LINcoLNs FAITH IN PROTECTION

In his article on abraham Lincoln
a Protectionist," printed in the Ameri-
can Economist recently, Mr.. George
B. Curtiss wrote 'In 1916 the Ameri-
can people were importing nails from
Great Britain and paying 16 cents a
pound. A duty of cents a pound
was imposed and by 1880 the entire
American market was being supplied
at 6 Y cents a pound"
Lincoln wrote many papers on pro-
lection and delivered speeches on the
subject illustrating his argument with
practical examples taken from the ex-
perience of the American people I'M
der the several tariff laws from 1916
until his own time. At this early per-
iod in the tariff history of the United
States the people recognized the prin-
ciple that protection reduces prices
Lincoln wrote:
But If a duty amounting to full
protection be levied upon an article
which can be produced here with as
little labor as elsewhere, as iron, that
article will ultimately and at no dis
tant day, in consequence of such duty
be sold to our people cheaper than be-
fore, at least, by the amount of the
cost of carrying it from abroad"
The cost of carrying is well worthy
of consideration today when ocean
freight rates have reached a phenom-
email figure, This item saved would
add much to the funds available in
this country for otherwise foreign
carriers would get 1t and the money
would go abroad. Protection for Am
erican industries would make certain
an adequate supply and competition
at home would keep prices down. It
Is to be noted that during the period
to which Lincoln referred there was
a great decline in prices of commodi
ties made in the United States. Mr..
Curtiss continues to cite examples:
"A few instances Of the decline of the
prices of cotton goods may be cited
RthhNSt .WilAOh 1000 aver
aged 25.O7 cents per yard In the fac
.ory, declined to 16 cents in 1880. 70
'ents in 1870. 1890 cents in 1S45 and
VA cents in 1850 The cotton fabrics
made at Waltham, staple articles
we're year by year reduced in price per
ard; 1919, 81 cents; 1926, 10 cents;
1923, Sh cents, and in 1S43 has de-
lined to 6k cents per yard. The
rice of cotton machinery fell 800 per
ent from 1910 to 1880, all brought
bout by the establishment Of manu-
actories in the United States, which
anne into competition with the for
ign manufactures and forced down
he price of foreign manufactures. and
his continued to reduce the price
lore and more as the Industries were
veloped and extended"

Two futile invasions of Mexico and
six separate and distinct policies on
the question of permitting arms and
ammunition to be sent into that coun-
try are included in the performance of
the Wilson administration in its deal
ings with our southern neighbors in
less than three years. 1t is this char
acteristic instability Of the govern
ment that makes people want a
change.

Had this government by the use of
both formal and informal diplomatic
opportunities left no doubt that when
we said strict accountability we
meant precisely what we said, and that
we should unhesitatingly vindicate
that position, / am confident that there
would have been no destruction of
American lives by the sinking of the
Lusitania." When Charles e. Hughes
made the above statement he voiced
the opinion of a majority OF the
thinking people of the United States.
The frequency and variety OF our
diplomatic notes had conveyed the
impression both at home and abroad
that they were just notes with moth
ing behind them.

pETRolTs IMPRESSION OF A MAN
Detroit Free Press.)


Governors Hughes visit to Detroit
opened the presidential campaign of
1916 and II we may forecast the events
that are to follow by the omens of
Monday we would prognosticate an in
tensly Warm, vivid and humanity inter-
esting period in the next few months.
Setting aside the auspices of meteor
illogical conditions in this provision of
the future-although they are approx
ed by numerous professional augurs
and by host of commonalty as we'll
we base this prophecy on the char
acteristics Of the candidate whose too
brief stay with US has been enjoyed
by all with whom he came into con-
tact.
The misguided individuals who have
been expecting Charles e. Hughes
would prove to be cold proposition
and therefore easy to beat are in for
shock that will make them think
they have been hit by an uninsulated
trolley wire. There is nothing cold
about Mr. Hughes, Detroit has learn
ed. He is about as intensely human
piece of humanity as ever captured
the hearts of a crowd, and the more
people in the United States he meets
between now and November the more
votes will be cast for him. AS cam
paigner he Is a revelation. He likes
his fellow beings, and they like him
because they see he likes them.
And what his personality begins his
remarkable powers of intellect and ut
terance finish. He drives his points
nome with tremendous force. What
he says sticks. There are thousands
OF Americans today who can retell
every step in the arguments he made
eight years ago on the Bryan trust
policy, yet in 1908 Mr.. Hughes was not
especially a, prominent figure and
there was no particular reason why his
ADDRESS more than others should have
remained clearly in memory except
the gift of the man to send his own
thoughts so deep into the brains of
others. They are clear in his own mind
hrst, undoubtedly. He knows precise
~ what he wants to say because he
mas reasoned 1t out before he speaks II
out. Probably that has something to
DO with the ease with which he con-
veys his meaning But 1t is a very
rare quality he possesses in his ability
to master subjects 40 thoroughly as
to make the most abstruse simple TO
himself and his hearers. 1t is. a quail
ity eminently desirable in political
candidate; it is infinitely more to be
desired in the president of great
country like the United States.
Detroit's impression of Charles e.
Hughes is all favorable The thous-
ands of people who have studied him
at close range are convinced that if he
is elected president next November he
viii be great president, one Of the
greatest this nation has known, worthy
to stand in history with George Wash
ington and Abraham Lincoln, a GUS
todian Of the republics fate to whom
that fate may be confidently intrusted
III that conviction is shared by the |
people OF other states whom he is still
to meet, the outcome Of his swing |
around the great American circle can !
not fail to be proptious for him.

...Safety First.
(By John H. carroll.)

The piston man In eighty-four,
Crimped caps between his teeth,
He's gone; you won't see him no more.
We're buyin' him a wreath;
When we said he'd get hurt some day,
He only laughed and cursed.
He'd still be walsin' round If he'd
Remembered Safety First"
Mike Stark jumped off movin train,
Stepped on pile of steels.
He lost his footin', down he came,
Fell underneath the wheels.
They had to cut leg and arm,
He's done for now, for good.
But he'd a-never come to harm
Had he guarded as he should.
A cousin Jack named Jimmy Ross
Was samplin' in a raise.
He, careless, put a board across
And said. Il hope she stays"
And then away up near the top,
He loosed a bloody stull,
1t was a ninety-six foot drop
He smashed his bloomin skull.
The raise man. cross in thirty place,
Forgot to holler fire.
He'd surely got us in the face
If he'd been three feet higher,
The cut hole didn't throw much muck,
And so we got away;
And now we thank our streak Of luck,
That we're alive today.
The fellows whove been thru the mill,
A workin' underground,
Say Watch yourself" no others will,
They've tried-that's what they've
found;
There's lots of things can happen,
But the commonest and worst,
Is to get yourself caught nappin'
And forget that "Safetys First"

For every reason that can be ad-

Charles f. Hughes. the republican
candidate. recognizes an important
fact that Woodrow Wilson, the demo-

enough to help Mexico out of the con-

try is plunged and, by securing order
in Mexico, insure peace on our border.
