Show TAKE YOUR POPGUN AWAY. Last evening the Enquirer again tried to prove that protection don't protect. If its figures are correct, then protection is a failure and should be knocked in the head for that reason. It says ' that for the ten months ending April 30th there has been an increar.e in our imports im-ports over smilar periods in the past of $107,394,724. Pray, what is your theory of protection any how? Wasn't the Moi4 in ley law passed to keep out foreign for-eign goods? Hav'nt you been trying to make your readers believe for the past ten davs (that is, ever since you became a "life long Republican") that this samehiffh tariff keeps competitors out? Certainly, but what now? Your own figures flatly contradict this great theory. Friend, don't hold your popgun pop-gun so close to your own Republican-nose; Republican-nose; in other words, don't write editorials on this tariff question, but carefully copv them ready made from the New York l'resis or some other good Republican paper, else your party must muzzle you. |
