corunna Bushes. Men. Banquet.

Corunna, February 1I.-About six
ty-five Corunna business men and
citizens sat down to the first annual
banquet of the Corunna Improvement
association at the Grand Central hotel
tuesday evening. A very substantial
three-course DINNER was well served
by Landlord c. ID. Smiths corps of
walters.
Ex-Mayor H. E. Slocum presided as
POSTMASTER. In his Introductory re-
marks he said that every city had SER
ious problems to solve and that dur
ing the past two years Corunna had
had her share. He emphasized the
necessity of citizens having confid-
ence in organization to further the
interest of the town.
Ex-senator Rosenkrans spoke in an
optimistic vein regarding the city's
future, expressing confidence that the
next two years would see many
changes for the better.
w. J. Parker made an earnest and
interesting plea for the citizens
through their organization, to stand
together and boost for the welfare of
the town. He recounted many i'm
provements which had taken place
since he came here to live. He spoke
of the misfortunes which we had suf-
fered during the past two years
through the loss of the factories but
that the city was recovering rapidly.
w. A. McMuilen thought that the
Improvement association was a great
help to business activity and general
welfare of the city and that it was
only through organization Of this
kind that they could expect to accom-
plish anything by way of improve
ment.
j. c. Quayle, f. ]. Herrick, Mayor
w. j. Simeon, c. NJ. Bilhimer, Fred
Peacock, George Clark and others
spoke briefly Of their interest in the
welfare Of Corunna's progress.
All together it was the most en-
unification boost-for-Co-
runna meeting that has ever been
held in the city. A number of new
members were taken into the associa-
ton after the adjournment.

ends. and with it the only kind of Pro.
lection they get-that of the war itself
and the potash from Europe again
comes in to overwhelm the market and
the American enterprise, IL it
runs at all, to run at a loss Shall this
caustic potash industry Of the Niagara
frontier keep on. as 1t used to, working
for nothing, or for less than nothingH
Or shall 1t shut up shop. and let its
competitors from Europe have the
market to themselvesf That is plain
business proposition.
The case is typical of many actual or
prospective manufactures In this coun.
try. They would keep on, or they
would begin, If they could have any
reasonable assurance that they would
not run the risk of total loss of their
investment by European competition.
The caustic potash industry Is fair
proof of what may be laid down as a
general principle, that when a legiti.
mate American enterprise needs, and
can prove that it needs, moderate de-
gree of Protection to safe guard it
against being driven out of the market
by foreign competition. it should have
what encouragement is necessary to
Justify it, from a sound business stand
point, in entering the field at all.
Yes, Mr.. Mack; that is the question,
whether this Buffalo potash plant shall
be permitted to live under an adequately
Protective Tariff, or whether it shall go
to wreck and ruin after the war is over
and cheaper German potash drives it to
the wall. That is the question, not
only as to potash, but as to practically
all American industries. You have
stated the case well, Mr.. Mack. You
are good Protectionist. More power

MR.. MACK'S PERSISTENT
PROTECTIONISM

Norman E. Mack, of the Buffalo
Times, and also of the Democratic
National Committee as member from
the State of New York, is making
mighty good progress as Protection
'hot gospeller. Like the boy who had
hold of the calls tail, he can't let go
Perhaps he would rather not let go
We hope that is the way of it. Any
how, Mr.. Mack keeps right on holding
to the proposition that Protection is a
vital necessity to this country, that 1t is
not an exclusively Republican doctrine,
and that no Democrat who upholds
Protection violates Democratic faith or
tradition. He points to Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Jack
son as Democratic Protectionists, and
he cites the case of Samuel j. Randall
in proof of his contention that man
may be mighty big Democrat and a
mighty good Protectionist at one and
the same time. But perhaps the most
conclusive proof of all is the fact tn.
Mr. Mack himself is good Democrat
and also good Protectionist
The plainest and most logical of pleas
in behalf of Protection for the creation
of new industries aud for the assured
maintenance of industries already
established is set forth in recent ed.
torial in the Buffalo Times. Nothing
that we could say would be more to the
point or more convincing as to the
entire soundness of the Protection
policy; wherefore we quote Mr.. Mack's
argument, as follows:
''Caustic potash on the free list. II
should be borne in mind that caustic
potash is not used in any way in the
fertilizing business. SO the question
We are considering cannot affect the
manufacture of fertilizers and also
stands clear of any liability to be con
fused with the branch of the Tariff topic
relating to agriculture. 10 fact, caustic
potash occupies an industrial field
peculiarly its own, ana in its economic |
aspects presents a notably marked CD
portunity for Independent treatment.
The manufacture of caustic potash is
q difficult and complicated process. A
plant for the highgrade electrolytic
variety involves particularly heavy ex.
penditures. Up 10 the time of the pres
ent war the American caustic potash |
industry had to meet formidable, and,
indeed, crushing competition from the
German manufacturers, the German
industry being backed by lower cost of
living and lower wage scales than in
this country, as well as by law carefully |
designed to enable the business to
thrive.
Since the war began, plant engaged |
n caustic potash manufacture, and so
near Buffalo that it is to all intents and
purposes one of our local industries,

ts running expenses, thing it could
never do before. Now the owners of

will do when, in course of time the war

said that Wall-st., like the rest of the

II Is impossible to say whether the

belief that the German admiralty's
