DinsIey Should Read the Outlook.

Before the Lewiston Journals edi-
tor quotes too many things which Col
Roosevelt has never said against that
awfully wicked "Payne-Aldrich" tariff
law, he would do well to look over his
files of the Outlook. In the copy Of
Sept. 10, 1910, he will find that Col.
Roosevelt said, in a signed article. Il
think that the present tariff (the
Paye-Aldrich acD is better than the
last (the Dingley tariff law and con-
siderably better than the one before
the last" (the Wilson German law.
1t would not cost the editor of the
Lewiston Journal a penny to verify.
this statement, and it might be useful
to him some day, when he is COM
piling anathema against the Payne
Aldrich tariff to know that his wor-
shipped Teddy considers that act SUI

ed brother.

| tration devoted to the development
and upbuilding of American business
and homes.
| In his letter accepting the nomina-
| ton for the presidency in 1904, Theo-
| dore Roosevelt emphatically endorsed
the opinion of Abraham Lincoln that
| the abandonment of protection would
produce want and ruin among our
people" ITO uproot and destroy that
system" he declared, would be to
insure the prostration of business, the
| closing of factories the impoverish-
ment of the farmer, the ruin of the
capitalist, and the starvation of the
wage Garner
He added the weight of his high
testimony to the assertion of SO many
American statesmen and economists
| that every class of our people is
benefited by the protective tariff"
that the merchant has seen the ex-
| port trade of this country grow faster
than ever before in our history. The
| manufacturer could not keep his fac
| tory running If it were not for the
protective tariff" and that the genu-
inc, underlying principle of protee-
| ton, as it has been embodied in all

| for the last forty years, has worked
| out results so beneficial, so evenly and
widely spread, so advantageous alike
to farmers and capitalists and work.

If they show their usual practical
business sense, will insist that when
these laws are modified they shall be
| modified with the utmost care and

the modification to those who treat
protection and robbery as synonymous
terms
In his address to the Convention at
Chicago, Aug. 6, 1912. Col Roosevelt
| said: THE Democratic platform de-
elares for a tariff for revenue only, as
serting that protective tariff is I'M
| constitutional. To say that a pro-
tectiye tariff unconstitutional, as
the DemocraticmPlatfo torn insists. is
only excusable on theory of the
Constitution which would make il un-
constitutional to 4egislate In any shape
or way for the betterment of social
and industrial conditions. The aboli-
ton of the protective tariff or the SUBJ
stitution for it of a tariff for revenue
only, as proposed by the Democratic
platform, would plunge this country
into the most widespread industrial
depression we have Yet seen, and this
depression would continue for an In
definite period. There is no hope
from the standpoint of our people
from action such as the Democrats
propose"

Editorial Comment.
A Confession.
ellsworth Americanl

Prof. Henry c. Emery, of Yale, who
was chairman of the last tariff COM
mission. while on short visit at his
old home in Ellsworth last week, made
a confession.
1T is the generally accepted the
ory.' he said, that when you reduce
the tariff, you reduce the price to
consumers, and when you raise the
tariff you raise the price That seems
logical, but 1t doesn't work out. You
can reduce the tariff without helping
the consumer, but not without hurting
the producer. 1t was a pretty hard
conclusion for me TO arrive at, but |
had 10 come to it.
The matter finds its explanation in
the fact that there are two prices
the producers price and the price to
consumers. Take the matter OF cot
tons. There are certain standard
prices-say Is cents, 10 cents and 25
cents. You take off one cent from the
tariff and you ruin the manufacturer
but the consumer doesn't buy his cot
tons fer "a cents. He simply pays %
