Favors Protective Tariff
for Workers and Consumers
The former President has this 20 say
about the tariff:

about the tariff:
| believe IN a protective tariff but I
believe In IL as principle. approached
from the standpoint OF tho interests OF
the whole people. and not az bundle OF
preferences 10 be given 80 favored in
dividuals. Ia my opinion, the American
people favor the principle OF a protective
tariff. but thcy desire such a tariff 10 be
established primarily IN the interests OF
the wage worker and the consumer. The
chief opposition 10 our tariff az the pres
cnt moment comes from the general con-
viction that certain interests have been
improperly favored by protection. /
agree with this view.
The commercial and Industrial expe-
!ience OF this country has demonstrated
the wisdom OF the protective policy. but
81 has also demonstrated that IN the ap-
plication az that policy certain clearly
not merely the tariff that should be re-
vised. but the method OF tariff making
ana OF tariff administration.
Wherever nowadays an industry Is to
be protected IL should be on the theory
that such protection will serve To keep up
wages and the standard OF living OF the
wage worker In that Industry, with fun
regard for the interest OF the consumer
To accomplish this the tarin 20 be levied
should as nearly az Is scientifically pos
sible approximate the differental between
the cost OF production AT home and
abroad. This diferoptjal ie chiefly, II not
wholly. In labor cost NO duty should
be permitted 90 stand as regards any in
dustTy unless the workers receive their
full share OF the benefits OF that duty. In
other words. there ~ no warrant TOT PRO
lection unless a legitimate share or the
benefits gets into the pay envelope or ths
wage worker.
