have got to tell what you really
mean.
Marvel of Legislation.
In ms anti-dumping act we find
one Of the marvels Of recent Iegisla-
ton As a student Of legislation /
lhlnk IT Is tarcical, ] think il Is per
pectly preposterous to say that il pro-
tects anything or anybody. And as n
defense to American trade and Ameri-
can workmen against the competition
Of European nations after the war. it
is worse than useless.
Let me show you what II saws II
starts out by saying. That II shall be
unlaWful FOR any person importing or
assisting in importing any articles
from any foreign country into the
United states, commonly and systemat-
ically'-how defendants counsel would
love those words commonly and
systematically to import ana sell, Or.
cause to De imported or sold, such
articles within the United States mt a
price substantially less than the actual
market value or wholesale price of
such articles in the principal markets
or the country or their production
Now this is criminal statute, and
before you get under way you have
got to prove that this thing has been
done--commonly and systematically. !
How long would it go on before the
prosecuting attorney feels he can trust
a case ?"
Statute Imperative.
MT Hughes then reiterated his at |
tack on the acts provision, declaring |
that he did not think "it left anything
of the statute so far as practical on |
GRAFTON Is concerned"
The entire country would feel the |
effect OF Europe competition after the !
war Mr. Hughes continued. Labor, |
now employed, would be turned to !
compete with other labor. Purchasing |
power, he went on, would DO reduced, |
and "on the other hand instead of a !
Europe concerned with war with NIL
lions Of men not producing, you van
have those men turned to the uctivi-
ties OF peace and producing more e.
IlcitAGy than ever before.
What are we doing about Il? There
Is not a nation in Europe but what Is
taking account Of the economic condi-
tons likely to arise after the war.
What are we doing? ! am not here
to debate theories. | am not here to
discuss time-worn arguments about
free trade or protection. | am here
to deal with facts which overy student
Of American affairs cannot fail to rec
1gni2e, and ] tell you that at this time
You have got to apply the republican
doctrine Of protection to American in
lustry.'
Europe 90 Recover Rapidly.
The nations engaged in the conflict.
Tar from being exhausted and unable
economically TO recover soon from the
effects of the war Mr.. Hughes said,
would recover much more rapidly
han supposed, If history were repeat
I'd, as i'm the cases of Russia after the
Russo japanese war. France after the
'ranco-Prussian war, and the north
'rn states after the civll war in this
country.
POSED to have am American admins
ration, If elected.
Mr. Hughes speech here tonight ,
vas the fourth one OF the day In his
irst address at Utica he devoted much
# his time to his tariff views and
\mericansm He reiterated his de- ,
nal that a vote for him meant a vote
or war.
At Auburn the nominee assailed the
for its alleged failure !
o observe the merit system in making J
ppointments, and declared for a fair !
nd equitable retirement system for 1
ivtl service employees. {
In his Auburn speech Mr.. Hughes {
lSo denounced the statement that
ote for him meant vote for war as =
false, unworthy, preposterous and S
He again expressed the 4
onvictlon that he would be elected
