Quite a number Of people have sent me
copies of the pamphlet whose titIe-page car
ries the foregoing words. It is fair to infer
from this circumstance that there has been an
effort to give general publicity to the views
OF Brother McCord.
After introducing himself as bacl1-woods
minister who lives two miles northeast Of

Brother Cobb proceeds to say:
Il have recently come in contact with one
of the most ridiculous things have ever heard
of In the history of this country'
1t transpires that this most ridiculous thing
is THE JEFFERsoN1ANs attitude on Foreign
Missions.
If Brother McCord will reflect earnestly. he
may be able to conjure up few things that
are far more ridiculous than anything he has
seen in this paper. For instance, when For
elgn Missionary puts silk plug-hat on the
Woolly head of negro In Africa as a means
of pleasing him so profoundly that he will
then consent to listen to the missionary

Some OF the Ways i'm Which the

CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE. J

clded that the railroads are entitled to net
profits over and above expenses, no matter
how extravaganza. Therefore while the Steel
Trust vlctImlzed the railroads, the railroads
passed it on to the patient public in freight
and passenger rates
Consider the Beef Trust, if you please:
there being a high tariff on all kinds of meats
the foreigner has to climb over the wall be-
fore he can compete, consequently monopoly
IS born. The American packers combine, fix
the prices and the people have to pay, or
starve. There being no Tariff on meats in
England, the American packer sends his pro-
duct to the London market and sells steaks
and roasts for much less than he charges in
New York and Chicago. Yet there must be
profit III those lower prices charged by the
Beef Trust in the London market. else there
would be no motive for shipping the meats
across the ocean. The fact that there is
profit in those lower prices made in the for
eign market indicates the enormitv of the
crime against humanity in those higher prices
charged in the American market
The newspapers announce that an Ameri-
can syndicate with $5,OOOOO0 to back it has
opened establishments in London to sell dry
goods to the English in competition with the
English mills. There is no Tariff duty to be
paid by the American when he carries his dry
goods into Great Britain for sale.
But when the Englishman enters his dry
goods in the American market he has to pay
at least sixty cents on the dollar (value of
the ooods) for the privilege of selling them
here Now, if the American can pay freight
on his goods across the ocean and undersell
the British spinner in his home market, and
do so at profit can't you realize what
monstrous thing it is to compel the English
man to pay such high price for the privilege
Of competing with the American manufac-
turer in the American market? Inasmuch as
this Tariff duty causes the Engishman to add
it to the price of his goods; and inasmuch
as the higher price which the Englishman is
compelled to charge enables the American
manufacturer to run his own price up to
practically the same thing, can't you see how
terribly you are burdened by this internal
system which taxes all for the benefit of the
few?
