"Others of our business men,
like Carnegie, are endowing librar-
les for the dissemination of univers-
al knowledge and maintaining OBJ
servatOries and other scientific
establishments for the extension of
scientific research and the develop
ment of scientific pursuits.
"Other again, like Morgan, are
are assembling in America the art
and library treasures of the world
for the development of our tastes
and perceptions, and for the higher
culture of our people in the refine
ments and intellectual enjoyments
of life.
"Our business men have been
able to do all this without Mr..
Wilson's guidance, and in spite of
his poor opinion of them it is just
possible that under the guidance Of
college professors these ignorant
and provincial business men Of
ours might not have accomplished
as much for themselves and their
country as they did when left to
their own resources.
"Mr. Wilson's dogmatic and
didactic declarations have all the
positiveness of the Iedagogue who
has theories on everything and eX-
perience in nothing. His is the
customary attitude of the collage
professor who knows everything
having read it in books, where it
was written down by other college
professors with equally infallible
knowledge based on equally uni
versal ineXperience.
"It is an interesting thing to see
a college professor lecturing practi-
cal business men on the practical
problems of business from the musty
rooms of one of the colleges which
the practical success of these busi-
ness men had enabled them to
endow.
s'I do not wonder that English
men are interested in this phase OF
American politics, but | think that
the sound sense of American citi-
zens will prevent any foreign
country being unduly benefited at
our expense by the hasty applica.
ton of the undigested theories OF
some of our well-meaning, but in
experienced, statesmen"
The above extracts from Mr..
Hearst's statement to the news.
paper, following the statement OF
this country's determination. to
manage the canal that we built,
expresses well the opinions of the
majority of the citizens of this
country. Candidates for office who
cannot make themselves agree with
this analysis of the situation will
find it difficult to make voters
agree with them.
This country proposes to protect
the United States, it's workers and
it's manufacturers-and that with
out permitting the construction OF
tariffs for the benefit and protection
of trusts.
Those that would kill the tariff
absolutely, in order, as they think,
to check the trusts, simply play the
part of the tame bear that smashed
his masters head with rock in
order to kill the fly on his masters
