James ]. Hill urges that we loan a
billion or so to the belligerents of
the triple entente. They are buying
things from us, he argues, and if we
do not lend them money they cannot
pay us for our goods, our exports
will fall off and our crops will decline
in value. Then all this tremendous
"war order export business is not
real business at all--eh, Mr.. Hill ?
Anyone can do business if he will lend
his customers money to pay their
bills. gt-s

MAJORITY FAvoRs PROTECTION

Many times it has been pointed out
that in 1912 the Republican and
Progressive platforms declared in fav-
or of the protective principle and that
the candidates of those two parties
polled at total of 7,607,7 votes while
the Democratic candidate received
only 6,209,S1S. 1t is notorious that
the Democratic candidate received
hundreds of thousands of votes of
staunch Republicans whose course was
determined by the feeling aroused by
strife within the party.
But there are some figures, not
so well known, that throw light on
the real strength of protection senti-
ment. Woodrow Wilson had major
ity in only Ia states, with total of
l52 electoral votes. The combined
Republican and Progressive votes con-
stituted majority of 81 states whose
electoral vote aggregated 379. If,
therefore, the enactment of a tariff
law had been determined by the ac-
tual vote cast, the Republican and
Progressive tariff principles would
have been maintained by an electoral
vote of two and one-half to one.
This fact was pointed out by Sem
ator Warren, of Wyoming, during
The tariff debate in 1918. Senator
Warren also presented figures show
ing that the IL southern states and
Arizona and Oklahoma, which gave a
majority for the Democratic party,
have a total population of 26,534 1923
while the "a northern and western
states which gave majority for the
two protective tariff parties, have a
total population og 65,097 1853.
The people of this country were in
favor Of protection in 1912, and, after
two years. experience with tariff
for revenue only, they are more
strongly in favor Of protection, not
withstanding the fact that the dire re-
suits of Democratic tariff policies
were prevented by the outbreak Of
the European war.
