On Growing Up
truly helieH' that I am growing up!
Ilow do I know:- 110 I scorn the pleas­l1fe~
of Ill'" childhood. am I hored with
the fooli~h liule thing~ which mean ~
milch (0 eYf!ry wry young- girl? ~o. It
is decid('(lly nOt that. for I enjoy my
world of ··makc helieve" ju~t as much as
ever. The ~CI.·ret is--I am beginning to
hale 10 ,.;.ee Ihe years go hy.
From Ihe time I was eight I han'
wanled to IX' eighteen, to he grown up
and. as [ thollght then, 10 know and tn
do e'·crything: that wa" wonderful ill life.
I low I hated that answer 10 so manv of
my re{llle~t~ "wait until you arc aider.
~·ml will enjoy it more then." But now
that glorioll~ year is gonc and I hate to
he any older.
.\n()lher ~ymJlt0111 ha~ comc upon mc.
too. I II tryin~ to lind Ollt how much I
know I find instead how little J know.
I~n't thi, a .ign of growing up? J know
that in my 011"11 estimation I knew morc
when I was a ~l)homore in high school
than J <10 now.
I h..'l,·e just lately begun to realize how
milch we must depend upon ourselve" 10
"ulocct'(l in whatever we undertake, \Vhen
we grow ill ye.'lr~ we mllst also grow ill
"trength hecal!~e we Heed thi~ ~trength
10 accompli~h the thing~ which are worth
while ill life.
The mo~t important thing ahollt grow­ing
up is growing up the right way, Thi~
i, the tn:;k which I have before me now.
so that in the years to come I shall not
a!way~ ha\'c to say. "if I only had tho~e
year" to li\'(.! over a~'3in." I do not think
that anyone l'an Ii'·e and not make some
mi~takes. but it i~ thruugh the ... mall thing~
whidl occur when we are growing up that
we profit when we ha\'e reached our
maturity. b it not true Ihen that tllc

We -ometime:-. feel how lI"ele,,~ it is tn

I~I' thi~ is the foundation of the "po~~ible
yuu·· lll1d of what u-.e is any ~tructtlre. no

E'·en though I hate to grow old----()r
older-I l<ln s,'ly with Camaliel Bradford:
··The sollth wind is driving:
I I is splcndid cloud-horses
ThTCIlIgh vast fields of blue,

Our "tariff tiff with France" looms dark
II IXln the horizon. Because of our exces­~
ive dnty on her principle exports, her
Minister has inaul;:"lIrated a retaliatory
tariff on American goods. Countless
times he 1"l:IS tried to devise for the United
States. as he did witl\ Germam' and
England. a :-atisfactory set of tariffs but
he could not sm.:ceed. Impoverished
France owes a great war deht to the
United States amI in order to bu)' goods
when she cannot selt her products, she
must borrow more money. Their re­sources
arc low and in order to pre\'ent
complete bankmptcy they a rc rai:.il1g the
tariff on ;\meriC";ln goods from four
to six times the present rates. 13y this
means we will be the loser by from $60.­O()(
l(OO to $80.(00,000 annually.
Ina~ml1(:h as tariff is of such great
economi~' importance to us as a member
of the family of nations. let us form our
own conclusions this evening, based on a
contrast of Protectionism with Free
Trade.
We find in Webster that Protection­ism
is the doctrine 111.1t certain home in­dustries
and products should be encour­aged
h~' the imlXlSition of duties on
foreigll imports and that Free Trade
means trade with other countries unre­stricted
hy tariff or customs duties.
Spon:;ors of the protection theory <le­dare
that a high tariff increast:s our
forei~n trade: free traders assert the
npP(bite. I f we set lip factories for the
n1.1nuiaet\lre of a product on the condi­lion
of a tariff high enough to keel' out
foreign c{)mp('tition. we may he ahle to
~uppl)" the demand within the country
il-.eli. hut the pric-e beillgexcessh·e. it will
not be profitahle to eXjXlrt the goods to
foreign countries where the product can
he made cheaper. This Cllts off our im­porh
and our exports as well n~ a result
of the di~lncation of the industry. Thus
we destro~' the necessary halance hetween
inlpOrts and eXj)()rts for although we Cllt
off Ihe imp(lrts it docs not increase Ollr
exporTS. Therefore tariff rei<ults in a
de.:rease of foreign tracle and the accom­panying
dblocalion of indu~try.
This protection doctrine has another
lmrmful effect. namely, to aronse foreign
amllgonism. Tariff hnilds a wan about
the Luited States to keep Out foreign
prodm·b. at the -;arne time exporting lh
much goods as we can. Foreign countries
must Imy from us hut they cannot sell
10 liS. Tht"feupon. ari~es an antagonism
\'ery 1I!l1lermining in its effect on our
I.'ountn·. This ~ituation is well illustrated
hy France ..... itll her retaliatory tariff and
('onti1lenlal Europe with its ~l!ggested
deien~e IInion. Therefore protectioni"lll
increase.~ not (oreig-n trade hut foreign
:wimosity.
.\nother ar~,'l.!ment is the Variegated
Inelll'try (hll:trine. Tariff is not a ncces­....
1r~ factor 111 it however. \Vhere
natural resource~ ahound. indu~tries

In the L"nited State~ with its various
dimales. {lifferent soils. sel'eral altitudes,
manifold l1atllntl re,;Ources. and an
ahundance of trained and efficiem work­men.
no amollilt of protei:ti\'c tarilT could
makt: dislocated industries profitable. To
u,;e an extreme example. how profitable
would a ('otton plantation in ),faine be?
The farm question is also another
<;ource of discussion .. \t fir~t. tariff was
considerctl a~ aiding the farmer hy givin]!
Ifilll a nearhy market for his produce.
Thi~ argument is now ohsolete because
the revolutioni7.ed methods of transporta­ti(\
ll have lessened the iml)()rtance of dis­lance
a~ a factor. Xow, when a bil1 pro­\'
iding tariff for the farmer comes up in
Congress. it is promptly rejected. The
ohjections raised are identical with those
a~ainst tariff for manufacturers. but ina .. -

argnment for prt1tection. Tariff d\Lring

industrial stage would be just as inane.
The only period in which tariff would he

in their own countries. Again.
although theoretical protectionisB call for
a high tariff to estahlish new industries
here. practical \rnerican financiers seek
forei.l::n field~ in which to invest their
surplus. Thill- infant industry argumelll
has pa~sed its useful stag-e and must go
into the discanl.
Today, the mo~t potent argument for
prOleo.:tion is the wage argument, the
helief that tariff eb-ates the price of
::-oods to pay ior the elclated scale of
,\merican worker~. In the first place. the
1llanufacnLrer~ who advanced this argu­ment
were in~incere desiring as they do
not high wag-cs for their employees hut
large profits tor themseh·es. I f high
wages enable a company to ha.\'e more
efficient workman!'hip. then it is pure
hn~iness economy for the mmmfacturer
to pay high wages 10 hi~ worker~. This
eliminates the importance of tariff in the
wag-e 1uestion. In the next place, un­hir.~
ed students of the lahor question point
Ollt that high waj.!"e" are due. not to the
tarilT. hilt to the greater productivity of
the workmen. Statistic~ compiled by
Bernhardt Kno\tenherg show that an
.\merican worker is ahle to mine three
time~ ai much co.11 as a foreign workman
in a forei!;,'ll country in the same length
of time. Lahor is paid more or less on
the piece work hasi~. therefore American
workmen with their greater productivity
earns higher wal:"es than the handicallped
foreigner.
Tariff does l10t ]!ive higher wages, btlt
it does encle..wor to remove any profil

exish on iron. l'aU$el; a raise in price of
the finished iron product. The laboring
mall who huys the goods pays for the
