WARNING TO LATIN AMERICA.

The Taft note Of warning that indi-
Gates the end Of the ~saturnalia of ter
rorism and misrule which puts a
stain on the civilization Of the three
Americas naturally and reasonably
suppleme nts McKinley's humane de-
cree that the disorders in Cuba must
cease" Reinforced by the agree
ments entered into at Washington in
1907. we enter upon the policy Of
pacifcation and regulation from a
sense Of duty imposed upon us and
the added sense of responsibility to
humanity. This may be said to be
the official position Of the United
States. apart from the rising wave
Of public sentiment favorable to set
ting things to rights and giving them
an impetus in the direction Of true
progress.
Latin Americans Of the turbulent
sort are sure to resent the determina-
ton of President Taft to rid Central
America and the West Indies Of their
beau ideals of chivalry and patriotism,
but who, in our estimation, are pro-
fessional promoters of revolution and
brigandage. We have long given ear
to pro%testations and promises issuing
from the legations, only to have our
patience and tolerance rewarded by
fresh demonstrations Of a settled pur-
pose on the part of those in power to
prey upon the better classes Of their
W c%ountrymen. coupled with a saw

among them. and a studied attitude

ENGLAND UP AGAINST IT.

With ..he United States getting
ready to decide the question whether
We shall continue the protective tariff
or discard 1t for something akin ia
free trade. it is interesting. to note
that manufacturers Of automobiles in
England are nov complaining be-
cause. under the free trade policy of
their country. American manufacture
ers are driving them out Of their "
market.
1t is reported in the English news
papers that the manufacturers who
recently gathered in London to dis
cuss the critical situation were i'm
mensely cheered" by a letter from the
Duke of Westminster who said the
invasion Of cheap American cars
threatens to deprive thousands Of
English workers Of employment, and
that the way out was to support a
campaign throughout the country to
advance the OF British imperial
preference and the imposition of a
protective tariff. He added that the
Imperial Protective league is raising
a fund Of 50, 500. 900 to be used in the
propaganda.
In view of the fact that j. Kerr Har-
die. n of the founders Of the British
labor party and n of the best in
formed men in England. recently ad-
mitted in a speech in Chicago that
thirty-three per cent Of the working
men in England were facing starva-
ton, the automobile men clearly cam
not be accused Of exaggerating the Sc
robustness of the situation in Great
Britain.
If the tariff shoe were on the other
foot. this country being free trade and
England being protective. 1t would
be an easy matter for the British au-
tomobile manufacturers to undersell
us in our wv market in addition to
controlling heir own. The result
would be that the standard Of wages
to workingmen would nave to be re-
duced to the level now reached in
England. and the vast army OF unem-
ployed. facing starvation. would be
here instead Of there.
One Of the arguments most fire.
quently made by the free traders Is
that the cost of living would be re-
duced II their policy were adopted.
Unfortunately. this argument is not
sustained by the facts in England,
where the cost of living is on a par
with that in the United States. With
some few exceptions. 1t is possible to
buy cheaper in England than here.
but the thirty-three per Ger Of the
working people facing starvation will
testify that 1t is no satisfaction to
them to ave the price of food re-
duced when they are earning no
wages with which to buy food at any
price.
