OF giving II to her 10 save. And you

WILSON THE ENEMY OF LABOR.

You know what the usual standard
of the employee is in our day. 1t is to
give as little as he may for his wages.
Labor is standardized by the trades
union, and this is the standard to which
it is made to conform. No one is suf-
fered to do more than the average work
man can do In some trades and handi-
crafts no one is suffered to do more
than the least skillful of his fellows can
do within the hours allotted to a days
labor and no one may work out of hours
at all or volunteer anything beyond the
minimum. need not point out how
how economically disastrous such re-
gulation of labor is. 1t is so unprofta-
bic to the employer that in some trades
it will presently not be worth his while
to attempt anything at all. He had
better stop altogether than operate at
an inevitable and invariable loss. The
labor of America is rapidly becoming
Improbable under its present regula-
ton by those who have determined to
reduce it to minimum. Our economic
supremacy may be lost because the
country grows more and more full of
improbable servants" From bac-
calaureate sermon at Princeton Uni
versity, June Is, 1909.

Its FALSITY IS A MATTER OF
HISTORY"

The Democratic party has long and
unbroken record of doing foolish things
in critical emergencies. 1t was true to
its record when at Baltimore it per-
mitted William Jennings Bryan to write
into the platform dogmatic assertion
that under the Constitution the Federal
Government is forbidden to collect tariff
duties for any purpose whatever except
for revenue. To have forced this utter
ly false and discredited doctrine upon
his party was a great victory for Bryan,
to be sure, but like other Organisms of
the past, it is certain to embarrass the
party and iniure it in the eyes of think
ing people. The New York American,
for example, unspairingly condemns
this needless, damaging surrender to
Bryan, as follows:
1T is regrettable that the Baltimore
convention committed itself to the alb
stract theory that the Federal govern
ment under the Constitution has no
right or power to. impose or collect
tariff duties except for the purpose of
revenue.
"This notion that the protective prin-
ciple is unconstitutional is theory of
closet philosophers. Its falsity is a
matter of history The Democratic
party will never attempt to put it into
practice. 1t is, therefore, not danger
GUS to the country. But it stains an
honest platform with a touch of in
sincerity"
If there is to be no attempt to put the
notion into practice, why does the plat
form assert it as a fundamental truth?
AS well say that the Free-1rade party
will not attempt to put in practice the
pledge to reduce duties down to the
basis of "a tariff for revenue only. "
The two propositions belong together.
They cannot be separated. Tariff for
revenue, and for nothing else, means
tariff in which there is no protection.
That is exactly the Democratic position.
A vote for the Free-Trade ticket and
platform is a vote for more imports,
less employment, and low wages.
