The Fan,e Of / 40 Broadwav.


The letter Of ex-Congrossman Robert
Baker Of Brooklyn, which we print else
where in this issue. deals most delight
fully with that famous expose Of the
pnce-raising influence of the protective
tariff, which is given daily in the watch
store at No. $50 Broadway, New York
City.
1t is at this establishment, now so gem
erously but deservedly, advertised with
out any expense to the proprietor, that
the American people are enjoying ana
obiect-lesson in the way they are taxed
by high prices through the American pro-
tective tariff. AT every other watch
store in the country'buyers are required
to pay from 30 to so per cent more for
American watches than this store at $50
Broadway willingly sells them for
How can this be possible il may be
asked.
BY a very practical and businesslike
process, it may be answered The Watch
Trust binds all Of It's United States
agencies, under heavy penalties not 10
sell these American watches for less than
a certain price. Then it goes into foreign
markets and sells its watches, in open
competition, at greatly reduced rates.
The man at 1870 Broadway has his agents
in foreign markets, who buy these Ameri-
can watches at the rates there current
They are reshipped to this country, and
the man at lsO Broadway finds himself
able, after paying customs duties and
freight charges, to sell these American
watches at considerably less than Trust
prices, and still realize handsome profit
1t is useless for advocates Of the pro
tective tariff, those who contend that
"the foreigner pays the tax" and that
taxation Of trade protects home indus
tries, to attempt TO cry down this striking
obiect-lesson. Here we see how the
tariff, by protecting Trusts, enables the
latter to impose high prices upon the
people. The Watch Trust will, no doubt
put a stop to the sale Of American watches
at $50 Broadway as soon as possible, bu
it can never obliterate the effects of thi
most illuminating lesson.
