CUT THE TARIFF
SAYS {. M. SCHWAB
AMERICAN LABOR, BEST IN THE
WORLD, HAS NOTHING
TO FEAR.

Chicago, March 2S-"Cut the tariff
on steel or anything else you please.
American labor can stand it. l don't
care said Charles NJ. Schwab, pres
ident of the Bethlehem Steel com,
pany yesterday. Il believe in reduc-
ton | feel just as Andrew Carnegie
does on that matter American labor
can make the best steel in the world
and with it We can compete with the
world. I know nothing about other
lines, that is technically, but | have
enough confidence in American labor
to believe that the tariff can be cut
without injuring the business.
Il have been in contact with labor
of all kinds for many years, and I
know what it can do. I know that
American wOTkmen can produce more
steel in a given time than any others
in the word. I know they can put
out better steel than any others. We
have nothing to fear from a cut in
the duties, because we have the best
goods. It is true we pay our work
men more money thar other nations.
but you always have to pay skilled
workmen the highest wages. There
fore the highest paid labor is the
most profitable to the employer. The
skilful man makes money for his en-
ployer."

beer having hard time for the last

by the day, especially if he belonged

What the Ultimate Consumer Seeks.
Everywhere all over the country
there are thousands Of young couples
just starting their lite together who
are saving money to build a home.
Tariff changes mean as much to them
as they do to a manufacturer with
m1lllon-dollar plant, perhaps more
What these young people, these ulti-
mate consumers, are asking of the
Payne bill is, will it reduce the cost
Of lumber, of nails, of builders hard
ware, Of laths, and pIastering, and
bricks, Of clothing, and of food?
When a man so situated takes up
copy of the Payne bill and reads such
items on the free list as Balm of Gil
cad, cudbear, divi-diyi, dragons blood,
fossils, kelp, sticks, mama. myrobo-
lans, pulu, spunk, turtles, and zaffer,
and looks in vain for the necessaries
which means so much to him, he
may doubt whether the tariff is be-
ing revised downward for his benefit.
The ultimate consumer will ask of
this revision Of the tariff just what
the manufacturer Of woollens, or cot
tons, or iron. or shoes will ask:
How does this thing affect me?
Will 1t cheaper my necessities? Will
my financial condition be improved by
the new schedules?" Sooner or later
these questions will have to be def
nitely answered. 1t won't do for the
republican orators simply to point
with pride to the prevailing high
wages in the United States, as com
pared with other countries.
More people than ever before have
come to the knowledge by actual ex-
perience within the last four or five
years that the man who receives a
wage of So per day, Of which he has
to spend $3.50 for necessities, is bet,
