fourth year, he already has left be-

Kansas City. Today they say he
knows more people here than any
other man.
Because the young people of his
parish were not marying-fast
enough he started matrimonial
school the first of the year. His
classes, which meet once a week to
listen to him discourse on this sub
ject, have ranged from so to 100.
Fifteen engagements resulted
in those classes. And the
publicly given to the venture has
made the Fathers study the busi-

try. Already he is able to an
nounce altogether 108 engagements
and several marriages. Among his
correspondents are millionaries,
judges, physicians, laborers, school

Our exports of manufactured
products last year Fiscal yeaI
1912 exceeded 100000, 900.
The evidence at hand shows THAI
a very large proportion of these
exported goods are sold abroad
for lower prices than are OBJ
tanned In our own protected mar
ket. The average difference is
probably 10 per cent. In some OF
the highly protected manufac-
lures the domestic prices are 100
per cent higher than export
prices.
1t goes without saying that il
our manufactures can in one
year sell billion dollars worth
of their products for export for
$4,000, 900 less than they are
getting for the same quantity OF
similar goods in our market we
would, IL there were no protective
tariff between us and foreign
prices, be able to save about
$2,000,000,00O a year on our es-
timated home consumption OF
$13,000,000,O00.
Two million dollars a year
means over 500 year per fam.
lily on manufactured goods alone.
The tariff tax on other goods will
increase this amount by $40 o.

Chairman of the Tariff Reform Committee
Of the Reform Club.

Tariff favored American manufacturers and
tariff fostered trusts, selling their products abroad
cheaper than they do at home, discriminating
against the American consumer to the extent of not
less than $2,00O,OO0,00O year--$100 every year
from every family in the United States.
This is an estimate, but it is conservative one,
obtained by considering the difference between
port prices and domestic prices of our manufactured
products.

and started another blaze so that the
fires might burn simultaneously.
