for export only, If it was removed
from the port for the purpose of do
mestic consumption it should pay the
same duty as if imported from abroad.
Il do not see wherein the Ameri-
can people could be harmed by such
a policy, and it would result IN fur
nishing employment to those who
choose to live beneath our flag, con
sumo our products and work at the
Ameriman scale of wages.
1t has long been contended by the
opponents of high protective tariff
that the consumer was forced to pay
tribute to manufacturers without in
any way receiving a corresponding
benefit. This idea is not confined to
free trade democrats, but is now held
by the consuming public generally.
The advocates of the protected in
terests" set up the claim that the tar
iff was a necessity for the protection
of American labor, that without such
protection the laborer would be put
on wage basis equal to that of the
cheap labor of Europe.
But it remained for Secretary Shaw
one of the chief exponents of the "pro-
tected interests, to bust the argument
which has served to blind the people
so long.
Shaw would place under bond ter
ritory in which manufacturing could
be carried on, and if the articles were
sent out of the country no tariff would
be imposed on imported raw material,
and yet in the same breath he claims
the American labor employed in the
manufacture of this unprotected ma
terial would enjoy the high American
wages.
The question which presents itself
is: If American labor engaged in
manufacturing articles for export and
in competition with articles made by
cheap European labor can enjoy high
American wages, why can they not
enjoy the same high wages in making
unprotected articles for home con-
sumption?

chases in the stock market, the trans
action being afterwards ratified by his
complaisant board of directors. Some
of these purchases were of stock in sys-
TENS that had no direct connection to
or relation with the Union Pacific, as,
for instance, the New York Central and
the Baltimore & Ohio. They were made
apparently for purely stock -jobbing
reasons just as to the mysterious sale
to William Rockefeller and the sub
sequent repurchase of 300000of South
ern Pacific stock were intended to
bring discomforture to Keene, the
big Wall street operator.
Ofthe simila character was the pur-
chase of 46 per cent of the stock of
the Los Angeles street railway system
''to prevent it from falling into other
hands" The real reason in this case,
of course, was Harriman's desire to
fortify his monopoly of transportation
facilities in southern California.
The method of securing practical
consolidation of competitive lines by
having one purchases a majority of the
others stock is of comparatively recent
origin. 1t is device to evade the laws
against consolidation. But Mr.. Har-
riman has gone step beyond this.
He has made his control of the Union
Pacific a great engine for manipulate
ing the stock market. He is using his
mastery over the railroads of the west
to win for himself a similar mastery
in the east.
1t is to be noted that this mastery
does not mean ownership-far from it.
| Harriman's actual holdings of stock
In the various corporations he controls
are small. But his control is complete
and rests on an intricate aud interde-
pendent system, in which the ctual
owners of the properties have no voice.
Nor do they care to have any voice.
So long as dividends are regularly de-
clared and "melons" frequently cut
the owners are satisfied. They feel
neither the interest nor the response
bility of ownership. Their stock is
to them mere investment, such as
government bonds might be, or it is a
speculation whose success or failure is
registered on the ticker
Since ownership and control are
coming to be two distinct and differ
ent things in the railroad world, it is
evident that the goyernmentrepre
