which might prove injurious to the
roots of the trees, have been de-
monstrated TO be outside the prima-
ry cause of injury. After seven years
work 1t was concluded by an exper-
mentor that the injurious effect could
be due only to some poisonous sub
stance formed in hte soil by the roots
OF the grass. IL is well-known fact
that in many instances considerable
difficulty is experienced in obtaining
growth of grass under trees.

WOULD PAUPERIzf
HOME LABOR.
Inevitable Consequence Of the
Democratic Plan Of Lowering
Prices of Commodities,

During the Presidential campaign
that Is now on. the Democratic speak
ers and newspapers will persistently
use the old argument that Tariff re-
duction would lower the prices Of such
commodities as are produced in other
counties as well as In this and which
therefore could and would be brought
into this country in larger quantities
If the import duties upon them were
reduced.
But they that advance this argument
omit its obvious corollaries which are
that lower prices necessarily must pro-
duce reduced wages. that increased In
ports of articles manufactured in this
country must diminish the demand TO
home products and consequently the
demand for labor required to produce
them and ultimately greatly reduced
earning power and purchasing capa-
city of the masses.
As a concrete example, let us take
an American industry which produces
annually, say $f0.00O,000 worth of ar
ticles- 1t gives employment. at good
wages, to some thousands of Ameri-
can workmen. Its products are sold
in the United States, at prices which
enable the manufacturers TO pay such
wages as American workmen expect
and deserve, and 10 make tair re-
turn upon their invested capital and
for the time and thought they devote
TO the management of their business.
In foreign counties like articles are
produced which are sold cheaper be-
cause the wages which are paid for
the labor that produces them are much
lower.
In order to Protect the American
manufacturers and their employees
from the ruinous competition when
they would encounter if those pro
ducts of foreign cheap labor were adj
mitted into the United States without
restriction. import duties are imposed;
that is, whoever wants To import sucn
goods must pay for the privilege Ger
tain percentage of their value which
is approximately equal to the diff
ference between the foreign cost OF
production and that at home.
Now, then. if those import duties
were reduced. OF even removed. the
obvious result would be that an
amount of foreign products equal 70
a large part OF the $lO00O000 worth
OF the products of the home indus
try which We have taken as an eN-
ample would be sent into this country
To meet this competition, the man
ufacturers would have to cut prices
and, necessarily wages. But If they
should cut prices only to the level
of the foreign products they would
still have To meet the foreign competi-
ton. There would then be still
diminished demand for the home pro-
ducts. American workmen would not
only have their wages cut % the low.
foreign level. hut many Of them would
