PROTECTIVE TARIFF


Republican editors may well find
satisfaction and pride in the fact
that President Wilson has finally
given his express recognition to ar
guments they have advanced for
years in the face of democratic OPP
position. In his recent message to
congress, the president said, touch
ing on the tariff:
"The prejudices and passions en-
gendered by decades of controversy
between the two schools of political
and economic thought-the one be-
levers in protection of American in
dustries, the other believers in tar
iff for revenue only-must be sub
ordinated to the single consideration
of public interest in the light of ut
terly changed conditions. Before
the war America was heavily the
debtor of the rest of the world and
the interest payments she had to
make to foreign countries on Amer
lean securities held abroad, the ex-
penditures Of American travellers
abroad and the ocean freight charg-
es she had to pay to others, about
balanced the value Of her pre-war
balance Of trade
Those three advantages enjoyed
by other countries in their trade
with America we're set forth repeat
eddy by Republican editors in sup
port of a protectice tariff, while
President Wilson was still urging
his iff-for-revenue-only pro-
gram. He ignored those three ad-
ua 20 oao inuad hy nthar nnnpt Yio
as he still fails to mention two other
important drains upon American
finances-insurance premiums paid
to foreign marine insurance COM
panies, and the sums of money sent
to their European or Asiatic fam
lilies by foreigners earning wages in
this country, or taken home with
them when they returned to their
native lands. Because of those five
heavy expenditures by America, 1t
was absolutely necessary that Am
erican industry have the protection
of an import duty to prevent our al
so sending abroad money to pay for
goods made in foreign factories by
foreign labor. But President Will
son could not see that necessity in
1912 when he was a candidate for
the presidency, in 1913 when he
helped frame the democratic free
trade law, nor in 1914 when AM
erican mills were closing and i'm
ports from Europe and Asia were
turning the balance of trade against
us. It took him six years to ac-
cept facts which Republican editors
had been laying before their read
ers whenever the tariff question
was under consideration.
In his statement quoted above,
President Wilson virtually acknowl-
edges the unsoundness of his tariff
views before the war. He is GER
tainly right in now agreeing with
the Republican assertion that be-
fore the war money sent abroad by
Americans to pay expenses of tour
lists, interest and dividends, ship
ping charges, etc., "about balanced
her pre-war favorable balance of
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1919-12-18

trade" And that balance of trade
was made possible only by a protec-
tive tariff. The records of the
Wilson administration prove it be-
yond question. In the month of
October, 1913, our favorable balance
of trade amounted to $13S,000, 600.
The devastating work of the Wilson
Underwood tariff law is shown in
the rapidly diminishing balances for
succeeding months. In November
the balance was only $4,000, 900;
in December, $4,000, 900; in Janu-
airy, 1914, practically the same: in
February, $26,0O0,000; in March,
$4,700,000; and in April the bal
ance was against us to the extent of
Sill, 100000.
When our payments to foreign
countries about equaled our favor
able trade balance, President Wilson
helped enact a law which wiped out
that favorable balance and forced
America to draw upon her capital re-
sources to pay debts to Europe.
And he still has the audacity to pose
as an economic advisor Of the ma
tion,"

COURT DECISION RUINS
ALL CHANCES FOR W

The war time prohibition act
was held constitutional by the SUI
preme court at Washington Monday.
Federal court DEGREES in New
York dismissing proceedings
brought to compel internal revenue
officials to permit the withdrawal
from bond of all whisky for bever-
age purposes were affirmed.
In deciding the question the SUI
preme court also dissolved the in
functions restraining revenue Off
Gals from interfering with the remov-
al from bond of about 75,000,000
gallons of whisky valued at approx
mately $4,000 held by Kentucky
distilleries and warehouse COM
panies in Louisville.
The judgment of the court in the
Kentucy and New York cases was
unanimous.
In rendering it's opinion the court
confined itself entirely to the war
time prohibition act and took no ac-
ton on the so-called beer cases
which attacked the constitutionality
of the prohibition enforcement act.
Constitutionality of the war time
prohibition and the prohibition
enforcement law was attacked in the
supreme court in three different APP
peals. One came from Kentucky
where the former statute was held
invalid. Two came from New
York. where both acts were sus-
tanned.
The signing of the armistice did
not abrogate the war powers of
congress, Associate Justice Brandeis
said, in reading the decision of the
court. He said the government
did not appropriate liquor by stop
ping its domestic sale as the way
was left open for exporting it.
Justice Brandeis also called at
tention to the continued control of
the railroads and presumption of
powers by the government relative
to sugar and coal under war acts to
show that the government continues
to exercise various war powers de-
spite the signing of the armistice.
Justice Brandeis said there was
no basis for the contention that,
President Wilson's statement in his
message vetoing the prohibition en-
forcement act that the war had
come to an end, was a proclamation
announcing the termination of the
war.
Thus vanished the hope of many
for wet holiday time. While
no decision was rendered on the
cases involving the constitutionality
of the Volstead law, the prohibition
enforcement act framed to carry out
the intent of the prohibition amend
ment to the constitution, Justice
Brandeis, did, however, hold that
the prohibition amendment was
binding on the states as well as the
federal government.
The decision added one of the
final mile stones to the long fight
to make the country dry.
The court will render opinions
again next Monday at which time
the beer cases are expected to be
decided after which the court win
recess until January 5th.

Upon the COURTS decision on the
prohibition enforcement law, will de-
pend whether the federal govern
ment has at hand any legal means for
making the amendment effective.
The constitutionality of wartime
prohibition, however, the drys are
confident, will keep the country dry
until the amendment is carried into
effect by law of it's own.

Tokyo, March 20. (By Mail. -
Americans just arrived from Seoul
have brought copies Of a manifesto
published there March i, proclaim
ing the independence of the former
kingdom of Korea. Publication of
the manifesto, which expresses great
bitterness against Japan. has been
prohibited to the newspapers in To-
kyo by the home office authorities.
This proclamation urged Japan to
grant independence to Korea for
Japan's sake as we'll as for that Of
Korea and as step to make certain
the peace of the Orient. Such move
on the part Of Japan. says the mani
festo, would forever remove the
smouldering doubts of the 100000
600 people in China and would show
Japan forth as the true "Protector
of the East"
The uprisings, in connection with
which the first manifesto was pub
lished in the former Korean capital,
have spread to all parts Of the penin-
sula, and the latest reports are that
they are still growing worse and
there is little hope for an early re-
storation of order.
The disturbances started in con-
nection with the preliminary cere-
monies of the funeral of the Grand
Prince vi, former Emperor of Korea,
who died January 21. Though little
reverence was shown the Grand
Prince while he lived, after his
death a rumor spread over the coun-
try which made him at once ma
tional hero. According to the story,
the aged prince did not die of apop-
lexy but of poison which he took in
order that his death might forestall
the wedding of his son to one of the
Imperial Princesses of Japan, for 1t
is a custom among the Koreans that
son may not marry for three years
after his fathers death. The Grand
Princes death occurred just four
days before the imperial wedding
was to take place in Tokyo, where
the bridegroom-to-be had already ar
rived with his suite.
Though the riots in Seoul and
elsewhere have been minimized by
the Minister of Communications, MIR.
Noda, who went to Korea to repre-
sent the japanese government at the
royal funeral, they have been serious
enough to lad TO several deaths at
various places and to numerous ar
rests. According to some of the To-
kyo papers. several American mis-

POISON STORY OF PRINCES
DEATH SIGNALLED RISING

sionaries have been arrested and are
under secret examination being sus-
pected Of having instigated the
Korean uprisings.
Japanese officials say that the
Korean riots were started by the
Chun-do Kyu cult (Teachings of
Heavenly Ways). whose adherents.
they say. have long been trying to
obtain independence from Japan.
Followers Of this cult are variously
reported to number from 100000
to 100000 Koreans.
The manifesto published in Seoul
called upon the people to refrain
from all violence, and a sort Of pas
sive resistance to Japanese authority
has marked all the demonstrations
Korean youths and girls are refusing
to attend the schools. and among the
arrests have been several students of
the Government Higher Girls
School. The Koreans are entirely
without arms. and American wit
nesses of the Seoul demonstrations
say that the crowds were not dan
gerous except when goaded TO vio-
lence ! -
The Koreans say, according to re-
ports, that the manifesto Of March l
will be followed by others. Thirty
three prominent men of Seoul signed
the proclamation, including members
Of the Chun-do hyu, Buddhists, Con-
fucianists, Protestants and Roman
Catholics. All Of these who could be
found were at once arrested along
with other Korean leaders. . r..
An American business man who
has just returned to Tokyo from
Seoul gave the following description
Of the imperial funeral: ~
1.-THE funeral OF the late Grand
Prince was a memorable sight, but
the most impressive thing about it
was the great crowds of Koreans
who thronged the city. We we're
told that there were at least 100000
Korean farmers in the city for the
day, all of whom had walked in,
some from great distances. 'ffs''L.
Il went over the road between
Seoul and kimkokri, where 1.-The
Grand Prince was buried. the day be-
fore the Koreans passed over it, and
I saw $4,000 Koreans all dressed in
white, from children of yearstIto
old men OF 10. rebuilding the road
along it's entire length Of thirty
miles. All these worked as lyolnn-
teers, TO show their last respect for
their former emperor. 1t was great
tribute to his memory.
