paid your city visit of inspec-

Washington Correspo pondence
BY G. H. TAvENNER.

WASHINGTON, October 3.-Why
do protectionists never point to
Italy as an illustration of how ex-
cessive tariff rates "protect" the
common people?
Italy is one of the most highly
protected countries of Europe. 1t
is famous as country ''howing
with milk and honey"
Yet they never talk about Italy,
do the the upward revisionists.
While in Italy three years ago,
the writer learned at first hand
some of the reasons why our pro-
tectionists never say, "Look at
Italy"
Italy puts heavy duties on both
agricultural and manufactured i'm,
ports. She pays her people ex-
ceedingly low wages. She charges
them very hlgh prices for tne
necessities of life. They emigrate
in large numbers.
To understand the situation
clearly we must go back to 1887
About that time a violent revolu-
ton in the system of Italian GUS
toms was brought about. A pow
erful political group Of textile
manufacturers joined forces fol
their own ends with power
full political group Of large land
owners. Tariffs were heavily in
creased. But not on everything
That powerful band Of textile
manufacturers took good care tina
the lesser manufacturers, who
made articles needed in the tex.
tile factories, were not enabled tc
put up their prices.
i Hand in hand with the power.
full manufacturers the big land

the tariff pie." In order that they |
should be sufficiently compensated
for being in politics, the landown-
era, had a heavy tax placed on
wheat. In Italy it is only the big Il
landowners who $row wheat.
Three out of every fonr landown-
ers in Italy ar e possessors of small
properties, cultivatiag fruit for
wine. They have to- buy a con-
siderable part of tho wheat they
eat. So it happened, That where
one large wheat farmer got bigger
profits, three small auit farmers
got hit. That is the way protec-
ton invariably works out What
is one mans protection is an
other mans poison.
Hark, however, this further re-
suit of the Italian tax on wheat:
Millions of Italians never eat
wheat bread, except in cases of
illness or on special festivals.
They make a bread maize. In
this and in other respects the
standard of living of the Italian
people is very low, because prices
are too high.
An enormous fiscal and protec-
tive tax was also put upon sugar.
The prices rose 30 high that Italian
farmers watched their "oranges,
lemons, peaches, and other pro-
ducts of a warm and generous sun
rot on their trees in order that the
33 manufacturers Of the sugar
syndicate might levy upon con-
sumers a yearly tribute"
Far and away the chief of the
Italian Industries have been seri-
ously hampered by protection.
And Italy is the home of the silk
worm.
One of the chief troubles of Italy
is that the general rise in prices
has SO greatly lessoned the pur-
chasing power of the wages of the
people that the great mass of the
small dealers and the workingmen
and women suffer bitterly.
1t is calculated that while ten
lose by protection, only one stands
any chance of gaining. He does
not always gain, forsthe country
does not progress. The interests
of Italy are sacrificed to the one
in ten.
1t other words, excessive tariffs
increased the cost of living to the
Italian people Just as the Payne
Aldrich law is increasing the cost
of living in the United States.
Is it any wonder that the pro-
tectionists never ask us to 'look
at Italy?"
BOTH ARE RIGHT.
Theodore Roosevelt, candidate
for a third term as president, said
recently: "Taft now represents
1.-THE bosses, and the Republican
party is composed of them and
the vested interests of the coun-
try"
And President Taft said
"Roosevelt is not a Republican.
but represents a one-man party
whose chief advisers are the har-
vesters and steel trust magnates." "
| Senator LaFolIette of Wisconsin,
also Republican, says both Taft
and Roosevelt are telling the truth
about each other. And LaFol-
lette has had enough experience
with both Messrs. Taft and Roose
veit to know what he is talking
about.
The answer is: Win with Will

The sun was up and lightly burd'ning

Lay on my still half-conscious brain
Which yet its hold on sensuous ease
would keep,
Enwrapt in dream-and doze again.
Twas not to be! A rattle at my door
Impelled from some impatient hand
Enclosed my eyes, soft languor fled

The noise, and gone was Sunderland!
Disturbed again the sound, and open

The intervening portal wide;
Then rushing in, with gleeful, loud ado,
The grandson stood my bed beside.
"Grand-pa, your birthday" his childish
greeting was;
"D'ye know--I do--you're seven today?
An pa he sends you this by me,

She says she's goin' to give to you,
But you must wait an shut your eyes,
Just like we children, playin', do.

And all the bestest things you ever saw

And grown unsteady is the hand thai

These lines in tribute to the past:
For though the years will never BIT
denied
Their stern, exacting toll on life,
Yet how are they with blessings close
allied,
Nor always given to hate and strife!
Would I turn back and have it sever
again
At touch OF old-time fairy's wand?
Begin again to forge life's complex chain
To strive anew with unframed hand?
In needless lightsomeness, uncertain fat
My youth once met and safely passed
But who can tell the ills that might awai
A proffered term Of life recast?
One might succumb to mumps OF whoop

In measles find untoward end,
While scarlet fever takes its thousand

But why the deadly list extend?
If grown to mans estate, what evils still
Beset his blind, unguided course,
That may his cup to overhowing fill
With bitter sin and dark remorsea
Through this I've passed; not who'll.

For scars there are that show full wei
The hurt of wrong that, self may no
