IN LINCOLN'S FOOTSTEPS

~ HOSE who are criticising
VI President Wilson for
changing his views on
some subjects, particularly the
one of preparedness could
with equal logic assail Lincoln
for having radically altered
his position with reference to
slavery after he became presi-
dent.
In a speech at the Cooper
Institute in New York on Feb.
ruary 27, 1860, Lincoln said;
Wrong as we think
slavery is, we can afford
to let it alone where it is,
because that much is due
to the necessity arising
from its actual presence
in the nation; but can we,
while our votes prevent it,
allow it to spread into the
national territories and to
overrun US here in the free
states"
In an address at New Ha.
ven, Conn, March 6, 1860, the
Great Emancipator said:
Now l don't wish to
be misunderstood, nor to
leave a gap down, to be
misrepresented, even. I
don't mean that we ought
to attack it where it is.
To me it seems that if we
were to form a govern
ment anew, in view Of the
actual presence Of slavery,
we should find it neces-
sary to frame just such a
government as our fathers
did-giving to the slave
holder the entire control
where the system was es-
tablished, while we pos
sess the power to restrain
it from going outside
those limits"
The foregoing quotations
are from Abraham Lincoln's
Speeches" compiled by L. Z.
Chittenden, ex-register Of the
treasury and published by
Dodd, Mead & Co., in 1895.
The expressions quoted show
plainly that in campaigning
for the presidency Lincoln
held the view that slavery
should be allowed to continue
in the slave states but should
be rgidly prohibited from
spreading When he issued
the emancipation proclamation
he at one fell sWOOp abolished
slavery everywhere in the uni
en-. It was a Just and righte.
GUS act, necessitated by the
circumstances at that time,
But it was obviously a shift OF
front on the part Of Lincoln
and illustrates the adage that
wise men sometimes change
their minds. A man is a fool
who does not alter his views
when altered circumstances
demand it.
When the world was at
peace and this country was in
no way threatened President
Wilson was not an advocate Of
preparedness. He was con.
sidered rather anh-military
But with all Europe now en-
yeloped in the flames Of war
and our own peace menaced in

The governor proposes that power

II the governor or the Ore

objection to the Ferris bill.
The administrations measure
provides that where states have
commissions with power to

companies shall be left in their
hands.
But on what page and in
what line of the public utility

How much longer will the

THE BRITISH VIEW OF 1T

The American workincmen who de
sire continuous rather than intermit-
tent employment should be interested
in the view which British manufactur-
ers take OF the effect of a tariff law
in this country. The Democratic free
trade measure was passed early in
October. 1913. In the December fol
lowing a New York paper contained
London dispatch. which was reveal
ing. II said: British manufacturers
are reluctant 20 embark their capital
in preparing for the demands expected
from America until they are convinced
that the nen tariff policy is not likely
To be- reversed by d popular reaction. d"
In other words. British manufactur-
ers realized that a free trade policy
would enable them 20 sell large quan.
titles OF goods IN the United states.
but they could not build extensions to
their factories in order TO supply our
markets. unless they could have assur-
dnce that America would not reinstate
MS protective tariff policy. The rein
statement OF the protective tariff
would mean the shutting out OF the
British goods and the closing down OF
he extensions 20 British mills Con
versely u would mean the opening OF
American mills and the employment
OF larger numbers OF American work
men. The popular reaction" which
he British manufacturers feared has
already made ifs appearance. This
was shown not only in the election OF
1914. when the Democratic majority
the House was cut from l6G 10 %.
bur has been shown in later state and
district elections. and will result in an
overwhelming defeat Of the Demo
cratic party in the Congressional cleo
tions OF 1916 The British manufactur.
or- could readily foresee that the
American laboring men. who. forum.

stand FOR an economic policy which
