CLARK FOR HOME PRODUCTS.

II Thomas B. Reed we're living wha.
aJolid satisfaction that great man Woulo
Ederfve from this remark of disting-
4 ,Iished democratic successor. Speaker
Champ Clark:
The great. thing we, arc going 10
ito learn from the war, and we are
learning right now, is that America
must manufacture at home the things
she needs. Then we are done with
.baEics and business depressions due to
war.
This is thought that, without re-
gard to party politics, is now consp1c-
llously Selling the minds of men
Throughout the United States. 1t is re-
sponsible for the widespreading made
movement and it probably
)helped the protectionist party in the
recent campaign, when the republicans
proved so much stronger on national
issues and electing congressman than
Ton local issues and state governments.
ITO manufacture at home the things we
|heed at home was the persistent econ
omic preaching of Reed, Dingley and
Mckinley in their time and, indeed. to
Ego back further, to the years before the
tariff had become a party issue, OF
Washington, Madison and Jefferson. II
EChamp Clark is called now to account
flor treason to the later doctrine of his
Eparty, he can plead that he is merely
|paraphrasing the Sage of Monticello,
ewho in the full ripeness of his years
and wisdom, just after the second war
with England, said:
| We must now place the manufacture
er by the side of the agriculturist. :.
iExperience has taught me that manu-
fractures are now as necessary to our
Independence as to our comfort; and
kif those who quote me as of different
Eopinion will keep pace with me in pur-
E&hasing nothing foreign, where an
|aquivalent of domestic fabric can be
Eobtained without regard to any differ
Eence of price, it will not be our fault
Eif we do not have a supply at home
[equal to our demand, and wrest that
weapon of distress from the hand that
Fhas so long wantonly violated it.
\ An agreement on moderate, sound
land stable economic legislation that
| will enable America to manufacture
at home the thing she needs is con-
Illumination most devoutly to be wished,
Natter the capricious and destructive
|ftariff changes of the last few years.
EWhy, in the light of this latest and
Cgreatest war, cannot there be unison
! how between republican chieftains and
Ehe democratic speaker of the house
fof representatives? A tariff law prun-
\ ed of extravaganza and yet high
((enough to prevent the transfer of any
part of our manufacturing to Europe,

American people, to take the tariff out

men, merely by complete abstinence
from alcoholic liquors during that per-
iod. Other nations may not be as hard
drinkers as are the Russians, but that
abstinence would greatly aid them in
recuperating from the loss being caus-
ed by the present war, goes without
saying. BY such a comparison, it is
easier to see just how great an enemy
to mankind and to civilization, alco-
holic drinks are.
