HOW PROTECTION WORKS
On Both Exports and Wages Several Astonishing
 Facts

Washington April S-Governor Toss, of Massachusetts, who, in addition to his activities in politics, is a large manufacturer, and acquainted, there fore, with the operations of the tariff from a practical standpoint, is out with an interview in which he demon strates that tariff reduction would help, rather than hinder, the manu- featuring interests of this country.
 Exports have shown an increase recently" declared the Governor, "and from this fact it may be seen that manufacturing does not suffer under tariff reduction. While the Payne Aldrich law increased the tariff rates as Q whole, this law brought about re- auctions in certain articles, and a study of the effect such reduction had on the trade in these articles is mos, Illuminating.
 Under the Payne-Aldrich law the tax of 15 per cent. was taken from hides, and they were admitted free The rate on boots and shoes was re- duced from 25 per cent. to 15 per cent. and the rate on saddlery was cut from 35 per cent. to 20 per cent, and the rates on other manufacturers o1 leather were reduced. Yet under thesf reduced rates the value of our exports of leather manufacturers increased from s42.974.795 in 1909 to $52,646,755 -ir 1910, and $53, ,673,O56 in 1911.
 "The rate on iron ore was reduced from 40 cents a ton to 15 cents ton and the rate on pig iron, wrought ano cast, was cut from $4 a ton to $1 ton, yet the value of exports of iron and steel manufactures, the rate be- ing unchanged from the finished pre- duct, increased from $1H, ,951, ,357 ir 1909, to s17s,1S3,1s6 in 1910, to .$23o, 795,' 252 in 1911.
 "The rate on agricultural imple' mentS was reduced from twenty pel cent. to fifteen per cent, yet the value Of exports of agricultural implements increased from $25, ,9, 184 in 1909 to $28,- 124, ,033 in 1910, to $35, 973, 398 in 1911.' Gov. Foss also makes the astOnish- ing statement-astonishi when it is borne in mind that the protectionlsts have for years talked about a high tariff protecting American workmer that the workers in the unprotected industries in this country receive more than the workers in similar indus tries abroad, whereas the workers 1T the protected industries of America are not paid as much as their fellow workers in similar lines on the other side of the ocean, considered especial ly from the standpoint of what thell wages will buy. AS proof of this as' sertion he cites that American brick
 layers, carpenters, blacksmiths. etc. all of whom are engaged in labor or which there isn't a particle of protec. ton, get wages practically double those received in England for. similar work | whereas the steel and wOOlen mil
 workers of this country, all of whom are supposed to be 'protected'' by thu
 tariff, are paid hardly more, and il
 many instances actually less than mel
 who do the same kind of work abroad
 '"The fact is,'' says Gov. Floss
 American protectionists have defeat
 ed the object of protection, in theil
 sel6shness, and have arrested the de
 velopment of American commercial and industrial growth

Wisconsin's Governor

Governor McGOvern of Wisconsin, though not in thorough accord with the third party movement and with purpose to support the republican state, congressional legislative and county tickets, has declared his in tention to vote for Roosevelt and Johnson.
 Governor McGovern has given a reason for the faith that is in him. He is a progressive republican, was a supporter of LaFollette for the repub- lican nomination for the presidency throughout the preconvention cam paign and throughout the national convention. He was the candidate against Mir Root for the temporary chairmanship and was as thoroughly familiar as any other man, with the methods by which the regulars secured control of the convention.

MEXICO CIIYS POPULATION

tablished recently in various parts of the city in order to interest the poorer people of the city in why that are peaceful, one of the problems the pres ent government of the federal district has been studying for some months The invitation to attend them has been eagerly accepted. Agents were ap- pointed to select the films with a view to seeing that none of an objectionable class were shown
 Trousers are now to be provided by the government for the Mexican h. dians when they visit town. In the days of the Diaz regime repeated eff forts were made to induce the Indian population of the federal district to substitute real trousers for the white cotton limitations they wore, but never with any great success.
 Polite Mexico was not so much shocked by the appearance of her sim pie sons in apparel more suggestive of underwear than of pantaloons, as she was embarrassed. Her attitude was that of What will other people say?"
 The new regime is no less insistent that the Indians must dress up when they come to town; so Governor Con Zalez GarZa has decreed that they must abandon their white cotton clothing at the edge of the city where from gov ernment stores they will be compelled to purchase real trousers at fifty cen tavos a pair

As q spe- cial inducement, al companies and in dividuals owning ranches, who will de vote a prescribed portion of their land to fruit raising, will be exempted from payment of land taxes for a period of ten years, and will be advanced by the state authorities a sum equal to ten per cent. of the transportation charges to the nearest shipping point for their product, for a period of five years.

Johnson is in the form of a statement issued by him, as the head of the state ticket, to the people of Wisconsin to whom he owed it to define his atti- tude on national issues. One must now choose between so-called repub- licanism and progressive republican, ism.
 As a progressive republican, Gov ernor McGovern found himself op posed to almost everything repre- sented in the national ticket He support it Either as a progressive or a republican he felt himself ab- solved from allegiance to it for the following reason AS a republican I cannot support President Taft be- cause within the brief period of a single term he has wrecked great and historical political party As a progressive. I cannot support him be- cause he is utterly reactionary and grows more so every udN- Ile pio foundly distrusts the people and is utterly unfitted to lead them"
 The governor adds that the man. ner in which the nomination of MT Taft was secured relieved every re publican of his obligation to the na- tional ticket Tt was a challenge to the moral sense and self-respect of every member of the party"
 In the opinion of Governor Me Govern, the progressive republican turns in vain to the democratic party for an asylum. Governor Wilson, notwithstanding his whOlesOmeness, cleanliness, great gifts and American patriotism can attract no progressive republican, He is better than his party or it's platform. His tariff program is repellant.
 In concluding, the governor says: There remains the new progressive party Whether we judge it by it's platform, its ticket or the compost ton of the convention that gave it birth we are forced to the conclu- sion that above everything else it is genuinely and fearlessly progressive"

The California Conspiracy

A telegraphic dispatch from Los An geles, represented to have come through the Associated Press, states that telegrams have been received from leading Arizona republicans urg- ing the republicans of California to vote for Governor Wilson.
 This advice is given in consequence of the California supreme court de- cision granting to the Roosevelt cleo tors a place on the November ballot under the republican title and requir- ing that the names of the Taft cleo tors be written upon the ballot.
 Whether or not leading Arizona re- publicans are apprehensive that Cali fornia republicans do not know what is good for them, the latter knew what they were about when they forced the court to exclude the printed names of their electors from the official ballot.
 Though they need not have done so, the progressive republicans of that state elected to place the names of their electors on the ballot by peti- tion, only about 12,OO0 signatures be- ing required The same course, but no other, was open to the Taft repub- licans who plainly foresaw the result of their failure to do so. Having compiled with no requirement of the law, they could not, of course, get the names of their electors on the ballot
 It is apparent that this situation was deliberately precipitated with the purpose of solidifying the standpat re- publicans and the democrats against Colonel Roosevelt. Knowing that his vote in California would largely ex- ceed that of either MT Taft or Gov ernor Wilson, the republican leaders entertained the forlorn hope that the progressive vote would be less than the aggregate of the republican and the democratic vote. Hence the con spiracy to keep the republican party out of the contest in favor of it's democratic ally.
 But, undoubtedly the republicans of California, as well as the progressives and many democrats, are more deeply concerned in their own prosperity than they are in the political ambitions of any man or the political fortunes of any party. The prosperity of Cali fOrnia depends in a very large meas ure on a protective tariff. The cleo tion of Colonel Roosevelt assures such protection, and all who favor protection must turn to him.
 The conspiracy to throw the cleo toral vote of California to Governor Wilson aims at the abolition of the protective tariff to the destruction of which the democratic candidate is committed by his platform as well as by his own inclination

His HeIpfuI Enemies

Roosevelt Luck is a term applied by careless friends and minimizing enemies alike whenever in his sue cessfuI public career the former president has scored a triumph. We do not believe in luck. Successful results come from r-sightedness and earnest and skillful endeavor.
 Yet it does seem as if the enemies of MT. Roosevelt have been made or have made themselves contributory instruments for his upbuilding.
 We have another fine instance of their unintentional cooperation in the charges made by them relative to the campaign contributions of 1904. which have been made the subject of inquiry the past week by the sen ate committee Investigating cam paign expenditures.
 Every assertion made by Col. Roosevelt regarding matters of which he knew has been substantiated by reputable witnesses. His enemies failed to adduce any damaging evil dence which had been darkly hinted at for months He, therefore, comes out of the ordeal if the inquiry may be described by such d strenuous term as ordeal" strengthened by the failure of his enemies and with a greater measure of public confidence than ever.
 The period which the traducers of MT. Roosevelt selected was an un- fortunate one for them, but there could be no other. There was no other campaign than that of 1904 when campaign funds for his benefit could have been contributed. And there had been no other presidential campaign since the civil war when there was so little need of a large fund.
 We do not suppose that there was informed democrat in the country who believed that there was even a slight probability of the cleo ton of Judge Parker. In october, a month before the election, when ac- cording to the charges, the largest of the contributions were made, the democratic national fight was re- garded as a hopeless one. The pow erful influence of MT. Bryan was adverse rather than helpful as was that of MT. Hearst.
 There was a faint hope that New York might be carried for him and there the only serious effort was be- ing put forth. The evidence shows that all the money mentioned in the charges was contributed, if at all, for use in that state, in which MT. Roose- welt need not have felt a more than sympathetic interest. It was plain by that time that however New York might go, the national result would be unaffected.
