Stop and Think.

Speaking in defense of the tariff bill' at Providence. R. 1., the home state of Senator Aldrich, President Taft said: „ v “lb has introduced free trade between this country and the Philippines. And that was a measure Of justice which was long delayed and ought to have been given as far back as 1900." Very good. But the Philippines are many thousands of miles away, and Canada is on our very borders, and our total trade with the Philippines last year was $20,000,000, whereas our total trade with Canada in spite of the high duties was $242,000,000. And we offer the Philippines free trade, while we offer Canada 25 per cent on the top of the Payne-Aldricb tariff. Such is the logic of protectionism. , International Chess Match.
