As TO LOWER PRICES ABROAD,

s. AS TO LOWER PRICES ABROAD,
The claim that some Of our manufac-
lures are sold abroad at lower prices
than at home, out of which the demo-
Gratis are trying to make an issue, is
not a valid objection to our system.
Recently the Montezuma Republican
presented a refutation of this as to GER
| tain articles based on statements Sc
cured thru rrespondence. Its figures
proved the statement to be false.
Another Investigator who has made
careful examination into the subject
shows that in 1902, fiscal year. our ma
ton manufactured $13,001, 200, 400 worth
of goods and articles, of which we
sold abroad $4OS,S9O,763 worth, and OF
that only $3,0S2,00O at lower prices In
other words, of all our sales abroad of
| our manufactures, only per cent was
reduced in price, and of our total manu-
facture of over $13,0O000O,000 the pro-
portion SO sold was less than one-thirti-
eth of per cent certainly not a very
alarming share. That is all that 1t cost
us in the way Of "cut prices" to keep
6,750,000 wage earners working full
time at high wages, instead of far
lower wages, as in the gloomy period of
1886.
It Is interesting to know the reasons
for these cuts in prices. They are
economic ones and have no political
significance. Summarized, they are as
follows:
Twenty per cent lower to Offset
transportation charges and duty; low
err on account of Canadian tariff; to
10 per cent to- commission houses lal-
most always necessary in selling to
foreignersl; slightly less at times on
account OF American competition Ia
natural result of busy factories1; per
cent less; lower because of drawback;
lower to meet English, French and Ger
man [cheap labor] manufacturers; 20
"
iQuent reason to get rid of out-of-d date
goods]; lower by cost of boxing and
delivery; discount, 10 per cent, which
equals cost of selling in the United
States, constant reason in these days
OF multifarious American drummers, to
bring the markets to the merchant In
stead OF the merchant going to the
market in the good. DID, slow-going
Ldemocraticl days; lower to run full
time [clearly in the interest Of the
American wage earnerl; lower because
terms are cash; lower rather than be
forced out of the market: 10 per cent
less to England and Canada, all others
higher; average. 2 to per cent lower
to meet foreign prices; lower to in
crease volume of business at home land
employ more menl: ard in one solitary,
unfortunate neutrality-suspicious.
at cost to meet foreign [cheap laborl
competition"
After an investigation of this subject
the Industrial commission says: From
such information as came to the in
dustriaf commission In response to its
Inquiries addressed to exporters, it is
certain that the making Of lower prices.
abroad than at home has been greatly
exaggerated About 20 per cent Of those
reporting say that they occasionally
make such prices in order to meet the
market and sell their goods; but so per
cent report that they sell at either the
same price abroad as at home. or at
higher prices"
There is certainly nothing IN the
charge affecting workingmen or home
purchasers.

A diet That DId Not Agree with the
Crane.

Crane.
Some time ago | had occasion 10 oh.
serve an interesting change In the hab.
It's aud temperament OF a crane which
had been picked up In the swamps OF
Arkansas" said a gentleman from one
OF the towns on the Mississippi river,
'and the change was startling too. The
crane was placed In a small park which
was literally filled with English spar
rows. These pests did not like the Wis
itOr from the lOwlands, and they made
daily assaults on the poor bird. The
crane was a pretty fowl, long. slender.
pure white and with the stately stride
OF a tragedlan. The sparrOws would sys-
tematically swOop down on the crane
In drOyes, and the attacks were herce
and vicious,
The crane stood the assaults with In
difference for awhile. but finally the
fowl from the swamps figured out a
method OF retaliation. and II was effec-
tual. la some way the crane learned
that sparrow was a pretty sweet NOR
sci From the time she learned Il ahS
feasted on sparrOws. She would slip
up cautiously on these pesky twitterers
and throw her yellow beak out like a
gig, She never missed the mark. She
always landed a sparrow. and a slngu-
lar part Of the thing Is that she would
swallow them whole, feathers and all.
But the crane would always dampen
the bird by dipping Il in one Of the va.
ter basins Of the park.
The diet evidently did DOT agree
with the crane. and she became a tribe
