WILSON WOULD REPEAL ALL
PROTECTIVE TARIFF LAWS.

The following Is taken from
an address delivered by Pro
feseor 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:
"put the danger of imposing
protective duties is that when
the policy is once embarked
upon It cannot be easily reoeded
from Protection is nothing
more than a bounty, and when
we offer bounties to manufactur-
ere they will enter into indus
tries and build up interests and
when at a later day we seek to
overthrow this protective tariff
we must hurt somebody and OF
course there is objection. They
will gay, Thousands Of men win
be thrown out OF employment
and hundreds OF people will lose
their capital This seems very
plausible; but | maintain that
manufacturers are made better
manufacturers whenever they
are thrown upon their own re-
sources and Left to the natural
competition OF trade"
.
Protection also htnders COM
meroe immensely. The English
people do not eend as many
goods TO this country as they
would II the duties were not 30
much and IN that way there Is
o restriction Of commerce and

WILSON MEN ABIDE TINE.
The original Wilson men on the
delegation, Of whom there are six
or eight, did not make a fight to
have the delegation change at once.
These men took the view that moth
ing would be gained by starting a
fight in the caucus, but that their
purpose would be accomplished
more easily little later on after it
had become more apparent that
Clark could not be nominated. The
vote TO remain with Clark for the
present was practically unanimous.
The caucus continued past the
hour set for the converting of the
session, and for the first time
since the convention opened the Hi
nois delegates were not in their seats
when it was called to order. Illinois
was passed when its name was reach
ed on the first roll call. but the dele
