NOME ALASKA, MARCH 26, 1917.
Following the announcement of
peace proposals, Judge Gary gave an
interview to the New York American.
It interests every citizen of tho Uni
ted States, and particlulary those
that work with their hands—laborers I
and skilled mechanics.
F.usiness men must remember that |
after this war when they deal with
anybody in England phey will deal with
the English government, in France
with the French government, in Ger
many with the German government.
The nations will act as business
units. The biggest of our Industrial
combinations will be trifling in
strength compared with a business
monopoly made up of an entire Euro
pean nation.
We shall need big business units,
properly encouraged as well as prop
erly regulated in this country.
Wc shall need government encour
agement and co-operation to compete
with the great government enterprise*
of Europe. We need above all pro
tection for our working people. Read
carefully this quotation from Judge
Gary’s interview:
"The purchasing power of a large
part of the whole world will have
been very greatly reduced. Foreign
countries which are now buying our
products, because compelled will with
draw their patronage in a large meas
ure.
"Other non-producing countries will
find their financial resources and cred
its lessened. More than this, foreign
producers in great need will strive
more diligently than ever to supply
the countries that are financially able
to pay and at prices based on cheap
labor and low cost, as they have a
perfect right to do.
"Our producers, including our wage
earners, will find themselves in com
mercial antagonism with the most per
sistent and difficult competition ever
experienced, unless this shall be pre
vented by laws that tre reasonable
and sufficient. Most of the foreign
1 reducing countries, and quite likely
"■ll of them, will be thor Highly pro
tected by tariff provisions nn.l we
s.aould be on a parity with them in
his respect.
• "I firmly believe, if the present un
proiectlve tariff laws remain un
e); aged, we shall probablv meet with
< run petition from foreign sources af
•ei fho war closes whin will ad -
veisely and perhaps disaitrous’y af
fect American industry and American
i alter.
"Conditions will he evn worse than
they were between October 1, 1912.

and tlie beginning ot the war."
The end of the war finds the other
nations weakened, in desperate need
of money, compelled to work at any
price, compelled especially to con
centrate attention upon this rich
country.
Unless we have protection in Am
erica for our workmen they will find
themselves in direct competition with
the millions of men released from the
armies—men that must work for
what they can get. and compete with
us ai any price.
The money is here and Europe will
send her products, her manufactured
articles, here to get that money.
Every well-informed man knows
that war alone saved this nation from
the hardest kind of hard times, due
to lack of tariff protection.
There were big mneerns in the
United States that were actually do
ing business at a loss just before
the war. This they did rather than
allow foreign competition to tbreak
up their organizations here and take
business away from them. But they
woold not long continue that.
"After the war" the greatest attack
in history will be made upon the re
sources, the markets, the workers of
the United States.
This country and the workers with
in it will need the wall of tariff pro
tection ns much as Holland needs her
dykes. ,
And if we don't hare the wall we
shall be industrially drowned.
We are facing a period in which
theorizing, sentimental. “free-trade
for humanitly's sake" talk will be
out of place and in which partisan
talk of "democracy . the low tariff
parly" will also be out of place.
As Europe finishes her war of can
non and sabers, we shall have forced
upon us a war of industry, and we
shall need preparation and determin
ation to keep the prosperity and es
pecially to k“ep our own people em
ployed.
Judge Gary, head of Ihe United
States Steel Corporation the biggest
industrial unit in this nation, has a
peculiar right to talk in regard io the
tariff.
He and his corporation recently se‘
an example of others by increasing
the pay of all the employes, number
ing hundreds of thousands to an ex
tent that adds twenty-five million to
that one payroll for this coming year.
A man who has demonstrated to the
extent of twenty five millions annual
ly his belief in high wages in Am
eren is entitled to express an optnton
as to necessary legislation to make
high wages possible.
If we discourage our farmers by
bringing in their products free we
shall not only ruin the farmers, but
ns we have already seen, increase the
cost of livign .The farmer stops rais
ing sheep because i‘ doesn't pay him
I
with "floe wool and free meat.” And
the price of muttoo goes up.
Ho si, ps iaising heef because be can
not compete with beef fed on the
great fields of South America. And
the price of beef goes up here.
What applies to the farmer applies
to the industries. We have here In
America what we need or the power
to produce it.
All that is necessary Is that, like
brothers in one family, w© should buy
of each other, in preference to buying
of strangers across the water.
And the immediate necessity is to
enact such tariff laws as will make
Americans buy of each other instead
if lompeting as to which shall get
work done b> the cheapest labor of
Europe.
Newspapers politicians, office hold
ers, all the citizens and particularly
those that work with their hajtds,
should realize what th; present low
tariff policy of the United °tates will
mean once this war ends
While the war lasted we were not
flooded with European goods—be
cause they were all murdering each
| other and had no time to manufac
ture for out markets.
Once (lie war ends they will all turn
to us to our accumulation of money.
The loss of the money would not be so
serious. Hut the idleness of our men
would be very serious.
And nothing hut wise, adequate
tariff legislation will prevent that
Idleness.
Judge tie.try. who has conducted
with singular w isdom and public spirit
the great Industry of which he is the
head, talks not for himself as much
as for the smallest worker in his steel
corporation when he speaks as he
speaks n.s he does about the tariff.
l,et the workers remember this.
Such men as Judge Clary and others
will easily survive hard times and low
tariff. Their dividends may suffer
temporarily but that can be endured.
What cannot be endured is loss of
work, loss of the weekly salary—and
that is the loss that will face mil
lions of workers in the United States,
if adequate tariff protection is not
supplied.
