the cheapness Of gloves and perfumes
and split bamboo fshrods in London,
why not complete the exhibit and in
form this public that in London the
pay Of policemen ranges from So 70 to
$1,000 a week, and that the average
wages Of railroad engineers, conduc-
tors and guards in England are Sc 80,
in Scotland So 81 and in Ireland So
week? While we are comparing or
contrasting prices, let us contrast the
price Of labor as well as Of other
things. And if the cost Of living is
taken into account, let us not omit such
items as this, that while the average
man In England can afford, or at least
consumes, only 119 pounds Of meats in
a year, his American cousin gets 1877
pounds.
We have an idea that such complete
price comparisons would, as Mr.. Elkus
says Of the incomplete and partial
show, be instructive beyond eXpecta-
ton. But it might not be convenient
to the deft jugglers of the Chamber Of
Horrors

ORATOR PUFF IN PITTSBURGH.

Our Orator Pun is resting In Prince
ton, but the air is still filed with
the echoes OF his two voices. On his
recent trip to Pittsburgh, where Tariff
Chambers Of Horrors are not popular,
he exhibited in more striking light
than ever his extreme versatility as
vote-hunting economist. Did he tell
Pittsburgh, as he has told New York,
that protection is In itself an injury to
labor and industry and that protective
duties Of any sort work oppression and
Injustice to every man, woman and
child In the United States? Not at all.
Orator Puff knows his business, and in
protected Pittsburgh he appeared not
as the destroyer but simply as the
rationalizer of a badly adjusted tariff
system. Nobody could have guessed
from Governor Wilson's remarks In
the great centre of industry at the
junction Of the Allegheny and Monon-
gahela rivers that he was not In real
ity as sincere n well-wisher as the
protective system has ever had.
Here IS the gist Of his message TO
Pittsburgh workingmen and manu-
facturers:
They 1.-THE present schedulesl do not
constitute a system OF we'll considered
protection. On the contrary, they en-
body innumerable cunningly devised
and carefully concealed special favors.
and particular groups Of capitalists
and manufacturers have taken advan-
tage of these special favors 10 build
monopoly up in a way that Is threat
ening and dangerous to every new and
independent. enterprise. Our field Of
industry is like an INTENDED garden.
Some Of the plants have so overshad-
owed the rest as TO give them no
chance Of light or air. Their roots,
moreover, have monopOliZed the soil,
and new growths are all but impos-
sible. II we would have stable pros
perity we must admit light and air
and freedom into the whole process OF
our Industrial life, and 1t is with that
object that the Democrats will APP
proach the revision of the tariff. Their
desire is not to check, but TO aid, not
to embarrass, but to quicken.
That is just the policy Of every
honest believer in the economic eff
cacy Of protection. What Mr. Wilson
said could have been said by Garfield,
or Mckinley or Taft-by any one who
understands the true purpose Of pro
lection and wants to see the system
do its work in the most satisfactory
manner. Monopoly, or any approach
to monopoly, defeats the primary aim
Of protection, which is to create
healthy competition behind the tariff
wall If no such competition results
the rational protectionist would be the
first to remove the wall; so there is
nothing in Governor Wilson's argu-
ment which would not be Endorsed by
any competent protectionist authority.
But how far this mild profession Of
a desire to improve the protective sys-
TEN is from the ruthless Chamber Of
Horrors denunciation Of all protection
as not only prOtitless but as positively
injurious! Orator Puff Is eager 10

willing to be a wolf with the raven

is THIS HYPOCRISY?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Some two weeks ago in their pere-
CARNATIONS Woodrow Wilson and President
Taft met at New Haven cordially greet
ing each other. Mr.. Wilson remarked
that he had always been fond OF Presl-
dent Taft. At that time he was abusing
Colonel Roosevelt; now in his speeches he
IS praising Roosevelt, while bitterly assall-
ing President Taft. Such a hypocritical
spirit is not often evinced by public men,
but Woodrow Wilson seems to be capable
OF displaying 1t on many occasions.
