most cases the recovery is exceedingly
rapid Is the only redeeming feature.
Few OF the resolution makers have
been known to remain In dreamland

affected industries have made no effort
to have the government take measures

Needless Worry

Too much protection from foreign

News.
How can there be too much protec-
ton against foreign competition? The
moment domestic industrials find
themselves in full possession OF the
American market through an adequate
protective tariff that moment begins
new and never-ending competition
among the domestic industrialists for
their share OF the American market.
by that competition prices are unfail.
ingly kept within the limits of reason.
able and ir profits Prices are far
more likely to go below than above
that limit as the result OF competition.
wherefore, in practical operation and
effect there can be no such thing as
too much protection. To repeat IA

co were to be raised to ten cents a
yard calico would continue to sell at
hve cents yard. Don't worry about
too much protection" The thing to
worry about Is too little protection.
