We can't make the money we
used to make said one of the best

day. Prices have been forced up so
high that people cant buy like they
used to do. Manufacturers fix the price

and at the same time fix the prices
the customer is to pay us. The mar
gin is not enough for the grocer to
live on. They tell us a lot about the
hard times during Cleveland's last ad-
money then than 1 can make now
The people bought because things
were cheap. There are so many things
now which are not necessities that
are so high the public can't buy. I'd
like to see all these tariff laws done
away with, so that stuff could come
into our markets from all over the
world. Prices would be lower and
the volume of trade would be greater.
Wages might be lower, but l doubt
it, The big concerns which manufac-
ture things have got wages about as
low as they can be got. But the prices
of products are higher. We have had
protection against the pauper labor
of Europe, they tell us, but il looks
to me like it has been the kind of
protection that has benefited the man
ufacturer and nobody else. There
hasn't been any law to keep cheap
foreign labor from coming in and TAX
ing the jobs held by Americans" The
