PROMINENCE OF TARIFF.

Nobody need be surprised that
in the new Republican campaign
textbook the tariff issue receives
lengthy discussion The tariff has
been with Us longer than any other
question. The first piece Of gen
eraI legislation signed by the first
President Of the United States deal,
with that issue This was the meas
ure signed by George Washington
on July 4. 1890, which rcc,cd IN is
preamble. among other things. that
IL was intended for the encourage
ment and protection Of manufac.
lures" Between the Madison act Of
1870 and the Payne law Of 1909 Con
grcss spent more time over tariff
legislation than il did over any other
question. A roster Of the names aud
dates Of the various tariff acts 81
the past century and fifth would
ill large space in newspaper
or IN a campaign handbook.
Most Of the tariff measures which
went on the statute book had pro
lection for one OF their objects. In
general Il was the leading object.
Except the Clay compromise tariff
OF 1893, which reduced duties on a
steadily declining scale. the Walker
act of ls46. the law Of 1857. and
the Wilson German measure Of 1894.
searly all OF the tariffs had protcc-
ton. directly and avowedly ar midi
rceily. as one Of their purposes.
Even the act Of 1894, as reshaped
by German and his coierie of Dem
ocrais in the Senate, aided by the
Republicans. aimed to give some
measure Of protection To many ar
ticles. On this account i, was de
pounecd by Wilson and his Demo
cratic associates Ia the House NJ
being anti Democratic and il was
characterized by President Cicvc-
land as an act of party pcrfidy
and party dishonor" A history oi
the tariff legislation since Wash
ing,on's days would make very
large book.
I'VE rcaiiirm our belief in a pro.
,estive tariff" says the Republican
platform Of 1912 The Republican
tariff policy has been oi the great,
est benefits To the country. devei
oping our resources. diversifying our
industries. and protecting our work
men against competition with cheap
er labor abroad, thus establishing
for o,s wage earners the American
standard Of living" This expires
sion shows that there is no purpose
among the Republicans TO abandon
she proteeiionist doctrine. More
ever. on this question It will re
ceive more votes IN the southern
states this year than IL has com,
manded there hitherto. With the
growth OF the south IN industry the
protee,ionist doctrine will win

PRESIDENTS AND vEToEs.

Mr.. Bryan. in criticising Mr.. Taf,'s
vctocs. attempts leaving an impress
sion that Mr.. Taft has made frcer
use OF the veto than any OF his pred
ocessors in office. I, j. impossible
to maintain silence in the face of
such disingenuous attempt. even
though criticism OF dead man,
record must be involved in the ans.
wcr. Aftcr all. IL is history, more
than men, We are called to discuss
IN such case. And nobody knows
better than Mr. Bryan that the high
veto record among our Presidents
falls to the only one elected by the
Democratic party in more than hall
4 century.
While Mr.. Cleveland was living it
was possible tn speak with freedom

OF his vctoes They contributed
largely TO his defeat in 1893. alienat
ing thousands 81 northern Demo
Gratis who had been loyals,s during
the civil war. II would he ungen-
erous now to criticise them further.
but IL is right and proper. when the
record Of Republican President j.
challenged by a Democrat in this
pointed way. to recall the fact that
Mr., Cleveland's vetoes were as the
sands 81 the scashore for multitude
as compared with the few Taft
yetoes. And Mr. Bryan's contention
that the veto power of the Presi.
dent should never be exercised save
IN vital matters. also is at variance
with the record OF Mr.. Cleveland.
whose vetoes covered wide range
OF small matters. and were not in
frequently eouched in small terms.
This criticism Of the Taf, vetoes
rests wholly upon the vetoing OF
the Democratic tariff bills. although
Mr.. Bryan. for the purpose Of con
cealing that fact. attempts to widen
the scope Of his criticism far eonugh
to include the veto Of the Arizona
constitution. 1t is on the tariff
vetoes that the Democrats would
like to raise aud force an issue. and
they should find little difficulty in
doing so. Mr.. Taft, in fact, raised
and forced the issue himself when
the vetoes were written. Now that
II is up, it is we'll To recall that Mr..
Cleveland did worse than veto the
only tariff bill a Democratic Con
gress has sent TO President in
more than a generation. Allowing
IL To become a law without either
his signature or veto. he denounced
IL as a measure OF "pcrfidy and dis
ss.s4
honor Such it was. and. being so,
the veto power with which the con.
stitution arms the President should
have been used against il.
