By FREDERIC J. HASKIN. (Copyright 1908 by Frcderlo J. Haskin.) Washington, March 20. No great pol icy of any government ever had a more splendid argumentative foundation than was laid for the protection policy by Alexander Hamilton. His "Report on Manufactures," prepared while he was secretary of the treasury. Is the gran ary from which all Drotectlon uoeakera and writers have secured their funda mental arguments. Although each of these speakers and writers has (striven ,Jo add some new thought to the subject, or to restate an old one in a more ten lag way, those Btudents who consider it viiu uio imptuiuu cairn or me niswr ian, rather than the battle-flush bias of the politician, regard the Hamilton re port as covering every detail of the fun damentals of the doctrine of protec tion. How this rerjort came to be written is an interesting story. Congress was not satisfied with the condition .of manufactures In the nation, and in Jan nary, 1790, passed a resolution calling upon the secretary of the treasury for a aeiaueo statement concerning tnem, to- "The girls who are moat likely to go roiiK are those who come from a con vent or boarding school into life wtth- Truth never people can- get out knowing its dangers. hurt anybody and if oeonl harm" from-a play it must be: in them selves. I have watched the girls in' my profession closely. For every lx who are tempted by the automobiles. flowers and suppers showered upon them by a certain class of men, there are anpther six who are content with a glass of 'milk and a crust of bread In a nail bedroom, and refuse to be misled. There's something inside them which prevents It. That's all the difference." One or the subjects tnat Mr. tfeiasco is turning over in his mind as matter for a future play is the fate of an American fflrl married to a Japanese who returns home and marries one of his fellow countrywomen. It will be a sort or inverted Maaam uiieniy. Talking of it, he said: l studied tne Japanese question in San Francisco deeply as a source of ma terial for playa. The wnoie crux or it Is the school question. The Callfor n tans, are not afraid of being ousted by the Japanese laborer, but their blood boils at the thought of a Japanese man being accorded tha right to alt baalda, a little American gin in school "Think of how Mr. Roosevelt V would bava felt If one of hla daughters had coma home from tha public aohool and begun to quote the opinions or .in Lunir Chinir. who aat next her an1 made up to her. -.

He spent nearly two years in the prep flratlon of the statement. When he submitted It to congress he gave to the woria tne Dime or protection, .f riend and foe of that doctrine alike admit that Hamilton stated the case in the most favorable light possible. Demolishes Enemy's Theory. The plan of his report Is very sim ple. First he states the case against protection as clearly and concisely as any one could. Then he turns the guns of his argument upon the structure thus reared, and razes it to the complete sat isfaction of all protectionists. Then he proceeds to rear his own edifice of pro tection in Its stead, and he uses every available piece of fact-timber to the best advantage. He gets right down to the very fundamentals. And with re markable fidelity the protectionists ever since nave siuck to tne tsmie ne gave tnem. or course thev have some heret lea who refuse to accept his statement that the tariff duty is one of the ingre- 'dienta which enters Into the cost or for elgn goods to the consumer, but other t a Manufactures, than dox, as hat every protectionist measured oy tne Keiwrt is ortho' on r V 1 But thU advocates of a revenue tariff do not construe the Hamilton report as it is now interpreted by their oDDonents. In the first place, they assert that Its arguments are wen made, out not wen taken. They say that even Hamilton never had any visions of protection be ing carried as far as It has been. like wise, they insist that it did not repre sent the views of the nation. Dr. Henry C. Adams says it falls to prove that either Hamilton or congress were the high protectionists they are, represented as ocing. Tariff Bate Increased. At the beginning of the second ses sion of the first congress Hamilton, as secretary of the treasury, submitted his estimates for the year. These called for nearly four times as much money for interest as Was required for the mainte nance of the government. The estimates called for $600,000 for expenses, and 12,239,000 for meeting the interest on the domestic and foreign debt. Hamil ton recommended an internal revenue tax on spirits, liquors, wines, etc.. In order to swell the revenue. But con gress was not willing, and this proposi tion waa overwhelmingly defeated. Then the bill to increase the tariff I'Htes was taken up. debated, passed and signed by the president, all within 60 days. Considering the fact that parlia mentary procedure waa clumsy and un-1 wieldy In those days, this is almost record tlma for the Dassaee of a tariff ; law. l.ven thla rneaaure proved to be a makeshift. Just as the failure of the utireme court to unliold the Income tax law Is held to have been responsible for the collapse of the Wilson tariff, so the Tiiuure or congress to provide ror an Internal re-enue tax to accompany the tariff act of 1780 brought about a def icit in the revenues, and a third session of the first congress came to the reacue with an Internal revenue tax on spirits. And Then Increased Again. j Again In 1792 th government needed: more money to defend the frontiers, the! expenditure exctng the revenues by more than $600,000. Congrpsa once more (..lied on Secretary Hamilton for a plan 1v which to raise more money. During t.ic debate on the resolution one mem ber said he opposed the manner of call ing on cabinet officers for information, that not even the English parliament sk "so nbnequioua to ministers as some gftitlmen ara to our aecrctarlps." But the secretary reported, estimating that Hie net amount necessarv to be raised world be fSZX.nan and that it could be set-lire,) by increasing the tariff rate. This waa carried hn the matter came up for action. There waa new tariff I'-eislstlon again in 17S. Between that time and 11C there were tt changes In te tariff.

Authorities very generally agree that whatever tha intentions of congress wer in the premises, the tariff acts from 179 to 1816 were not protective. and many insist tnat those oeiore us were not They all admit that protec tion did not gain any headway in these two decades. This is largely attributed to the lack of an organized campaign In its behalf. The political parties had changed front completely on the tariff issue. At the outset It was the Federal ists who favored, protection. Then came the Republicans to favor it, with Massa chusetts and other centers opposed.

All of the tariff acta before 1816 were largely makeshifts, intended to meet the exigencies of: the day, and none of the recognized authorities on the . subjec t regard them aa having been framed with any fixed policy in view. But when the whole question was taken up thait year there waa na financial con dition' thati rendered hasty action neces sary, so that a tariff bill expressing the Ideas of the day could be framed. It required thirty-nine daya for the meas ure to run th legislative gamut from Introduction In the house to approval by the president During the considera tion of this tariff bill the manufactur ers appeared In the interest or protee tlve duties. These men were the fore runners of the great army of lobbyists who have swarmed around the cajpitol rrom mat aay xo mis. Daniel Webster and Henry Clay took conspicuous parts in the debate on this hill, showing- some of the abilitv which afterward made them famous. During the voting on amendments more than three-fourths of the members voted for a protective duty on one article or an other, yet on the final count practically all the higher duties were cut out of the bill. The influence of Hamilton and his "Report on Manufactures" was in eclipse. Heppner Gazette: An orphan lamb weighing 170 ... pounds., dressed, an even 100 pounds.
