WHAT THE TARIFF - DOING.
II Robs Foreign Factories OF the
Chance OF Doing Our Work for VI.

Do rou remember how English
statesmen favored the southern Con-
federacy when those states were in
rebellion against the government to
break up the union? Do you know
why England felt so much sympathy
for the Confederacy?
The northern states were for pro
tective tariff and Tor building up
American industries. The southern
states were for free trade. All they
wished was to- develop their agricUl-
tural resources by means of slave
labor, sell the surplus abroad. and i'm
port their manufactures. There is
where Engand's sympathy found
such deep root. The cotton industry
OF England depended largely on the
success of the American rebellion.
When the rebellion broke out the
cotton crop amounted to from 5000
900 TO 1000. 900 bales. II now amounts
to from 100000 TO 13,500.O00 bales.
In 1860 we were spinning very little
of this cotton in America. none in the
south.
Year by year. since the close OF the
war. under Republican tariff politics.
cotton spinning has increased more
rapidly than the size OF the crop. 4
year ago there were $3.50 .0Oc spindles
in England During the past year the
enlargement of English Cotton fac
tories has been very great BY the
end Of this decade the increase in the
decade will equal that in 30 years be-
fore.
In spite Of the growth in English
cotton spinning there has been great
expansion in America The south,
which, when the war broke out. had
no cotton factories, now has many
We are using a very large portion of
our own raw product and importing
increasing quantities of raw cotton
The increase in value in the year
1906 amounted to s!4, 10000 and the
exports decreased $13, 100000
Cotton manufactures are worth
more than twice as much as the raw
material Think of that, We kept
at home s13,5O0,OOO worth of our crop
more than in the previous year, and
gave this value of about $50 900 900
We sent abroad the money this made
again was worth $4,000. 900 That is
what tho Dingley tariff act added to
our wealth in one year in one inaus-
try
Under a free trade policy we would
probably be growing nearly as much
cotton as we do now, but il would
nearly all go abroad TO be made into
cotton goods, and for each dollar we
received for the raw stuff we would
have to send out two dollars to pay
FOR the goods made OF our own ma
terial. If we were all free traders
and sold all our raw cotton to go
abroad We would get at the prices now
ruling s500,000,O00. But to get back
the goods made. if we needed them,
we would pay 1000, OOO,OOO
Which policy is the best for the
American people?
This is the policy which the great
and good Mr.. Bryan calls the "robber
tariff. If it robs any people it is the
foreigners whom it deprives of the
chance to do work we should do our
selves.-Los Angeles Times.

There are two religious systems.
aside from Christianity, which claim
the worship of the Japanese
Buddhism and Shintoism. OF these
the latter scarcely aspires TO be a re
