DILLINGHAM; IN DEFENSE
OF PROTECTIVE TARIFF
Vermont Senator Cites Un-
precedented Prosperity Un-
der the Ding|ey Law.

= detailed defense of the protective
tariH policy of the republican party was
| hiade IN the Senate today by Senator
| Dillingham; of Vermont
Inc Judgment of the American peo-
pie' recognizing the soundness of the
| proposition that there should be home
market for home productions throughout
the length and breadth of our land" said
senator Dillingham;, demanded legsla-
| tion that would make the nation inde-
pendent industrially as well as politically:
that would extend manufa curing indus
ny throughout the nation: that would
encourage the exchange of commodities
vi all classes. To this end the republican
party 1naugurated the great system OF
protective tariff legislation, which after
more than half century has demon
strated the correctness of its principle as
applied to American conditions.
1T was fully realized that the develop
ment of manufacturing industries in
america, not only to provide a market
Tor our vast agricultural products. but
also to protect our American people
against exorbitant charges on foreign
made goods, and to protect the American
workingmen from unjust competition
from low paid labor in Europe"
National Wealth Increased.
Senator Dillingham; showed that under
this protective system since 1880 the
production of American mills had in
creased from $2.OOO,OOO.OOO year to $oo,-
600 10000 in 1910 He said that the
value of farm products has In
creased since 1870 from $1,95S, 100000 to
IS, Alt 100000 an increase of $50 per cent.
The national wealth has increased from
$50 OOO, ,OOO. 600 to more than 10000, ,O0O,OOo
an increase also of $50 per cent. Not only
are we supplying home demand with
every conceivable product, but the ratio
of our sales abroad has outstripped our
| purchases from other nations, said Sem
ator Dillingham;.
| 1.-The most serious disaster which has
ever come to American industries came
| during the last administration of Presi-
| dent Cleveland. when the Wilson-Gorman
| tariff act became law. said Senator
| Dillingham; Immediately following a
return of the republican party to power
and under the provisions of the Dingley
| tariff the country entered upon period
of prosperity unequaled ip the history OF
| this or any other nation.
| Senator Dillingham; declared that the
pending tariff bill disseminated against
the New England division Of states in
favor of the southern states. particular
ly with relation to their textile indus
| tries
In conclusion Senator Dillingham; de-
clared that he was more than ever cdp-
vinced that tariff legislation ought not
| to be undertaken except upon informa-
! ton which can only be derived through
| the work of non-partisan tariff commits
| sion composed of men technically equip
ped for the work.

Under the laws Of the twelve Ia

1t was expressly forbidden to bury
gold ornaments with the dead, spe-
cial exception was made for gold with
which teeth may be held together.
Martial, one Of the satiric poets OF
Rome, once referred to the teeth of
one woman as dark and another as
white and explained the difference
with the statement that one of them
bought her teeth. while the other had
her own. The transportation of teeth
from the mouths of slaves into those
of their mistresses is said to have
been a common practice in the early
days of the Roman Empire.

little less, prisoner is sent to the
