though a wayfaring fool. that the cost
Of production is lower in the United,
States than anywhere else in the

labor are higher everywhere else than
here. The notion that American wages
are relatively high rests upon ludi-
crousy illogical method Of comparison.
Look at comparative wage statistics in
any CT all protection literature and you
will find that the time consumed in
production. and never the resulting
product, is the basis of comparison.
Because labor abroad gets. say. dol

not pay American wages unless CON-

with a tariff high enough to make up
for the. lower wages abroad This is

compete with a wheelbarrow because
