certain your present price, and may not
be delayed in his work Of enCompasslng

are only voting for their wives and bO-
bies. DO not be at all moderate In your
charges, for you will be In great demand
and can readily secure the highest mar

prices other reformers Of your stamp
have made use of, you can form some
idea OF your intrinsic value. Now Judas

both Of which nations the standard Of
living is 30 low and labor 30 cheap as 70
enable them 10 produce wheat at much
less cost than can the farmers Of the
United States England, having made
careful estimates Of the amount Of wheat
for sale by the selling or exporting ma
tiOns, establishes price upon the basis
Of the amount for sale and the cost Of
production by the cheapest tabor. India
therefore Is probably the nation whose
cost Of production is the standard Of the
price Of wheat, the labor of the Indian
Ryot being probably the cheapest in the
world. In reducing this price 10 the
lowest possible limit America by her own
culpable idiocy renders England abie rand
heroic assistance. We having, by the
virtual decentralization ofsilver converted
that metal into a commodity, England is
able 10 buy one doIlar's pOrth OF wheat
in India for silver she buys In America
for serenity cents. The price thus affixed,
by some mysterious hOcuS pOcus, be-
comes the price at which the American
farmer has TO rush his grain into the
speculative and gamJiin0 American mar
ket
From the foregoing facts two propo
sitlons are seen TO be self-eyident: First,
a protective tariff is not needed toprotect
America from the importation Of foreign
grain; second, protective tariff Is pOUer-
less to protect the American farmer from
competition with the cheap labor Of In
dla and Russia, except as II does 80 Sa-
directly by preserving the markets Of
America for her laborers, thus increasing
home consumption Of American grain
How then can the American farmer be
prOtectedS Before answering this ques-
tion | wish TO formulate two propositions
or statements First, the history of the
past shows that, taking one year with
another, Americas surplus grain Ii need.
ed and must be had by foreign nations
before another crop Is produced. Second,
il is not American lUhedt but the Ameri-
can farmer who completes and is cOmpet-
ing with the cheap Russian and Indian
labor. In relation TO these propositions
we can see that there is iRUari0bly, for
speculative purposes an Oger estimate Of
the worlds crop published far and near.
But after the bulk Of the grain has left
tie farmers hands and become the prop
erty Of domestic grain operators, and in
part Of foreign buyers, the price OF grain
iaOdridbly rises-in 1889 9-90it has nearly
doubled. Thus It is that the American
lVheGt itself is sold TO foreign nations AZ
the advanced prices, and not only do the
grain gamblers realize all this profit de.
rived from the export or foreign trade,
but they actually get all the profits real
lied by the supply Of the home demand
for domestic consumption, thus getting
all the remuneration that should 90 to
compensate the American farmer for his

necessities to sell his wheat as soon az
harvested, the American farmer Is deliy.

Thus, and thus only, can the wage work

Of the t1O socialistlc organizations; or
ganized labor and combined capital
means natiOnalism, the only true and
philosOphlc remedy for the evils Of the

But TO return TO the tariff. How then
can the tariff protect laborH / answer
BY reserving and holding intact for
American labor and American goods, the
market afforded by the purchases Of 65,.
100000 American citizens. Here the
the tariff has a grand and important mis-
sion TO fulfil; in the iulflment Of which
II should build upon the basic principle
Of "America for Americans" Upon all
articles we can produce or manufacture
In unlimited quantities and OF unrlvaled
qualities, the tariff should be virtually
prohibhory. All other articles should be
absolutely free Of duty. All such arti-
Cles as we do nat produce are produced
by nations who do not manufacture and
need such goods as we do produce or
manufacture An import duty Is no
bar 10 an export trade. Destroy the
trust or socialism OF capital, and we can
manufacture and sell 70 each other and
to foreign nations who need them, man
uiaCtured goods Of all descriptions, more
cheaply than can any other nation; nor
will the keeping out of foreign merchan.
die, such az we can produce for our
selves, initiate one particle against our
becoming the greatest manufacturing
nation ON the face Of the earth. What is
England or Europe anxious TO sell us
that which we cannot manufacture for
ourselves? How will we be benefited by
suTrendering TO foreign manufacturers
any portion OF our domestic market? Az
this stage OF the argument, we meet the
protest Of our "tarif reform friends,
who tell us that II you wish to sell our
surplus grain and farm products we must
be willing 10 receive in exchange En-
glands and Europe's manufactured
goods. Then we had better burn and
destroy our surplus grain and farm pro-
ducts. Why? Because the more surplus
grain we get rid Of In that manner, the
more surplus we have; because just to
the extent that we surrender Americas
market TO foreign manufactured goods,
we contract and lessen the American
manufacturers market and make idle
nOn-consumers of American workmen,
But the tariff reformer's contention Is
fallacious and is based upon false prem
ises, 80 far as the American farmer and
the price Of American grain is concerned,
How is the price Of grain for the world
set and affixed. Tariff refOrmers them
selves, will tell us that the price for the
world is set in Liverpool, England. How
then Is this price established? Let us
see.
The nations Of the earth, in so far as
grain and food products are concerned,
are divided into importers and exporters,
sellers and buyers, the buyers being
those who do not produce sufficient grain
for the support Of their population, the
sellers those who produce more than
enough. The United States ls essentially
