discrimination is no proof that the
tariff is responsible.
In an industrially prosperous, high
wage country like America prices are
always higher than in an industrialIy
%stagnant, low-wage country like Great
Britain. The ability of the consum-
ing public to pay unquestionably in
fuences the price it is asked to pay.
Moreover, operating expenses of all
kinds are very much higher in this
country than In England.
But assuming that the tariff is
responsible for some of this discrimina.
ton, it would be wrong on that &C.
count TO condemn the protection
systems, ever if it holds certain
inequities, without considering the
compensation benefits which go hand
in hand with higher prices.
If we turn to the report of the
British commission on retail prices of
commodities and rates Of wages,
which conducted Investigations here
in 1911, we find this paragraph
The cost of food and rent combined
is 50 per cent greater in the United
States than in England and Wales,
but these heavier relative charges on
working class income have been &C.
complished with weekly wages which
are as $50 to 100.
In other words, the sum which the
average American workman earns in
excess of his British brother is nearly
three times as great as the sun his
living cost exceeds that Of his British
brother.
The report goes on to say that the
ratio of money earnings being nor
than two and one fourth times as
great in America as in England and
Wales ''makes possible in America a
command of necessaries, conveniences
and minor luxuries Of life both
nominally and really greater than
that enjoyed by the corresponding

effective margin in practice is curtail-
ed by a case of expenditure, to some
extent necessary and to some extent
voluntary. adopted in accordance with
the different and higher standards of
material comfort. !"
The primary explanation for all
this is that England is a free
trade" country, while America is a
protection" country. A protective
tariff, even when equitably levied,
adds to the cost of living, but it adds
SO much more to the wage scale, and
TO the amount of employment, makes
possible such "higher standards of
material comfort, that the loss
compared with the gain dwindles into
insignifcance.
To oppose excessive protection be-
cause it only serves to burden the
many for the enrichment Of the few
is legitimate. But to confuse such
opposition with opposition to the
protection principle, because protec-
tion of any degree adds something to
living cost, is to think narrowly,
without regard for the greater COM
pensations which protection brings

RATHER THAN MARRY
BALTIMORE CLERGYMAN WAS
TOLD THAT MARRIAGE WAS
BEST FOR HIM..

Baltimore, April %. The Rev. Dr.

Episcopal church, has Withdrawn
from the church because OF obstacles
placed in the way of his progress in
the ministry owing to his being a
bachelor.

been swayed by monetary considera-
tions," said Albert Loose, a leading
member of the ChatswOrth church. of
which Doctor Costin was pastor. "be'
cause he has declined positions in col
leges that would have paid him 81
200 year or more. He loves the
ministry. but he wants to have the
promotion he deserves. Finally, the
bishop told him he would have TO get
married il he expected to advance in
the Baltimore conference.
AT the meeting of the conference
this week, Doctor Costin went to
Bishop Cranston and said: Have |

ence has for me- Then the bishop
asked him the same question about
getting married. and said TO him-not
in so many words. but to this effect

would be equivalent to holding all Of

O|SG|SS|ON Of PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS:
CASE Of WAR TO SURRENDER ISLANDS

OF the islands in case OF war would
be but temporary He said that the
United States would certainly eyentu-
ally yanqush its opponents, and that
even the islands could be resaned
Rear Admiral \. e. Twinine, CHIEF
OF the ordnance bureau in the navy
department. declares that in his opin-
ion il would be perfectly possible for
the United State to mold the phil
igpnes against any foreign power,
with the defenses now being built
and those planned.
Il do not see why it would be nee
essary for this country TO give up the
islands in case of war said Admir-
al Twining. by holding the strate-
gic points it would be possible to
keep control of the islands. OF course
it would he possible for foreign ma
tion to land troops and do anything
else they desired in other parts of
the islands, but by doing this they
would gain nothing.
Without capturing Manila the for
,eign force would be just wehre they
started Manila Bay is being forti-
fled so that it could withstand at
tack until the Unitd States navy
could get on the ground. Manila, OF
course, would be the point an enemy
would try to capture. FOR without it
our opponents would be practically
wasting their time"
Rear Admiral Wainwright t. s ".
retired, member of the naval board.
declared that Gen. Edwards is ex-
tremely well posted on Philippine af-
fairs. and should know whereof he
was speaking when he made the
statement to the Senate Finance
committee. He said that few men
are better qualified to speak on Phil
ippine affairs.
But | know that the general SEN
timent among navy men. and. think
army men as well. is that the fortifi-
cations around Manila Bay should be
made strong enough to withstand the
attack of opposing force until the
United States could get a fleet on
scene to disperse it," said Admiral
Wainwright. Il am strongly in favor
of President Taft's plan to control
the Philippines until the people of
the islands are in a position to con
troll their own affairs. That time is
still far off, in my opinion, and that
means that the United States must
retain the islands for a number of
years yet"
Among members of the foreign ser
vice club, or organization made up of
men who have served the United
States abroad, both in the army and
navy and in civil service positions,
discussions We're rife over Gen. Ed
wards statement. Some of the mem
bers agreed with him, while others
disagreed. Practically all thought
everything possible should be done
by the United States to hold the is
lands against foreign attack
In my opinion, the United States
can hold the islands against the at
tack of almost any foreign nation"
said DR.. \. l.. Downs. secretary of
the club. Mr.. Downs was in the Phil
ippines in the government service fol
lowing the Spanish-American war.
Whether We could hold them against
Japan is a mooted question" he con-
tinued. but there is no doubt in MY
mind that the Notifications at Man

I'm my judgment, much of the
confusion which now exists to dis
courage and to embarrass is to be at
triiuted to the circumstance that i'm
partial comprehensive, thoughtful ad-
vice has not been afforded by those
who are primarily interested and
whose experience is more essential
to correct understanding stead
OF depending upon advice or the de
mand of specialized interests. We
must have common Judgment Of
commerce and industry, and to get
that common Judgment We must have
a common representation. There is
the meaning OF the organization
which is here proposed.
In other countries the relation
between the government and the in
dustries and the commerce is so
close that the board of trade forms
an immediate part of the government
itself. This We may not be able to
accomplish and may not want TO
nave. But to my mind it is true
beyond the possibility OF refutation
that by some means we must estab.
llSh a common commercial represen-
tation, which shall sustain a relation
to the government for purposes OF

tion with respect to proposed meas

clothed with national charter $50
