THE FALLAcY OF PROTECTION.

Whenever an American trust wants
the tariff rate raised, it bases its
plea on the argument that Amer
lean manufacturers cannot compete
with the cheap labor of Europe"
In eleven months of last year the
experts of iron and steel products,
together with agricultural Implements
ana freight and passenger cars,
amounted to nearly $27O,OOO, ,OOO-an
increase of about s54 1000 900 over the
corresponding period Of 1910.
These materials are exported from
this country to all parts of the world,
in the face of the competition of
England. Belgium, Germany and
France. The steel trusts foreign, com
petitors had their advantage of that
cheap labor" which the trusts and
their Republican friends fear SO great
ly Whenever proposal is made to
lower the tariff, yet the, trusts trade
in foreign markets is constantly on
the increase. How much longer will
the people allow themselves to be
fooled by trust "logic?"

One CT the acts of the last legis-

appropriation bill to defray the un-

The fact that Congress thought so
well OF the speech delivered by Gov
ernor Shafroth at Kansas City a
short time ago, that it unanimously
ordered it printed in the Congress
sional Record and provided for the
free distribution of several thousand
copies, he's set the Republican press
on edge and these papers have been
throwing gobs of ink and shedding
crocodile tears of protest over the
event. In the first place, Governor
Shafroth in accordance with the Gus
tom of the Public PrinteN to charge
so much per thousand for the print
ing and franking of such matter, paid
the government the sum of SIS. 80
This is not, all-it was not a politi-
cal speech and the subject matter
embraced the conservation question
which affects all Of the western
states, and it was in these states
and not in Colorado, where the ma
jority of these pamphlets were CIR
culateu.Ih is but an ordinary event
and is taken advantage of very fire.
quently for instance, during the FRO
ceedings of Congress from June 1S,
1910 uEtil June %. Of the same
month, a period of but twelve days,
there were twenty-three speaches
editorials and articles inserted in the
Congressional Record, embracing
numerous subjects Of national import.
Porto Rico, high cost of living. One
from President Gomrers, of the Nat
ional Federation of Labor, on wages
and cost of living. and numerous 9TH

was splendid address and brought
to the attention of the world in a
mastery way, the immense resources
