states so explain It? What defense car
he made when the Republican party. In.
trenched In power In the legislative and
executive branches of the government
have broken their pledges and presented
to the people tariff which, II II is a re-
duction at ALL is so small that Il re-
quires the assistance Of an expert stat
isticlan TO establish the fact?
Let me call your attention to a few OF
the injustices under Republican tariff
legislation. For years manufacturers
have controlled the, prices in the home
market by reason OF the tariff, when they
were able to undersell foreign manufac-
turers In their markets.
agricultural implements Of American
make are sold to the farmers Of Europe
and Asia at 20 per cent less than they
are SOlu 10 tne American farmer.
The Dingley law had duty OF 81 per
ton upon steel rails. 1t was shown sew
eral years ago in the hearings before a
Sonsressional committee that tho Unit ed
American railroad comnanies AZ ,2s ner
ton, when they were shipping the Same
to Canada and to NTex,oo and 10 otbey
foreign countries at s21 per ton.
II il true that the Payne bilI greatly
reduces the duties upon steel and iron.
but why were they not taken off entire
ly as advised by Andrew Carnegie
whose conscience is being enlightened
as he approaches the time for final
account?

Republicans defend the tariff schedules
on the plea that they arc for the benefit
OF the producer. Upon what ethical
