Cornweu's Nomination
Predicted By Earl Smith
Fairmont Editor Says Romney
Man Will Be Choice of the
Democrats for Governor.

iRPEcIAL TO TIT rGLroSAh
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S.-Speak-
ing as one editor on another editors
political prospects. Earl w. Smith, Of
Fairmont, at the Raleigh, went on
record in a prophetic way rs forecast
ing the nomination Of John Cornwell,
of Romney. Mr.. Cornwell," he said,
will be the choice Of the party vot-
ers at the primary, as their candidate
for governor. 1t will be the logical
thing for our party to do to nominate
him. II taxation and the handling OF
state finances are to be the pivotal
issues upon which the election Is to
turn, for the reason that Mr.. Corn
well made splendid race on these
issues twelve years ago, against very
heavy odds. 1t is the Democratic
contention that the position he took
then, and the predictions he made,
have been vindicated. In this case
it is only question Of party exped-
iency and logic to be settled. for in
respect TO his ability, character and
popularity with the party there can
be and is no call for argument.
Senator Cory Hogg, who is also
candidate for the nomination, has
made a remarkably fine showing in
a brief time for man who Is but
little known outside Fayette and the
Eeighborlng counties 1t is fine tes-
timonial to him that he has made
such a favorabl impression upon the
party. Everywhere he has zone, and
this is especially true as to my own
city and county, he has made hosts
of friends who speak in the highest
words Of praise of him. Personally.
his success would not be tiisplcasing
to me, but l do not believe that his
candidacy will be able to prevail ever
that of Editor Cornwell"

Greatly Diluted Protectionism.

Among the "also rams" at the
/, Free-Trade symposium given by the
Republican Club of the City of New
York, January %, was Mr.. George
e. Roberts, formerly Director of the
Mint, and now an employee of big
New York banking institution. Mr..
Roberts has been for many years
past what might be called a "modi-
fed Protectionist, with rather more
water than milk mixture. Even
while holding an important office in
| q Protectionist administration he
modified" his Protectionism so far
as to fall in love with wide-open
reciprocity" in competing products
as a means of enlarging a foreign
trade that under the Protection pol
icy was charging itself by leaps and
bounds. He was entirely willing that
some of our industries should be
sacrificed in order that some other
Industries might be advantaged.
Apparently Mr.. Roberts had added
yet more water to his very small
quantum of Protection milk. At the
Republican Clubs Free-Trade SYM
postum he urged that the Protective
policy must be applied with more
discrimination than 1t has some
times in the past; that the Protective
policy must not be one of isolation
and exclusion-not If you want for
eign trade" Evidently Mr.. Roberts
has never read the statistics of the
years following the election Of Will
liam Mckinley and the enactment OF
the Dingley Tariff. The policy of
Isolation and exclusion put in
force by Mckinley and Dingley SO
operated as to bring about an i'm
mense increase in our foreign trade,
while the opposite policy Of the Will
son-Underwood regime produced the
opposite effect of greatly reducing
our foreign trade in the ten months
preceding the outbreak OF the Euro
pean war.
Not being familiar with the fact
that Protection has invariably slim
ulated both our foreign and domestic
trade, Mr.. Roberts naturally falls in
to the error of supposing that the
only way to get more foreign trade
is to exchange goods for goods in
equal quantities.; that is, we must
buy things which we can ourselves
produce, hence don't need. in order
that foreigners can pay us in goods
for things which they need and must
have. That has long been and still
is the basic foundation stone of Free
Trade. In embracing doctrine the
opposite of which has made our
country the most prosperous in the
world, Mr.. Roberts seems to have
gone on diluting his Protectionism
until it is now all water.--Free-Trade
water.
