culIison ON American Prices Abroad,

The Hon. G.. W. Cullison, demo-
cratic candidate for congress from this
district, who spoke at the court house
last week, advanced as his principal
reason against the reelection of re-
publican congress that American man
ufacturers sell their products cheaper
in Europe than they do in this country.
He did not claim congress should reg
ulate the selling price of our products
but he did claim that with free trade,
or without our protective tariff, 1t
would be impossible for our manu-
facturers to sell cheaper abroad than
here.
Mr.. Cullison went on at length about
the lower prices of American products
abroad, leaving the impression that
this difference in price was general.
He particularized some and then spoke
in general terms. He mentioned type
writer machines saying they sell at$55 to
$65 in England and at 800 here. This
is similar statement to the one made
in the democratic text book this year
and we presume that document is Mr..
Collisions sole authority in the matter.
W. I. Haynes, of Poweshiek county,
a reliable citizen of that county, is
visiting in England this fall. Mr..
Jarnagin, editor of the Montezuma
Republican, wrote him recently con
corning this and similar statements in
the democratic text book and MIR.
Haynes replied by sending home a
price list of American goods at the
selling prices there. In that catalogue
1t quotes the latest improved Reming.
ton typewriter at $1,000. TLey are
sold here at 800.
MIR. Collisions statements conveyed
the impression that American machin
cry generally was sold higher in Europe
than here. This same catalogue of
which we speak quotes standard Amer.
lean harvesters over there at forty
pounds sterling, or 1894. so in our
m oney while here they can be bought
at $l10 to $l25. Standard American
NOV ers sell there at sS7 in our money

from $51 to $5s owing to the styl,
while here they are from SIS to $2t
cheaper. Mr.. Haynes also says tina
this is the general rule on American
made goods, that they sell higher there
than here.
This is one side Of the matter, however.
1t is the other side from the one Mr..
Cullison presented. If we were like
he is we would only present one side.
We think our authority, an Iowa farmer
visiting in England, is more to be be-
lieyed than Mr.. Collisions authority,
evidently the democratic free trade
text book. But we prefer to state
some further facts.
W. J. Ballard recently had an article
in the New York Sun in which he quot
ed largely from the records of the
testimony recently given before the
industrial commission of this country.
Mr.: Ballard does not deny the fact
that some of our American manufac-
tured products are sold cheaper abroad
than here, but that instead of it being
the rule that they are sold cheaper
there it is the rule that they are sold
higher there and the exception that
they are sold cheaper. He says "In
1902, the fiscal year, we manufactured
$4,000, 704, 900 of which we sold aboad
S403, 800, 1853, and Of that more than
s4O0, 900, 900, at lower prices only
80, 9S2, 900. In other words, on all our
sales abroad of manufacturers only
per cent was reduced in price, and of
our total manufacture of $4,000, 0OO,-
900 the proportion so sold was less than
one thirteenth of one per cent. That
is all it cost us in the way of cut
prices to keep 6,750,OO wage earners
working on full time at high wages,
instead of far less number working
short time at lower wages as in the
gloomy low tariff years of 1885,"
The fact that even so small part of
our products are sold at less prices
abroad than here is amply justified in
business way. Do not home mer-
chants selling at home, occasionally
cut prices to push off large stock, or
to get into new territory? They have
their bargain days sometimes. More
than one percent of the goods sold
here are sold below the usual selling
price.
When man is running for congress
we claim he is something of a teacher
on public questions. He comes before
his audience most of whom have neither
time nor opportunity to investigate
these questions, aud it becomes him to
be careful that he does not abuse his
opportunity, misslead or deceive.
We contend Mr.. Cullison left an i'm
preston at variance with the facts.
Mr.. Cullison, who is on old time free
trader, because the enterprising Amer
lean manufacturer has put the price a
little lower on one one-hundreth of
what he sells abroad to price little
lower than the home price in order to
get into the foreign market, because of
that stroke of enterprise which practic-
ally benefits all classes of people here,
Mr.. Cullison proposes to abolish pro-
lection. We predict be will have to
present much better reason than that
before the Ninth district will vote to
send free trader to congress.

Since the democratic party turned
the administration of public affairs
over to the republican party five years
ago. last March, business conditions
have changed wonderfully. Business
confidence has been established. Man
ufacturing had been tremendously in
creased and our exports of American
products to foreign countries almost
doubled. The value of farm products
has doubled. The value of farm lands
has nearly doubled. In 1897 nearly
5000, 900 men in this country were idle.
Now all who can work and want to
work can find employment. Wages
are higher throughout the country than
ever before. Bank deposits have in
creased fifty per cent. Rates of inter
est are lower than ever before. In fact
prosperity is with us. There are some
things in present conditions we do not
like, notably the increase of trusts, but
the republican party is pledged to con-
troll them il possible, and it is not only
more disposed to do so than the demo-
cratic party, but il is more able to do
so than the democratic party would be
even if it were in power. We think
every farmer, mechanic, laboring man
and business man are personally inter-
ested in keeping the republican party
in power so as to prevent the overthrow
of the era of good times now prevailing.

the fear is that they will not take time
to vote.
The people are not discussing any of
the issues that are impending. 1t is
true that the issues this year are not
numerous. The democrats are object
ing to the general state of things. In
their state platform they say that "they
find many things that ought to. be
changed" II the republicans Of Iowa
would read this sentence over few
times aud think for moment of how
the democrats changed things when
they had an opportunity there would
be less apathy.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1902-10-23

1t is dangerous to say that nothing
is at stake this year, that there are no
issues. There are issues and import
ant ones. The people are prosperous.
They were not prosperous when con-
gress was democratic. They are not
likely to be prosperous if the next
house should be democratic. ALI kinds
of wild legislative schemes would be
launched and the influence of the Re-
publican president and the Republi-
can senate would be wholly devoted to
preventing the consummstion of Dem
ocratic schemes which have been
proved impractical by the course of
past events. Instead of il being pos
sible for the president to secure the
enaction of laws that he wants, and
laws that the American people want,
he would be able to accomplish moth
ing. With Republican congress the
laws aud policies of the nation may be
further strengthened. With Demo-
cratic congress nothing can be done.
The people of Iowa can help to as
sure a Republican congress by the
election of solid delegation from
Iowa. They can elect this delegation
by going to the polls on election day.
but they cannot elect them if they stay
at home. They can demonstrate an
interest in the situation by attending
the political meetings that will be held
during the next two weeks. They can
see that their Republican neghbors
vote on election day and they can exert
their influence to have some of their
Democratic neighbors vote the Repub-
lican ticket. II the Iowa Republi-
cans do these things the party will
have an old time majority. II they
fail in their duty they will reap the
harvest which they reaped once before,
and have not yet forgotten.
