The Shaw tariff speech that he is
delivering tn republicans in southern
states follow so closely the stand-pat
arguments OF the inspired republican
campaign book that one is forced to be-
Geve that the expert who is reputed
to rave been the author Of that "claims
everything" compilation must also have
written Sbaw's speech. But whoe yer
wrote the Shaw speech exposed the
fallacy of the whole argument OF the
advantage Of selling abroad cheaper
than here by assuming that the producer
and the consumer belong to two
separate and distinct clnsses instead OF
beng the same mass OF people. MI.
Shaw says that "it it was necessary to
pay more for his clothes, shoes, his
sewing machine. Lis typewriter md his
tarbed WIRE" he was willing $50 long as
the products Of American looms clothe
and the products OF American labor
generally supply every need OF those
who produce these things thus cold
abroad at reduced prices" Secretary
Shaw thus sacrificing himself ON the
altar OF his country for the benefit OF
the balance of us, is a species Of altruism
only exhibited when the exigencies of
republican campaigns T require such
sacrifices. } These worSIngmeu for whom
