To talk of a tariff commission to be appointed by the President .is to tenporize and evade for campaign purposes.. To place the tariff on one. item at a time is simply to juggle and speculate as to how long we can escape the inevitable. The one remedy. and the only one. is to place upon our- statute- books a tariff law not founded upon free trade. not "for revenue only." but for. the specific purpose of protectionto protect American labor and American industry from. the deadly competition of the foreigner To keep out of America the products of foreign pauper labor is as important as to keep out pauper labor itself. Foreign pauper labor admitted into this country would be no more deadly to- American labor than the products of the pauper labor produced in foreign soil and admitted free to American markets. This great. duty of enacting a protective tariff for the protection and the safety of America can. hardly be left to the party that has always worshipped! at the shrine of free trade and daily pays its adoration to the discredited fetish of " revenue only." and that for threequarters of a century has mumbled that protection is unconstitutiond. The safety and tile hope of the American people lies in the fact that eacl day makes more certain that on the 4th of March. 1917. the party of protection. preparedness. patriotism. and prosperity wilt again enter into power.
