SUPPORT PRESIDENT
BUT NOT HIS TARIFF
UNDER PRESENT TARIFF LAW
THE END OF WAR WILL MAKE
CONDITIONS WORSE.


Evening Post makes the following
timely contribution:
Well 1t is that We are all supporting
President Wilson's policies in dealing
with the European belligerents. Still
is it not fitting that press with the
intelligent clientele of the Evening
Post should be warning its readers
not to be carried away by the glamour
of patriotism-not to allow Presidens
Wilson's meritorious international poll
| icies to push into the background his
internal policies, which have bee i.
nothing but kowtowing to labor I'M
ions? | dislike ex- President Roose-
welt, and | admire President wills n;
hut / hold that President Wilson is
nally than Roosevelt, because Wilson's
political coups in favor of labor bring
l4he strife of a bloody var between
capital and labor very much nearer
than does Roosevelt's ungentlemanly
conduct, also for political reasons.
In another year we will be choosing
a president, Popular glamour lauds Mr..
Wilson at the moment, because the
populace thinks his note to Germany
was a peach" 1t most certainly was.
But should such excellent utterances
push aside the fact that, If our present
tariff Is in vogue when this cursed sar
is over, all profits this country has
managed to acquire will be paid for Il
hundred fold in suffering to the man In
the street and bankruptcy of mer-
Ichants and manufacturers?
Will Work For Bond.
You ask why. we'll for one thing.
when the men abroad have laid down
their arms and become rational once
more, they will be SO hard up to earn
a living they'll work for trife just to
Iget bread. Things which are manufac-
tured in the United States of America
Twill be made so cheaply in Europe
our manufacturers will be bankrupted
because of being undersold by for
eign product which hasn't been made
t union labor prices. The public will
stand commercial patriotism for q
time but human nature never changes
and eventually the articles we buy VIII
be got where we can get them cheaper
A high tariff is our only safeguard
from manufacturing bankruptcy wher
this war Is over, and surely Presiden
Wilson hasn't shown any inclination t.
, give it to us. We all know that the IN
, ternal war nevenue which has beer
put in operation since the war brok
out is nothing but blind to cover tn
fact that the treasury went into hol
through the workings of Mr.. Wilson
tariff propaganda. If before the wa
the danger of manufacturing bank
o.. ruptcy was imminent how many time
greater it will be after the war whe
foreign labor is cheaper even than be
fore the war.
Lest We Forget.
e I call this to your attention, not I
e deride Mr., Wilson at a time VIII nj h
e needs our support in an internationf
g crisis, but just to prevent people froT
forgetting. Any man who'll surrende
to the labor unions so f1agrantly as M
Wilson has at all points in his caree
is a menace in the presidents cha
when the readjustment comes, aftt
German militarism has had the spo1
knocked out of it.

need great reserve army for interni
protection, for if the tariff wall Is NJ

tai and labor, which win be mo

Support President Wills IN
