They've found us out /! They've
found us out |! They've got onto
our crazy-quilt tariff curves.
The British, the French, and the
German manufacturers
Are giving the Yankee workman
and the Yankee manuf acturer just
the gruesome sensations you have
had in crossing the English ch annel
in a choppy sea.
Our smokeless chimneys are home
ing places for bats and sparrows,
while the east wind brings the sound
of alien machinery to our disgusted
ears.
The foreign end of the manufac-
turing teeter- board is mounting high
er.
This end drops SO fast that it gives
a sinking sensation at the Yankee
stomach.
"a robust earthquake under Capitol Hill last
Summer would have been bad, but honestly
arn't some things that are happening now
worse for lack OF that earthquake?J
And yet the story we tell you to-
day is of lower prices, and better
styles of Black Dress Goods than
ever before.
Sort of a paradox isn't it? Cheap foreign
labor. and lowered tariff helps the Briton to
send us these goods cheaper than the American
workman can make them minus the tariff.
So there comes sailing over the
ocean
These Dress Goods to our ports.
