STATES IN NED
OF A PROTECTIVE Tariff


Protection for American industries,
and especially for those OF the west
trn states aud the manufacturing ms
triets of the eastern and middle west
states is advocated by W. Z. crow
-Bepublican states chairman of Pennsyl-
vania. who was at the Hotel Utah yes
terdav en- route to the east, says the
Ieraid-R Republican. Mr.. Crow made the
trfp west by automobile. He asserts
he gave much study 10 the needs OF
sbe country west of the Mississippi and
has arrived at the conclusion that the
business of the entire country is going
ahead under forced draught' and an
artificial stimulus caused by war orders
and by a failure on the part OF Euro
pean countries to export goods to this
country on account of the war. Mr..
Crow is interested in wool and sugar
and said that the United States has
lost more than S5,00O,OO0 in revenue
silce the tariff was taken from wool
and decreased on sugar.
The Pennsylvania state chairman
was a Roosevelt man in the Republican
national convention of 1912, but did
tpt leave the convention when Roose-
Welt was defeated for the nomination.
tie asserted that the Keystone state
will give a Republican majority of
100000 at the next presidential cleo
ton.
'sIn this part of the west the people
want to begin to get ready for that
which is to follow in this country after
the European war; said Mr.. Grow.
Democrats point to the high prices
which sugar is bringing today under
the Underwood tariff. Sugar is high, t
j. true, but they do not stop TO think
tfat the exports of sugar from France.
Germany and Russia have ceased and
that the United States and Cuba are
now exporting sugar. With that opti-
mism which is characteristic of the
West the sugar companies are going
ahead and charging their acreage aad
building new factories. This is due 20
a feeling that a competitor will break
the field and take away part of
the trade.
GAS soon as the European war IS
the three great sugar nations
viii begin exporting sugar to this
country, with the result that prices
viii be battered down and the United
and Cuban growers will suffer.
This country should be able to pro-
luce all the sugar it needs and it can
+ Congress win only realize the harm
has been done the industry by
he lowering of the tariff. The sugar fac
DRY owners hope that the administra-
lon viii repeal that section of the I'm
lerwood tariff which places sugar upon
lie free list on Nav / next. If it is not
and the European war stops,
wouldn't give ten cents on the dollar
or your western sugar factories.
"Wool has been on the free list for
bout two years, but the prices have
zen high. The price for wool advanced
the European nations had to
ave every pound Of wool grown in
heir countries and colonies for use,
of the war. If there had been
10 war the woolgrowers of the United
states would be getting a price lower
han 10 cents for their wool.
"Never again win Pennsylvania get

Ike to see the Democratic speakers 90
western Pennsylvania at this
Ime with their tariff arguments and
would like TO see the same speakers
ak about the invisible government
nd the different isms which were
before the people in 1912. If
hose speakers would have a fourth of
house I would be greatly surprised.
Pennsylvania is tired of the admins
and its laws and policies and
