HITS HARD AT PROTECTION

Washington, June 12-An attack on
the protective tariff system by an
American manufacturer, who claims to
have studied labor and manufacturing
conditions in many countries, held the
attention of the House of Representa-
tives for two hours today. Represen-
tative William C. Redfield of Brooklyn,
New York, a new democratic member,
manufacturer of machinery and long
connected with export trade, said that
American manufacturers are Astounding
the protective principal as unnecessary
as they develop more scientific man
agement of their own plants.
1.-THE protective tariff simply has en-
abled the American manufacturers to
sell at such high prices that they have
not studied their own conditions closely.
"They have relied upon government
support rather than upon business
management.
''It's effect has been to develop
plants until they are now SO large that
products must be sold abroad In this
condition the manufacturers no longer
want to pay the high prices necessary
for the material which is necessary for
protective tariff. ,, s
Mr.. Redfield declared that instead of
foreign labor being the cheap Ameri-
can labor is really the cheapest iii ii I'll the
world that no d;
product in proportion to the wage re-
ceived as American. Mr.. Redfeld at
tackled the republican differences in

to determine this difference. He said

WARNIlsG BY THE LEAGUE

Not long before the South Dakota
farmers met in Aberdeen and sent a
delegation to Washington to argue
against the reciprocity bill, one Of
the executive officers Of the Ameri-
Protective Tariff league sent this
warning to the faithful all over the
United States:
Once the American farmer finds
that protection is not for him, the
end OF protection will quickly come.
len million votes are cast Dy Ameri-
can farmers. Kindly write or wire
your senator or representative in con-
gress in opposition to the treaty.
The league has succeeded in keep
ing the American farmer fuddled on
this question for about 40 years and
il is now solicitous lest the Canadian
Experiment. operates on the farmer as
an eye-opener.
Not from any anxiety for the well
fare of the farmer. but with full
knowledge that the vote of the farmer
protects the monopolies that thrive
Oh the hard earned dollars of the
farmers.
South Dakota's congressional dele
CATION will probably vote against the
reciprocity bill, although the major
ity sentiment among the people they
represent is favorable to the bill.
Its members appear 20 be working
hand in hand with the Protective
Tariff league, which does not want
the farmer to learn that protection
does not protect him.
