It makes the issue clear and straight. For a long time the privileged beneficiaries of the protective sys- tem have managed to fool a considerable number of people into a belief that protection tends to the welfare of workingmen, but no such confusion is possible in an issue where the question is the simple one | of admitting food supplies untaxed from Canada. | That blunt issue has to be bluntly met.

He put down the | robber barons mercilessly and made the country safe. Where an odd example of punishment was needed his quick brain readfiy found one. For instance, he captured fourteen ruling princes who had mutinied against his power and he forced them to walk up and down in front of hie palace carrying dogs in thetr arma. ‘This was deemed an everlasting dingrace and {t quickly smashed the :ebellious princes’ pridé. Me also compelled the Magisirates of one conquered city to kneel before him barefoot, clad in sacle cloth, with ashes on thelr heads and ropes around their necks, Having restored order at home he proceeded to punish Italy for having cast off the German yoke, He ravaged the northern part of that country, levelled the city of Milan to the ground and sowed its ruins with salt, quarrelled with the Pope and won the rulerships of Poland, Bohemia, Hungary and Burgundy. | He was at one time master of the greater part of the European Continent. The quarrel with the Pope brought Barbarossa the bitterest misfortunes of his Wfe and well nigh deprived him of all the genlus had amassed. Here, | force failing, he tried diplomacy. ‘The lion became for the time the fo and thus won back power, Then came news that stirred all Christian Europe with horror, The Saracens for centuries had been masters of the Holy Land. But a crusader army had driven them from Jerusalem, thus snatching the sacred shrines there from infidel hands. Now word was brought that Saladin, the Saracen Sultan, | hed retaken the Holy City. At once another crusade was planned to win back the city and drive the Saracens out of Palestine, Richard I. (Coeur de Lion) of | England, the King of France and other monarchs rushed to arms. But fore- most of all was Barbarossa. He raised an army 30,000 strong and marched against the infidel. ‘On Barbarossa and his veterans depended the whole success of the Crusade, On Barbarossa, too, in a measure, depended muvh of Europe's future. He reached Constantinople and thence crossed to @yria, con- quering as he went. On June 10, 119, the main body of hie troops came te Calycadnus River, a little stream cunning through Cilicia.
