Dense and STUPID.

In their stubborn and stupid refusal
TO recognize the facts of the past,
which have proved conclusively that
the best and surest source of revenue
is a Protective Tariff, the Free-Trad-
ers to shut their eyes to the facts of the
near future. They are blind TO the
certainty OF a past-War competition
fiercer than any the world has ever
known. Every one knows or should
know, that the entire commercial
policy of Europe IS to undergo a
change. The British Empire is to be
come a Protective nation; France is
to raise her duties and so IS Russia.
Government backing of industrial en-
terprise viii be the rule of Europe
Trade pacts to control the sources OF
raw materials and to restrict foreign
competition have been signed Cred
its will be liberal. Labor viii be plen-
tiful, and skilled occupations carried
on by women; while large numbers OF
the Orientals are being transported to
do unskilled work.
Every sign points TO imperative
need of z strong and undertaking Pro
tectiYe policy in the near future if
American labor industry and bust
ness are to be shielded against unprec-
idented world conditions IN trade com
petition. Yet American Free Traders
are too dense to comprehend that
outlook. Their traditional hatred of
Protection shuts out all consideration
of prudence, all the dictates of COM
mon sense They are willing to tax
our own people beyond endurance, but
they cannot be persuaded that through
a Protective Tariff the foreigners
ought to be compelled to pay.-Amer-
lean Economist.

Tha YsIIn,r Bullet

Far out in the white waste of that
deserted northern wilderness the
young hunters and their Indian guide,
Mukoki, had killed bear.
'Heem shot long time ago, old
wound-feeI bullet" exclaimed the
Indian. With his knife he extracted
the ball and peeled thin slice from
cleaned a dull rich yellow.
FThat bullet made of gold" he
breathed- mo yellow lead. That
gold, pure gold"
Weeks later and miles farther on,
there suddenly came a flash of fire
and the explosion of a gun at night.
A bullet struck the tree just above
Mukoki's head. From halfway down
the mountain came a terrible cry.
The next day the hunters prodded
the bullethole with knife, then with
drew it. On the tip of the blade was
a tiny feck of yellow. Another gold
bullet.
The hunt for lost gold mine, a
mysterious enemy who fires golden
bullets, is the story of the yellow
to be begun in Cappers Weekly of
April Ia. Nobody writes better ad-
venture stories than Curwood. You

may dream that you can do, but the
world can never tell until you have

If you fight you must fight fair or

Labor,s Best Friend.

Labor leaders in the United States
should not fail to note the significance
of the fact that their brethren IN
Great Britain have ceased to support
the policy of Free Trade and have al
igned themselves on the side of Pro
lection Proof of this is found in
the report of the Parliament commit
tees recent report urging the adop-
ton of a Tariff system that will in
clude preferences on imports from
the British colonies and also preserve
the British home marker free from
injurious competition. This report,
frankly protective in tone, was signed
by several members who until now
have been Free-Traders- Among
them is Hon. George W. Wardle, La
borite member of Parliament, who
has hitherto sided with CObdenites,
but who now seeks that British Ia
boris interests can best be served
through a Protective Tariff What is
true of q British labor is true of
American labor. Protection is la
boris best friend; Free-Trade its
worst enemy Economist.

Looking Forward.


Thinking men are not misled by
the temporary boom into belief that
the country is on a basis of perma-
nent prosperity. They know the
cause of the present era of profitable
prices for farm products and they
know that when the war ends the
boom must collapse. In his address
at the recent annual meeting of the
Oregon Wool Growers Association,
President W. S. Barrett said:
eve are living in a FOOLS paradise.
The bloody scOurge of Europe, the
wanton waste of life and property is
in a large measure the cause of our
prosperity; every dollar we are re-
ceiving for our wool and mutton
above its normal value is wrested
from the life-blood of ourfellowmen."
President F. J. Hagenbarth, at the
ffty-thiTd annual convention of the
National Association of Wool Grow
ers had in mind the certainty of
| changed conditions when he said:
Il would again advise that we do
not lose sight of the fact that we are
today riding on the crest of the wave
of prosperity. I would advise that
each and everyone of US pay up all
debts and be prepared for the coming
period of readjustment-
Foreign-grown woods will always
be seious competitor against our
| own, and nothing but a tariff will
equahze the superior advantages of
the foreign wool grower as compared
with production of this staple under
present conditions IN the United
States"
1t is well to be looking ahead. The
congressional campaign of 1913 is not
for ahead. That campaign will de-
termine whether for Protection or
Free Trade the control of both the
Senate and House of the Sixty-sixth
Congress shall be secured.-Amer-
