VIEWS Of GREAT
STATESMAN
Andrew Jackson's Ideas of a
live Tariff,
COMMON SENSE THE REMEDY
Shows That There Ie Nothing That
Labor Buys That Under the Benefi
cent Influence of Our Protective
Tariff Cannot Be Bought Today For
Fewer Hours of Service Than Else
where. In n letter to L. H. Colman, of Vir
ginia, dated Washington City, April
2G, 1S24, replying to a question as to
Ills views of a protective tariff, Gen
eral Jackson said In part:
"There is too much labor employed
in agriculture. The chnnnels of labor
should be multiplied. Common sciibo
at once points out the remedy. Draw
from agriculture the super-abundant
labor, employ it in mechanism and
manufacture, thereby creating a homo
market for our breadstuffs, distribut
ing labor to a most profitable account,
and benefits to tho country will re
BUlt Take from agriculture G00.000
men, women and children, and you at
once create a homo market for more
breadstuffs than all Europe- now fur
nishes us."
This was General Jackson's Idea of
diversified industries that in tho
twentieth century has reached its per
fection, for labor now receives from
100 to GOO per cent more pay than is
received for similar servko in Eu
rope. There is nothing that labor buys
that under the benoflcent influence of
our protective tariff cannot bo bought
today for fewer hours of service than 1
anywhere else on this globe. If labor
would consent to live hero in tho
same way as in Europe, it could do
so for the same cost.
Sixteen staple articles, In Novem-1
ber, 1910, were found to be dearer in ,
France than in the United States. La-1
borers In the United States live bot-1
ter than the so-called middle classes
in Europe. A working man in the I
United States for tho proceeds of one
week's labor can buy a fashionably I
cut, well-tailored, all wool suit, which 1
could not be bought for two 'weeks' !
labor in Great Britain, for three
weeks' labor in France or Germany, '
or for five weeks' labor in southern I
Europe.
Effect of the Tariff.
The protective tariff, that Is now
blamed for the higher cost of living,
has more than worked out in this
generation the blessings for the coun-1
try that General Jackson's foresight
Indicated nearly a century ago. It has j
not only mado the home market the
uest In the world, but it has cheapened
to the consumer everything but food.
The better prices for foodstuffs that
General Jackson had in mind as so de
sirable have been achieved by tho
agriculturalist. Tho general did not
foresee that while a protective tariff
would enlarge tho market for agri
cultural products, It would within
twenty years lower tho cost of every
thing produced in factories, and at
the samo time increase the per hour
wage almost 40 per cent. (See the
July Report of Commerce and Labor.)
While the higher cost of living Is
world-wide, it is only tho American
wage earner who today Is able to earn
tho wages necessary to maintain the
higher standard of living for labor,
which exists nowhero outside of tho
United States. The average dally com
pensation hero Is from two to three
times as great as that of our severest
European competitors.
Foreign Wages,
As an example, tho average daily
compensation of railway employes of
all classes for tho year 1910 In the
United States was $2.23; In the United
Kingdom of Great Britain, ?1.05, and
in Prussia, 81 cents, showing that the
pay in the United States was more
than double that of Great Britain, and
almost three times that of Prussia;
and the pay of railway employes Is a
fair sample of the average difference
in all other occupations.
A recent report of tho English
Board of Trade on railway wages
showed that the average weekly pay
of engineers in tho United Kingdom
was $11.17, as against $25.80 in tho
United States. It is well within the
truth to estlmato In a broad and gen
eral way that whilo tho cost of a
much higher Btandard of living of tho
railway employes In tho United States
Is not 60 per cent higher than that of
tho corresponding employe in Great
Britain, his compensation avorages
more than twice as much.
TIIEODOItE JUSTICE.
The Best Way to Still Activity.
Tho country has enjoyed an unusual
wave of prosperity, reaching to every
village and hamlet. Tho very best
way to still activity is to elect a Dem
ocratic free trade congress. Past ex
perience should bo sufllclont to put
every bread winner on his guard
against the machinations of a party
that travels with freo trade as its chief
ally and leaves free soup in its wako.
A vote for tho fres trade ticket and
platform Is a vote for more Importfl,
less employment and lower wages.
UNDER TAFT'S
The tariff has been revised. Within
a year following passage of the Payne
bill wages were Increased nioro than
$500,000,000. Industry is operating at
high pressure, general business is pros
Ierous, and. there is a scarcity of labor
everywhere.
Two nets providing safety for rail
way employees and proper Inspection
of appliances have been passed.
Tho federal mining bureau for re
ducing the dangers to workmen baa
been established.
A children's bureau to mlnimizo In
fant mortality and reduco child em
ployment In factories has been or
ganized. Pensions for Union veterans of tho
wnr of the rebellion havo boon broad

White slavery has been outlawed
and checked.

Theso are among the achievements of three years of Taft. No other admin
istration within the samo brief limit has accomplished so many substantial'
benefits to the people. Why make a change, Involving widespread upheaval of'
business, when every physical and material condition is favorable? From Hur
risburg (Pa.) Telegram.
WHO WAS REPRESENTED?
Dr. Wilson Asks Question That May
Embarrass Democrats.
"Who," asks Woodrow Wilson, in his
speech of acceptance, "when you coma
down to the hard facta of the matter,
have been represented in recent years
when our tariff schedules were being
discussed and determined, not on tha
Moor of congress, for that Is not where
they have been determined, but In thu
committee rooms and conferences?"
Precisely. Who has? When the
Payne-Aldrieh bill was being framed
prolonged nnd open hearings were con.
ducted by tho ways and means com
mittee. Every one who had facts 01
arguments to present was given an op.
portunity to be heard. However, wher
Dr. Wilson's fellow Democrats under
took to revise the schedules in this
congress Oscar Underwood and his as
sociates barred the doors and out of nd
vices, the sources of which they hav6
never yet entirely disclosed, proceeded
to mako up the schedules In secret and
Jam them through tho house by gag
rules.
It would be Interesting could Dr. Wil
son secure from tho Democratic lead
ers an answer to his question. It was
not entirely thoughtful of him to pro
pound it.

gross! Its tariff planks in 1802 and
1012 are duplicates. Tho results wll(

CHASING A PHANTOM.
We are living in an ngo In which by
exaggeration of the defects of our pres
out condition, by false charges of re
sponsibility for it against Individuals
and classes, by holding up to tho fevff
ish imagination of tho less fortunate'
nnd the discontented the possibilities of
a millennium, a condition of popular
unrest hns been produced. New parties
are being formed, with tho proposed
purpose of satisfying this unrest by
promising a panacea. In so far as in
equality of condition can bo lessened
and equality of opportunity enn be pro
moted by Improvement of our educa
tional system, the betterment of the
laws to insure tho quick administra
tion of Justice and by tho prevention of
the acquisition of prlvllego without Just
compensation, In so far as the adop
tion of tho legislation above recited and
laws of a similar character may aid
the less fortunate in their strugglo with
tho hardships of life, all nre in sympa
thy with a continued effort to remedy
Injustice nnd to aid tho weak, nnd I
venture to say that thero Is no national
administration in which more real
steps of such progress havo been taken
than In tho present one. But In so far as
the propaganda for tho satisfaction of
unrest Involves the promise of n mil
lonnlum, a condition in which tho rich
are to bo mado reasonably poor and
tlie poor reasonably rich by law, we
are chasing a phantom; wo aro holding
out to thoso whoso unrest wo fear a
prospect and a dream, a vision of the
impossible. From President Tnft's
Speech of Acceptance.
