OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
WILSON WOULD REPEAL ALL
PROTECTIVE TARIFF LAWS.

The following is taken from
an address delivered by Profess
sor Woodrow Wilson before the
tariff board in 1882, showing his
view then on the question of the
tariff and the distinct announce
ment of his position as a free
trader, opposed to all tariffs ex-
cept merely for the purpose of
raising revenue:
"But the danger Of imposing
protective duties is that when
; the policy is once embarked
upon it cannot be easily receded
; from. Protection is nothing
more than a bounty, and when
we offer bounties to manufac-
turers they will enter into in
; dustries and build up interests
and when at a later day we seek
to overthrow this protective tar
iff we must hurt somebody, and
of course there is objection
They will say: Thousands of
men will be thrown out of en-
ployment and hundreds of peo-
pie will lose their capital This
seems very plausible; but |
maintain that manufacturers are
made better manufacturers
whenever they are thrown upon
their own resources and left to
the natural competition OF
trade"
Protection also hinders COM
merce immensely The English
people do not send as many
goods to this country as they
would if the duties were not so
much and in that way there is
a restriction of commerce and
we are building up manufac-
tories here at the expense OF
commerce. We are holding
ourselves aloof from foreign
countries in effect and saying,
We are sufficient to ourselves;
we wish to trade, not with Eng
land, but with each other |
maintain that it is not only a
pernicious system, but corrupt
system.
"Bv Commissioner Garland:
20. Are you advocating the
repeal of all tariff laws'
"a. OF all protective tariff
laws; of establishing a tariff for
revenue merely. 1t seems to
me very absurd to maintain that
we shall have free trade between
different portions of this coun-
try and at the same time shut
ourselves out from free COM
munication with other produc-
ing countries of the world. If
it is necessary to impose restric-
tive duties on goods brought
from abroad it would seem to
me as a matter of logic, neces-
sary to impose similar restric-
tons on goods taken from one
state Of this Union to another.
That follows as a necessary con-
sequence: there is no escape
from it. y

ton the other day that Tammany is
TO be safe from his assaults; but non
of it is satisfying.
DR.. Wilson, in the preconvention
days, was represented to the country
as a scholarly gentleman, too lofty OF
mind to practice the wiles of the pro-
fessional politician, too earnest in the
cause of good government to be aught
! but frank and fearless in his express
sion, too unselhsh to put private am
bition above the public veal, too
idealistic in character to truckle to
the forces of evil in the nation.
But how singularly he has masked
all of these qualities since William
! Jennings Bryan forced his nomina-
ton at Baltimore.
There is no difference, save in the
purity of the English, between his
speeches and the speeches of the pro-
fessional office seeker of the worst
period in American politics. He steps
pussy footed over all the large ques-
tions of the day, He exhibits a sus-
piciously broad tolerance for all ele-
ments in the body polite, even the
elements which, to nominate him,
Bryan found it expedient to denounce
by name in the convention There is
none of the rugged frankness Of ut
terance that characterized his writ
ings in the days before he was inocu-
lated with the virus of political am
bition. He is proving over apt as an
advanced student of practical politics.
1t is not pleasant nor a heartening
exhibition he makes of himself. The
right minded citizen can feel nothing
but sadness in contemplating a man
of education and culture so intent
upon partisan and personal victory
that he sacrifices those ideals of truth
and honesty for which he has always
stood to fawn upon and honeyfugle
the voters.
DR.. Wilson as a candidate is not in
character with the Dr. Wilson that
was pictured to us prior TO the Balti-
more convention. This awakened
nation, impatient of partisan make be-
lieve," detects the difference.

THE MoDrss CHAP CONSCIENCE

There are too many men in promi-
nent places who carry cheap and cas-
lily adjustable conscience, in politics,
in business and in social matters. Much
of the unrest Of the times is due to the
deep, inner protest Of humanity against
this cheap conscience. For instance,
an investigation into the underworld
conditions Of southern city revealed
that one of the city's leading church
men owned half Of the houses in the
red light district" says Current Lit
erature To the honor of his church,
be it said, be was expelled. Many in
stances of this kind and of kindred ma
ture have been brought to light.
II ia a comfort 70 know that there
are so many good men and women who
are keeping the fountains Of our social
and business life sweet and clean. But
it shows clearly that the main depend
enee Of human society against wide
spread debsuchment end destruction is
the strict sense Of right and wrong in
the individual. All the protection We
have, practically, in doing business
with men is the sense of business honor
they and we possess. Governor Hoard.

Now the fellows who have chased
themselves out of breath running down
the schemes precious to the hearts Of
the dear people and incidentally their
own interests will have time to catch
their second wind before election rolls
round. Wonderful it is how concerned
these patriots are for the common veal.
In fact, few of them have ever had the
time to demonstrate any ability to dc
other than proclaim their own wisdom,
virtue and honesty.
