FREE WOOL AND A CoMPETITIvE
TARIFF

Conrad Hobbs, of Hobbs, Taft &
Co., writes a local paper ON the
Democratic competitive Tariff"
idea, as follows:
"Free wool and a competitive duty
on goods would open the American
market to the foreign manufacturer,
but might give the American manu-
facturer a fighting chance in foreign
markets.
IA duty on wool and a competitive
duty on goods would open the Ameri-
can market to the foreign ~manufactur-
err and would absolutely exclude the
American manufacturer from all for
eign markets.
"The present tariff protects the
American manufacturer in the home
market, even though it prevents him
from competing in any foreign mar
kets.
"The proposed Democratic tariff
would open the American market to
foreign competition and close the for
eign market to American competition.
at seems only fair that the Ameri-
can manufacturer be given either: %
protection in the home market. where
by the tariff-foreign markets are
closed to him; or (2) a chance to com
pete in foreign markets when the
home market is opened to the competi-
tion of the foreigner.
"He should have either: (1) A duty
on wool and a protective duty or
goods, or ~ free wool and a competi
tive duty on goods.
GA duty on wool and no protection
on goods would of necessity bring dis
aster to the American manufacturer.
It would take away part of the home
market and give it to the foreigner
and make it impossible for the home
producer to get a compensating share
of the worlds markets. boston
