A SATISFIED
PROTECTIONIST
Mr. E. L. Witherspnon Corn
merits on Views of Manu?
facturers' Record
Dear Mltor:
I BOt? 0 Hipping of January 11th
printed In the Item from the Manu?
facturers1 Record h -aded "The Su?
preme Issue."
It is not clear to me why you print
this ptOee as favorable to the "Magni
ftcently financed movement" or Pro
teetlon, the side that the Record take .
PI nee anderetand by tiiis. however,
thai i do not queetl< n your Intel)!
?once,
The Record gives highly inellectual
people credit for the movement and
editor certainly expresses my views
on protection in a very highly intelli?
gent way.
If the system referred to was adopt?
ed, after a few year* you could hire
a negro laborer in this country for
1ft eents a day and n highly skilled
one for not over 2ft cents. Tenehr-t*
und preaehem would tret lio.OO per
month and all of our gold would flow
Into other countries mal:ing our cur?
rency worthless and would be destroy?
ed. Pennies, silver limes, cpiarters.
half dollars and dollars would be ade?
quate to our needs jn r medium of
Piehangc and should Japan after
twenty or thirty years have designs
against us Use could start late one
evening and have us whipped before
breakfast the next morning. Above
might be a little overdrawn.
We have a great many people fol?
lowers of Adam Smith who think
that unrestricted free trade would
tend to the greatest efficiency but free
treats is only a beautiful theory which
ought to be fully appreciated nt this
time when we know that out West
men with prent efficiency could raise
a Harret of apples where it was hnrd
work for us to got 10 rents to buy one |
bat what good was this efficiency
when the medium of exchange was
j broken down and what does it profit
the West in all their efficiency In rais?
ing corn when the medium of ex?
change is broken down.
We In the South are the most effi?
cient people In the world in making
cotton but what does our efficiency
profit us when the medium oi' ex?
change is broken down? what eau
efficiency profit in a community in
time of war? Protection is hlcrhly
beneficial if only used as an expedi?
ent to encourage self .support Every
four hundred square miles of terri?
tory should be as near self sustain?
ing ast human) possibility can make It.
Monopoly cannot exist in America
except where It Is highly ben fi< 1 ?1
to Society or where It requires the
assembling of thousands of men to
manufacture an article on a highly
efficient and economical basis like the
Ford car. Which ?>f course would have
to take In a large territory.
No. we most assuredly d<> not wish
Europe to pay IM what she OWCS US
until we get Into the same boat they
were in and we do not care if time
of pnyment Is put off for n thousand
years.
(Hohe trotters from America to
Europe should be supplied with let?
ters of credit that would be cr? dited
to the account of Europe which no
doubt would pay the Interest on the
Investment. If any p ivate Individ?
ual American Is n creditor of Europe.
made so on account of supplying
goods for the war it should be assum?
ed by <">ur government and paid by us
if necessary.
I am a Protectionist In everv sence
of the word and can answer every BTg
umeal i have ever heard against it t
my entire sat'sfaetlon.
I have some good frleudi followers
of Adam Smith who bell? ve lit unre?
stricted free trade, yet they call them?
selves republicans, hence it seems to
me that I ought to have a right to
call myself n democrat M Opp S?d to
Ltncolalam and Republican Hypo
crncy. yt I am proud to call mvteli
a Protectionists in ever;- sense of the
v. ord.
