BRITISH LABORERS
O PROTECTION

More than one million majority for
protection to goods made in England
was the vote registered by the Trades
Union congress which met at Bir-
mingham, England, the week of Sep
TENDER 9th. This congress represent
ed $500, 900 workers, and the resolu-
ton adopted by such a huge majority
calls for "the adoption of methods for
restricting or preventing the impor-
tation of cheap manufactured goods
produced at lower rates of wages and
under worse labor conditions than
prevail in this (England) country"
What is this but the Republican pro-
tective idea, 'undiluted"?
The action taken by the Trades I'm
ion congress, following the recon-
mendation made the first of the year
by the British Board of Trade that
England should return Immediately
to the protective policy, has been an
awful wallop to the free trade dis
ciples of Woodrow Wilson, and the
ariff-for-revenue-only school of SEN
ator Underwood. For over half a CEN
fury the Democrats have pointed to
Great Britain as the model free-trade
nation.
Up to 1916 the industries of Great
Britain were fostered by protective
tariffs. Under the protective policy
England became industrially pre-
eminent. "The policy of protection"
says George B. Curtiss, had been
practiced for the purpose of building
up the industries of England and
making her the greatest manufactur-
ing center in the world. This had
been accomplished" But while Eng
land was perfecting her machinery,
increasing her factories, and educat-
ing her artisans to the point where
she could manufacture for the whole
world. the United States and the ma
tons of Europe were building up ri
val industries under the protective
policy. In 1886, England, believing
herself to be ~invincible in the indus
trial arena, entered into a campaign
to demolish the protective walls of
her rivals. The leader of this move
ment vas Richard Golden, and that
the arguments of the Golden school
might prevail, England Invested her
self of the protective policy. Moth
ing but the aid derived from restric-
tive regulations and prohibitions will
be efectual to prevent the total de-
struction of their establishments in
the countries where they are set up"
said ]. r. McCulloch, in his CONNER
cial Dictionary, published in 1847.
And hundreds of thousands of dol
lars were placed at the disposal of
the Cobdenites to effect the repeal of
these regulations in the United States
and European countries.
The arguments of Golden at first
made an appeal to the Germans. OPP
Grating under the Zollverein for
nearly half a century. that empire
had become unified. but from 1865 to
1879 Germany operated under free
trade. The results were disastrous.
In 1879 the Great Bismarck effected
the return of Germany to the protec-
tive policy. Writing from his post in
Dusseldorf in 1884, the British con-
sui said; These provinces not only
now supply their own and the re-
quirements OF Germany with pro-
