suuarelv for Protection.

In the present campaign only one
party favors q tariff that viii protect
American industries, and the American
standard Of wages and living. The
Democratic national convention showed
that the party leaders have made no
substantial change in their free trade
policy. The only way to return to pro-
tective principles is to elect the Repub-
hean ticket. Mr.. Bryan, for one Dem
ocrat, sees and admits that the party
has not materially modified its Golden
tie intentions. The talk of tariff COM
mission is blind. It is Congress that
makes tariffs. A Democratic Congress
will never pass protective tariff law,
no matter what a tariff commission says
or does. Nor will such commission
under a Democratic administration
recommend the abandonment of free
trade, or concede that free-trade theo-
ries have broken down They have
plainly been dropped by England in re-
gard to the future action of its allies.
France and Russia are protective coun-
tries, and would not for an instant con-
slider the adoption of free trade. No
longer can England contend that free
, trade is preventive of war, safe
guard in the growth of universal peace
sentiment. Already the allies have
taken steps toward an agreement on
protective measures in trade. AS for
Germany it has always been firmly and
Complementary protective. It's whole
economic system is based on the pro-
lection of all its interests on sea and
land.
The United States under all Republi-
can administrations there have
been few of any other kind in the last
| fifty-fve years-has been a protective
nation. Our vast national progress
since 1861 is identified with the pro-
tective policy All this time the Demo
cratic party has been for free trade.
1t has never had protective platform
nor confessed to any failure of tariff
for revenue only. This leopard will
never change its spots. A vote for
Wilson will be renewal of the free
trade program, an extension of the pres
ent tariff law, license to go farther
in the same direction, a notice served
that the dumping of foreign goods is
at liberty to proceed. Wilson IS re-e1ec-
tion would be wink to Congress on
the subject of tariff commission. The
party that has always been against
tariff duties for protection can be
beaten, but never transformed into
something else by success in an election.

The Broad Street Channel.


We hardly believe that anyone viii
accuse us Of being neglectful of the
g city beautiful or being forgetful Of
the q city sanitary but we admit that
it is hard for US to enthuse over the
action of the Common Council in direct
ing the addition of $4,000 to the bud
get for next year with a view Of using
this money to dig channel to connect
Pike River with Lake Michigan at the
north end of Washington Island. We
say this even with the knowledge that
Washington Island is to become the
city s most beautiful park.
If $1,000 bills grew on bushes and
Kenosha was wooded island, there
might be justification for such an ap-
preparation, but even then, we believe,
that the aldermen should have at least
wasted a minute of their valuable time
to discuss the matter. Kenosha is not
wooded island and $4,000 bills do
not grow on bushes here and it looks
little hard to set aside a full mill
tax on the property of Kenosha for an
experiment.
Possibly there are engineers and
drainage canal experts in the council
who are able to say something of the
cost Of the channel and the cost of it's
maintenance, but we believe that a lot
Of the members of the council can be
deemed guilty of buying a cat in a bag.
The proposition would mean little less
than the building of an auxiliary har-
Dor. With the faith that we have in
City Engineer Brennan we believe that
the piers can be built and the dredging
done with an initial cost of $4,000.
An automobile can be bought now for
$3.50, but this is not the total expense
of having an automobile. A lot of peo-
pie spend as much as the initial cost Of
the automobile every year keeping it in
running order and furnishing something
for it to run with. We wonder if this
will not be the case of the proposed
drainage canal at Broad street.
In the past years the United States
government has appropriated hundreds
of thousands of dollars for the main
tenance of the Kenosha harbor and
nearly all of this money has been spent
how? In dredging. Is there any rea-
son to believe that the small channel
which the city will dig at Broad street
will be in any way immune to the raw
ages of the northeast storms and that
it will not take thousands Of dollars to
maintain such channel? Have compe-
tent engineers declared that the propo-
sition is a practical one and that the
letting of the waters of the lake into
this channel will result in better con-
dition of the river?
Nor is this all. Are the honorable
members of the council who voted
unanimously to harness the lake as a
river cleaner convinced that the island
property is not going to be damaged
by the rush, of water from the lake,
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-08-24

that the city is not going to be forced
to expend large sums to protect the
island property that is to become
park and that property owners will not
have a chance to make claims for dam
ages when tides sweep into this narrow
channel and into the river2 It seems
to US that it would be important to
know these things before the chance is
taken. It is the peoples money and
the people s property that the council
is taking chances with and taking them
without investigation
As scenic improvement to Keno
sha s new park the channel would I'M
doubtedly be very acceptable, but con-
siderable scenery of various kinds can
be purchased for $35, 900. There are so
many places that an equal amount of
money could be spent to beautify and
to clean and purify, that we are not
ready to say that this is the best way
to spend mill tax We are reminded
that there is going to be a demand for
a good many mill taxes this fall. When
the finance committee gets ready to
make up the budget, the fiddler will
have to be paid in lot of ways and
voting mill taxes on the part of the
council should have been worthy of
just little more consideration.
Federal engineers should be able to
give some excellent advice along these
lines. They have been dealing with old
Lake Michigan for number of years
ard they know more of the difficulties
which center about an attempt to har-
ness its surf thar do aldermen of any
of the cities along the shores. These
men would be able and willing to give
the city some real facts in regard to
just how practical this plan would be.
II they hold that the plan is one that
will really clean the river and aid III
identifying property that the city is
to have for all time and that expenses
Of maintenance will not go soaring,
much of the opposition which is rather
insistent just at present would be re-
moved.
The river has been dirty for many
years. The lake has been there all the
time and it is not going to move and
it is just possible that little fore
thought right now would save the city
much regret in the future.
Undoubtedly the aldermen are willing
to do all they can to save the long suf-
fering property owners along the banks
of the river from further annoyance
from the stencil of stale waters and
collecting sewage, but even then the
other people of the city who are to pay
the lion IS share of the cost are entitled
to more than just passing consideration.
The city now stands pledged to the
construction of this channel, but the ac-
ton of the council is not irrevocable
and possibly the course of wisdom
would be to look just a little farther
into the proposition before contracts
for the expenditure of SO large sum
are signed
