Show TARIFF AND ASH MARKETS I I l lUnder By L. L A A. A I Under the above caption our friend J J J. J P. P May lay proceeds to to criticise my lily recent article on Markets Well VeIl it is Is a good good thing to be criticised criticised for criticism brings out truth But lets let's make the issue clear Tile Thc I I Republicans believe in a high protective protective protective tive ta tariff while the Democrats believe believe believe be be- lieve in a tariff for revenue revenue with in incidental incidental incidental in- in protection and Roosevelt ran ran on a Progressive platform in 1912 asking ing for revenue and a differential differential differential dif dif- tariff That Is a a tariff t that at would protect l us its against st cheap foreign foreign foreign for for- eign labor that is to add enough tariff on fo foreign eigIl goods so that it would make malee the goods goods' cost the same sam as the tha th higher labor l bor goods cost inthe in inthe the United Unite l States State Well Vell you know I I that that platform suited me mc He was running aga against against Taft and Taft carried only Utah and Vermont atthe at atthe the elections and Roosevelt carried most of tho the other Republican states and unseen I 1 would bet bel that J. J P. P didn't vote for Roosevelt in 1912 but the writer did It is well to stay with a party sometimes but when the party part r drifts away way from what a man believes it is well to re rebuke re- re buke bake his own party to show a mans man's independence A tariff for revenue with ith a differential differential differential differ differ- is a correct principle and that will protect the labor that J.P. J.P. J. J P P. P is asking for But a high protective protective protective pro pro- tariff is a tariff that makes a farmer pay about for a mowing machine and all other farm implements m ments its at the same ratio when before the war he could buy that mowing machine for about and other implements at that ratio Be Beside ide this it is cutting off of the farmers farmer's foreign marl markets ets because r ir lr tile tale tariff tax is too high the foreigner cannot bring his goods to fo our shores shue and 1 hence tEnce lice the foreigner will not buy Imy tn UI th s farmers farmer's goods and we are forced to tr de only with our eh An And l also I I we compel foreign nations rations to make met e reprisal against us by for forcing ing a f high I I price on rubber sisal coffee ni nitrates nitrates ni- ni ni I f camphor silks and potash and a lot more things that ive we e buy I I And we know that the high tariff I is not to protect labor unless it be sometimes as an fal but it I I I I enables the big trusts to raise the tIle price of commodities as s high cs l the tho tariff wall and compel the American I IThe i I public to foot the bill b ll The tariff is so high that the foreigner for for- foreigner I fo I eigner cannot sell us his liis goods bood but the home trusts raise the price to to about the same as the foreigner I I would have to pay fay and the government government government govern govern- ment doesn't get a d sou out of cf this thi I high price but the trusts get get it all I I and of course that is where the m profits come ome in that enables the trusts to pay a big tax sur-tax to the government which will do o as an emergency shift make but as as a continual continual continual con con- policy is opposed to the prosperity prosperity prosperity pros pros- of the country There is much else that I would like to say Sari but there is is such a thing as cramming cramI cramming cram cram- I ming g and a man marl shouldn't eat cat hI hrs his I three meals meal a day daJ at brea breakfast time |
