Tho Tax Ju&gle.

SAYS the Protected Manufacturer: !:
"Nhy. don't we manufacturers pay our
proportion with the rest , The halter
pays his twenty-five per cent. to the
shoemaker, the shoemaker pays his
twenty-five per cent. to the halter, and
out Of the increased prices we are all
able to pay the farmer more, and 90 1t
goes everybody gets higher profits, and
it il u good thing I'LL avcInI!"
Let us simplify. Suppose We have a
community consisting Of halter, u
shoemaker and u farmer. The farmer
hoes his own row, asking odds OF no
ln,dy but the halter and the shoemaker
demand bonus Of $5Oa year each. How.
on the Protection plan, will they get It
1t would l,e too lArefaced steal to levy
A tax on tile farmer alone. They will
not dc that. Avoiding tho appearance
Of unjust discrimination. they will put
a tax on all consumers ot hate and shoes;
they will make alt purchasers Of hats
and shoes contribute alike to the PrOteo-
tion fund. Very fair, this looks but
mark the singular result:
The halter pays SO year to foster
the shoe industry.
The shocnakc, pays go year to fos-
ter the hat industry.
These two transactions balance each
other. Neither the halter nor the shoe
maker are out Of pocket penny.
But the farmer: He pays 80 q year
to foster the hat industry, and 80 year
To foster the shoe industry; total $lM''
He receives-nothing. His industry II
not ''fOstered.'
There il is in nutshell. The Prctec
ticn tax is laid on all uiikc. But when
the books are balanced, the halter and

Food for the supply of the daily

taken early in the day, before the
nervous and secretive forces are
exhausted by toll.
2. Rapid digestion in the early
part of the day contributes to the
immediate demands of motion and
enervation
81 Food for the repair of the con-
tinuous wear and tear of the tissues
Is IN less immediate request; the
completeness Of its solution is of
more Importance than the rapidity,
