The Cost of Tariff to East of Us.

Few of us have entered into the tar
iff question far enough TO reduce the
matter to concrete figures. We are
apt to speak of the magnificent q
whole in awed voices, as of something
beyond human grasp; we are also just
as likely to consider the man.who pre-
tends to. solve tariff problems as a de-
ceiyer. a figure faker or an undesir-
able citizen
But when a man shows us. that the
whole amount raised by the country
annually from tariff duties is only
ss2eoo6.o00, we can easily grasp the
fact that the per capita expenditure
as the result of protection Of indus
tries is only $3.50. The Marion (fnd.)
Register has the following:
victor Berger is the lone Socialist
member of Congress. He represer IS

La Toilette or the Socialist has had
the whip in denuntiation of existing
conditions Each claim they are bad,
that legislation is responsible and
therefore the Republican party is TO
blame But the Socialist las been
making an investigation, and to his
surprise found tat the Tariff is not
the rotbcr it has been painted. IL
SAYS that any body WHO believes Free
Trade is panaeea must guess again
That an abandonment ef Protection
would mean that "a great dea! OF oui
manufacturing would be done across

trous for our working men. He con-
suited statisti.s and found that the
entire yearly income from Tariff duties
is in round numbers. 1926, t00. 900,
which means $50 per capita. There
are 5,FDo,000 wage earners he says who
earn 1880 ,o6N.ee0. annually. But what
ever the amount they receive they
have employment. Under Frce-Traae

by men Ia other lands. If distributed

would be the amount each person
would pay for the support of the gov
eminent. Count the days in the year
and it win be seen that ii amounts to
nearly ONE CENT a day. Was there
ever such robbery in the history of the
world? Anti-Protectionist, go burn the
statistics which prove the falsfty o'
your contention, but save youI howl ;
you will need it in your campaign FOL

tries of the country to foreign lands
or transfer the wage of Great Britain

Political Abuse of Industry.

No truer statement of conditions.
causes and effects. and prospects has
been given the public than contained
in an editorial in the Christian Sci
ence Monitor, entitled "A Time for
Calm Reasoning" In these days
when political opponents and dem
agogues are attempting to discredit
the present administration by creating
unrest and discomfort in the great
mass of population, it is 4 good time
for candid people to think over the
prosperity at hand and the blessings
we enjoy. The fellow that pities YOU
and tells YOU how you are suffering
wants you to try his medicine. Kill

scription. Read what the Monitor
