Judge John w. Mason, life long
friend of General Golf, introduced
the speaker and in the course OF his
remarks laid down these PROPOSE
lions:
First-Frce trade never opened q
mine in the United States.
Sccond-Free trade never built a
factory in the United States.
Third-Frec trade never furnish
ed employment to an American
workman In his own country.
Fourth-Free trade never increas-
ed the wages nor bettered the condl-
lions Of an American laborer.
The converse of these propositions
is that:
F7rst-Free trade does open mines
outside of the United States.
Second-Free trade does build
factories outside of the United States.
Third-Free trade takes employ
ment from the American laborer and
gives 10 to foreigners.
Fourtil-Free trade reduces the
wages and makes worse the condi-
lions of,the American laborer.

THE UNDERWOOD BILL UNJUsT1'
FLED.

In his address in thtrMarket Audi"
torium Tuesday night, Hon.. Julian
G. Hearnc pointed out with" force
and effect that the cDmocratic party
is acting without warrant in its at
tack upon the protected industries
Of the United States. Coming intC
power through divisions in the Re-
publican ranks, as the result OF u
campaign in which the tariff was
not even seriously discussed, tn:
Democratic leaders in congress have
assumed that the result of the eleG-
ton was a mandate to attack tho
protective tariff, to place scores OF
articles on the free list that have
hitherto enjoyed protection, and IL
reduce drasticalIy practically every
protective schedule. Where was the
Democratic orator or leader who told
the people in 1912 that they intend
ed seriously to assail the principle OF
protection? Mr.. Wilson himself
was careful TO say that nothing
would be done to affect legitimate
industries, and yet legitimate indus
tries producing over $400,000,O00
worth of American goods are to be
nut out of business according to
statements of Mr. Wilson and his as
socfates by the Underwood tariff
bill.
AS matter OF fact there was no
popular mandate to the Democratic
party to attack the policy of protec-
ton, or to bring about drastic and
sweeping reductions in the tariff.
Wilson was elected to the presidency
as a minority candidate. The sun

total Of the votes received by VIII
liam h. Taft and Theodore Roosevelt,
both running on protective tariff
platforms, was 7,607,7S5. The sum
total of the votes received by Mr..
Wilson was 6,2sO,81s. BY a major
ity Of over a million and a quarter,
the American people pronounced
against the tariff fallacies of Wilson
and for a continuance of the protec-
tive system. For Democratic lead
ers to assume that they have receiv-
ed mandate from the American
people to attack the principle of pro-
lection, to eliminate it from our leg
islation, and to destroy those indus
tries that have flourished under it,
is to ny in the face OF the facts, and
10 invite that rebuke from the peo-
pie which is already preparing. =

LIKE WALKER BILL.

Senator Golf tells us that the Dem,
ocratic leaders themselves admit
that the Underwood tariff bill is the
nearest approach to free trade since
the Walker bill in 1857, and at that
time President James Buchanan read
Il message to congress in which he
depicted the general conditions of
the country, showing that while the
crops were goot,and with no appar-
ent reason for hard times, still the
factories were closed and a general
industrial panic spread throughout
the country. Senator Golf stated that
it was an historical fact that during
those idle factOries'lycars the grass
grew over the smoke stack OF onp
factory in Pennsylvania and that a
sycamour bush actually sprouted on
the top Of the stack.
If the Underwood tariff bill is the
nearest approach to the Walker bill,
which brought about this condition,
there is indeed just cause for
alarm.

"a wonderful change has come
over our country. Through the
years past we have lived happy and
prosperous people. Capital has been
employed, labor has found employ
ment at good wages. 1t must have
been under a system of legislation
absolutely essential to the condition

suit | have alluded to would not
have been enacted in your mi"st.
"Now, by wonderful change, an
unprecedented and unexpected
event, all those things that we pre-.
pared in the past arc now improper.

"Under our particular system OF

try. DO you know that in the Unit
ed States in the election last fall g.
400, 900 votes more than Woodrow
Wilson received were cast against
him? Two and over four hundred
thousand of the voters Of this couri-
try, at the polls, us it was their
duty to do, said: We do not ap-
prove of the policy of the Democrat
ic party. We do not endorse it's plat
form. We are not in favor of the
tariff that it proposes to enact. "
"Thc Democrats" he said. "arc
close constructionists Of the consti-

can't see where there is any pToVi-

Senator Golf well said yesterday
that thee lection Of Mr.. Hearnc to
congress would not repeal the I'm

election would eleCtrify the. nation,
since all eyes are now turned to-
wards the election next Tuesday, tho

COMPETITION WITH CHEAP

Senator Goff told his audience here
yesterday that under the Underwood
tariff bill our manufacturing plants
would he forced into ruinous CON-
petition with like establishments Of
foreign countries some Of which
paid one-half,-some one-fourth and
some only one.tenth the wages
American labor gets for similar
work. Do the voters of this district
want to endorse such n policy? II

CRIME AGAINST PUBLIC.

Senator Goff yesterday denounced
the Underwood tariff bill as a "crime
against Republican form of govern
nlent." He says it is against the gov
ernment because It is against the in
tercst Of the people for whom the
is intended. The voters
of this district will have chance to
uvcnge this crime on next Tuesday.

party has not grown so decrepit that
it cannot run the jubilant Democra-
cy more than an even race on any
kind OF track and start at the drop
OF the hat. 1t has not lost its old
time vigor, albeit some Of its most
distinguished leaders and martyrs
like Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley
have gone to the good world beyond
when their good work for all hu-
manity is emblazoned upon the tab
lets Of fame in undiminished splen-
dor and unmistakable plainness.
The only thing discouragfng that
has happened to the Republican par
ty in the last quarter of a century
was the accidental election of Prest"
dent Wilson and a Democratic con
gress, he having received only about
six million votes, while over eight
million voters of this great and pros
porous county Of ours registered
their protest against the things for
which Mr.. Wilson and his admins
tration stand.
The Republican party, unlike its
Democratic friends, has always been
charitable with the Democratic min
GRITTY; yes, it has been more than
charitable, it has acted without the
customary legal statutory fees as
guardian ad litem for the misguided,
but honest, yeomanry Of the Demo
cratic persuasion, and has in this ca
pacity given them all plenty of work
to do, put tools in their hands with
which to do the work and provided
fat AMI juicy pay roll to make
their hearts lighter and their hearth
stones brighter, and has enabled
them to live amidst comfortable sur
roundings, to educate their children,
to own their own homes, where the
luxuries of life are not unknown
This has all been accomplished Dy
the fundamental principle Ct the
Republican party, protection to the
American laboring man and tC
American industries.
Do not the voters Of this district
believe that any party with the po'
littcal and economic wisdom thai
has been shown by the Republican
rarty in the upbuilding of the great
est industrial empire upon the globe
has been sufficiently active in mind
and body to, grasp the progressive
spirit that its policies have made
possible? Do they not realize that
the Democratic party has assumed
proprietary ownership of a situation
they did not create, do not they
understand that they cannot better
these conditions even though all the
good things that their hopeful proph'
cts have promised are fulfilled?
They have not promised 10 build
more factories; they have not prom
Used to give more men work; they
have not promised TO pay men ana
women better wages. What have
they promised to do? They have
promised to reduce the tariff, which
they have done, and they have prom
ised thereby to reduce the high cost
of living, which they have not done
and which they never can do by en-
perimcnting with the tariff. But In
the attempt to accomplish this laud-
able purpose they have done what
history shows has rotted down fac
tories, has thrown labor out Of EN-
ployment and has reduced the waG'
es of those who werce nablcd to get
work at all.
1t is the reactionary Democracy
we want the people Of the First con-
gressional district to understand
who have not kept pace with prog
ress and not the Republican party
as charged by our unblushing crit
les.

NOT INFANT INDUSTRIES.

Senator Goff denied the newspaper
reports that he was making a plea
for infant industries: He says that
under a protective tariff they are
no longer infants, but that they are
now modern industrial giants, but
he does say that that is no reason
why these great industries should
be sacrificed and the millions invest

FOREIGN FACTORIES BUILDING
ADDITIONS.

Senator Golf has just returned
from a trip abroad and he tells us
that foreign manufacturers are now
planning to build additions to their
factories to furnish goods to the pco-
pie Of the United States. This means
that production will be cut short in
this country and the laboring man
will feel the effects of such system.

D, S, WILL RECOGNIZE
CHINESE REPUBLIC
Result Of Reputation by VIII
son Of Loan Project.

Washington, March 20.-Recognition
Of the Chinese republic at an early
date will he the practical result OF
the reputation by President Wilson
of the power loan project.
The withdrawal of the United States
from participation in the loan nego-
tiations is regarded by those respon-
sible for the overthrow of the Knox
policy as removing the chief obstacle
which has prevented the recognition
sof China by the United States.
IL While the United States has not
been actually prohibited from taking
this action in favor of the Chinese re.
public at any time within the last
eighteen months, to have done SO
would have been in violation of the
spirit if not the letter of the agree
ment among the powers.
There Is no question about the
friendly disposition of the American
lpeople toward the new government in
China, and President Wilson in his
SAt1ment of reputation has reflected
this popular sympathy with the Chi.
nese. He also is convinced that tradi
tional principles of the United States
and it's long standing intimate rela.
tions with China require this govern
ment to manifest it's kindly feelings
by the practical act of recognition OF
the new republic.
