THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JTTL.Y 6, 1909. GULL TO BUTTLE FOR FREE TRADE Enemies of Protection Ask All Who Believe With Them to Speak. EVILS OF PRESENT SYSTEM Frre Traders Make Strong Indict ment of Present Tariff System as Enriching Few, Breeding Poverty and . Panics. NEW YORK. July 5. Victory for the tandpat protectionists in the tariff dis cussion In Congress and the acceptance of the protection -theory by a large fac tion of the Democratic party has aroused believers In free trade to activity. A call for the organization of free traders has been Issued by the following: men, who ask that names and addresses, of free traders be sent to any of them with out delay: John Bigelow, 21 Oramorcy Park, New York. Charles Francis Adams, India House, Boston. James H. Dlllard, 671 Audubon street. New Orleans. Louis R Ehrieh. 50 West Seventy-seventh street, New Vork.

Conn. Charles D. Williams. 44 Campau building, Detroit, Mich. Indictment of Protection. The address is as follows: The apparent acceptance In some degree of the ao-called protective policy by the present Congressional representative of both the political parties the Republicans championing protection with incidental revenue, and the Democrats urging revenue with Incidental protection might beget the Impression that our Nation contains no men who believe in the absolute and uncondi tioned freedom of trade between the peoples of the earth. The men proclaiming themselves as free traders contend: 1. That protection erects artificial bar riers between nations, preventing that nat ural and healthful Interchange of products which makes for Increased comfort, for peace and tor the solidarity of mankind. 2. That protection. by reducing the quantity of Incoming foreign goods, reduces the buying power represented by such goods, and consequently subtracts from the demand for merchandise and labor which would Inevitably be fostered by the un restricted freedom of exchange. Degrades Labor, Besets Trusts. S. That protection, in addition to less ening the demand for labor, and to a con sequent reduction of wages, greatly in creases the cost of necessaries, thus "be coming a powerful agent in dragging down the condition of our wage-earning classes. 4. Thst protection has not only become the mother of trusts, but that, by stifling foreign competition. It-has granted them a license to prey upon the community. 5. That protection encourages extrava gance in National -expenditures, which, as ihey are paid by taxes on what the people consume, are In the main extracted from the pockets of the wage-earning and sal aried classes. . That protection, by Its methods of In direction, cunningly disguises the incidence of tsxatlnn. and thus weakens that desir able Interest In legislation and In govern ment policies which direct taxation tends to develop. Source of Corruption. T. Thst protection, which Is In effect a process of class-enrichment by legislation, 's a festering source of political corrup tion. 8. That protection, by engendering spe cial over-production due to excesspve profits and widespread under-consumptlon due to excessive prices, contributes to producing those, panics which cause so much human waste and misery. ft. That protection. Ijy conferring on favored classes the right to tax their fel low cltlxens, and by the consequent unequal and inequitable distribution of the bound less wealth which is created by the energy and natural resources possessed by the American people, has generated resentments which express themselves by dangerous methods Intended to wrench from Its pos sessors a portion of the wealth which has been un.1ustly spproprlated. in. That protection, by the swollen for tunes which It heaps up for Its beneficiaries, and by the concentrated, selfish class-Interests which It fosters, becomes so powerful through their ability and .readiness to de bauch public opinion by the expenditure of money, that It can never be dislodged until the great body of our people are brought to realize Its wasteful, sinful, anti-social character. Concurring In such views, the signers call on all fellow-cltlzena who are In agreement therewith, to Join them in an effort to consolidate the free-trade senti ment of the Nation. Such a consolidation will reveal the true economic opinion of at east a portion of our citizens, and will facilitate co-operation with the free-traders ef other nations which are also suffering from the evils of a protective policy.

SOLID PACIFIC PREDICTED Governor Gilchrist Says Whites of West Will Unite on Race Issue When Asiatics , Become Menace Like X'egroes. NEW YORK, JuJy B. With its usual enthusiasm the Society of Tammany held its annual Fourth of July celebration to day, a throng of members filling the elab orately decorated chamber in Tammany Hall and cheering the patriotic senti ments of the speakers. Governor Albert W. Gilchrist, of Florida, was the orator of the day. In delivering the "long talk" he awoke bygone echoes of the historic edifice and aroused the enthusiasm of his audience with his pronouncement of renewed faith in traditional Democratic doctrine. Mr. Gilchrist devoted consid erable attention to the race problem, de fending the South's course with regard to the negro and alluding pointedly to the newer race questions which are agitating other sections of the country. Williams Is Heard From. The address of welcome was delivered by Grand Sachem Daniel F. Cohalan. Nu merous letters and telegrams from promi nent Democrats regretting their inabil ity to be present were read. John Sharp Williams, Senator-elect from Mississippi, wrote: "If there, I would choose as a subject: 'When a Democrat is Not a Democrat; Some Recent Illustrations.' " Judson Harmon. Governor of Ohio, wrote: "Freedom from the impositions of a foreign government is not worth what it cost If our Government Is permitted to Impose on all the people by increasing the cost of living in order to swell the profits of the few." Race Issue on Pacific. Mr. Gilchrist's speech was a denuncia tion of Republican protection policy, a charge that the Republicans threatened to ruin the country if the privileges of the protected industries were cut down, that Republican policy was centralizing wealth by legalized robbery. He predicted that the North would turn against po litical rights for negroes and Asiatics when they became aggressive. Taking up President Taft's plea for greater division of political sentiment and affiliation in the South. Governor Gil christ said: "Instead of discussing the race ques tion as It exists in the South, I will In vite your attention to it as it now exists in neutral territory the Far Western states. Suppose this element Chinese and Japanese would, as the negroes In the South, vote practically as a unit. Don't you suppose that the white people of California would combine so as to pre serve their very civilization? Suppose this condition existed throughout the en tire Pacific Coast and the states border ing thereon don't you suppose that Mr. Taft would have his hands full in show ing these people that 'there shall be more than one political creed to be subscribed to and supported?' "Don't you suppose you would hear of the 'Solid Pacific?" I know of no greater injury which could befall the Southern States than for the white people to di vide and thereby leave the result to the arbitrament of the negro." DEATH NOT SOLVED MOTHER DENIED HER CHILD Court Rules Foster-Parents, "Who Reared Babe, Hare Claim. NEW YORK, July 8. Mrs. Matilda Woolsey came East from Denver a few days ago to claim the little 4-year-old son given away by her husband while she was in the Middletown asylum, tem porarily deranged, when the baby was born. She had been told by Supreme Court Justice Morschauser that the claim of the foster-parents was now greater than hers her own flesh and blood not hers, but another woman's. Mrs. Wool sey, who is a pretty flaxen-haired woman of 30 years, went down on her knees before the the Justice and pleaded with him to give back her boy. While the bereaved woman plead ed tears filled the Judge's eyes and It was with difficulty that h could control his ' voice to render the decision that blasted her hopes. With little Clinton were his foster-parents, who at the first attempt to take him from them, fought for the child as though he were their own. On the. witness-stand Mrs. Woolsey said that when she was released cured from the asylum she was told that her little boy had died.

STORY OF SHOOTING TOLD Men In Xext Room When Woman Met Death Declare Affair "Was Accident, Though Fatal Shot Wa-s Not Observed. SAN FRANCISCO. July 5. Although an entirely new aspect was, given to the shooting of Mrs. Lorena de la Montanya, divorced wife of Marquis James de la Montanya, last Friday night by the story of C. O. Whlttemore, of Los Angeles, to day, and by the corroborative statements of R. G. Hanford and Mrs. W. H. Pattort, of this city, the other two persons in the room at the time, there is still some doubt as to whether the shooting was with suicidal intent or accidental. Mr. Hanford fully corroborated Mr. Whittemore's statements today, but said that he believed Mrs. Montanya killed herself. He said that he was seated across the room, looking out of a win dow, when the report of the weapon sounded, and looked around only In time to see the stricken woman fall. With Mr. Whlttemore he went to Coroner Leland within a few hours and gave his story of the affair. Leland sailed with the naval reserves aboard the Alert on Sat urday, and is not expected to return until x uesciay. In giving his version of the case Mr. Whlttemore said: Friend's Version of Tragedy. "I had known Mrs. Montanya about a year and had frequently advised her about legal matters. On the morn lng of the tragedy she invited me to come to dinner at her house and meet some friends. After the dinner we were sitting in the dining-room and a connecting parlor. There were present R. G. Hanford, a San Francisco mining man. and Mrs. W. H. Patton, also of San Francisco. "Mr. Hanford was showing Mrs. Mon tanya how to mix and shake a particular brand or cocktail. "Before he began he took a pistol out of his pocket and laid it on the table. While our attention was diverted Mrs. Montanya picked up the pistol and I presume started to examine it. None Saw Shot. "We were all startled by a sudden re port. Mrs. Montanya fell from the settee to the floor and the pistol rolled to the carpet. The bullet entered her temple. We quickly called for a physician and tiiiriw was no response i went to. my hotl trt Vi ) i .1 tr ,J . i . . i . i - - n i ummi . yi i nnu inert I found that he had already responded, and I did not' return to the scene of the affair.
