America Alone Unprotected.

While all great nations are taking
steps TO protect their home markets,
President Wilson takes no steps to
protect America. He talks OF the
world being open to American genu-
ius, but he fails to mention the fact
that the doors of every great nation
are shut to Americans by trade alli-
ances framed for the benefit of fore
igners and against the interests OF
America.
Not only are American products
made to pay extremely high duties,
but many others are absolutely pro-
hibited from entry into Great Britain
and France. These nations are not
relying solely upon high tariffs. They
are protecting their own manufactur-
ers and laborers by excluring Ameri-
can products altogether.
What is America doing to protect
itself? Fine words of world trade
and serving humanity do not meet
the situation.
The Republican party stands for a
protective tariff. 1t demands the inn
mediate industrial defense of the
United States. Charles e. Hughes is
the champion OF industrial protection
Woodrow Wilson is the champion OF
a vague, far-off Service to humanity
which means opening the American
market to the dumpings of cheap
labor foreigners.
The best way for Americans to
serve humanity is to safeguard the
honor and prosperity of the United
States. The best man to carry on this
work is Charles +. Hughes, backed
by the united Republican party.

observation-disclosures

w ltSOll--ItuRntS
Some years ago an ardent disciple
OF William j. Bryan died in Connec-
ticut. He left modest estate and
bequeathed sum of money to his
idol. In addition he left sealed en-
yelope containing directions to pay
handsome amount to Mr.. Bryan.
The wiLOw and her advisors did not
recognize this document as an essen
tial part of the testator's will and
the needs of the widow were such
that she did not feel that she could
spare the money. Yet Bryan went
into the courts, fought that widow
and tried to wrest from her the mon
ey which she needed and which he
could claim in only a shadowy fash
ion. The courts turned him away
empty-handed.
Six years ago Woodrow Wilson
resigned the presidency of Princeton
University in order to enter politics.
lie was elected Governor of New
jersey and came into receipt of the
largest salary he has ever enjoyed.
By reason of his political position
and through the aid of George Har-
vey, then at the head of the Harper
publishing establishment, DR.. Will
sons books took on an increased
sale and his royalties were largely
augmented. Yet he sought to per-
suade the trustees of the Carnegie
Teachers pension Fund TO make him
grant-though his years in the pro-
fessional chair did not entitle him TO
receive it, though the manner of his
leaving the teaching profession did
not warrant his claim, and though
his financial circumstances were not
such as to bring him within the pur-
view of the Carnegie benevolence
The trustees turned him down.
Five years ago Joseph Pulitzer
died. He left large estate, por-
tion of which comprised the great
newspaper properties, the New York
World and the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. He sought the perpetuity OF
those properties and for that pur-
pose he named certain trustees
Among them was Charles E. Hughes,
upon whom alone of all the trustees
| designated Mr.. Pulitzer laid no
Limitation of his term of service. To
Mr.. Hughes Pulitzer bequeathed
100000 as recompense for his SER
vice. Hughes declined the trust and
the bequest, though at the time he
had nothing but his salary as JUS
tice of the Supreme Court, though
there was no legal bar to his accept
ance, though the wishes of the testa-
tor were not only clearly expressed
in the will but had been reinforced
| by oral meassges before Mr.. Pulit-
zer's death.
Today Bryan, in order to advance
Wilson's political fortunes, is assail-
| ing Hughes with yelled insinuations
| of dishonorable conduct, today Will
! sons press agents and advocates on
| the stump are defaming Hughes in
/ tegrity and motives. today Wilson
himself is within hairs breadth of
| the same thing.
Yet above is the instructive record
of the three men Bryan, Wilson
and Hughes.
