Jul> 19. 1911 WEST VIRGINIA AND THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF. ~ Grsdually It becomes more apparent that *he tariff will be the leading :»aue of the coming campaign The itemorratlc platform boldly declares lor a tariff for revenue only. It affirms that the only constitutional ground tor the imposition of a tariff is for purposes of revenue. The Republican platform Is equally as emphatic In Its declaration for the principle of pro tection Between *he two what will be the decision of the p-dple of West Virginia " No other State in the I'nton Is more dependent upon the principle of protection as enacted Into legislation by successive Republican Con gresses than the State of West Virginia. Nine out of every ten dollars •bat are brought into ihia State by the rale of our products ore brought by protected tndus’rics Our coal enjoys a protective tariff duly of 45c a ton. Wipe out *hat duty or seriously lower if, and West Virginia coal will lose the seaboard mar ket. which takes more than half of all the coal produced in this State. West Virginia wool enjoys a protective tariff duty of 11c per pound. The cost of growing merino wool fn West Virginia and Eastern Ohio is from 19c to 22c a pound. For many years past the average price in the market of merino wool has been from 25c to 27c per pound. Take the tariff duty off the merino wool and the merino wool industry in West Virginia and Eastern Ohio will be destroyed. Pottery products are now protected by a tariff duty of 45 per cent, to 6fl per cent. Even with the stimulus of Ihis protective rate, the pottery In dustry In the Vnlrrd States languished until the last Iwo years. Exces sive Importations of foreign potteries were made possible by the valuation rulings established during the last year of the Roosevelt administration, end not until those valuation rulings were revised and corrected by the present administration did the pottery industry in the I’nited States begin to recover from excessive foreign competition. Every manufacturing potter In America and every working potter knows that the American pottery In dustry cannot stand a serious increase of foreign importations wiihout crip pling local manufactures or lowering wages West Virginia produces over |6.(H»0.brtO worth of lumber every year mmr»er is protected by a tariff duty of 12.00 per thousand The protective duty adds to the value of the lumber production In West Virginia, possibly $*500.00000 a year, and adds millions of dollars to the value of the standing lumber on the hi'lsldes and mountain sides of this State Take off that duty and the production of every saw tnlll and the value of every foot of standing lumber In the State will be lowered West Virginia produce* from fifteen to twenty million dollars worth of iron and steel every year. Iron and s'eel protective duties range from 20 per cent, to S'l per cent On the present basis of protection, iron and steel du'les are not high. They were reduced from 1*> per cent to 20 per cent in the Pavne Aldrich bill. Before the Senate committee such recognized authorities in the iror ard steel business as John A Topping, president of the Republic Iron * Steel Company: I V. Srnrt. president of the l.a Belle) Iron & S'eel Works; Charles M Schwab, president of the Bethlehem Iron & Steel Company, submitted fa-ts and figures showing that any material reduction in the mere important Iren and steel duties would practically cut all interior iron and steel makers out of the markets on the Atlantic cna«t, the Gulf coas- and the Pacific mast. Today Brt ish makers of sheet steel and tin piaie , an lay the producs down at Boston in competition with American sheet steel and tin plate makers. They can d"liver a* Sin Fran cisco cheaper than the American thpet steel and tin plate makers can de liver in our great cities, such as Boston. New York. Philadelphia. Charles ton. Savannah. MnbMe. New Orleans, Galveston Los Ange’es. San Franciam, Seattle, and all tbeir adjacent territory will be filled with British and Ger man iron and s'eel instead of American made iron and steel The prosperity of American Industries has been created under the pro tective system That system cannot be undermined or de*>ro>e,j without effecting a complete revolution In industrial conditions in 'he Pnited States West Virginia is. and ought to be, a stronghold of the protective tariff, and her voters ought to register an overwhelming majority for the one randi rta'e whose record, policy and party pledges insure a continuance of liberal protection.

"Mr Sloan was one of the few men who dared make what seemed at i he time a most reckless Investment of capital in the construction of the railroad." Mr Cox continued "The conditions were peculiar. The New York * Harlem Railroad, paralleling the Hudson Inland only twenty miles to the east In the average had been hullt from New York City to Chatham. N. Y . where connection wns made with thn Boston A- Albany. That provided convenient and fair ly quick communication between New York and Albany. On the olher hand, the Hudson river seemed to be the natural and permanent line for com merce to lake, at least for all the district bordering that river on both sides between New York and Albany "1 don't know who first suggested that a railroad be built along the banks of the Hudson to Albany. But I do know that when Mr Sloar. had decided to hack the project and he was asked where he expected the busi ness to come from, he replied: "'Oh. there will be plenty of passengers from New York as far north as Poughkeepsie, and from AThany as far south as Poughkeepsie.' " Then you don't expect to carry any freight?’ Mr. Sloan was asked. "'No. the boats will of course get nil that, except some that tho con signors want moved rapidly.' "So It was simply as a pnssenger railroad that Sam Slosn and a few others saw- opportunity for a fair return on the money invested in the billld irg of the Hudson River Ftal'road.
