THE TARIFF.
htor Providence News

Editor Providence News
The following was submitted to me in
the News Aug. 6th:
How high or how low should tariff
he TO protect the producer and consul
mer? Suppose a hat is produced in Eur
ope for 20 cents and in America for 81 %
impose n tariff OF 10 cents on the Eur
opean hat. and the American has an ad-
vantage over the European equal to the
cost OF getting the goods from Europe to
America. Hence he can undersell and
still make the same profit as the Eur
opean. This done. the American could
hold the market But II he charges ex.
orbttant prices the European Will under
sell him. So with a small advantage will
enable the American to hold the market
against the European. it's smanness also
protects the American consumer against
the avarice OF the manufacturers. Sup
pose we impose a tariff OF 30 cents in
stead Of 10 cents. the American can raise
the price Of his hat 20 cents and still keep
the European out, a clean gain OF 20
cents TO the American manufacturer and
the American consumer In legally robbed
OF that amount. Master the above ideas
and the tariff will have lost much OF it's
mystery"

from home. thunder storm arose and
the lightning was so bright and keen that
IL frightened the good bear and ne howled
with fear. Nearby stood n little mound
and very crafty family OF prairie dogs
lived within.

that he was afraid of the noise and clash
