IA fruh" az the thvory witch Jndcrite,
the .iciliniey tiirh fnritT swinaIe.
The theory of trade prohibition
which unierlics the high tariff swindlc
was laid down in a recent speech by
Maj Mckinley as follows. ..Eyery
shipload of foreign products that we
buy displaces just that quantity that
Is made in the United States, and MS
you displacc this quantity you displace
the requisite labor required to make it
in abe United States"
III this assertion il true it would fol.
low that all trade is an evil since the
purchase by one section of country
OF goods from another section would
d'splace domestic products of n value
equal To the imported goods Thus the
sale OF u car load of hry from New
York state in Massachusetts must dis
place portion of the hay crop Of the
inter state. According to Mai. Nc
kiniey's economy this would njurc the
Massachusetts farmer. and would de-
prive lnbor of employment.
Voters who have rcachAi even the
Kindergarten stage of political ccono-
~ know that the Mckinley idea is
wholly fallacy. New York hav is
shipped to Massachusetts only when IL
can be sold at n profit. Instead OF dis
Placing the labor products of Mahsn-
c'iusctts it creates II demand for them,
as the New York f.irmer must take
something produced by labor in OK
change for his hay. That something
may be boots, cotton, barb wire or
money In either case it's production
gives employment to labor.
ENnctiy tho snmc is true il instead
OF coming from New York the hay was
raised in Canada. or any other foreign
country The Canadian farmer sells
hay because he wants goods made by
the labor of New York or Massuchu-
sctts- lie does not give away his prod
nets. but takes back quantity of
goods oqr'nl In value to what ho sells
The result of the business trnnsac tons
which Maj Mckinley wants to stop
by high tariff, is that the peopLe OF
Now Yotls who want hay, and the
farmers OF Canada who want goods,
arc both benefited by getting what
th,y want cheaper than they can pro-
dnce them for themselves. This is the
ultimate objact of all commerce.. rs

proved methods of transportation, the
divcrsihcation of industries and tho

IL foreign goods displace our prod

displace those of countries with which
we trade. We're ade-prohibiting tar

VERY MODERATE 1ARlEF.

n Few Words E-Ynriing tho Taria Gather
in= ut Detroit.
A convention of business men has
been called to meet in Detroit for
the purpose of discussing plans to
take the tariff question out of poll
tics The promoters of the conven-
ton think that commission should
be appointed by congress which should
have sole charge of raising or lower
ing duties, and are con fident that IL
this were done the tariff agitation
which now disturbs business would
cease TO be n factory in industry and
trade. While the scheme for q tariff
commission Is probably uncoustitu-
tional and certainly impractical bic,
one statement of its advocates il
worthy of attention. This is their
proposition: THE tariff levied on all
goods imported from any foreign coun-
try into the United States shall in all
cases be an amount fully equal to the
difference in the cost of producing snid
goods in any foreign country and the
cost of producing such goods in the
United States"
with this democrats can heartily
agree. If the tariff on all kinds OF
e'ptS WAS W ut lOWtTcu 10 tile actual
difference between the cost of pro-
ouciny them here and abroad, we
should have practically free trade.
Thus the cost of refining sugar In tho
United States is much less thnn In for
ei0n countries. Sugar, therefore,
should come in free. SO with n thou
sand other ARTICLES in which the lab Dor
cost OF production is smaller here thnn
abroad. All these would be admitted
without duty, and In the few cases
where it might DO found that foreign
goods could lie made cheaper than
ours, the difference would DO smnll.
American skilled labor, aided by i'm
proved machinery. can convert our
great natural resources OF raw mate
rials in to finished products ms chonp or
cheaper than Chat of any other coun-
try. by all means lot us have custom
duties based on the difference between
tho cost of production here and abroad
Then we hhall have tho lowest tariff

FREE TRADE IN FRANCE.

An Encouraging sign OF the Growth of
Sound economic Principles.
An encouraging sign of the growth
of sound economic principles is shown
in the establishment in Paris, France,

Ean':atiou has been formed for the
purpose o; cnrrying on n vigorous edu-
cH'ional campuirn against protection.
u IL prouosal 10 act through the me-
diam VI chambers OF commerce and
other committees of business men in
creating public sentiment in favor of
lower tariff duties In an address to
the people NJ Rohn, the president of
the league, says: France loses nnnu-
ally l.50J.O 900 francs (S?s5, O10) through
the protective System Germany Is
getting the better of us in the princi-
pal markets. of the world. and we arc
wiilfully repulsing friendly peoples
who used to be our best customers If
II Is useless to attempt the conversion
OF the men bound to the pernicious
laws which enrich them, it is time to
shake the Indifference, entighten the
economic ignorance of the greatest
number, and prepare n distinctly free
trade programme for the next legisln-
tive elections. We know already that
the public powers are disposed to trans
late into laws the grievances of the
immense majority of consumers"
Until recently the unsettled political
conditions OF France have kept the
tariff issue in the background. With
the prospect that the republic is now
firmly established it is to be hoped
that ere long the unrepublican system
OF protection favors to mononolists
will be swept away, and the old French
doctrines of liberty and equality of
rights be established in it's stead.
