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

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-

are anpther six who are content with

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:

father with suggestions for their etlmu
ation. With a thoroughness never sur
passed, and seldom equaled, Hamilton
proceeded to collect all available data.
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-

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

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
