Show JIONISST CONFESS I OX. Senator Harris of Kansas, lias returned home from a summer epont in Europe in the interest of the St. Louis exposition, and will take part in the campaign in his State. lie is loaded to the muzzle with anti-trust and othorarrniments which he gathered on the other side oT the Atlantic. "Everything of American make is cheaper abroad than it is in this country," said Senator Harris to a representative of the Kansas City Journal. "The shoes I am wearing wear-ing are of American manufacture. I bought them in London and paid for them ;Ji3 per cent less than is charged for the same make of shoe in Chicago. My work in connection connec-tion with the St. Louis exposition took mo to all the oreat stock farms, and I was very particular to ask Englishmen what they paid for American farming machinery and tools. found that they paid a good deal less than I am compelled to pay in Kansas City for the same article. It is the tariff that is to blame. A merican (roods sold abroad are not a surplus product. The American manufacturer is selling his goods abroad at a fair profit, and selling them to us at a tremendous tremen-dous profit." |
