MUST Be PROTECTED
This Country Can Manufacture
Its Own Dyestufts.
Necessary, However, That Capital Be
Assured Consideration in the Mat.
ter Of Competition With
Germany.

Shall we manufacture dyestuffs in
quantities to, meet our own necessi.
ties? The industry can be established
in this country, and should be. We
have the raw materials, and can COM
mand the skilled labor. We have suf-
fered in that line, as in others. as the
result of the war. We have been de-
pendent on Germany for our dyes:
and our business relations with that
country have been dislocated for 13
months. Hence the interest now at
taching TO that particular subject.
The leading consideration in the
premises is protection, Shall protec.
tion be Afforded? The German indus,
try has not been, and will not be. de.
stroyed by the war. Upon the return
of peace. German manufacturers will
return to full speed again. and have
greatly the advantage in our markets
unless our markets are protected for
the home industry.
Secretary Redfield favors the pro-
lection. and puts the case in this way:
Capital hesitates under existing
conditions to embark heavily in an un.
dertaking where there is a strong
probability, II not certainty. that
upon the return of normal conditions
an incipient. half-deveioped American
Industry would be exposed to pro-
longed and relentless underselling by
foreign competitors possessing al.
most boundless resources. financial
and technical"
A similar situation In general ex
listed when we launched our govern.
mental scheme. and similar argu.
ment was made by the fathers in sup
port of the general policy of pro.
lection. AT that time we were a
small nation OF farmers and mer.
chants. almost wholly dependent on
the outside world for manufactured
products. Why not become a self
supporting nation? Why not do our
own manufacturing? Protection as a
policy was adopted. and In no great
while we became in many things in.
dependent OF the outside world and
today we hold a place among the
leading manufacturing nations.
Protection has done wonders for
America. The policy. OF course. needs
adjustment from time to time. as
President Mckinley. the foremost
protectionist OF his day, pointed out
at Buffalo in what proved to be his
last public utterance. But adjust.
ments can be made without impair
ing the strength of the policy. or in.
juring any well established and
prosperous American manufacturing

minimum price of IS an acre. For an
other quarter of land appraised at the
same value. he paid s12 an acre.
Bidding brought even higher prices
for lower appraised land in Huerfano
county. For four sections of land that
were all appraised at SO an acre. e. l..
Trownstine paid respectively sl625,
Sl0.25, $lO.25 and Sc an acre.
In Weld county one quarter OF land
advertised at minimum of $40 an
acre brought $3.50, while another
brought s1425 an acre.
There were 3.204 acres sold alto
gether. The special sale was held in
order to allow farmers who were
seeking the land an opportunity to
buy it in time to prepare the ground

Refuses State Tax Demand.

Denver.-The city commissioners,
acting as a county board OF equaliza-
ton. has refused TO adopt the recon.
mendations made by the Colorado
State Tax Commission. in which the
county board was ordered to raise the
assessed valuation OF Denver county
s55, 100000. A resolution containing
nine specific reasons why the re
fusal was made was adopted by the
county board and ordered sent to the
tax commission. The commission di-
reoted that valuations be raised ON
certain classes OF property and the
county board replied that this could
not be done because the property Is
already assessed as Its full cash val
ua,ion: that 10 follow the recommen'
dntions OF the state commission
would necessitate n new assessment.
which the local board is without pow
er TO make: that an average raise
cannot be made because OF the diver
sity OF value. and that the recommen'
lntions would necessitate violation OF
