little over 1000. 900 more. It Is thus
shown that out of our IL, 000, 900 producing
laborers, considerably less than 2,000, 900
of them were engaged in pursuits in any
sense protected by the tariff, il il can be
demonstrated that the tariff protects ct all,
which we deny, the American people pay
enough in tariff to give each Of these
1000, 900 operatives four dollars . day and
board at the Palace Hotel, and yet the
statistics show that on q grand average
| they receive less than one dollar per day.
We could pay the entire wage account Of
the manufacturers and give them their
labor free Of cost with this RESULT Mar
velous amt it. but true nevertheless.
But admitting for the sake of the argu-
ment that the tariff does protect labor why
should the labor OF the IL, 00O, 900 en-
gagged in other pursuits be taxed for the
benefit Of the 2 1000, 900 engaged in manu-
featuring industries? By what rule of
equity should tho laborer in Nevada be
required by Jaw to contribute Of his earn
ings to the support Of the laborer in Mas
sachusetts? By what right does the Gov
ernmeDt take money ont Of the pocket Of
one citizen and put it into the pocket of
another-or build up one industry at the
expense of another? And yet this is pre-
cisely what it does, when 1t attempts to
protect certain industries while leaving
the great mass unprotected.
Another very grave consideration is the
fact that protection dwarfs and DESTROYS
commerce. The American flag has been
driven from the high seas since the Repub-
lican party came into power.
Nations, also, retaliate with prohibitory
| tariff legislation. Germany, little Portu-
gal and France tabooed the American hog
| because we had, through the medium Of
our tariff, denied some Of the products Of
those countries access to the American
market. They simply paid us back in our
own coin; and We missed the sale Of $780,
0G0, 900 worth OF mess pork during 1928.
| Our farmers were kept out Of that much
money and this country impoverished to q
like extent. Even England. to get ever
on us, has been trying to exclude Ameri-
can beef through her quarantine regula-
tions. And thus we drift against one OBJ
stacle after another.
The present tariff runs from 20 per cent
to 1870 per cent. Think Of that latter fig-
ure. One dollar and eighty cents tax on
an article originally worth but one dollarl
The tariff is An imperceptible tax. How
consumers would kick and squeal il they
