The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1917-12-06

We are still indulging the deluslon
of being too proud to fight and OF
having economic peace without VIC
tory
Unfortunately the disciples Of econ
omic unpreparedness are in the saddle
in all fhe branches of our government.
They are the same men who took the
protection out of the tariff in 1913.
And in their blind devotion to party
doctrine they still believe that our re-
cent prosperity is due to the Under
wood tariff and not to the war.
Such minds can be reiied on to OPP
nose any policy of effective protec-
tion of our market against an AFTER
war stampede from Europe. They
would rather risk an industrial de-
preston than adopt adequate protec-
ton to prevent one.
True, the president has appointed
tariff commission, but 1t Is or the
same mental type and economic stripe
as congress- 1t only adds to the uttei
lhonelessness of getting from the pre-
sent administration any real prepared
ness for protecting our industries
against the coming onslaught.
The only hope of continuing oul
present prosperity after the war isst'
secure congress with pronounced
protective tariff mandate. Next L
winning the war. the election of sucl
congress is the most important prob
lem for the American people to con
template.
