The Lamar register., 1912-08-21

ed in veto message of the presi-
dent yesterday:
II am not willing to approve of
legislation of this kind, which vi
tally affects not only millions of
workingmen and the families de-
pendent on them. but hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of stocks
of goods in the hands of store
keepers and distributors generally
without first providing for a
careful and disinterested inquiry
into the conditions of the whole
industry"
The democratic party, with that
incapacity for government which 1t
has always shown. proposed a few
weeks ago to place sugar upon the
ireA list for the benefit of the sug-
ar trust which refines all foreign
sugar. But the democratic party
at the same moment would destroy
the American sugar beet and cane
industry in which 100000 of
American capital is invested and
in which thousands of western and
southern farmers are interested.
This act of the democratic party
would rob the government of $780,
900. 900 of yearly drevenue, with
nothing to take its place. Happily,
however, the republicans In the
senate, one and all. refused to sac
rifice the American industry for
the benefit of the sugar trust and
the bill will never be passed as
free trade measure.
A protective tariff needs adjust
ment in an honest and scientific
way as occasion may arise and the
conditions warrant changes. But
1t should never be revised by dem
ocratic free traders who are its
enemies. The republican party is
and will be a party favoring the
protective tariff because that tariff
helps to build up the United States.
and at the same time gives to the
government the revenue which II
must have. Every Colorado voter
has vital interest in this ques-
tion, for 1t concerns his own pros
perity and that of many Industries
