THE TARLEF nv EPAULETs.

N an address before the Lawyers Club, New York the
other day. Rear-Admira Chadwick. retired. gave his
audience to understand that wars would be wased so
long protective tariffs existed hence commerce should
be permitted to untrammecd by trade restrictions
Admiral Chadwick like fee-trade advocates in general
tackles the problem at the wrong end Instead Of trumpet
ing against the custom houses and arguing for policy
which would put the products Of the three-doar-a-ay
American workman in competition with the output of the
dollar-a-day European the wenty-6ve-cents-a-day
Oena why do they not naugurate propaganda Of lar.
ger atism and induce our foreign competitors to give
labor larger share in the products Of its toll in the shape
Of higher wages. which would create higher standard Of
living?
If foreign competitors will persist in the perpetual
ton of peasant class through the payment to labor Of Just
enough keep body and soul together the United States
should not make itself party to such policy by free
trade, by reducing the wages of labor here But if
Great Britain. for example, produce bolt Of cotton
cloth for $500, because Of the low cost of the labor in
volved and costs the United States $3.50 to produce the
bolt of cloth, because we pay labor much higher
rate it stands to that the English bolt under free
trade policy, will find ready sale here while the demand
for the American cloth will cease the mill fabricatng it
will close down. the workmen employed therein will be-
idle and the farmer selling produce to them will lose
customers If foreign manufacturers will pay their work.
men wage anything like that paid here our own manu-
facturers will take their chances with free trade
There is another solution Of the problem and that is
to pay workmen the foreign rate of wages Which is
better to educate the foreigners to higher Standards or
recommend lower standards for our peoplea

that the business Of q great nation
should be at the mercy Of small
group OF Senators, even three or four,
who have the physical endurance to
wear down the majority, no matter
how large.
The previous question as a privi'
legged motion was dropped from the
Senate rules in 1908. The Senate
then embraced but a handful Of men.
The business before 1t was negligible
in comparison with that which it now
must transact and we may readily
believe that, without the publicity that
now feeds the vanity Of men who
glory in manifesting their power on
such a stage at such o time, there
was absent deliberate purpose, now
so often exhibited, TO prevent action
by abuse Of the courtesy OF unlimited
debate. Surely 1t is within the capa.
city Of the Senate to devise some plan
of procedure which, providing for all

necessary to avert the passage OF Ill.
