Austin American-Statesman from Austin, Texas • 2

I THE AUSTIN DAILY STATESMAN, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 9, 1913 ciples upon which recent tariff legislation has been based. We long ago passed beyond the modettledotion of "protecting" the the country and moved boldly forward to the idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage of the Government. For a long time- a time so long that the men now active in public pollcy hardly remember the conditions that preceded It--we have sought in our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or producers what they themselves thought that they needed in to maintain 8 practically clusive market as against the rest of the world. Consciously or unconsciously, we have built up a set of privileges and exemptions from competition behind which it was easy by any, even the crudest, forms of combination to organize monopoly; until at last nothing is normal, nothing 19 obliged to stand the tests of efficiency and economy, In our world of big business, but everything thrives by concerted arrangement. Only new principles of action will save us from final I hard crystalization of monopoly and a complete of the influences that quicken enterprise and keep Inde- be.

We must abolish everything that bears even the semblance of privilege or of any kind of artificial advantage, and put our business men and producers under the stimulation of AL constant necessity to be efficient, economical, and enterprising, masters of competitive supremacy, better workers and merchants than any in the world. Aside from the duties laid articles which we do not, and probably can not, produce, therefore, the duties laid upon luxuries and merely for the sake of revenues they yield, the object of the tariff duties henceforth laid must be effective competition, the whetting of American wits by contest with the wits of the rest of the world. It would be unwise to move toward this end headlong, with reckless haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own invitation. It does not alter a thing to upset it and break and deprive it ot a chance to change. "It destroys it.

Wel must make changes in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose object 15 development, a more free and wholesome development, not revolution or upset or confusion. We must build up trade, especially foreign trade. We need the outlet and the enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before. We must build up Industry as well, and must adopt freedom in the place of artificial stimulation only 80 far as it will build, not pull down. In dealing with the tariff the method by which this may be done will be a matter of judgment, exercised Item by Item.

To some not accustomed to the excitements and responsibilities of greater freedom our methods may in some respects and at some points seem heroic, but remedies may be herote and yet be remedies. It is our business to make sure that they are genuine remedtes. Our object is clear. If our motive Is above Just challenge and only an occasional error of Judgment 18 chargeable against us, we shall be for- pendent energy alive. Principles Are Plain.

It is plain what those principles must tunate. Called for Great Servlee. We are called upon to render the country a great service in more matters than one. a Our responsibility should be met and our methods should be thorough, as thorough as moderate and well considered, based upon the facts as they are, and not worked out as if we were beginners. Must Deal With Facts.

We are to deal with the facts of our own day, with the facts of no other, and to make laws which square with those facts. It 19 best, Indeed It 18 necessary, to begin with tariff. will urge nothing upon you now at the opening of your session which can obscure that first object or divert our energies from that clearly defined duty.

If you suffer with backaching kidney trouble, have disagreeable bladder and urinary disorders, or are tortured with rheumatism, stiff joints, and its heart-wrenching pains, the new discovery, Croxone, will quickly and surely relieve all such troubles.

Croxone is the most wonderful remedy yet devised for ridding the system of urio acid and driving out all the poisonous impurities which cause such troubles. It is entirely different from other remedies. It acts on the principle of cleaning out the poisons and removing the cause. It soaks right In through the walls, membranes and linings, like water in a sponge, neutralizes, dissolves and makes the kidneys sift out and filter away all the uric acid and poisons from the blood, and leaves the kidneys and urinary organs clean, strong, healthy, and well. It matters not how long you have suffered, how old you are, or what you have used, the very principle of Croxlone is such, that 19 practically impossible to take it into the human system without results.

There is nothing else on earth like it. It starts to work the minute you take it and relieves you the first, time you use it. If you suffer with pains in your back, and sides, of have any signs of kidney, bladder rheumatism, such 8.5 puffy sWellings under if the eyes or in the feet and ankles, you are nervous, tired and run down, or bothered with urinary disorders, Croxone will quickly relieve you of your misery.

For the present, I put these matters on one side and think only of this one thing -of the changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the 1 free channels of prosperity to 8 great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout both rank and file.

It is clear to the whole country that the tariff duties must be altered, They must be changed to meet the radical alteration in the conditions of our economic life which the country has witnessed within the last generation.

While the whole face and our industrial and commercial life were being changed beyond recognition the tariff schedules have remained what they were before the change began, or have moved in the direction they were given when no large circumstance of our industrial development was what it 1s today, Our task 18 to square them with the actual facts. The sooner that is done the sooner we shall escape from suffering from the facts and the sooner our men of business will be free to thrive by the laws of nature (the nature of free business) instead of by the law of legislation and artificial arrangement.
