PROTECTION IN CAMPAIGN.
To keep American workmen- employed \ye must keep Eu
rope from taking tin* American market. You cannot employ
men in European factories to make goods for American con
sumption without throwing American workmen out of employ
ment. W'liat advantage is there in being able to buy foreign
made goods cheap if we to do so must stop our forges and looms,
and shut down our factories at home? What would it profit us
if we can get goods from Europe at one-fourth the price we can
manufacture them here in America, if we must close down our
own manufacturing plants, and throw our people out of em- •
ployment, to do it ? What will our laboring masses have to buy
with, even if they can buy European made goods cheap, if they
are unemployed ?
The American market is the best in all the earth, and we
must protect it. Protecting it means “America first and Am
erica efficient.” To throw our ports open to the commerce of
the seven seas means to make America the dumping ground of
t he world.
While the Pnderwood law is not an absolute free trade
tariff law, it lias all the free trade in it that the Democratic
party could saddle on the country. It has enough free trade in
it to stump it as a free trade tariff law. It does not have enough
protection in it to protect American industries against foreign
invasion, and this makes it a dangerous law to have on our na
tional statute books. It must therefore be repealed at the ear
liest possible moment, and an adequate protective tariff law en
acted in its stead. This is our only salvation. If it is not done
tlie American market will be swamped at the close of the Eu
ropean war, and an industrial panic will be the result.
The fight that protectionists are making in the present
campaign is for the election of champions of a protective tariff
to the presidency and in both houses of congress, so that imme
diately after March 4, lid7, an adequate protective tariff law
can he substituted for the present Pnderwood law, and the fu
ture made secure* for American working men and the entire
American people.

NENANA IS PROBABLY RIVAL OF FAIRBANKS.
i
- |
I ndcr tin* most propitious conditions the town of Nenana
during the past week was created, and achieved within a few
hours the promise of a remarkablely healthy growth. There is
good reason to expect that its future is assured, and that Fair
hanks is to have a neighbor of goodly proportions with whom
its relations are to be of the greatest importance. By every rule j
of common sense these relations should be of the most friendly j
nature, and none, with the exception of a few disgruntled irre
sponsibles would care to see them otherwise.
Fnfortunately, however, it cannot be denied'that there ex
ists an animosity against Fairbanks in the minds of some few j
residents of the new town. This bitterness of feeling is being j
given expression on every occasion, with the evident hope of |
stirring up a jealousy between the two towns. It is hardly like
ly that it will have much effect, for the vindictiveness and ir
responsibility of the detractors is apparent.
The fact that Nenana is on the map will be a help to Fair
banks, rathe!’ than a hindrance, as some of the local pessimists
maintain. The new town can take away nothing from this dis
trict from which benefit is derived, and it will afford a market
for much that is produced here. Nenana is being built because
of Fairbanks. Had it not been for Fairbanks there would have
been no Nenana, for there would have been no railroad’. In pon
dering this proposition it might be well to remember that a
river does not usually rise higher than its source.
Fissen'ially a “government” town, Nenana, should not lack
for influence to advance her interests, but circumstances may
arise which might be shaped to better purpose through the aid
of a friendh’ neighbor. Always that help, to the extent that
Fairbanks can affoul it, will be at the disposal of her new sis
ter. Alaska Citizen. ;

It has been suggested that the city gather up the clam
shells this winter and use them next spring in making much
needed improvements to the streets. They make the best kind
of a road, and are used extensively for that purpose in the
states.

Ireland, noted for her crops of potatoes, patriotis and poets,
stands forth in a new role—that of egg producer—the island
now exporting some 849,000,000 eggs a year.

Minister of Finance Bark is the only member of the Rus
sian cabinet who hasn’t been changed since the war started. He
is the kind of Bark that it’s hard to peel.

Speaking of national aspirations, Bulgaria is having a fling
in that popular diversion in Dobrudja.
That big buy of 200,000 tons of copper by the allies will
have its effect upon the mines of Alaska.
