The confounding of the ideas OF
protection to American labor with tar.
if taxes on foreign products is the
strong hold that politicians try to keep
on the working classes. Every pound
Of raw material that is imported from
abroad helps to employ American la
Dor, and in the case of wool usually
helps the consumption of homegrown
woods also. If it were rot imported,
the goods, or worse still, the clothing,
would be imported already made, and
in the latter case there would not be
a cents worth of American labor in
its production; so with iron ore. To
make these materials free would in
crease the demand for American labor
and give farmers better home mar
ket for their productions. In pure
wool and worsted goods the cost of
materials is about three times the cost
of labor, and a duty on these materi.
ais tends to diminish the amount the
manufacturer who consumes them can
afford to pay for his labor. 1t also
drives him to the substitution of shod-
dy and cotton for wool.-Wade's Fl

Your American protectionist is a
consistent soul He commends the
protective tariff because England does
not have it and advocates a shipping
bounty because-as he alleges-Eng-
land has it. The American Shipping
League demands for American vessels
a bounty of thirty cents ton on for
eign freight for each thousand miles
it is carried. This is about 81 ton
from New York to Liverpool. The
present rates to Liverpool charged by
the fastest ocean steamship lines on
the commodities named are now as
follows: Bacon, 1925; butter, $40 (;
corn, 1915; cotton, $50. The aver
age freight on these staples is, then,
less than 81, and it is proposed to tax

WHY Times are Hard.
