MAJORITY PAvoRs
PROTECTION

Many times ii has been pointed out
that in 1912 the Republican and Pro
g1essive platforms declared in favor Of
the protective principle and that the
candidates Of those two parties polled
a total. Of 1907, 735 votes, while the
Democratic candidate polled only
6,290,8ls. II is notorious that the Dem
ocratie candidate received hundreds Of
thousands Of votes Of staunch Repub-
licans whose course was determined
by the feeling aroused by strife within
the party.
But there are some other figures, not
~ well known, that throw light on the
real strength Of protection sentiment.
Woodrow Wilson had a majority vote
IN only IA states, with a total Of l52
electoral votes. The combined Republi-
can and Progressive votes constituted
a majority in 81 states, whose electoral
vote aggregated 379. If, therefore, the
enactment Of a tariff law had been de-
termined by the actual vote as east, the
Republican tariff principle would have
been maintained BY an electoral vote
OF 212 to /.
This fact was pointed out by Senator
Warren, of Wyoming, during the tariff
debate in 1913. Senator Warren alsc
presented figures showing that the Il
Southern States and Arizona and Okla
homa, which gave a majority for the
Democratic party, have a total popu.
lation Of 26,543,s2s, while the "a North
err and Western States, which gave a
majority for the two protective par
ties, have a total population of e5,
097, 1863.
The people of this country were II
fevor Of protection in t912, and, after
TWO years experience with a tariff fol
revenue only, they are more strongly II
favor Of protection, Notwithstanding
the fact that the dire results of Demo
critic tariff policies were prevented by
the outbreak Of the European war.

THE RULES
OF THE SENATE

The President is said T. be undecided
about calling an extra session Of The
senate. He would like 70 "'hear from
the country" on the subject.
Tnasmuch as one-pefhaps the chief
reason for calling such a session IS
II try 70 pass a clotnre rule in order
to lam through the ship purchase bin,
il nav be said with truth that the
country has already spoken on the sub
ieet. We do not now refer to the poll
Of its membership which was taken b.
the National Chamber Of Commerce
and which was so overwhelmingly ad-
verse to the ship-purehase bill, but 10
the general verdict which the country
Las passed upon those senators-Demo-
clatie and Republican-who joined, un-
der the Senate rules as they are, to de
feat the measure. These men have for
feifed none Of the favor Of their con
st~ituents. not one has been rebuked
Tor his opposition 10 the bill, and no
enc Of them, 50 far a. we have heard,
is going back TO Washington prepared
10 knuckle down 70 the President on
this question. They know that the
country approves of their aetion-and
the President might know it, too, if he
would take the trouble TO inform him
self.
The fact is that there is no call for
the ship purchase bill; and, further,
there is no call for a %eloture rule in
the Senate. Unlimited debate, as now
provided by the Senate rules, has never
prevented the enactment Of any meas
me which the people have demanded;
II has never, in fact, prevented the en-
aetment Of any legislation which a sue
eessful party platform has called for.
il theory the Senate rules permit the
sitting Of any legislation, good or bad,
which a lusty group Of flibusterers
RAY determine TO xiii. in practice, the
mortality is always among the unfit.
Unlimited debate in the Senate mas
saved the country from some very un
wise legislation; it has never deprived
tie country Of any necessary or helpful
laws
