lis shown by their exporting their
profits to other countries and selling
them in competition with the foreign
manufacturers after paying the high
duties which are demanded there. In
many instances ii has proven that the
price the trusts obtained abroad are
much less than they charge our peo-
pie.
If the trusts were making no profits
On goods exported they would not
Hong continue such business, or be so
anxious to extend this trade by send
ing agents to increase ii. so the eX-
cuse that the trusts are losing money
on the goods they are selling in for
eign markets, or dumping their sur
plus for whatever it will bring, is not
borne out by the facts. The trusts,
like other people. would not continue
to do a losing business and be seeking
more at the same Improbable rate.
The steel trust is bidding on foreign
contracts against the English. Ger

turers, and successfully, too, at 33 per

not lower the price of its products at

the balance of us would all be better
off if the tariff was reduced and com
petition was allowed to keep the trust
prices down. If the cost of living was
reduced one-third. the wOrkmen could
afford to labor for less wages. and
what Il blessing the lower cost of liv-
ing would be to- those with limited in
comes! The farmer would get the
same price for what he raises under
Il low tariff as he does under Il high
tariff, because the price of agricul-
tural products are based upon supply
and demand and no tariff can change
that immutable law. and the farmer
has no protection to aid him except
the duty on wool. and that has proven
to be a boomerang. The wholesale
and retail dealers make Il larger per-
centage of profits the cheaper they
can buy the goods they sell. they
would gain by tariff reduction. The
whole army of those who work for

are benefited by reasonable price
for all they buy. The high tariff adds
to these prices directly and in Il much
greater proportion through the in
creased profits the trusts and pro-
tected monopolieS charge under the
shelter of high protection. The re-
publican masses feel that protection
is robbing them and are protesting,
the Iowa idea" being sample pro-
test. But the republicans have sue
ceetled in putting even that small eff
fort to sleep.
