PROTECTION OR REPl TATION?
Republicans in congress should decline to he stampeded by the ancient
bromides of anti-protectionists about "Chinese walls' and "prohibitive tar
iffs."
The truth is that owing to demoralized ndustrial and financial condi
tions in Europe. particularly the fall in exchange, no tariff will be protec
tive which Is not much higher than and that would have been necessary a
few years ago.
It :s the duty and obligation of the majority in congress to establish a
tariff on all articles of general American production equal to the difference
in labor cost at home and abroad, expressed in terms of American money.
Any tariff short of this, whether it be five percent or a thousand per cent.,
will be futile because non protective.
Enemies of the protective policy, representing not only the doctrinaire
opposition to protection in theory but certa.n merchandising and financial
Interest* which are willing to fatten on the ver\ corpse of American indus
try. have all too long delayed the fulfillment of the Republican platform
pi-»dge of a protective tariff. Meanwhile the blight of industrial paralysis
has deepened. The shelves of American stores are crowded with foreisrn
m»de goods, but the wheels in American factories are idle, and will remain
idie ur.til something is done to stop me .nunda ion of the American mar
ket with foreign commodities.
There are those who parrot the old free trade phrases about vtatever
protective duty is imposed being aildi d to the price. That sophistry has
boen thoroughly discredited by the events of the past few years. Ohing
the Importers and foreign producers control of the American market dees
not mean that the American consumer will be enabled to buy cheaply. It
merely means that the importer will sufficiently undersell the Americi.a
producer to put him out of business, elimmat.ng domestic competition and
making the purchasers of this country permanently the victims of alien ex
ploitation.
No man in or out of congress who believes that American industry
should not be protected from uut'air competition with alien production bas
ed upon starvation wages and a standard of living that could be established
here only through the v^rv destruction ot our civilization, is either a good
Republican or a sound American.
Unless the tariff is high enough to equalize production costs, almost en
tirely labor costs, at home aud abroad it is no a protective tariff I'nless a
protective tariff be adopted American industry is doomed to such further
set backs in 1922 that the army of unemployed will grow rather than di
minish. If such a situation be brought about thru a betrayal, by alleged
Republicans, of the cause of protection, t e consequence will not merely
L-' Republican defeat, but what is far worse than that. Republican disgrace
thru repudiation of pledges and the abat.donment ot a policy that has bean
Republican.

Great Britain was one of those to hear tlie brunt of the battle in the
world war, and she now appears 10 be bearing the brum of competition
with her erstwhile enemy, Germany. The London Times recently publish
ed son.e statistics indicative of the tremendous growth of competition in
the domestic market of Herman goods, t.ie figures covering the three
months July. August and September. These figures will explain why Eng
land hustled through the so-called "safe-guarding of industries" act. which
became effective October 1, and tnarke her returnd to the protective policy
after three-quarters of a century of free trade. That act carries a gener
al rate of 33 1-3% on imports. The Times' figures will also he interesting
to American producer^ as indicating a few of the lines :n which German
competition may be looked for—tempered by protection, vicious without it.
Germany exported to the I'nited Kingdom in July 43S.000 gas mantles,
and in September 70.243.000; silk manufactures, 710 and 1.98S cwt. for
the two months respectively: wollen tnanutacturers, 100 and 246 cwt.; cot
ton manufacturers. 776 and 1,284 cwt , jute fabrics, 2.9S2 and 4.126 cwt.;
rubber shoes. 110 and 1.0S6 cwt . wooden window frames, 794 and 2.010
cwt . paper and manufactures of. 10.742 and 4>.91S cwt . electric insulat
ors, 2.>42 and 7,592 cwt ; aluminum manufactures, 590 and 1,294.; print
ing machinery, 392 and 1.004 cwt. Large increases were also recorded in
lead, zinc, tin, copper and brass manufactures and many otuer commodi
ties.
"It is not merely the loss of the German market that is depressing
trade and causing unemployment here." says the Times, but "a great part
of the stagnation is due to the flood of German goods sold here and in
other markets abroad at prices with which competition is impossible."
Great Britain, beguiled by Cobden's propaganda, adopted a free trade
policy in 1S64 with a view to encouraging other manufacturing nations to
do likewise. Improved machinery and low production costs ?iad placed her
in a position to compete successfully with any country in the world, she
thought, and it was to her interest to open foreign markets. Cobdenism
for a lime succeeded in Germany, but in 1S97 Bismark effected the restor
ation of the protective policy in Germany, and from that time until the out
break of the world war the Germans became the bitterest and most success
ful competitors of the British, not only throughout the world, but In Eng
land's home territory. The competition which England endured in the
course of tl.e ;hree months above mentioned came about despite the fact
that under the provisions of the Versailles treaty German exporters had to
pay 26 percent export duty on goods leaving Germany, the proceeds being
applied to reparations.
Just what the result has been since the "safeguarding of Industries"
act became effective in Great Britain, no figures have yet T>een received to
indicate. But if that act has cut down the British market for German
goods, the effect must be to deflect them to this country in increasing vol
ume. and only adequate protection of the American market will prevent ns
from experiencing German competition as great, If not (.Teater than that
which England has experienced.

This is a little lay sermon to you, young man, or you, young lady. If
you are soon to get out in life to make your own way in the world, don't
make the mistake of thinking the world has a welcome for you unless you
can do something particularly well. Without training you will be out of
luck. The cities and towns are filled with mediocre men and women who
never learned to do something well. British Columbia has thousands of
them—failures.
Some girls imagine a happy, ideal marriage will come along to simplify
things and render training unnecessary. \\e hope it will turn out that way.
hut it seldom does. Learn to cook and keep house, anyway. Tou owe at
least that much to him and to the kiddies that come. But don't be too *ure
about the ideal marriage. They are scarce at best. Frohably you will have
to earn your own living. Learn to spell perfectly. Many g rls in the cities
are constantly getting "fired" and hired snd "fired" again because the
weary employer has no time to fool with getting the same letters written
over half a doien times. And the same thine with anything else you learr
to do for your keep. Make sure you know it well.
And you. young man—learn a tradi' or some particolai method of earn
ing a living, no matter what it honestly is. Without a trade you mill soon
drift into the workless ranks in town or city. Vancouver, Victoria.—all
over this province of ours—there are thousands of human misfits, human
weeds, effigies of mankind, wastrels, wrecks, d>smal failures—the fellows
who never troubled to learn something when they had the chance Remem
ber. you cannot "get by" without know ig how to do something well The
world is exacting ar.d has no place for the untrained. Get busy now while
this idea is now in your m.nd. and learn something well-—Prince Rupert '
