American Manufacturers Sell Goods
Cheaper Abroad Than Mt Home.

| American Manufacturers Sell Goods
Cheaper Abroad Than ut Home.
] Where they are able TO yet untaxed
raw material our manufacturers can ex-
port goods at u profit. We have good
! export business in leather and leather
goods, and a considerable export trade
| in agricultural implements. In this lat
| ter branch home and foreign trade lists
show that our manufacturers give their
| foreign customers heavy discount
from their American wholesale prices.
This of course they are obliged to do
to get the trade, as foreigners are not
obliged by law to pay Mckinley prices.
When European plows are offered in
South America at 40 per cent. under
Mckinley prices, our exporting manu-
facturers must cut al per cent. or lose
the trade. This is so plain that it is self
evident; yet some manufacturers have
been inconsiderate enough to deny ii.
Mr.. A. p. Farquhar, the head of th"
Pennsylvania Agricultural works, j.
more candid, however He sells largely
both at home and abroad, and he makes
no pretense that he tries TO keep up Nc
Kinley prices when outside the lines of
the Mckinley tariff.
He declares that he is ready to meet
competition on the merits of his goods.
1.-THE farmer is being destroyed" he
says. 1--WE are killing the goose that
lays the golden eggs; and honestly be-
lieve now that it is to the interest of the
manufacturers to eliminate the protec-
tive feature from our tariff laws. Ger
tainly IL our manufactures are sold
much lower abroad we could only need
protection to get better prices from our
customers at home. We do manufac-
ture and sell in Canada, South America
and Europe many agricultural imple-
ments and machines, and could we have
free raw material and the commercial
advantages which free trade would give
us, America would become the great
manufacturing emporium of the world,
and the farmer Of course would share
the prosperity, since he would have less
to pay for everything and get better
prices for all he sold"
This is common sense, but so long asa
manufacturer believes in artificial Nc
Kinley prices and shrinks from com
petition on the merits of his goods, it is
idle to expect him to show common
sense. But it is even more idle for Nc
Kinley manufacturers to deny that they
sell cheaper abroad than they do at
home, if they sell abroad at all. If they
did not, on what grounds would they
ask the American people to go on pay
ing Mckinley taxes to protect them at
home from the competition they meet as
soon as they get beyond the lines of
Mckinley custom houses.-St. Louis

Democratic Tariff Law.

We denounce Republican protection
as a fraud, taxing the labor of the great
majority of the people for the benefit OF
the few. We declare it to be funda-
mental principle Of the Democratic party
that the federal government has no pow
er to impose and collect tariff duties ex'
cept for the purposes Of revenue only.
and we demand that the collection OF
such taxes shall be limited to the neces-
stiles of the government when honestly
and economically administered. - Ma

The tariff is the all important issue of
the campaign upon which we have now
entered. Shall there be a revision of
our tariff laws, and as consequence of
such legislation reduction of taxation,
or shall it become the policy of our gov
ernment to maintain permanently high
protection? The position of the two
leading political parties upon that ques-
tion cannot be misunderstood .-Adlai e.

RECIPROCITY A SHAM.
It's Pretcnsions Mountain Hight Its Ao
conpIishments Mole Hills.

TIE Pretensions Mountain High; Its Ac-
compiishments Mole Hills.
In his bright and somewhat effective
campaign speech in Springfield, His,
Whitelaw Reid came finally to consider
Republican reciprocity and inquired
dramatically:
ASK the people if they want to throw
away policy that in the first few
months brings such results because the
Democratic convention chooses to call it
q sham"
Reciprocity is not denounced as n sham
because Of the favorable trade results
which II produces, and of these there are
undoubtedly some, but it is denounced
as n sham because 1t pretends to estab-
lish reciprocal trade relations for the
purpose of extending the commerce of
the nation and furnishing market for
its surplus agricultural products, when,
signed as to apply only to the petty ma.
tions Of South America who make little
or no demand for our agricultural prod
nets, while the great nations of the Old
World, which would readily become our
customers IL McKinleyism did not for
bid, are compelled to seek elsewhere as
far rs possible to exchange their goods
for the breadstuffs and provisions which
America can so readily supply. The
pretensions Of reciprocity are mountain
high; its accomplishment resemble the
mole hill. If there be any virtue in the
idea Of reciprocity it is the virtue which
tariff reformers preach in their agitation
for lower tariffs, so that trade may be
freed from the shackles which now
bind it to the detriment Of the importing
as well rs exporting countries.
Reciprocity as now in vogue is q sham
because it does not apply to countries
with which it would be effective to stim.
ulate trade. ... ...
Reciprocity is sham because it is
skillfully designed as chiefly to promote
the sale Of tariff enriched manufacturers
Reciprocity is a sham because it is the
sugar coating around the protection pill
which the farmers of the west are asked
to swallow. .---..-.........
Reciprocity is a sham because while
designed to benefit the manufacturers of
the east, who seek markets in South
America, it pretends to be designed for
the farmers Of the west, who really need
however, reciprocity or tariff reform
that will enable them to sell their provis-
ions and breadstuffs in the great mark
cts Of the manufacturing centers of the
Old World.-Omaha World-Herald.
