and man in the Dominion, will be
ready when the bands begin to play '
for the opening of -the British Em
pire Exhibition at Wembley, on St.
George's Day, April 23. ; J
The' men arranging Canada's
display of herself at Wembley
have worked with a gingery speed
alien to the mother country, 'and
expect to prove their Anglo-Amer
ican: aptitude, for getting - things
done by opening their show a week
ahead of the Exhibition as a whole.
Many of the. other dominions
and outposts of empire which
make up the melange of east; and
west that is rising from the mud
at Wembley, may be a Jittle be
hind schedule, but not Canada.

yards away from it at either end

Half of the Canadian 'exhibit is

' One of the

The Repub

believes in a
tariff whieh

nrhioh - In Ai-
' dltion protects Americarf industry-
from .foreign competition.
The Democratic party ,1a a free

A tariff for protection has been
lenown as the American policy
sinee the days of Henry Clay.
Thi operation and the results of
a tariff ior protection fully justi-

three .exceptions, and those of
hnrt rfnrtion. the United States
has had the benefits of a protec
tive tariff slnee the KepuDUcan
'. party eame Into control of the
government over 60 years ago. ;
' During that period has occurred
. fhA ; Industrial develonment of
thA ITnited States. Since the Civil
war. America . has becomo the
greatest Industrial producing na
tion in the . world.
Wit-s tle development of her
Industries and their , prosperity
came, inevitably, the develop
ment of transportation, agricul
ture and business, for the prod
ucts of the 'factories, had to be
moved, the wage earners bad to
be fed, and the goods produced
had to be sold.
It is not an exaggeration to
state that Americas position as
the foremost, most prosperous na
tion of the world is due, in a
very -large -measure, to the pol
icy and operation of a protective
tariff during the last 60 years.
' The greatest beneficiary . of
such a tariff is the wage earner.
America has a higher level of
wages and a higher standard of
living than any other nation in
the world. This is made possible
by the policy of protection.
The fact that wages are higher
today than at any previous time
in the history of American 4ndus
try is mainly due to the Fofcdney
McCumber tariff. Not only has
that tariff protected the Ameri
can wage earner, but it has pro
vided more revenue than any
other American tariff ever enact
ed. Its operations have refuted
every charge made against it
during the period of Its debate,
and have given another, example
of the- wisdom of the. policy of
Republican protection, '. - ,

lakes, and the north country with

The other- iialr Is given over to
Canada's industries. In this sec
tion the products of American cap
ital and brains will get their place
in the nevet-setling'sun of the Brit-
. ish Empire. ; By thus demonstrat
ing to British Investors what the
-American manufacturer has been
able to do in Canada,: the Canad
ians hope 4o encourage a greater
flow of British capital ' into thelr
country.----" .' -
