All through Ohio Mr.. Hughes warned
against the trade war that will follow
European peace. He recalled wildly
to the Wellsville shop workers that Tor
thirty days after the passage of the
Underwood bill, two years ago, fewer
men were employed than previously in
the shops history.
The GAINESVILLE speech. early this
evening, was regarded by those who
have been with Mr.. Hughes as the most
important tariff utterance OF the cam
paign. In short, incisive sentences.
with homely references, Mr.. Hughes
told lust why he believes America must
prepare for commercial warfare that
will be the bitterest and keenest IN
history.
There are some," said he, "who seem
to think that if you are going to build
house you can have windows and
doors and various things pertaining to
the upper stories and get along without
any foundation at all. Now, | am not
interested in that kind of architecture,
II you are going to have nice par
lor, in which you can entertain your
friends, and a nice dining room, in
which you can sit down to a good,
square meal, and nice bay window,
which will command beautiful out
look on the world, you have got to have
a foundation for your house.
'And the foundation in American life
is a chance to work; the foundation IN
American life is a chance to have
plants that are busy; the foundation
in American life is to get behind Amer
ican enterprise and make it hum, so
long as it is honest and straight and
fair. That is what | stand for"
81 do not know what men are think
ing Of who speak of the nations of
Europe so utterly exhausted and wasted
by war as not to be able to enter into
a very keen competition with the labor
of this country. The reverse is the
feet in the case.
Great Factories Waiting
"You need not suppose that the raw
ages of war have destroyed industrial
plants to any great extent. The war
itself has developed many establish
ments which can rapidly be converted
into productive establishments. You
have, on the other hand, raw materials
that are available. You have got some
thing besides that. You have ire
mcndous discipline brought about by
this struggle.
"That is not all going TO be forgotten
ms soon as the war stops. They are
already planning to turn that same en-
ergy into the activities Of peace. Europe
will be a new Europe then, and that Is
the Europe that will compete with the
United States"
There was n great outburst of APP
plause. but somebody yelled: "Hurrah
| for wilson," Mr.. Hughes turned to
the shouter and replied heatedly:
THAT is not an idle dream, because
you know, and those Of you who are
| excited to some manifestation Of ex-
uberant opposition may have reason to
know, II the foreign competition were
| to be me, with what il is to walk the
streets looking for work"
