THE FIGHT FOR THE CONSUMER

There is, at least, a prospect that
the new tariff will not be made sub
stantially the same as the Dingley
law without vigorous fight on behalf
of the consumers. This fight will be
led, and may be almost wholly made,
by revision Republicans, not, as
might have been expected, by Demo-
Gratis. And it is chiefly in the SEN
ate, where there is more freedom for
the individual member than the re-
strictive rules to which that body
has again subjected itself
The attitude of the Democrats In
both the senate and the house has
been disappointing. They have no
definite plan on the tariff; they have
no revision organization; they are
divided on many schedules; some of
them are as extreme protectionists
as may be found on the Republican
side. This attitude is hurtful in two
ways. 1t withdraws from the consum-
ers a support they have had to a
greater or less extent, in the past
and had reason to expect in this
emergency, and it encourages the
high protectionists in course they
would scarcely dare to follow in the
face of a strong opposition, standing
pat" for the consumers.
In the meantime let the people
take note of their friends in congress
A representative of sugar district
in the South may be able to say-as
one did the other day-that he will
vote for any old bill that will put
sufficient protection on sugar, for be
may be reelected for Just this kind
OF courage" But senator's and mosl
representatives who put the demands
of single industry above the rights
OF all the people of state or a dis,
trict will encounter obstacles If tho
rev tariff fails to reduce the cost Of
living.
As for the Democratic party in
congress, unless 1t gets right on the
Payne BILL 1t will lose any advantag,
1t has held on the tariff issue-thC
strongest advantage 1t has had in all
its history. City Star.

at less cost than we do and yet
they advance this holish proposition
If there has been cheapening of
prices an investigation will show that
the cheapening has taken place the
world over and that it is just as
apparent in free trade England as in
the United States. The fact that the
cheapening came during the opera
tion of a high tariff means nothing
viii some one kindly suggest when
else II could have come in this coun-
try.
Mr.. Johnson also wants something
specific as regards the raising Of
prices by the tariff. 1t isn't necessary
There cannot be the slightest doubt
that there has been an increase in
the cost of living in the last 10 or
20 years and 1t has been a decided
increase also. II became so notice
able that congress felt the necessity
of advancing its salary. The members
could no longer live on the plttance
of $4,000 a year. They all agreed
then without hardly dissenting
voice that the cost of living had in
creased, and raised their salaries so
per cent-to $500 per annum And
furthermore, every man old enough
to remember back few years thinks
living costs more than then. That
surely isn't all Imagination. A whole
people is not given to any such wild
speculation unless there is something
back of it all. What then is the use
of searching out statistics for the en-
tertainment of Mr. Johnson? If he
can't appreciate a situation like the
present one it is pretty certain a few
figures would have no effect.

ExroRTION MAKES
IowANS MAD

We have been fighting the sched-
ules on woolens in every way thst
seemed available because after a
careful examination we have come
to believe that they are the wicked
est extortions in the Dingley tariff
law. But so far, editorially, very
little has appeared about this mat
ter in the contemporaneous press
The tariff doesn't seem to attract
many editors. For some reason
they appear to avoid it. But there is
really nothing of an economic nature
more important, just now, than the
questions comprised by the tariff
However, it is a pleasure to know
that when men do speak on this mat
ter and discuss it, specifically, they
frequently come to the same conclu-
sion that we have reached regarding
woolen weayes, sugar, petroleum,
thread, cotton goods and some other
schedules. Senator Dolliver of Iowa,
made the attack direct in the Senate
yesterday and specified "the wooden
schedule as one that ought to be re-
duced." The Senator declared, 'the
people are tired of having these du-
ties raised from 100 to $50 per cent
for the clothes they wear on their
backs"
It does seem to us that that Sena-
tor was talking sense. AS we have
explained previously there is levied
on woolen goods a duty ranging from
60 to 300 per cent. and the schedule
is probably the most extortionate in
the Dingley law. 1t wrings from the
American people $2OO,OOO,OOO annual.
ly of largesses, of extortions above
legitimate profits, as has been ex-
planned in these columns and II Is
no wonder Senator Dolliver, coming
from the great agricultural State C
Iowa and representing an intelligent
and independent people, proclaims
for the elimination of these prohibi-
tory tariffs for extortion and brig
andage and declares the people are
getting tired of being held up and
robbed There ought to be such n
discussion of this matter in every
newspaper and on every stump and
platform in America as to make its
further continuance morally impos.
sible.
There are items in schedule X
which deals with wooden weaves,
which go as high as 1SO per cent
Fine woolen blankets bear duty of
80 per cent but cheap wooden blank
cts bear duty of 165 per cent. Is
it any wonder Senator Delivers
Iowa, hard-baked Republican con-
stituents are getting tired?
The clothes you wear pay tariffs
either to the government or TO the
manufacturer ranging from GO to 900
per cent. when they should pay only
a tariff ranging from 20 TO 60 per
cent. to the government.
There are $7OO,OOO,OOO of Ameri-
can made goods which could be pur-
chased in Germany for $4OO, ,OOO, 900.
The labor cost on those goods is
S67OOO,OO0 and If we add $4,000 900
for American labor those goods could
be produced profitably here at a cost
of S5OO.OO0,0OO which demonstrates
that the monopoly sheltered by the
tariff robs the people of this coun-
try of $2OO,OOO,OOO annually.
Hence it makes the people of Iowa
tired. So says Senator Dolliver. But
1t is about time it made everybody
tired

HIGH TARIFF MOI
A MONEY SAVER

In the general hue and cry about
high prices and the increased cost OF
living which FIee-Traders and re
formers" are continually raising as
means of breaking down Protec-
tion, Z is a pleasure to find an eX-
preston which indicates an apprecia-
ton of the fact that so far from
having been increased in price, the
articles of common use have bee1
greatly cheapened by industrial
progress under a Protective Tariff
In the New York World" appears
the following from Mr.. Elmer E.
Johnson, of Middletown, N. Y.
Editor "World": / wish some OF
your able correspondents would name
one or more articles which come un-
der the general classification of
necessities of life on which there is
low, high or a Protective Tarin
and which is produced in this coun
try that is not cheaper to the cor
sumer today than 1t was at the time
the Tariff was enacted.
Don't commence to generalize, but
go down to solid facts by naming
articles. the Tariff on the same, the
prices ten or twenty years ago, and
the price today.
Just to give your writers a line
of thought TO follow, it may interest
them TO learn that kerosene oil has
been reduced from so cents a gallon
to cents, sugar from - cents a
pound to cents, and -four from $12
barrel to Sc.
This reduction in price to consum.
ers of only a little over 100 per
cent. on three articles goes to show
how the Protective thieves have been
robbing us poor ill-fed, half-baked
yaps who don't know a good law
when we see it.
ELMER f. JOHNSON.

The list of the necessities of life
whose prices have greatly decreased
under a Protective Tariff could be
indefinitely enlarged AS a matter
of fact Protection has proved an i'm
mense money saver as we'll as a
money winner.-American Economist
Mr.. johnson is considerably off in
his attempt to say something and OF
course the Economist adds to the de-
ception. The statement that the Pro-
tective Tariff has cheapened the
prices of the necessities of life is too
silly to need a reply. If things are
cheaper in this country it is because
they have cheapened in the markets
OF the world. The cheapening pro-
cess is due to other causes than high
protection. How even a monopolist
could claim that a high tariff, the
adding TO the price of foreign articles
shipped into this country, could pos
sibly cheaper prices passes UNDER
standing. If all this cheapening had
come about in that manner we should
be producing at a less cost than the
foreigner and the protective tariff
would be unnecessary. But this isn't
true as we all know The grabbers
still want the tariff lert as high OF
higher than it has been in the past.
When an effort is made at revision
they rise up in holy terror and ask
II you seek TO destroy prosperity.
They admit the foreigner produces
