The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1916-10-20

There is one particular subject with
which the United States must deal
in order to meet the revulsion in pro-
duction and trade which will accom-
pany the close of the great war. That
is the Tariff. l think there is very
general agreement upon that. When
the demand for supplies to the armies
in the field has ended great numbers
of men will return to productive en-
plOyment in Europe and great num-
bers of operatives will be thrown out
of employment here and will have to
find other work. Europe will have
little money and be heavily in debt.
She will be under strong compulsion
to pay her debts by making and sell
ing goods. She will be on a basis of
strict economy and high organization
and she can make and sell cheaply.
The United States will have an abun-
dance of money and vast purchasing
power. Our market has always been
attractive to European producers. 1t
will be far more attractive after the
war. 1t is highly probable that even
England will resort to a protective
tariff, so that our production will meet
protective barriers in all foreign mar
kets. What are we going to do then?
We must do something. We must pro-
tect ourselves or we shall become the
dumping ground of the world and our
workmen will beg in the streets.
E,vpn tho re- hora caor
that something must be done, for they
have provided tariff board to ascer-
tain and report the true facts to which
a tariff law is to be applied. In AIR.
Taft's Administration the Republicans
provided for tariff board to report
to the President and it was appointed
and doing excellent work. When the
Democratic House elected in 1910
came in they starved it out of exist

ence by refusing appropriations. In
the last session of the 61st Congress
the Republicans passed through both
Houses a new bill for a tariff board to
report to Congress. There were some
slight differences of detail in the two
Houses which were agreed upon in
conference, but the Democrats filibus-
tered against the final conference re-
port and so killed the bill. So the
tariff board was dead-slain by the
Democratic party. 1t has now been
resurrected by that party because they
see that something must be done
about the tariff when the war closes.
Now. we can all understand that if the
country wants tariff for revenue only
they may put the making of it in the
hands of the Democratic party. But,
can any sane man contemplate that
party making a protective tariff? In
the first place they can't do it honestly.
They don't believe in it. They were
born and bred in a different faith.
They have been crying so long that
protection is an abuse of power and an
abomination that they can't reconcile
themselves to a protective tariff, and
they regard the Underwood tariff as a
model. That is what we are to have
if the Democrats go back. The Under
wood tariff still, with perhaps here
and there a slight modification regard
ing dye stuffs and some other articles
which can be shown to gentlemen
from Missouri and elsewhere. Well,
If there ever was clumsy, i'll conceiv-
ed misfit law, it is the tariff which
bears Mr.. Underwood's name. We had
already discovered what its effect was
when the war in Europe began.
Many mills and factories were
closed or running but part of the
time. Great numbers OF laborers were
thrown out of employment and the
market for American products was
still further reduced by the destruc-
ton of their purchasing power. En-
terprise halted, discouraged and appre-
hensiye of the future. New enter
prises were no longer attempted. Old
plants were no longer enlarged. The
Underwood tariff had already failed
when the war in Europe began. That
war furnished and continues to fur
nish to American production the most
absolute protection because it has to so
great a degree stopped production in
Europe. So long as the war lasts our
producers have practically no compe-
tition in our home market, for Europe
does not make the goods to sell here.
At the same time, while the war lasts
our producers have an enormous mar
ket in Europe for the things that Eu-
rope can't produce in sufficient guam
titles. When the war is over that con-
dition will cease, and we shall deserve
what happens to us if we do not pro-
vide against that time by tariff quite
different from the Underwood tariff
and made by men who do not consider
a tariff for revenue only an article
of religious faith.-From the speech of
Elihu Root delivered at Carnegie Hall,
New York City, October 8, 1916.

Election of Hughes Means Peace
With Honor-Not War, Not
Peace With Infamy.

"We have heard in recent days
that the alternative of the policy
of the present Administration is
war. think the alternative of
the present administration is
peace with honor. | am a man
devoted to the pursuits of peace.
We cherish the ideals of peace.
We entertain no thoughts of ag-
gressiOn; we are not covetous,
we are not exploiters, but we
are Americans, and American
rights must be maintained
throughout the world. That is
the cornerstone of our security;
that is the essential basis of
peace. We are not counting
struggle, but 1 do say in all seri-
BUSINESS that we have been living
in a period of national humilia-
ton.
sour citizens have been muir
dered, their property destroyed
and our commerce interrupted.
The alternative of a weak and
vacillating policy is not war; it
is a firm insistence on known
rights in a world where all ma
lions desire our friendship and
we desire the friendship of all,
and where only inexcusable blum
dering could drag us into strife"
